Suggestions for a SNES gaming weekend

[Ziggy]

What an interesting way to disguise a "Name your top 5 SNES games" thread.

Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 and 3 would definitely do it for me. Castlevania IV would be nice, too. I like the Turtles in Time suggestion.

It could be...but I think that the exercise is more interesting if we are resticted to the OP's backlog.

I also expect him or her to post: (1) the games chosen for the weekend; (2) whether he or she completed all of them; and (3) impressions on each of the games.

Turtles in Time
F-Zero
Knights of the Round
Star Fox
Super R-Type
U.N. Squadron
Mega Man X and X2 (if I had X3 I'd put it too)
Contra III the Alien Wars
Super Mario All-Stars
Tetris Attack
Tetris and Dr. Mario
Super Double Dragon
Final Fight
Final Fight 2

And all the other games everybody else mentioned too.

Thanks for the awesome input guys

I will most certainly be updating the list of games chosen This really isn't a list of my top five SNES games (Chrono Trigger and Mario RPG would definitely be in that list but would probably take up too much of my time) but rather a way for me to play through some of my favorite shorter games on the SNES.

Thanks to the poster who suggested the Donkey Kong trilogy - one of those, likely the first one, simply has to be included. My list to this point is likely to be:

Friday night - Super Metroid
Saturday - Zelda: LttP
Sunday - Super Mario World
Sunday Night - F-Zero
Monday - Donkey Kong

(I have four days of vacation, though I might add F-Zero to Friday AFTER Metroid, as both are relatively short)

I was just kidding!

SNES weekend sounds fun, would be more fun to put some TV's together and play side by side with a friend on the same games!

add Yoshis Island and Turtles In Time

No way, you'd need the entire weekend for Yoshi's Island alone! That game is massive last I remember.

I was thinking Super Castlevania IV myself, throw in some Earthworm Jim too.

if you can get a copy of firestriker on your hands that one is really fun.

Well, the weekend got off to a slower start than I anticipated (couldn't get Friday off approved in time, unfortunately) but I haven't lost hope! I just finished beating Super Metroid tonight and I was not disappointed.

Although I didn't die a single time, I credit a lot of that to memories of when I was a teenager and the game seemed legitimately tough for me...I spent countless hours grinding through that maze searching for powerups back in the day. The music is still top-notch and the atmosphere of the game is incredible...there were a few parts that literally gave me goosebumps.

Anyway, the coffee pot is on, so next stop - Donkey Kong Country!
