if you cant buy them you could also play the games on an emulator too


I actually use an emulator now, ZSNES. I sold my Super Nintendo console many year ago. I was thinking of buying a Super Nintendo a couple times but using an emulator is identical to playing on the console. Also, there are many games out there that are translated from Japanese that you would never be able to play on Super Nintendo unless you knew how to read Japanese.

Glad you reminded me of Project64, I haven't used that forever. I just downloaded it tonight and played some classic games that I used to play. Sweet!

if your gonna play conkers bad fur day the last boss is hard kill on the emulator because on 64 you need to spin the control stick, on pc you need to use the mouse.

You do know that Secret of Mana had an absolutely stellar sequel, right? Only in Japanese, but it has an English patch if you play it emulated.

I'll list a bunch of SNES RPGs, most of these you will notice are published by either Square or Enix.

Traditional Turn-based
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy IV, V, VI
Super Mario RPG
Earthbound
Dragon Quest IV, V, VI
Lufia 1 & 2
Shin Megami Tensei 1 & 2

Strategy RPG
Front Mission
Tactics Ogre
Ogre Battle
Bahamut Lagoon

Action RPG
Terranigma
Secret of Mana
Seiken Densetsu 3 (or Secret of Mana 2, if you will)
Illusion of Gaia
Legend of Zelda

Traditional/Action Hybrid RPG
Star Ocean
Tales of Phantasia

Miscellaneous RPG-sh games
Wonder Project J
Harvest Moon

I have never been disappointed in anything from Squaresoft or Enix, though oddly I've been disappointed by quite a lot since they merged.

Legend of Zelda on SNES. In my opinion, Zelda was never meant to be a high tech game. It was better on SNES. Some games are just not meant to be high tech or advanced, and are better off remaining low tech. Zelda is definately one of those games.
