A while, and how that I look it up a couple of years, ago I made a list of my top 25 Super Nintendo games. If ever there was a system that will for the rest of my life have a huge nostalgia factor it would be the SNES. I know that if I make it to 90 I'll still be playing some of the games on this list occasionally. The system was fun. It was pure. It was simple, but powerful. With far less power than modern systems have there were games that were much more complex than many of the most recent releases.
The SNES will be remembered in a fonder light than the generation of systems that came directly afterwards. Why? It was the pinnacle of 2D gaming. The absolute pinnacle. The generation that came after were the first forays into the world of 3D and modern gaming. The games were clunky and many were very, very ugly.
I made this list in 2006. Time has flown since then, and I don't know where I am or what I'm doing anymore. What I do know is that this list is most likely final. It was made long after the end of the SNES' run and well into the time when any freshness of the games was lingering.
So here's the list.
1. Final Fantasy III/VI
2. Chrono Trigger
