Or perhaps you’ve been with us since the very beginning, your thumbs still bearing the callouses of fevered tapping from the arcade machines of yore, as you tried to beat your friends at Mortal Kombat, were thwarted by the rogue aliens of Space Invaders, or spent all your coins on the almost legendary The Simpsons: The Arcade Game.

Let’s discuss what made Super Mario World so good. This Nintendo classic is one of the best 2D games of its generation.
It was imaginative, great controls and fun. Definition of a great game. What else is there to say?
The end.
I love this game. Got the SNES bundle of Christmas of 1992 I think. I wanted the Genesis with Sonic 2 but this was just as good at the time. This was a huge jump from the nes Mario's and I didn't think it could get batter than Mario 3. The addition to Different Yoshi's added amazing gameplay.
It was magical. Coming from Super Mario 3, this game felt glorious with its graphics, colors and music. A masterpiece.
Jessica Mullane for SUPERJUMP: "a style of gameplay that is intentionally meant to be frustratingly difficult. Don't expect to master anything in a day or even a month"
In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.
It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!
Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
didnt beat zelda or ff7 (played the first zelda), havent played skyrim yet, havent played chonotrigger (playing chrono cross atm), and havent played HL2 or dark souls... lol.
house of dead2 was epic, but should easily be replaced by resident evil2.
super mario world is a tie with mario64, either or.
i think goldeneye deserves a spot.
good list tho.
Need to add last of us.
played most of them and there is a better games you didn't mention like Batman AC.
