FF2 (IV) is still my favorite!
1 of 1 found this helpful Huge FF Fan since the NES, FF2 (IV) has been my fav of the series since '92 and is rivaled by few since. Graphics are serviceable for the SNES as an earlier title, but that's not why to play. Summons do look good,but this is 2nd only to Chrono Trigger for me in storyline and nusic which both set the bar. It reels you in like a good book that you don't want to put down. Many classic FF elements began here. Other versions are availble that have more battle features (JP, DS, and PSP), but the SNES still delivers a high quality game not worth missing if you are a fan of the console. It really all started here. It can be beat in around 12 hours, but you can get 40 or 50 if you're a thorough treasure hunter. If you like RPGs, you'll love this gem.

Super Mario Kart (Super Nintendo, 1992)
1 of 1 found this helpful Possibly the best 2 player game ever, and the best in the series, the original Super Mario Kart has it all. The music is catchy and fun (Nintendo's specialty), there are plenty of different types of terrain to deal with, lots of shortcuts, and you can whack the person in front of you with a shell! Even if it was Battle Mode only it would be worth having. The gameplay and handling are solid, and once you master the slide turn you can really fly around the track at 150CC. The tracks aren't overly huge so there's no escaping other racers like some of the newer follow ups. The action is non-stop, and can be very competetive while still being enjoyable for the novice, but there are some subtleties to the game that can give you an edge like that your top speed increases at every increment of 10 coins. You can also do Time Trial to test your skills, or go head to head against a friend in a Match Race. After nearly 20 years this instant classic hasn't lost its appeal.
