Donkey Kong Country is my favorite game of all time. It's a great list, even if I find it odd that an rpg is at the number one spot.



yo I was just thinking the same thing, DKC was an amazing game for its time and still is.
I might just have to emulate it since I never did finish that game as a kid.

Goodness, i only owned 2 of those games for the SNES (Mario-all stars, and DK country), I was so deprived of good games when I was young, wish my SNES didn't die on me a few years ago .

The NES list needs Master Blaser.

Dunno about Chrono Trigger. Even as a big Square fan back in the day, I found the game not that great compared to FFVI and Secret of Mana.

LOL Chrono Trigger at 9.7. The game was good, not THAT good.

Secret of mana is definitely one of the most fun games I ever played with friends. It is different from any other RPG before or since as far as I know. The sequels to secret of mana don't come close.
Ever played Seiken Densetsu 3 (aka Secret of Mana 2)? It was never released in American, but you can easily find fan-translations online. Although there are 3 characters like in SoM, it's only two player. Thankfully, though, someone also made a hack (that's a bit buggy) to make it 3 player. My friends and I played through it last summer. It was really good. I'd still put SoM slightly above it, but there's a lot of things SD3 did better than SoM. I'd highly suggest checking it out if you're a fan of Secret of Mana.
Google search actually missed seiken densetsu 3, tales of phantasia, and terranigma the first time i compiled the list :X but it was up there
Aah thats the stuff..

Yeah, that's a pretty good list - I don't agree with it 100% (chrono trigger would be rank 10~ for me, but oh well).

9.4 Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars for SNES

This is the only game I could possibly say was better than Starcraft. I still play it. Hell, I went and fixed my SNES for the sole reason of playing this game.

This measures popularity, and pretty much nothing else When I think of objective measurements, I usually hope the only criteria isn't just a popularity contest.

There is a glaring lack of Mega Man on this list. I agree with SMB3 being the best game on NES though. So good. Oh shit there's no DKC on the SNES list this is an outrage.

The lack of Mega Man and Zelda on the NES were the only things I noticed right away. I don't know why, but I never cared for Dragon Warrior at all as a kid or even now... and Tecmo was a friggin awesome sports game at the time, pretty much the most depth ever at that point. Dunno if it deserves in over any of the Mega Mans (I loved 2) or the first Zelda.

I would guess that since the ratings were assigned after the internet became widespread ans we were already in the PSX era, they don't reflect how good they were when they were released but rather how well they hold up.

Also JRPG fans tend to be more retro than most other genre fans.

Popularity would be the number of votes for a game. All the games in the list easily fill the popularity criterion(of having at least 100 votes on gamespot) so it is irrelevant in regards to them.

Hmmm that's a pretty dangerous thing to say round these parts partner! *cowboy boots*
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable
