    Super Mario World
    Megaman
    Zelda: Ocarina of Time
    Gunstar Heroes
    Turtles in Time
    Banjo Kazooie
    Sonic 2 (even though it's hard a'f)
    Super Metroid
    Mike Tyson's Punch Out
    Super Mario Bros. 3

    What say you, Clutchfans?

    Love AVGN. Not too sure about his movie though, hopefully it'll be worth the like 15 years it's been in production.

    SNES/N64/Playstation days were the best. Consider it the golden age of gaming.

    Street Fighter 2
    Super Mario World
    Super Mario Kart
    Donkey Kong Country
    LoZ: Link to the Past
    Super Metroid
    Final Fantasy 4,6, and 7
    Suikoden 1 & 2
    Super Puzzle Fighter II
    Star Fox 64
    Goldeneye 64
    LoZ: Ocarina of time and Majora's Mask
    Resident Evil 1 & 2
    Metal Gear Solid
    Chrono Trigger
    and others im sure i missed. So much nostalgia.

    Nowadays, videos games are way too corporate and money these days.

    Gotta give props to the Zelda series. Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and some of the earlier classics, and later gameboy retro classics are great. The N64 games all had an epic Claude De Bussy sort of feel to them.

    Banjo Kazooie was awesome too.

    Awesome, awesome list. Though I've never heard of Heretic, and never got into Sonic.

    Other good lists here as well.
    I'll second Chrono Trigger, and add Captain Tsubasa 2, Battletoads, Battletoads and Double Dragon, Rock & Roll Racing, and many more that I'm forgetting.

    For fans of Streets of Rage, here is a nostalgia trip!

    There needs to be a comeback of 2d games. Flappy bird proved it. This 3d and even if it becomes almost human-like it's still going to suck. There needs to be some type of innovative thinking.

    I certainly wouldn't call flappy bird innovative. That game has existed since the 80s. If flappy bird proves anything its that if you want to make money in making games then don't target gamers.

    I meant that 2d still has life.

    Innovative for this 3d stuff I want. It got old, I think.

    How the heck is the N64 not retro? it's damn near 20 years old. Everybody considers the 32-64 bit era retro. There are people trying to call the PS2/XBox/Gamecube era retro, but I don't think so. Not yet. My cutoff is the Dreamcast, that's the last retro console imo.
