Favorite 16-bit games

[Gino]

...not to brag, but there was a very good reason I was named God in NHL 94....me and the guy who taught me to play my freshman year in the dorms weren't allowed to play in the dorm (400 plus guys) tournament because we were unstoppable, ten goals a period was standard, 15 if I was allowed to use Chicago with Roenick or Vancover with Bure.

Remeber "the move"? You could score everytime with that little juke! One timers were still the best, god I miss that game, I gotta dig one of my old Genesis's out of moth balls and go to Echo and buy that game again! After 94 I didn't like how they changed the skating motion, 94 you couldn't just turn on a dime, it was much more realistic. The newer versions seem to have gone back to that a bit the past few years!

Man...now I am going to have that game in my head the rest of the day!

Oh I know the move Drizzle. I mastered it. I was always better with left handed guys you come in a an anglefrom the left to the right, then quickly switch to left and shoot.

My favorite of all time was probably Fantasy Star II. Logged many hours on that game. I remember buying the first madden game and everyone was just blown away.

Loved the Mario games. I remember when I was four years old and in the hospital for arrhythmia and we were able to get a TV with a NES in our room and I remember trying to play with an IV in my hand. I couldn't do it so I had my mom control the control pad while I pressed the jump/fireball button.

The only Final Fantasy game I ever played was Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. I remember playing that when I was five and fell in love with RPGs since. That was a good game (I didn't know anything about FF series at the time) despite being the "dark horse" in that series. I loved it!

One of the best games I've ever played was Super Mario World for the SNES. That and Mario 64 are up in my top games list.

Other games I remember are Stunt Race FX, a pretty cool racing game, Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball, a game that I still play occasionally at my grandparents house (I demanded that they do not get rid of their SNES when they had a yard sale 2 years ago). There was Vegas Stakes, a gambling game, the Super Star Wars games (which I could never beat!) and the Madden games.

I loved Madden '94, that was the first one I could remember playing. Madden '96 was cooler because it had Fox's presentation (it actually blows the current Madden's "presentation" out of the water) but '94 will be remembered because it was the first one I played. That was actually my Dad's birthday present on his 30th birthday from his step-father. We had a fun time with that game.


So many great games, and no, they definitely do NOT make them like they used to. Of newer games I've played (say, starting in 2000), the only games that come close to being immortal are the first Neverwinter Nights (great RPG), KotOR, and Portal.

What are some of your all time favorite games from Genesis and Super Nintendo. This is kind of a loaded question. I recently got my psp hacked with those emulators. So now I'm trying to get a solid library of 16-bit classics.

(any) Final Fantasy on NES (although 3 was my favorite)
Phantasy Star on Sega Master System

I loved that game, forgot about it . That guy on youtube didn't really have a good strategy. I played the shit out of that game.


i also like Toe Jam and Earl. But it got pretty difficult at times.
