Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Followed closely by Final Fantasy IV and VI.

F-Zero and Mario Kart were up there too.

That one game where you were inside the robots but then you could take your little guy and and fly into another robot to continue on, whatever that one was call...

Sounds kinda like Paradroid, but that was a C64 game.

I updated my post, but figured it out.

Metal Warriors

OH GOD YES THAT GAME ROCKED! I never could remember the name of that game. But me and my friends would rent it and play that thing for HOURS straight in the vs mode. It was SOOOOO much fun.

I can't pick one favorite SNES game though. It's really a tie between Earthbound and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the 7 Lost Stars. I still play them every once n a while for the nostalgia value.

I'm going to say FF2, FF3, and ChronoTrigger were the best. Dunno if I can think of a bad one, though.

Best - Chrono Trigger / Final Fantasy 3 (tie)
Worst - Home Alone or Batman

Contra III rocked, and might be one of the hardest games ive ever played. Ever notice how end bosses these days are not even close to as hard as they were back then. Even the first level of Contra III was crazy hard.

Zombies Ate my Neighbors anyone? Aladdin? You know you played Aladdin...

You can't just pick one. Besides the ones already mentioned:

Actraiser. (launch title?) A combination of action + a little bit of sim which the 2nd one failed to capture.

Street Fight II. The reason it's no longer mentioned anymore because we've seen so many incarnation of it on just about every console. Back in the SNES days, this was the number one selling game of all time.

Smash TV. The game version of "The Running Man". Just down-right arcade fun.

Some of my favorite SNES games are Zelda, Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Mana, and Super Mario World.

However, Chrono Trigger stands above them all. That was such an awesome game.

Unless you made the ROM yourself, it's still illegal.

breath of fire 2!

probably one of my favorite rpg's of all time... never really understood why the series wasn't all that popular (though granted, 5 totally blew).

And you are costing Nintendo millions of dollars a second by owning it. :)

Best -> Zelda: Link to the Past
Worst -> Skydive! (You literally fall from the sky for ~15min. then try to land in a target area, like in Pilotwings)

For the record, Pilotwings was freakin awesome.
