tough competition from SaGa Frontier

I could pick up a more "unique" or elitist title, but whatever, this is an anonymous board. I honestly believe SMW to be the perfect video game.

>>4884774
You already posted it OP. Masterpiece.

>>4884890
I'm with you. Super Mario World is the one I always come back to.

Outrun.
funny thing is it's not my personal favorite but I acknowledge it's the best.

>a 5-minute tech demo is his favourite game
Sad.

>>4884852
>>4884876
good choices

>>4884890
this is probably the right answer. SMW is probably the citizen kane of retro gaming.

While it isn’t as visually advanced or as bombastic as Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 3/6 I will always consider Earthbound to be the JRPG to rule them all, it eschews the genre’s conventions, satirizes the hell out of them but still respects the genre enough to make a serious game

>>4884854
Loved this game.


SMB3 though, despite it not being my favorite game (Fallout)

>>4884780
That text looks too smooth.
Are you posting the phone port, you fucking normie?

>SMW is probably the citizen kane of retro gaming.

You mean the film that redditors claim is the best film ever made in order to appear cultured?
When in real life their revealed preference is the latest capeshit and disney wars flicks?

>>4884852
Too many bugs and the diplomacy is totally broken.
Master of Orion I is a perfect game by comparison.

>>4885245
Master of Magic has multiple competing strategies that actually work. MOO on the other hand is all about quickly growing your population because more people equals more power equals winning.

>>4885243
Listen I know Mario wears a cape in the game but SMW isn't capeshit level.

>>4885246
I love MoM but agree with the other anon there are too many bugs and quirks to really consider it for GOAT status. Fun as hell though.

Starcraft: Broodwar, if you ask me.
Wouldn't be surprised if it is still played competitively in another 20 years.

Calling normie someone who has spend $6 in a phone game.

>>4884885
Hard choice for me too. SaGa Frontier is sadly underrated.

Hard to top perfection.

>>4885836
That's a perfectly normie thing to do, though.

for me

Either one of these absolute legends.
Their sequels may be better on a technical scale but I'd rather kill the two or three hours it takes to beat them in one afternoon than make a commitment to their much longer SNES and N64 counterparts. Also I feel like I need to shelve their sequels for several months or years after beating any of them, but I get the urge to come back to these games at least once a month or every other month.

>>4885206
The fanbase may be whiny and a bit on the spectrum, I will never stop loving Earthbound and the Mother series. I l-love you, Itoi-Sama

Star Ocean: The Second Story

>>4884774
You already posted it.

>>4884774
No contest.

>>4884992
AMEN BROTHER

>>4886741
Squarefaggotry knows no limits in this board

>>4887463
what's the appeal of hypers systems

>>4887469
it's fun to optimize gauge refill
they give more points, make chaining a tad easier, make your ship more poweful, and crank the rank up
best dodonpachi system, sequels arent nowhere as fun to play for score IMO

>>4886325
Hello, me.
Favorite party member?

>>4887481
I prefer the previous two games personally. The first one is one of my most played games
DOJ is fine indeed

>>4884981
>SMW is probably the citizen kane of retro gaming.

I'd argue that title goes to Quake 1 or Super Metroid, though SMW is certainly incredibly popular and important.

>>4884774
One of the first games I ever played, and it hasn't lost its magic since.

>>4884774
DUAL ORB 2, it has sniper rifles and monster trucks.

>>4887761
Too overrated, try FFVII, now that's patrician taste only for high IQ individuals such as myself

>>4886882
No einhander for you then?

>>4884774

There are probably better games, but this is so comfy. Money cheat and population size is the way to go here, waiting for tax money is too boring.

>>4884890
Is that kim?

Best? I dunno, the things we value from games not only vary for each person, they contradict each other. Some people want to be told a story, some people want to tell their own. Some people want to be cheered up, some want to reflect on their own sadness. Maybe you grew up reading books, maybe you watched lots of cartoons. There's no one-size-fits-all "best game".

Just fucking with you, it's DKC2.

>>4887752
This game+scene is the only thing that ever wowed me on the NES back in the day.
