UN Squadron is my fave shmup of the generation and one of my faves of all time. I actually bought it on eBay when I started collecting my "dream collection" of snes games.
and 6 golden coins is amazing! such a great soundtrack (SML and SML2 both kill it) and introduces a hat made of bunny ears, which is fantastic.

in my mind super mario land 2 is the superior game to the first one (and one of the best in the series overall) but somehow just doesn't quite attain the aura of classicness that the first has

Yeah never heard of UN Squadron either, same for Rings of Power.

Voted for Toe Jam & Earl 2, pretty cool mash-up of genres including little rhythm game interludes, music is slap bass heaven. love Cannon Fodder and Wonder Boy but mostly on different machines i guess. threw Cannon Fodder a vote anyway because it's sooooo good but surely designed to be played with a mouse for maximum efficiency.

WOW. I was just looknig through the SML2 soundtrack for a specific song, but I found a different song... that gets stuck in my head ALL THE TIME... and I had no idea where it was from!

How in the world was Castlevania Bloodlines rated GA while Panic on Funkotron got a T? Pervasive Rap Content?
― erudite beach boys fan (sheesh), Tuesday, 4 October 2016 19:49 (seven years ago) link
don't understand the rating system but seem to remember there may have been edgy fart-related humour in PoF?

Antoher stone-cold classic but unfortunately impossible to find cheap on ebay. Love to have that one in my collection. xp
Panic on Funkotron, rated T for Teen due to Strong Rap Content and Pervasive Farts
Have never played Rings of Power but I looooove Baldur's Gate so much, will have to check that out

E.V.O. is the first SNES title on the list that i'm completely unfamiliar with. just guessing from the title and description, do you gradually evolve depending on what kind of stuff you eat?

i loved the different US regions and the "amusing" character quotes between races, game is perfectly balanced imo

i have very strong memories in my mind of playing raod rash 2 on the genesis with my friend. the two of us trying to beat the single playr game. sometimes you'd go up over a hill and as you came down, you'd hit a car that you couldn't see. now that i'm a "video game professional" or whatever i still think of thaat as the example of bad game design when i close my eyes.
also every time it happened my friend david would yell "THAT WAS A SET-UP!" which i find really funny to this day, because i think it's the only example i can think of of someone calling a non-frame-job a "set up"
i will have a lot of these fun little stories over the course of this rollout
xxxp

you fight and eat stuff to get xp, use xp to evolve cool new parts of your body (stronger skin, claws, an angler fish light on your head, etc) and eventually you evolve legs and start all over as an amphibian! and then later you evolve... reptilenesss and start all over as a reptile!!!

I've tried playing through this on an emulator, but the combat seemed like a slog. Great atmosphere, though.

I very nearly beat Secret of Evermore back in the day, but my younger brother OVERWROTE MY SAVE FILE as he hastily, thoughtlessly saved his own and I haven't played it since. I am still traumatized. Great game though!
