Add to the list:

Super Castlevania IV
A Link to the Past
Final Fantasy II (or IV, whatever)
Final Fantasy III (VI)
Yoshi's Island

EDIT: Also, the Donkey Kong Country games.
And Lufia II. Plenty of stuff to choose from here.

Secret of Mana is better than Secret of Evermore, but Evermore wasn't the sequel. SoM:2 was only released in Japan, I think.

You are joking right? You can have the opinion that Secret of Mana is a better game, but dont say Secret of Mana is a top 3 of all time like its some sort of fact. Chrono Trigger or FF6 is known as the best RPG on the SNES; depending who you ask.

You can read any compilation of top games of all time or top RPG of all time and Chrono Trigger will always be ranked WAY higher then Secret of Mana. In fact, Im not sure I ever seen Secret of Mana on a list of top games. Even on SNES rom/cartridge download sites, Chrono Trigger is downloaded more then Secret of Mana easily.

you can't be serious. Evermore was piss poor.

I can't really narrow it to one, but my top 5 are easily FF2, FF3, Zelda 3, CT and Secret of Mana

Final Fantasy III
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Final Fantasy II
All the Super Mario games
Street Figter 2 Turbo

All of these have already been mentioned. Two other great games in the RPG genre are:

Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals
Ogre Battle

The first is a turn-based game in the Final Fantasy mold that has excellent character development and side quests within the game, including a 99 level dungeon that is nearly impossible to conquer. Ogre Battle is almost a tactical game of Risk with armies (groups) and a good/evil ranking system. It is an unknown gem.

Also Secret of Mana is far superior to Secret of Evermore.

12-22-2005, 11:21 PM

Forgot to mention Tales of Phantasia (only released in Japan). Easily as good if not better than FFIII or Chrono Trigger.

Top 3 in no order:
Chrono Trigger (my favorite)
FF3 (FF6)
Star Ocean (never translated but you can get translated rom, possibly best made SNES game ever)

Honorable mention:
Lufia 2
Secret of Mana/Evermore
Terranigma
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario World 1 and Yoshi's Island
Super Mario RPG (awesome game)
Super Punch-Out
Super Metroid
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Killer Instinct
Donkey Kong Country 1,2,3
Earthbound
Legend of Zelda
Maybe Romancing Saga 3 as well.
I'm sure I am forgetting some other good ones.

As for the guy saying Secret of Mana > Chrono Trigger, you need to put the crack pipe down. Mana was a great game, Chrono Trigger was legendary.

I think the SNES was the best console of all time. F*ck PS,PS2,PS17, XBOX360 ,XBOX1080, and GameHectagon, its all trash compared to SNES.

I played it for the first time last week on my girlfriend's SNES (which she has precisely one game for). It was tough to get used to, and I still really suck at it, but I gues it's possible to get really good.

question: does anyone remember the name of the game 2D that looked like Prince of Persia or Blackthorne but the graphics were all made from polygons.

The story involved something about u being a human waking up on an Alien world or something. This was so long ago.

Either "Flashback" or "Out of this World". They were both fine games.

It's a hack of Super Mario World, meaning it uses the SMW engine/graphics but with new levels and new worlds etc. 120 exits. Like Stefan says, it's completely awesome and strictly better than Super Mario World, which is my favourite real SNES game (not much experience with the console). It's much much more difficult than SMW, which is great considering the difficulty was SMW's biggest flaw IMO.

SDW is created by some japanese dude I think, and if you google it I don't think it should be difficult to find and play on an emulator. I recommend it.

so I had downloaded a sub huge file that had ever SNES rom a while back and never really dug into it.

OMG...I just started playing the following this morning:
1.Earthbound
2.Super Double Dragon
3.Shadowrun
4.Flashback

and wow. These are truly some good games. Earthbound Ive heard about but the graphics were a huge turn off, but this game seems like its pretty good so far. Also, Super Double Dragon is pretty bad ass, I love that there is a multitude of combos/styles you can fight with (reminds me of the new game The Warriors...also very bad ass).

there was also a pretty good ncaa football game for snes, where the game was an overhead view with the field laid out on a lower-left corner to upper-right corner diagonal. not sure if any football games have gone with that style since, but it played well.

two sleepers.

Metal Warriors - Awesome split-screen side-scrolling mech combat game. Kind of hard to find too.

Metal Combat 2: Falcon's Revenge - Arguably the only Super Scope game that was worth playing! It had a very fun 2-player battle mode where one player used the controller to play as the boss character on screen and the other player used the gun and you unloaded tons of missles at each other.
