I've got a good one. I went to an art high school, my major being the visual arts. When we reached grade 13, the program was entirely self directed. We got our own empty classroom with which to produce our thesis projects for the year. I remember entering our workspace on the first day of school, and tucked away in a corner was an old tv, and better yet, an SNES. Needless to say I spent that year playing way too much street fighter 2 turbo haha. The profs eventually got wind of the fact that no one was doing any work, so they barred access to the room. Anyway, I associate SF2T and a bunch of other snes games with that special space we had for a brief time.

So many great games. A new Gunstar Heroes would be rad, I'd even settle for a Switch port of Gunstar Super Heroes.

Nice! I really can't get enough of these 90s beat em ups.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I actually never played the Alien Resurrection game, but you could say the film is a guilty pleasure of mine. I think it's better than Alien 3 not gonna lie.

Maybe it ain't the best port, but Night Slashers is still one of the best beat em ups on the system. Curious how the upcoming remake will turn out.

Ah I picked up the 3ds version of Steel Empire back in the day, it really is an excellent shmup. Probably one of my all time favourites actually, due to it's unique aesthetic.

Developing an Akira game that actually does the source material justice seems like a tall order...A combat racing game where you play as the various biker gangs would've been cool tho.

Was the super nintendo the Shogun?

Was not aware of this, I only ever played the snes versions of SF2. Well I ain't about to start using it now, I don't need such exploits to defeat my opponents;)

I feel old. Well, older heh.

Great game, I love the haunting atmosphere as you traverse the abandoned palace. I actually like the two sequels as well, they really improved upon the combat side of things.

Loved reading the comics as a kid, even though some of the humour went over my head at the time.

I had known about this game for a long time, but only got to play it when it released on the wii virtual console. It has since become my favourite of the classic style castlevanias, super Castlevania 4 being a close second.

This article set my soul wandering for an eternity.

It sure is purdy.

The original snes games aren't the best, but this look like it could be decent. I don't mind the polygonal graphics, almost reminds me of Dynamite Cop on dreamcast.

Ahh, always wanted to play Cadash. That and Legendary Axe.

@bippity_bop I think Area 51 was the most ubiquitous light gun game back in the day, at least in my region. It was literally everywhere. That and Cruisin' USA, was pretty much standard in any arcade/movie theatre/bar.

I still play House of the Dead 2,3 and Overkill every October on my old Wii.

Great game, I played it a ton back in the day. Sadly I no longer have my copy, but I picked up the sequel for like 10 bucks at a used game shop that was closing down and getting rid of their inventory.

Ah Legend, I actually have an original Snes cart. It's honestly pretty mediocre. It's plays like a worse version of King of Dragons. It's also hard as balls, I've never seen the end.

McDonald's has kinda disappeared in my city. They used to be everywhere, but now I couldn't tell you where to find one. It's all Popeyes chicken and the occasional A&W now. Clearly the tide has turned in the ongoing fast food wars.

Ah I was playing on my Zelda game and watch just the other day.

@-wc- Yeah, while I enjoy the GBA castlevanias, SotN will always be king in my eyes. Have you played Rondo of Blood? It's my fav of the older style vanias. Actually it's probably tied with 4.

Not operational? So it amounts to a rare and expensive paper weight then.

Been awhile but I came up with a pretty fool proof system for getting past those spikes. I just timed it right and ran up the far left side of the ramp.

I remember being incredibly disappointed by this game back in the day. Being the naive child I was, I went in expecting a super mario world style platformer, and the game had the audacity to try and educate me! How dare it.

I think it's likely I sunk more hours into mariokart wii than any other, my sister and I played a ton back in the day. It's hard to say tho, the runners up would be MK64 and MK8.

Ah now it's coming out on my birthday, neat.

OMG, I had completely forgotten about this cartoon until now. Hilarious it's based on one of the raunchiest, most violent movies out there.

Awesome mech game. Don' think I ever beat it though, it gets pretty tough towards the latter stages.

I would add The Ninja Saviors and Night Slashers, otherwise, pretty solid list.

Oh yeah, this guy's got some crazy skills. His work definitely elevated the Prime games.

As a visual artist myself, I watched one of his tutorials years ago. Unfortunately it wasn't very helpful for me personally. He had a strange process involving building up layers of shapes and textures, until you find your image within. Certainly interesting, but not at all how my brain works when it comes to drawing.

Haha, it does look staged tho. His pose, and his expression, it's like his mom walked in on him doing...something else.

Besides Rondo of Blood, I think Lords of Thunder is my fav tg-16 game. It's metal af.

@RootsGenoa I hear you regarding Magician Lord, I've never liked it. Unattractive visuals, and stiff, slow character movement, not to mention unforgiving difficulty. Cool premise, just poor execution.

I've been wanting to play Nightmare in the Dark for the longest time now, but it inexplicably still hasn't been ported to Switch along with nearly ever other game on this list. Ah well, there's always emulation I suppose.

I'm very interested in this, but seems way too much for what is likely a very short old arcade game. It's gonna be like 45 bucks with tax here in Canada. That's almost as much as Capcom Arcade Stadium.

If it's ever ported to Switch I'll get it.

I'd be impressed if he was still rocking that mull.

I never grew up with this show, as I live in Canada. But I do have fond memories of watching Video and Arcade Top Ten on YTV back in the day.

Between this, Super Castlevania and Rondo of Blood I think Bloodlines is the toughest. At least it's given me the most trouble out of the three.

I would love a new Shining Force on Switch. I discovered Shining Force 2 on the wii VC a few years back, (never had a Genesis growing up), and it has quickly become one of my fav RPGs.

This actually looks really cool, shame it never saw release. I stilll have a dreamcast I picked up used circa 2003. I occasionally bust it out to play Zombie's Revenge, Dynamite Cop, or MvC2.
