This was really difficult and I am sure I left some games out. I added an honorable mentions section just because I think it is necessary
As you can see, most of my top games are from the SNES/PS1 era and it's not just nostalgia kicking in. I feel most SNES cames can hold their own today. Their gameplay is better than most games that have been put out in the last five years. Sadly, the new generation of gamers will never experience these games...
