I've never seen or played Justice League, just know it exists, I think it was an uninteresting looking fighting game and that was it.

Opa you're right, it's an amazing game. I have the GBA version of it for on the go or on my tv which is handy. I have a bad habit over the years of going between the SNES and GBA releases of Blackthorne, Lost Vikings, and Rock n Roll Racing for one reason or another.

If nobody has mentioned it yet, I want to add this:

It's a super awesome action-RPG that one could definitely beat in a week (probably in two days even). Actually this game is my all time favorite SNES entry to be honest. And yes you can play it in English: http://agtp.romhack.net/project.php?id=fmgh
PLAY KING'S FIELD.

Blackthorne rules on PC or SNES (and there's a GBA port? Sweet!). You can shoot any living thing pretty much.

Will second Exhuminator's suggestion. He recommended it to me a while back, and it was a fantastic play. You don't even necessarily have to be great at these sort of mech-action games, since it has significant role-playing elements as well. It's not terribly short, but then again, depending on how much time you have each day, most SNES games, even RPGs, can be finished within a week.

I'd suggest you to play Super Mario world 2: Yoshi's Island.

Actraiser is my call. It's a very enjoyable experience and you can definitely clear it in under a week. Thanks to Professional mode you can definitely go back for more which adds to the challenge.

I feel terrible if I forgot to mention ActRaiser. :\ That along with Gradius III were my first SNES purchases after launch. That game isn't to terribly hard by any means, but it can kick your ass if you're not careful still. It's a short game, easily knocked off in 4-6 hours, but there's so much fun in it and you can tackle some lands out of order too to mix it up so it really shouldn't be missed. The mix of Sim City light town building/monster crushing with god moments using nature to assist that and then the platforming game to kill off the big monsters of the land removing the corruption makes it a treasure.

I feel bad I forgot Actraiser too. I waited YEARS after that game came out to finally play it, what a huge mistake I made. It can be played fast OR slow, in recent times I like to max the population of each town by simply destroying the older houses that don't hold too many people. Nothing like a little urban renewal. :lol:

I've always done that, and in my old NP give away 'code book' they gave out I wrote in the cover flap just how many the max population was in each town so I could keep blasting until I hit the max on later play throughs which was useful.

Another benefit of maxing population is getting your character to crazy levels so you can have as much HP as the bosses do.
