Topic: The Super Play Top 100 SNES games

How can you make a top 100 list and just exclude games released after '95? That's B.S.

@Corbie - I look forward to a list done right. It could serve as inspiration for future SNES Friday reviews too.

Hello genius, because it was made in early 1996 maybe?
sigh (with emphasis)

Well Lufia II's greatness transends time. So that's no exuse.

Note to self: Read all of original post before commenting.

Why do I have the strange sensation that this topic's gonna be locked?

No Mario RPG or Superstar? Whoever made that list must be anti-fun or something like that. Super Mario World and Kart also should be higher than Street Fighter.

...

no RPG or Superstar!? that guy must be taking crack

WHAT???? No Turtles in Time???????????? That's the last straw!

This list must perish!!
[AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! Gets struck down by lightning and turns to Agni]

[List takes 999 HP damage]

OK people... I didn't wanna do this because it's boring but all this bitching and moaning about "WAAAH! WHERE MARIO RPG!!! WAAAH!!!"... It's left me no choice.

THIS RANK WAS RELEASED IN THE APRIL 1996 ISSUE OF SUPERPLAY UK
And since the thing had to go to the printers and such long before that, let's say that everything from March 1996 and afterwards was unavailable for the rank then.
Then these SNES games weren't even released at the time:

I've bolded the titles with specific significance, do note not necessarily the best games.

In addition, these titles had been released but would not be translated into English until later and were too text heavy to be played by a non Japanese speaker before that time:
Lufia II - Rise of the Sinistrals
Terranigma
(might have missed a few titles here)

I hope this clears up everything for everyone concerned...

Oh and it's possible that this list includes a few unreleased titles too... But just ignore that... And to be honest, they weren't released by March of 1996 either...

[starts to calm down, but not after the list takes aother 999 damage]

Sorry about that then. I didn't know that this was some old magazine issue. However, my gripe about Street Fighter being than Mario Kart, World, and Yoshi's Island still stands.

Doom? Seriously? SNES was one of the game's worst ports.

Otherwise, I'm proud to have played many of these games. I'm pleasantly surprised to see Zombies At My Neighbors ranked so highly.

why is Chrono Trigger so low? And why is that inferior SNES port of Doom so much higher than it.

I fail to see how Breath of Fire gets to number 88!! I fail to see how Kirby's Avalanche made it to number 13! I fail to see how Turtles in Time did not make the list!!! I fail to see how most titles got to surpass Chrono Trigger!!! I'm confused. @_@
