Video Game Lane: Super Nintendo

The system I didn't get until college, but played many a times at friends houses growing up. Here's my favorites for the SNES....












Donkey Kong Country: It's Donkey Kong in a two player side-scroller. Gold. Monkeys never get old.












Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts: The music, the weapons, the gameplay. Gold. Hated being turned into a old man or chicken from the treasure chest. Was extremely hard- but definitely worth it. Thanks Capcom.












Mortal Kombat 3:
The first fighting game with blood and gore. Great! Always a bonus to see if you could pull off the fatalities, friendships, and specials. TOASTY!!












NBA JAM: Unrealistic dunking skills aside, this game was a blast. Every player moved like the Flash and could engulf the ball in flames. Go Milwaukee!!!












Super Punch-Out!!:
A tribute to the classic. Sadly, no Mario referee. Or Mike Tyson. Well, that's okay though....












Super Street Fighter 2: Finally! New characters- the indian, the jamaican, the bruce lee knockoff, and Cammy- the british babe. Gold.












Battletoads and Double Dragon: Best team-up in a video game ever! Plus, it had those speeder bikes from the original Battletoads. This time I could actually beat the level....












TMNT 4: Turtles in Time: A near perfect translation of the arcade game. Flinging the Foot Soldiers at the screen was an added bonus. Turtle Power!!












Super Mario All-Stars: Holy crap. EVERY Mario game including the 'Lost Levels' (Mario 2 in Japan) on one cartridge?? INSANE! This needs to be on the Virtual Console- NOW.












Super Mario World: Best launch game ever. Yoshi was a nice bonus which didn't take away from the classic Mario formula. Gold. Just like the box says.


That's it for SNES- the sytem I originally wanted instead of the Genesis. But as you can see from my later posts- it still held up.
