While I owned an SNES very early, regrettably I never experimented beyond games I would recognize from somewhere, like from a commercial or a game being an arcade port or I somehow found familiar, like a superhero game or it being a game based on a TV show for example. Even though I owned at the very least around 20+ games, I mostly rented them, so it wasn’t until years later that I would experience the greatness of the console at its fullest through emulation.
In no particular order, these are some of the games I played and remember quite fondly:
Mega Man X trilogy
Mega Man 7
StarFox
Stunt Race FX
Super Metroid
Final Fight trilogy
Super Mario World
Street Fighter II
Killer Instinct
Aero Fighters
Axelay
Disney's Aladdin
Sonic Blast Man
Contra III: The Alien Wars
Magic Sword
The King of the Dragons
Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose!
Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Battletoads & Double Dragon
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters
Ninja Warriors
Batman Returns
The Death and Return of Superman
Spider-Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage
SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse
True Lies
Dennis the Menace
Robocop versus The Terminator
Super Widget
Captain America and the Avengers
Super Adventure Island
Alien vs. Predator
Jurassic Park
Mario Paint
Clayfighter
Claymates
Bubsy
I remember renting and playing Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger, but at that time I hadn't a clue what an RPG was and I genuinely had no idea how to go about in each game, so all I remember is liking them, especially Super Mario RPG, but kind of/sort of feeling unsure and confused. It wasn't until years later that I would fully enjoy both games.
Well, if we’re talking Sonic... none of those games are particularly good. Flashy, well coded, great production design, but overall not very fun plaformers. All flash and no substance, IMO.
PREACH!!!! Sonic the Hedgehog is trash. It’s just not fun or a good game. The whole game is about going fast, but if you go fast you die.
Again, Sonic fans be like...
