- jasnmb, on 01/26/2008, -11/+162When I was a kid I bought the Genesis instead of the SNES just because the SNES version of Mortal Kombat 1 didn't have blood, but the Genesis version did. I'm kicking myself for that decision right now. I missed out on a lot of great SNES games.
- atron3030, on 01/26/2008, -13/+150This article is poorly argued. However, I must agree with his statement, seeing as how Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time.
- AwesomeMonster, on 01/26/2008, -15/+140Snes wins hands down. Nothing has compared since, it's the only console that I consistently have played through almost all my life
- inactive, on 01/26/2008, -8/+120Well of course. It had Super Metroid.
- DonWigler, on 01/26/2008, -6/+105Anyone who has played Chrono Trigger or FFIII/6 already knew what this article has stated.
- inactive, on 01/26/2008, -4/+97Ah, back when games were 20 hours minimum and RPGs were at least twice that.
Oh yeah, and back when companies were SMART and bundled their best selling game (in this case, Super Mario World) instead of intentionally leaving it out to milk people dry. - 1awesomeguy, on 08/19/2008, -6/+98SUPER MARIO WORLD = years of my childhood
- nugx, on 01/26/2008, -6/+82Too true. I once kicked my friend out of my house after a SNES v. Genesis debate got too heated. I was right then, and Digg backs me up now. Booyah!
- Foodeater133, on 01/26/2008, -4/+64Earthbound is such an amazing game.
I wonder why it didn't imediately hit it off in the USA?
Go Ness! - corsairstw, on 01/26/2008, -2/+52And Super Mario World. AND the original Mario Kart and Star Fox.
- LemonHerb, on 01/26/2008, -2/+50Dreamcast had such great potential, too bad it never took off like it should.
- Sphike, on 01/26/2008, -7/+47Chrono Trigger, that is all.
- evil-doer, on 01/26/2008, -5/+43"It could natively play both Atari and Intellivision games with a simple add-on."
natively... with an addon.. you ***** fail. - rsdigi, on 01/26/2008, -1/+38At first i disagreed till i thought about it. Mario Paint is the game that started my career as a graphic artist. So that "game" alone makes it a winner.
- loquedesea, on 01/26/2008, -0/+36you're such an opinion.
- saranagati, on 01/26/2008, -0/+29wasn't there only one zelda for the snes?
- dn11, on 01/26/2008, -0/+28doesn't matter, you can digg it simply for the title - because it is totally accurate. chrono trigger? sure, but how about A Link to the Past, Mario Cart, FF 2-3, Act Raiser, Mario World etc etc etc
- cherwilco, on 01/26/2008, -1/+26this one had nothin to do with scientology until you mentioned it.
- ClarkNoHeart, on 01/26/2008, -2/+27My all-black Sega Sports edition Dreamcast was definitely my favorite console of all.
Crazy Taxi, anyone?
Gabe: "Okay, two guesses who kicks ass at Crazy Taxi. Here's a hint - it's me."
Tycho: "How do you figure? You just drove through two fruit stands and a telephone booth! On the off chance that someone actually gets in the cab, you just take them to the beach!"
Gabe: "What's wrong with the beach?"
Tycho: "He wanted to go to Pizza Hut!"
Gabe: "What are you getting at?" - IndigoMoss, on 01/26/2008, -2/+26Plus eventually all of the old consoles are playable on the PC.
- chingy1788, on 01/26/2008, -9/+32PC Prevails
It is the longest surviving, ever evolving, system with pretty much full backwards compatibility
Its not a console, but its a dang good gaming platform - dpollitt, on 01/26/2008, -2/+25your age clearly shows
- sovietninja, on 01/26/2008, -0/+22Back then, me and my cousin thought hawaiian punch was the ***** and we ended up spilling some inside of his snes, so we went into my uncles room and stole his. he ended up spilling his beer in it that same day, so no one knew we were the ones who originally ***** it up. lol.
- Jenadae, on 01/26/2008, -9/+30Thank you Captain Obvious!
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 01/26/2008, -2/+22SNES FTW! I've been calling it the greatest console of all time for a loooong time now :)
- diggit23, on 01/26/2008, -7/+26Best. Mariokart. Ever.
- justinjacobs, on 01/26/2008, -3/+22I love how any time the SNES is brought up, people are like "OMG CHRONO TRIGGER." Sure, it was a great game, but there were other great games. A lot of people tend to forget about Enix, that little RPG making company that was good before Square swallowed them up. I suggest you take a look at games like Act Raiser, Illusion of Gaia and Brainlord.
- ha1f, on 01/26/2008, -8/+27No *****, it had the original Starfox.
- rosettastoned69, on 01/26/2008, -8/+25Same here...I'm a PC gamer, but if I play a console, it's SNES 90% of the time.
- krabat, on 01/26/2008, -3/+20Correct.
- chingy1788, on 01/26/2008, -0/+16Super Mario RPG, Final fantasy series, Stunt Race FX, Earthbound and many other random stuff
- john2kx, on 01/26/2008, -5/+20... the *****? I mean, that wasn't a bad game by any means, but of all the obscure games, that one?
- samssf, on 01/26/2008, -3/+18lol, when I was a kid, I bought the Genesis instead of the SNES. My friend came over and was teasing and saying that the Genesis sucks and I should have got a SNES. So I used black electrical tape to tape up the inner carton and place it all back into the box... and then told my mom that I got the wrong item and for her to exchange it for an SNES. I was standing there watching as the cashier opened the box only halfway, didn't notice the tape... and let me do the exchange ^__^. She said that they never let people exchange electronics but that they'd do it for me. I was so happy about that, especially when I got Zelda.
- hexydes, on 01/26/2008, -2/+17WELL played, sir!
- sivartrenrag, on 01/26/2008, -1/+15How exactly is it smart to pack in your best selling game?
- darkciti2, on 01/26/2008, -9/+23Nothing will ever replace:
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Select Start - AROZ, on 01/26/2008, -3/+17Donkey Kong Country is in my opinion a classic as well. There were so many hidden items and mini games and secrets the soundtrack was terrific. Zelda a Link to the Past was great too, but my cartridge had the memory issue where a file could disappear after awhile.
- Jenadae, on 01/26/2008, -3/+16ABACABB, its sad i remember that still
- brian1625, on 01/26/2008, -2/+15Works on Digg too.
(Up key, Up key, Down key, Down key, Left key, Right key, Left key, Right key, B, A, then Enter/Return) to expand all comments. - psi0nicgh0st, on 01/26/2008, -2/+14DC was awesome, under appreciated and had lots and lots of awesome games.... why did it have to die!!!!!! its not fair damn it!!!!!!!!!
- wtf00, on 01/26/2008, -6/+18yes... SNES was the *****.. I remember good all days playing DK1 and DK2 with my cousin, and playing other goodies... I'm going order a SNES on ebay with DK1 and DK2 to see how feel to play those game again...
- rosettastoned69, on 01/26/2008, -10/+22I still have my SNES, in great condition, from Christmas 1992. By far my favorite console system! So many great games!
Super Metroid, Turtles in Time, All Stars, Super Mario World, The Zeldas, Yoshi's Island...those were my favorites.
But screw that Jurassic Park game with no save points. That game would have been cool if I didn't have to leave the damn console on all the time. - chingy1788, on 01/26/2008, -0/+11no we don't count modding
- KamikazeeDriver, on 01/26/2008, -0/+11I dugg your comment because of DreamCast. Ultimately, I still believe the SNES was the greatest of all time, but the DC came into a close 2nd.
DC was the ***** though, I loved mine passionately. But, still it's barely beaten by the SNES . . . . barely. SEGA needs to retake the market with a DC2. Price it between the Wii and the PS3, and make a killing - Dylson, on 01/26/2008, -8/+19Agreed. I'd take a PC over a game console any day.
- random19, on 01/26/2008, -0/+11Secret of Mana. Chrono Trigger. Link to the Past. Star Ocean. Street Fighter II. Turtles in Time. Super Mario World. Mario Kart.
I could go on... - Christerray, on 01/26/2008, -0/+11When I was a kid, it sure as hell was.
- Smwbigboss, on 01/26/2008, -3/+13The PS2 wasn't groundbreaking at all. It had marginally better graphics than the Dreamcast, and pretty much the same exact controller from the PS1 (except for analog sticks and rumble taken from the N64)
- Gir53457, on 01/26/2008, -1/+11Actually I support this comment. Most name the NES or the SNES as the greatest consoles ever because of the Nostalgia factor. Sure I had fun too with Chrono Trigger, Mario World and Star Fox as much as everyone else here did; but I rank the N64 as the highest because of the sheer amount of fun I had with it was tenfold than I did with the SNES; mostly because I never actually owned an SNES and only played it at my neighbors house after school. I put in countless hours into Mario 64, Waverace, NFL Blitz, Banjo Kazooie/tooie, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Starfox 64 and practically every game blockbuster ever had in stock to rent.
- AROZ, on 01/26/2008, -2/+12Why is this getting dugg down? It must be the non-SMW fanboys...
