Listosaurus Rex

The first post on Listosaurus Rex covered SydLexia’s spectacular Top 100 NES games list. I just ran across the site’s sequel covering the SNES.

I’m a bit too young to have experienced the NES in the prime, but the SNES blew my mind as I was growing up. A few Super Nintendo games remain my favorite games ever, so it’s cool to see these hardnosed game geeks sentimentalizing the classics. Here’s the top ten:

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
2. Super Metroid
3. Final Fantasy III
4. Super Mario World
5. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
6. Chrono Trigger
7. Mega Man X
8. Final Fantasy II
9. EarthBound
10. Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting

Unlike the NES list, I’m actually familiar with most of these games, so it warms the cockles of my heart to see these hardcore gamers hilariously arguing the value of these decade-old treasures.

My favorite portion might be each of the critics tongue-in-cheek ripping Super Mario World — maybe my favorite game ever — for being so darn easy. It’s so true.

Anyways, if you have a bone in your body that is nostalgic for sixteen-bit glory days, I’d recommend check out SydLexia’s list. It’ll be good reminiscence with plenty of laughs
