First time I played S. Metroid I had to cheat to get out of that pit you're supposed to wall-jump out of. The wall-jumping is the weakest part of the game in my opinion.

Sometimes I go to this zen place with walljumping and can scale enormous heights effortlessly, and sometimes I lose it and just flail against the walls. It's weird.

Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma are like the triumvirate of why I think the Seiken Densetsu series ain't actually so hot. All of them are must-plays in my book, though it's been a long time since I was able to get anywhere in SB I think. I still remember staying up late in the WUTK office where I had my Mac 8500 plugged into the campus network, playing all those games on an emulator and listening to ATCQ's "The Love Movement" on repeat!

TOMBOT, Wednesday, 19 October 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

All the games in the SB/IoG/Terranigma series bug me out something fierce and I don't know why.

I like when you eat your pet pig in Illusion of Gaia. Also, I still have and unfortunately wear my pack-in Illusion of Gaia t-Shirt.

when i got spin attack my walljumping went all to hell. now along with yoshi's island i'm playing tetris attack a bunch. can't get past stage 4. my combo skillz are weak. beat the "easy" vs. computer tho.

think i'll get a gameboy emu just for yoshi's egg. i played that game all the time.

Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 20 October 2005 02:05 (twenty years ago)

Is that the same game as "Mario and Yoshi" over here, where you've got stars, mushrooms and flowers coming down from the top of the screen and you've got to trap them between halves of eggs? If so, brilliant game!

where does this auper-archive of snes roms exist and could somebody YSI it for me?

TOMBOT, Sunday, 30 October 2005 19:37 (twenty years ago)

"auper" duhhhhhh

Itoi has joked on his blog, which covers numerous lovely topics, and very rarely mentions videogames, that he'd like to see Mother 3 receive a limited release on Super Famicom as well.

c7n (Cozen), Sunday, 30 October 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)

i cant believe that snes collection. how much longer before theres a 10 terabyte ps archive?

unconscious, honey (FE7), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...
I can't believe that trying to get snes roms is even MORE retarded than it was 4 years ago.

SO MUCH FARMING OF COCK going on. Enough to make a sequel to "Harvest Moon" from it.

GODDAMMIT I JUST WANT A ROM OF EARTHBOUND IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD

in other news, i found my four-year-old savestates from the last time I played Chrono Trigger. Should I beat the rest of the game, or start over from the beginning?

kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Saturday, 19 November 2005 19:43 (twenty years ago)

p2p rather than actual emulation sites seems to work a lot lot better for me for finding single roms. I have earthbound rom somewhere if yr still looking it i cld YSI or e-mail

I would play Harvest Cock.

Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 20 November 2005 03:18 (twenty years ago)

I'm pretty sure the Japanese will have made a game that involves Cock Harvesting.

THIS IS THE SOUND OF ALTERN 8 !!! (noodle vague), Sunday, 20 November 2005 12:48 (twenty years ago)

Super Mario Kart
Yoshi's Island

Ogre Battle: March Of The Black Queen

Or at least it's got a rep, and I'd check it out, if I was like some of you people and had time to do things like that

(NB I did get to the second pendant in Link To The Past GBA version, yesterday during pauses in the football games)

TOMBOT, Monday, 21 November 2005 14:36 (twenty years ago)

I mean seriously how can you NOT want to check out Ogre Battle:

Your soldiers consist of knights, wizards, healers, bird men, gladiators, beast men, dragons, undead creatures, giants, angels, demons, and more[!!!?!?!?] . You put together units of five and send them across a huge map to liberate towns and combat enemies.

TOMBOT, Monday, 21 November 2005 17:06 (twenty years ago)

two years pass...

contender for best thing that happened to me this weekend:

i was walking down the street in milwaukee, and what do i see but a PILE OF SNES GAMES on the curb. not terrible games either! i grabbed donkey kong country (never played it before) and f-zero.

when i was walking away, a middle-aged dude with a white mustache and biker jacket was walking the other way, and he says, "oh, i put those there, you can have them." !!!

Jordan, Monday, 7 April 2008 14:41 (eighteen years ago)

should i have taken donkey kong 3 too?

Jordan, Monday, 7 April 2008 14:41 (eighteen years ago)

the donkey kong country games are amazing. almost mario-level. yes you shoulda if it's dkc3 you're talking about.

s1ocki, Monday, 7 April 2008 16:39 (eighteen years ago)

i don't know why i wasn't more greedy. like i was leaving some for the next nerdy twenty-something who walked by.

i started playing dkc1 last night and it is indeed some great shit.

Jordan, Monday, 7 April 2008 16:56 (eighteen years ago)

can't believe a snes game exists that is named after not one but TWO queen songs! must play!

r1o natsume, Monday, 7 April 2008 17:17 (eighteen years ago)

ogre battle is really hard. tactics ogre, fft, and vagrant story (the creator Yasumi Matsunoare's other games) are all better.

Imagine my surprise years later when I figured this out! (Became a Queen fan later) Man, I love Queen II.

That game was kinda mindblowing to appear on the SNES at the time, since there weren't that many strategy titles on consoles in general, AND this game didn't exactly have a huge print run. Also the music in the game is fantastic. But the game itself is ridiculously hard as balls, unforgiving and each map takes ages to play. I tried to get through this game probably half a dozen times, I wanted so much to be able to love it.

five months pass...

haha okay so friends and i were walking back from the bar last week and someone had left a BIG SCREEN TEEVEE on the curb. so we hauled it back to my friend's place and set it up in his backyard and while the picture is pretty poor it still works and so we hooked up an SNES to it.

so can u guyz recommend to me some awesome SNES games that use the multitap? so far we've got Secret of Mana and Super Bomberman 2 and Peace Keepers.

or in the Old Tounge, (Lamp), Tuesday, 16 September 2008 16:01 (seventeen years ago)

NHL 94 and any Bomberman are exactly what you need

can anyone recommend a decent usb or bluetooth snes controller that'll work on a mac?

amit, Sunday, 15 November 2009 16:35 (sixteen years ago)

I wish I could. Whatever you do, don't impulse buy a $19.99 controller at Wal-Mart or something. I did that TWICE, and both times the controllers had horrible problems with lag (making any game based on reflexes - AKA 90% of the SNES catalog - worthless) and the analog stick.

The fact that you're making an effort to research this a little before purchasing probably means you'll fare better than I did, though!

nearly one-third of a man (Z S), Sunday, 15 November 2009 16:44 (sixteen years ago)

got Secret Of Mana in the post yesterday. have never played it before, so i guess it's time to see if it matches up to the hype!

I played the hell out of ogre battle btw

like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Monday, 6 July 2015 23:50 (ten years ago)

I downloaded a snes emulator yesterday. It has been too long since I've relived old games. Youtube has rekindled my childhood. Mostly I watch rom hack videos. Speaking of which, these two videos I found today are enlightening:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh0Qb0My6fQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8z-gD1vmmE

I would like to have something like that Cory, but maybe just a SNES usb controller so I don't have to buy games. If I did want to buy games I would like to try one of those new spangled consoles that combines old systems like Retro Freak.

The Once-ler, Tuesday, 7 July 2015 19:58 (ten years ago)

Oh man. I'm going to have to get a USB controller and an emulator. SNES was the last console I really owned but I loved it. Super Metroid, DKC, Mario Kart, Yoshis Island - they were my childhood

cod latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 20:16 (ten years ago)

i got them years ago and play occasionally on my mac via openemu. it's rad.
