Welcome to the next dimension.

You want SNES games?

Well everyone threw out their favorites, so I'll show you a good shmup:

Axelay <---- MUST HAVE

Go with everyone else for what games they said

You must must must must get Megaman X1. It's not only my favorite SNES game, but also one of my favorite games, period.

Haha you guys are mentioning quite a few NTSC games. The Final Fantasy games didn't come out in Europe

Huh, I never knew. That really sucks. There are some good PAL exclusives though... like Terranigma and DBZ Hyper Dimension.

[Croooow!]

DBZ Hyper Dimension is a great fighting game but I hear that the PAL version lacks the story mode.

[Reprise]

Yeah it really sucks we never got the SNES Final Fantasy games here until they were (re)released on Playstation. Hell, we had to wait here until 2009 until we could "officially" play Chrono Trigger via the DS port. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, we never got a huge chunk of SNES classics released in Europe.

One day I'll buy a NA SNES or go the modding route (or just use an import adapter and live with a 50hz image), but for now I'm trying to concentrate just on PAL games.

I've heard of Terranigma, but don't know much about it. I believe it's pretty rare and expensive right? I'll look into the game more anyways thanks.

It's an action RPG developed by Quintet. It's a pretty good game, solid all around and worth a play. But yeah expect to pay quite a bit for a PAL copy.

Heh, SimCity on SNES is awesome. I love its simplicity. The newer ones have gotten too bogged down in details.
