    My list is about the same as yours but i haven't played earthbound yet, i'm saving up the 300.00 for one in the box on ebay lol. In it's place i'd say Mario RPG or 7th Saga. Secret of evermore was good too.

    I don't think I'll ever forget my days of final fantasy 3. I miss the snes. I totally want one again. I remember being "grounded" and I'd have to give up my gaming systems, my mom's ex didn't know I had the snes, just the sega! :drinker: Hehe

    But to be completely honest, the only thing I ever got to play on SNES is Sonic. :-/ My early gaming was all Gameboy-based.

    P.S. Chrono Trigger is totally available on the PSN store. I recently bought it, FFVII, and (Alright, I'm totally indulging my inner child on this one) the Castle of Illusion bundle. Because I love taciturn heros and also mice.

    My parents only let me play educational PC games when I was a kid. Anyone want to list their Top 5 Super Seeker/Learning Company games with me?

    Also, your username is Escaflowne, and your avatar is DB. I'm a little confused.

    I remember Paint and Kid Pix
    Oh and I used to play Wolfenstein with my grandpa when no one else was around to yell at him for letting me.

    Whatever that game was with Microsoft Encarta (ha ha), I don't remember the name, but it was pretty rad and educational!
    I was pretty into PC games growing up, like the X-Files multi disk game
    The newer Oregon Trail (that was also so many disks)
    Warcraft
    Doom
    The 7th Guest
    etc.

    In no particular order:

    1. Earthbound
    2. Secret of Mana
    3. Secret of Evermore
    4. The Legend of Zelda: ALTTP
    5. Illusion of Gaia

    And I still play them to this day. :)

    Fully forgot Super Mario RPG (still own it, still play it), Breath of Fire, and Lufia! I actually rocked Lufia quite a bit in the childhood years.

    GOOD ANSWERS, PEOPLE!

    And, I'm sorry, did someone say the only game they played for SNES was sonic?!? REALLY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??

    Mario just punched you from his fictional home, perhaps in Donut land or wherever.

    1. FFVI - Even today it remains my favorite FF of them all. Forever ship Locke and Celes and OMG Sabin Ownage!
    2. Chrono Trigger - REALLY close to FFVI but the music isn't *quite* as awesome.
    3. Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past - Nuff said
    4. Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen - Technically a strategy RPG (although not quite FFTactics, which, btw, Tactics Ogre came first), but it's impossible not to include this one.
    5. Breath of Fire - for some reason there's just something about the ambiance of this one always got to me.

    Honorable mention to Lufia as well but I didn,t get very far there either :(

    However I haven't played Earthbound and I barely grazed the likes of Secret of Mana and Terranigma. And played FF and CT on emulators and my Playstation because, well... Hard to find much?

    While I had my SNES the games I did own were Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island (to this day still a favorite), Mario Paint (lol), NHL 95 aand I think that's about it. I also regret selling it :(

    I still think Chrono Trigger is one of the most fun games I"ve ever played. I bought the PS version with the New Game + combined with FFIII... but I never played FFIII. But I've played Chrono Trigger more than any one game.

    That and Mario RPG. Damn that game was so much fun.
