SNES game of the past

:x

Super Bomberman - fantastic game, but pushed into third place by Streetfighter II and Super Mario Kart

where's Ken Masters?

For me:

1 Super Mario Kart
2 Super Mario World
3 Rock and Roll Racing
4 Mortal Kombat II
5 Streetfighter II

I'm the other Ken Masters.

Let's not forget Smash Tennis either, or Super Probotector for that matter... and how could I forget PilotWings?

Bought a Nintendo 64 years back, was planning to sell it recently but ebay sale prices are terrible so decided to plug the thing in for a week or two.
Got some of the games mentioned here and they are still as good as I remembered.

project 64 for pc and freely available roms :)

have a snes emulator on my old xbox. still play street fighter 2 and mario kart comps against friends for money. great fun after a few drinks. still great after all this time. super mario world is still brillant as well.
4 player goldeneye on the n64 is also still superb

striker

pilotwings anyone???

read the thread bandit ;)

Your point being alex???


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilotwings

Point being I already mentioned it!

Well there you go Alez, great minds think alike ;-)

Just what I was thinking :)

were you thinking Super Ghouls N Ghosts though, god they games were bloody hard!

That was NAILS. Nigh on impossible imho. I enjoyed Top Gear (the game, with the nitros) too.

castlevania was good but super mario cart my fav.

Some cracking games and memories here! Was "working late" on many evenings that were taken up playing Mario Kart, Bomberman or SF2!!

Jamesdean - thanks for mentioning Striker. Still one of the best games on my CV even 16 years later :D

dk1986 very close to the same as mine, tho can't be having Mortal Kombat personally.

My faves have already all been mentioned:
Bomberman
Mario Kart
Mario World
Rock & Roll Racing
SFII
Striker
Castlevania
Super Soccer & Super Tennis were a good laugh, if not great.
Probotector / Contra

Other good games not mentioned that I enjoyed:
F-Zero
Sensible Soccer
Desert Strike
Shadowrun
R-Type
Zombies Ate My Neighbours
Donkey Kong Country

Great console and some classic titles :-) Time to get onto eBay and buy up a few of those again!!

forgot shadowrun , another good shout

Forgot about Striker. Why the long passwords to save games?! :0

Just remembered Micro Machines as well. How cool was 'Dwayne'? :)

2smiggy is shrewd.

The Legend of Zelda : A link to the past

nuff said.

Unirally was excellent... anyone not played, you missed out

Pilotwings :D

Starwing :D

dk - long passwords was a result of costs. The cost of adding a save game to a SNES cartridge was pretty pricey. Elite were very much a small publisher, so took the option of keeping the costs down by using passwords. You had to buy your stock up front from Nintendo, so if they'd piled in and the game had been a flop would have added to the losses. Hence most games from smaller publishers typically didn't have save slots unless essential.

There endeth the lesson in mid 1990's game publishing :D

zelda still a great game once you spend a half an hour at it and get back into the swing of it. ghouls N ghosts is a very hard game, almost tear your hair out hard.
if you can pick up an old chipped xbox , it comes with emulators for geneisis, snes, neogeo, n64 , mame and a few more that i cannot remember off the top of my head. comes with a large volume of games preinstalled, but not for mame. but games are easy to add for any emulator.

Remember on Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts that you had to complete the game twice - they sent you back to the start the 1st time you completed for some bracelet

UniRally. Jeez, I'd forgotten all about that one. Cracking game that.

What was the game where you could punch people while racing. It was a driving game, similar in style to Mario Kart but the L + R buttons unleashed a tasty move to which ever ** was immediately to the side. There were a choice of characters I believe.

I want to say Street Racer was it's name. Whatever it was, it was great!

it was indeed street racer, not a bad game either

Road Rash??

Mind you that was Megadrive I think. Soz. :-(

This thread has inspired me to dig out the SNES from the loft this weekend :). Other games I remember :

Actraiser, Axelay, Chrono Trigger, Legend Of The Mystical Ninja (Nb), NBA Jam, F-1 Exhaust Heat, Parodius, Prince Of Persia, Super R-Type, Secret Of Mana, Super Star Wars, Super Off Road, Super Aleste, Tiny Toon Adventures, UN Squadron, Yoshi's Island (Nap)

Some good shouts there Deep Impact!

I think I may have to do the same :-)

Thanks for that Bradders. That's some good knowledge. :)

Remember Striker passwords were in the form of an 8x8 (IIRC) grid, with all sorts of letters and numbers. Took a few minutes to type it in, at which point you'd discover you'd written it down wrong or it didn't recognise it. Mind my Striker was second-hand so who knows if it had a bug.

If there's one thing I know though, it's that I loved stuffing U.A.E and Malta with the big European boys. :D

Napping Yoshi's Island :^0 Invite me round Deep Impact :^0

:D Ha ha NBA Jam!!! Little Bogues was about two foot shorter than the rest of them. Loved the flames. Anyone remember the magazines Super Action & Super Control?

can anyone remember smash tv ? .....rock hard futuristic gameshow shoot em up.gameshow host used the phrases "BIG MONEY!!....BIG PRIZES!!" and "I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!"

I remember it well. Similar in many ways to the old Midway (or was it Williams) coin-op game Robotron.

Super Mario World and Mario Kart were my faves at the time,i used to be able to complete Ghouls and Ghosts on one life so it can't have been that hard.

Check you out, Johnny Golden Joystick :)

:0 is it possible to put a snes emulator on my XBOX 360? If so I am about to ruin christmas for my family :^0

Sadly, not that I'm aware of! Certainly nothing legit.

You could always buy a Wii, classic controller, hook up to the Virtual Console and get downloading old games for LOADS of different consoles. Not quite the same as it costs money rather than just running the ROMs.

But I've just taken a look at the list... Pretty much all the classics!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_(PAL_region)

getting a wii this christmas, could be in business!

I hadn't realised quite how many of my old faves were on there. Looks like I'll be signing up to their online stuff over Xmas :D
