Nintendo, from the masses, because it was a threat to Mario's profit margin.

The one that has lots of slowdown and only 4 sprites max on-screen.

Doki Doki Panic, it's the Japanese version of Super Mario 2.

Metal Max Returns, motherfuckers.

>purchase Picasso and Dali paintings to hang in your room, or even a jukebox

And so much more, it's an amazing RPG and it makes me sad that so few people have played it.

SimEarth, the SNES version is by far the best. You may want to have a fast-forward button on your emulator handy, though.

This.
It's one of those games you play and wonder why the hell didn't you play it before.
>>
>>3214387

You terraform a planet and try to create intelligent life. You have control over everything from the rate of volcanic activity and continental drift to the surface albedo to how fast life mutates. Some levels have you colonizing Venus and Mars, or committing genocide against a planet of robot life.

Only complaints are the sloooow pace and the fact that it spreads misinformation about evolution, like that some species are "more evolved" than others because they're bigger or more intelligent.

Equinox? It's a love letter to Rare's isometric platformers from the 80s. Basically Zelda with nearly everything but the dungeons cut out.

Never was a fan of small sprites as your main character. I get why they did it, but it just turns me off to the idea of playing for more than 10 minutes.

Dont know if I'd call this underrated. It was one of the very first of a small library of SNES games so it got a lot of attention (and awards) when it released. It was a popular arcade game as well.

Lufia 2 all the way.

I remember seeing it constantly advertised in the back of Gamefan magazine for years, but it never came out. Only years later when emulation was available did I get to play it. It was everything I imagined it would be; totally awesome.

Yes, Lufia II is sick. Great characters, great story, great atmosphere, post game content, good puzzles, decent boss fights. It may just be one of the absolute best rpgs on the snes.

Nice.

Although for some reason I always preferred the Genesis version of it to the SNES. Don't know why, they were basically identical

Young Merlin. fun adventure game with really great atmosphere and setting and tons of personality.

there's a casual filter section early on in the game that alot of people give up at, which is a shame because the game really deserves more credit than it gets.
