"The SNES Civilization port, functional but awkward on pad. Rich strategy for hardcore Sid Meier console fans."

"A polished Indiana Jones platformer, smooth and movie faithful. Beautiful, sturdy and fun even for non fans."

"Lufia II is a JRPG peak, blending adventure, brilliant puzzle dungeons and unforgettable music. A hidden classic worth discovering."

"The first Fire Emblem on SFC, a remake of the very first Famicom entry. Hard turn based tactics, brutal permadeath and a foundational story."

"Pocky and Rocky is a folkloric Natsume top down shooter, two player friendly. Wacky, demanding, colorful, a SFC coop peak."

"A Capcom shooter built on the Area 88 manga, with mission based progression and plane purchases. Gripping system, gorgeous mood, a SNES great."

"A Capcom brawler with multiple characters, faithful to the arcade. Fun with friends but limited by repetitive waves."

"Panel de Pon is one of the best SNES puzzlers, a Nintendo color matching peak. Competitive, deep, two player, essential."

"Kirby Super Star packs varied mini adventures into a single brilliant cart. Joyful local coop and inventive abilities, a HAL Lab peak."

"Enix's evolution RPG where you grow your creature across the ages. Strange, sometimes slow, but bursting with imagination for its time."

"Fire Emblem Seisen no Keifu, the most ambitious and singular of the series. Huge maps, pairing system and unforgettable generational storytelling."

"A colorful, well paced Pop'n TwinBee Konami shooter, two player friendly. Charming and accessible, a soft intro to Japanese shmup."

"The SNES Street Fighter Alpha 2 port, denser and slower than arcade. Far from PS1 but impressive for the hardware, essential for Capcom fans."

"Simon Belmont's Super Famicom return is a Konami masterclass. Freer controls, gothic mood and a genius soundtrack make this an absolute peak."

"Fire Emblem Thracia 776 is a brutal tactical peak, demanding and surgical. Harder and trickier, for series veterans only."

"R-Type III is Irem's horizontal shooter peak on SNES, demanding and gorgeous. Three Force types and memorable levels, essential."

"A two player Disney coop platformer, tasty and accessible. Ideal for a session with a beginner friend."

"Human's firefighter game, brilliant in its constant tension and taut rhythm. Short but striking for atypical experience fans."

"A LucasArts 2D mecha shooter with excellent coop, demanding and stylish. A lesser known gem to try absolutely in duo."

"A surprisingly polished Sailor Moon action RPG blending battles and chats, made for the fans. A real little SFC surprise."
