Final Fantasy V – SNES
Final Fantasy V has one of the most addicting battle systems in the series. While that alone makes it worth playing, the lack luster plot and bland characters make this a slightly better than average entry in the iconic franchise.
-
Final Fantasy IV – SNES
Final Fantasy IV is safe as far as gameplay, but the story is fast paced and exciting, if not on the dramatic side. If you’re feeling nostalgic, this is the perfect title to pop in.

Earthbound – SNES

-
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars – SNES
Super Mario RPG could’ve turned out so wrong, but the result is so right. With an ingenious blend of classical Mario and RPG elements, this game delivers on all fronts with an awesome story, characters, gameplay, music and graphics. A must play.
-
Mario’s Time Machine – SNES
Mario’s Time Machine, another commonly derided title from Mario’s line of educational games, is a surprisingly honest trip through certain pieces of history. It’s still got that “edutainment” flair that keeps it from entering the pantheon of “real” games, though the experience is more enjoyable than you might think!
-
Super Mario Kart – SNES
The Mario Kart series is one of video gaming’s most popular franchises, and it all started here, with Super Mario Kart. Critics have heaped on loads of superlatives to this initial installment: best SNES graphics, top console game, one of the greatest of all time. However, I am of a slightly different persuasion…

Mario is Missing! – SNES
Mario is Missing!, one of a handful of educational Mario games released in the early 90’s, features Luigi as the main protagonist for the first time in the series. It may not be much of a “game,” but if you’re in the fourth or fifth grade and need to learn a few things about history and geography, there are certainly worse ways to go about it!

Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts – Super Nintendo
Happy Halloween Ghouls ‘n Ghosts. Hmm…Ghouls ‘n Ghosts… SUPER Ghouls ‘n Ghosts! Nerd Bacon’s ZB has endured a lot of hardship to bring you this review, so why don’t you give it a read, just for him, eh?

The Lost Vikings – SNES
It’s time to go back. Way back. Back to a time before all these fancy iPods, Youtube, and even Harry Potter! You’ve got it – 1992. The early years of the fabled 16-bit console war. When a small developer, by the name of Silicon & Synapse (Blizzard) was taking its first step towards greatness: The Lost Vikings. It was an odd game – perhaps one that was overlooked. An action/puzzle game that took you where no viking had gone before. Now it’s time for us to go there ourselves and take a look at this game of old. ZB dons a viking helmet for his review of The Lost Vikings for Super Nintendo.

Donkey Kong Country – Super Nintendo
Even going as far as to award it the Golden Banana of Platforming Excellence, Nerd Bacon reviewer ChronoSloth is definitely a fan of Donkey Kong Country.

Earthworm Jim 2 – SNES
Earthworm Jim was a groundbreaking game in its day that has aged quite well, if I may say. With a unique look, stellar gameplay, and the perfect mix of humor with action elements, Jim was a contender for a new action star. Though his first game was a success, the fall that followed was monumental. And where did all this begin? Why, Earthworm Jim 2! What? Don’t believe me? Liked Earthworm Jim 2? Well then allow Nerd Bacon’s own ZB to break it down for you and explain why the sequel failed to live up to the first installment in the series.
