I have a handfull of games that came with it. Don't know anything about Super Nintendo being that I've never been a console. But what the hell, it was free! Games are next to nothing in cost now that its an obsolete system.

So which games do you recommend?

man, the super nintendo had one of the (if not the) best library of games. Some of my favorites included super mario world, alien 3, mario kart, and star fox. I was not a big fan of RPG's at the time, so someone else would have to help you with that. I think there was a game called Chrono-Trigger for SNES that was supposed to be really good as well, dunno for sure though.

OBSOLETE? You BASTARD!!! :|

j/k :)
Anyway, a few games I like:

Killer Instinct (very nice 2d beat-em-up)
Super Mario World (I've played through this game at least 3 times, and found something I'd never seen before every single time)
Legend of Zelda 3 - Link to the Past (very fun, and pretty long too)

Can't think of anything else at the moment.

Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 2, Magic Quest (hey I liked it)
Pilotwings
Super Mario World
Yoshi's Island (never played it, but this thing usually ranks in the top 10 console games of all time, go figure)
Super Battle Tank
Jungle/Desert Strike
Mario Kart
Act Raiser (personal favorite)
Super Metroid
UN Squadron (favorite shooter)
Contra 3
F Zero
Mario Paint
Mechwarrior (really sweet at the time, forgot which version it was)
Smash TV (good arcade port)
Any of the Star Wars games
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (perfect port from the arcade)
Wings 2


More than enough to keep you occupied. Those are my favorites

Super Street Fighter II - best SF game evar.

Ken Griffey Presents Major League Baseball is probably the best baseball game on SNES. Very easy to just pick up and play. The second one Ken Griffey's Winning Run was good, but didn't have the arcade feel to it.

If you want an f-ing stupid "why, oh why did they make this game," look for Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball.

I've played about all of the games in this thread and they kick butt. Yoshi's island is actually really fun, go figure. I beat chrono trigger twice, and it has to be one of the best RPGs. If you like that, then get a Playstaion and play the sequel, chrono chross.
