Fuck that game was awesome but also frustrating alike.

Personally I like Star Wars Rogue Squadron. gr8 gaem

Shake Shake!

Super Ghouls and Ghosts - how could I forget? that game is an eater of souls.

Terranigma, motherfucker!

And on N64, Hybrid Heaven.

i used to own terranigma, its quite rare and only available in japan and europe. amazing game. (ENIX)

hills, some excellent picks on that list! i DL'ed sin and punishment last year on wii VC, hard as nails but brilliant game.

WoW! Holy crap hills! Cheers for the outstanding list! Will check'em all out!
Thanks very much everyone else as well.
Great help!!!
I think there should be a sticky for retro gaming....

I only can recommend what everyone else has already said..with extra emphasis on CHRONO TRIGGER for SNES.

And Super Metroid..Earthbound..Contra 3..eh I'll shut up. I'm clueless for N64 anyway.

Perfect Dark for the N64, probably my favourite all time game (though I've nearly finished Metal Gear 4 and WOW!). As for the SNES, Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6 are amazing but probably near impossible to buy...emulation Then there's the obvious choices of Super Mario World and Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Can't fault hills' list there. Loved my SNES more than pretty much any console (okay, maybe excluding Vectrex). Soulblazer FTW!

Equally hard to find as 'Sin and Punishment' is 'Bakuretsu Muteki Bangai-O' by Treasure on N64. Awesome game and full of Japanese weirdness. Also loved 'Blast Corps' by Rare.

I'd say Modern Castlevania is Metroid styled mapping

I'm playing it on my super-haxxored-xbox as we speak.

emulation is great, but there is no substitute for playing on original hardware. for example, the sega megadrive/genesis sound on emulation never sounds quite as good as running through the real synth chip on the original hardware.
