Actually, I do have Four Swords Adventures. I forgot. I knew I'd forget one. I also have the Link to the Past/Four Swords on GBA.

I wish I had Turtles in Time. I love that game. I have 1 and 2:The Arcade Game on NES.

Crono, if you haven't, try the two Oracle games for Zelda. Those are great ones, I thought they'd be somewhat average but they were actually quite awesome. I eBay'd Zelda II in the summer, that was one of the last ones for my collection. I worked on beating it...and good god is it hard. Mostly because you gotta start aaaall the way in the beginning each time. Same with Final Fantasy I on NES, damn can it get rough.

I would totally get a hold of the Oracle games if I could. I have Link's Awakening as well, but I'd like to get the DX version. Mmm color.

I have The Hyperzone Hiest on Genesis and Turtles 2 on NES. When I get around to building my arcade box, I'll definitly have the ARCADE versions of 2 and Turtles in Time on there. With X-Men, the Simpsons, Moonwalker, and many other awesome games. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I've found unopened copies of Zelda 1 and 2 on ebay for like $20. But I always find them when I have no money <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif"> (Like to get my hands on Panzer Dragoon Saga too ... when people get out of the habit of charging $200)

Final Fantasy 1 IS hard. Jesus. I'd rather play Dawn of Souls though, so I have a better idea of what's going on while I'm playing. Sadly, that'd probably make the game easier.

Battletoads was cool, River City Ransom was better. Oh man, I <3 that game.


Another good RPG series is Dragon Warrior (Quest, outside the US) on the NES, I thought 2 was the best.



Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Battletoads is tough. I got through maybe 1/2 or 2/3 of the game when I was young. Don't own it so I haven't tried to get further. And it's not the same on an emulator.

Dawn of Souls is good for some things, but it's so far from the difficulty of the original.

Haha, I saw moonwalker for the first time last year. Man is it funny. I'm thinking of making a big MAME machine myself one day. I loved Simpsons, I was never a big arcade person, but I think if you added it up that game ate my quarters the most. I also want to aquire the Killer Instinct arcade machine. I eBayed the SNES one brand new last week, it felt like a sin opening the seal. But I forgot the thrill of opening one of the old carts. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

as far as zelda, i would have to say ocarina is the best ive played but i never did play wind waker/ majora's mask was a real dissapointment for me after ocarina
and im still trying to get my hands on masterquest for 64

at the time im looking for some good snes rpgs other than secret of mana (one of my all time fav's) if anyone has some good recomendations i would appreciate it and im hoping to find some that arent turn-based

speaking of secret of mana has anyone played seiken densetsu 3, i think thats how you spell it, its secret of mana 2 basically

So then it's a tie between Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, is it?

Chrono Trigger!! (The PSX version is just ruined by the cinematic)

Final Fantasy II and III are very good (Also known as IV and VI)

I don't think you need any other RPGs for the SNES. Those three and Secret of Mana are the best of the best. (There's others, I just can't think of them)

Oh yeah, Star Ocean, except that's only in Japanese, unless you find a translated rom.

Like I said, Ocarina of Time has the best executed plot. Even if Link to the Past is more fun to just pick up and play.

Master's Quest is okay. It's just Ocarina of Time with some changes. Nothing spectacular. WindWaker isn't Zelda. Let's just leave it at that. (Good game nonetheless though)

Also, on the Mario 3 and World being tied. I would agree they're the best Mario games. I would have chosen World if it was more difficult and longer (Or if it was included in AllStars, I would have selected that). Still wondering what else is in the game. I could only ever get 96% complete. I know some people were saying stuff like "Move this way on the world map here and islands come up in the ocean" or something like that. But, not too sure if I believe them, since most people don't have proof ... like screen-shots.

I have another one: Best Contra game. image

(Japanese version of 3. Because it's the same as Alien Wars, except you get other characters ... Like a bad ass robot, that sits under EVERYONEs gun fire. Check out the Rom of it.)

Hmm, seems after I look at my love for Nintendo games, I automatically start looking at Konami.

Gorb, something else I'd have on my MAME box would be Metal Slug. All of them, of course. Probably Galaga and Raiden .... AreoFighters, Mars Matrix ... Some Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Die Hard Arcade. If I could build duel joysticks and stuff, I'd put Virtual On in too.



Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

My Allstars cart has SMW in it. So there technically is a version like you'd want.

Yeah, MKII is the shiz. Nothing like doing the ballbreaker and getting that "Whoopsie" dude to pop out.

As for Super Mario World I think 96 was the final score, it's not a % so far as I remember, it's just the amount of paths or whatever. The are like 2 paths in the last world that I don't know off-hand and always forget. They're basically useless but I should really look them up.

It says "%" on mine. And, I went through all the paths I could, Beat all the levels "both" ways. I heard on certain levels you can find other paths by beating levels in a certain amount of time. Of course, I remember one level, you had to "dip" under the normal finish point to get to the other finish point, which didn't exist unless you did it in a certain amount of time. There might be more like that. Not sure though. But it does say percent, cause mine says like "96.6%", I remember it's point something.

That's not fair that you get World in All Stars. That's not f**king fair at all! <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_cry.gif">

I wonder if that'd work on my SNES ... get me a Canadian version.

I think the normal version of MK3 is my favorite, because of combos and run ... oh man, Run. What a blessing. I hate that they changed the command style of that series. But I like 2 too. I really can't play 1 anymore, it's just bad. 4 is worse.

Anyway. That's still not fair.

I had 100% of Super Mario World completed, like way back about 11 years ago. And that was completely on my own w/o any hints, strategy guides, or internet...

...Those were the days.

I haven't played any of the originals, but the Xbox Ninja Gaiden was awesome. No other roaming figher like it has such a huge variety of moves and such challenging and exciting combat <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/love.gif">
