I'd hardly call Cybernator mainstream. And who knows? He might like it. Is it worth picking up a SNES for? Probably not. But there might also be other hidden gems he really enjoys. Just because the big names don't appeal to one, doesn't mean that the console holds nothing for you. I don't care for Sonic games or many of the Sega Genesis' big titles, but that doesn't mean I will write off the console entirely. There's bound to be something that interests me on it.
Very true. And I think the retro community should do a better job of making those hidden gems more well known. I mean, other than the hidden gem articles on racketboy, I don't see that happening. Most retro game sites/reviewers focus on the same games again and again, cause those are the ones they grew up with.
