Description When I was about 7 years old, I had already experienced videogames. My cousin had a Nintendo Entertainment System, and it was the coolest thing in the world. I also (very, very briefly) had my own console, with 3 games. I think it was a colecovision, but I'm not certain, and my mother doesn't even remember it. But that system was thrown out long ago, and I had always longed for more. I wanted a Super Nintendo. One christmas, at the last minute, my dad decided to buy it, out of the blue. That was a wonderful christmas.

The SNES is the one console that has stuck with me the longest. I still have the one I got all those christmases ago, and it's still running beautifully. It's my favorite console, and from it are some of my most favorite games of all time.

This list had plenty of candidates, so I had to really buckle down and choose wisely. I chose only games I actually own (even if two are reproductions), which is why some classics like Super Metroid isn't here. Each game on this list though has a story, a reason why it's on the list.

Mega Man X is my favorite game of all time. Bar none. It's not the first Mega Man game I ever played, but it's the one that cemented my love for the series as a whole. It's the first one I owned, and while I have X2 and X3, neither can be considered quite as good. I can also beat this game in under half an hour; that's how often I played it.

LoZ: ALttP has always been my favorite Zelda game, and I always thought it was a shame there was only one on the SNES, but at least it's awesome. Mega Man and Bass allowed me to play as my favorite classic character, Bass, which showed off just how awesome he truly was. Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma were games I discovered one day when searching for RPGs, and they are the best the SNES had to offer. Terranigma is the only SNES game on this list that I haven't beaten, a parallel shared with Fire Emblem. Kirby Super Star is so addicting, and the fact that power ups have multiple moves made this Kirby game. Turtles in Time, despite lacking the 4-Player support, is better on the SNES than on the Arcade (yeah, I said it). Super Mario World (along with All-Stars) came with the system, and I played the crap out of it, until I completed the file. Earthworm Jim is insanely difficult, yet creative and fun (and I did manage to beat it, but on the DSi, which was much easier). Of all the Super Star Wars games (which I have), Return of the Jedi was the most fun, and the only one I ever beat.

So that's my list. I may one day make more lists, but I sincerely doubt I will change the lists I currently have (except maybe the Xbox 360 list, as games are still coming out for it).
