Brilliant system (liked more than the Mega Drive) and I think in the 16 bit days NCL and Konami were almost untouchable there were so good and their games so far out in front . Castlevania IV, Mario IV, Super Metroid, Pioltwings, F-Zero, Prince of Persia, Axleay, Contra III (mind blowing at the time ) Mystical Ninja, Super R-Type, SF II were my fav Snes games
All kudos for the Super NES giving us one of the best videogames magazines ever, namely Super Play. We're all used to seeing Japanese-style artwork everywhere these days, but back then SP was so striking and unique looking. It also helped that SP was written about people who knew and cared about videogames.

During its prime, it seemed like the Super NES/SFC got a new genre defining wondergame every month or so.

who opted for the US breeze block?...
I got the US version with super mario world think it cost about £340 I still have the MeanMachines magazine with the advert from where I bought it... I didn't even know what a scart socket was, which wasn't amusing as I couldn't play it when it arrived.. thankfully my dad sourced a 2nd hand tv with a single scart socket a day later
I couldn't believe my eyes and ears when I fired it up for the first time, to hear the magical music from SMW... it seemed a world apart from my MD & MegaCD which where both swiftly traded in for a few more games...
Still can't believe we coughed up £90 for SFII to say I couldn't wait was an understatement..
I still have a US version along with a stack of games, Mystical Ninja, Axelay, Pilotwings, Mariokart, Zelda, Final Fight and SFII still do it for me to this day, having clocked them all many times..
The 90's for me especially the MD & SNES era where most certainly the golden age of gaming..
Think after gushing about it, i'll go set it up, put on my rose tinted specs and revel in nostalgia

Having seen the DK Returns ad on TV I said to my son 'hey, I've got an older DK game on the SFC. It's one that was made at work before I was there. Shall we put that on instead?'
He seemed quite keen so I dug out Super Donkey Kong 2 (as the Japanese are wont to call it) and stuck it on. I don't think I've ever played it before.
What a steaming pile of ****
The most basic of platformers trying to hide behind so-called revolutionary rendered graphics.
After 10 minutes I couldn't take it anymore so Yoshi's Island went back on.

Wut? The original DKC is a pretty basic game, but DKC2 is stunning! Some of the best level design in any platformer without doubt. I actually finished DKC3 yesterday for the first time ever (103%) and really enjoyed it, got me in the mood for the new Wii version.
I'd put DKC2 higher than Yoshi's Island anyway
