Best (and Worst) SNES Games You were Playing in 1993

1993 was an epic year for Video Games. Some amazing video games came out but it was also flooded with a bunch of not-so-great games. Here's a chronological look at just some of the SNES games you were playing in 1993.

In 1993 I was in 6th grade, and I swapped games to try out with my friend Tom. He gave me Gradius 3, I gave him SimCity. When I brought Gradius 3 back, Tom wasn't at school that day, so I just kept it in my locker, where it got stolen. (Friggin Lorenzo.) So my mom thought it was justified that since I lost his game, he got to keep mine. Parenting! Because of this, I asked for SimEarth for Christmas, and I got it, and... it sucks. One of the most disappointing game experiences of my life. At least I was able to get Star Fox that year

[@JohnRiggs]

Yeah, trading games at school was always a gamble, especially with lockers. Once I traded my game (forgot what it was) for my friend's Spider-Man and X-Men (terrible). We traded back before school started, later that day he told me his copy was stolen. I felt bad for him, but was also thankful that we traded back early as I always kept my games on me (I never used my high school locker)

I rented games a lot from a store called Phar-Mor. Games were a buck a piece for 3 nights. I miss that store, and I miss the days of renting, although I think that's rosy colored glasses talking for me. Now that I think of it, I rented a lot of bad games. The good ones were always out!

[@turismofoegaming8806]

Renting games and movies back then was better if you ask me? Nowadays it’s more convenient sure, but back then everything had more to experience and as a Result was more enjoyable imo!! Going to Blockbuster on Friday after a long School week was always so exciting, even when you rented a Turd.. I’ll never forget one of my Favorites of all time that I rented and then later when it was time to Return it, Trading my friend Shawn RE 2 for, was none other than Gran Turismo for PlayStation!! (I know wrong Video) But in general I don’t at all think it’s just “Rose Tinted Glasses” because it really was more of an Experience back then?! I was 11 when PS1 came out in 95! I never got to play many SNES Games…

If you liked that Bubsy idle animation, play Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run, and when you're pitching, don't press anything. "Play the game, kid!"

[@retrojoe85]

Oh, sometimes I still play Rock & Roll Racing, John. For me, that I love as s**t the nice old "RC Pro AM" for the NES, it was the best: futuristic feeling, cartoon graphics, rockin' music...it was everything for me.

[@felix-ve8jk]

I had a Genesis but my friends had SNES. We used to go back and forth about which system had the better games. Little did we know the answer was actually the PC Engine (or Turbografx 16, minus some of the stellar Japanese only releases like Rondo of Blood)

[@hepwo91222]

I was one of the few kids that had a TG-16 and even had the CD add on and it was not region locked so I had Dracula X Rondo of Blood. SNES was still my fave, but by 1993 TG-16 was just doing game sby mail order by the end of the year as stores no longer were carrying their games and it was the end of support for the most underrated console ever.

[@johngavalas74]

I also had a Turbografx 16 wish i had the CD attachment Turbografx 16 and Turbografx 16 CD had some amazing shoot em ups

[@Pixelmusement]

With SMB All-Stars you're not completely wrong. Lost Levels specifically (as well as the original Japanese SMB2) has a feature where if you finish the game with zero warp pipes you get to move on to "World 9" and finishing that world brings you to the letter worlds A through D which are mostly just harder versions of earlier levels. And don't forget that Secret of Mana supported THREE players simultaneous with a multi-tap! ;D

[@JohnRiggs]

you're right about 3 players! I never got to try that. I only played it briefly as a two player

[@philipbickham7551]

Every few days It was a sickness I spent more time at Video Express and Video center than the house 7-mile round trip not a problem and I was a chubby kid that is from over doing it after the trips

[@kintozero3169]

The US version (Lost Levels) lets you die & continue on world 9, but the original Famicom version just gives you ONE life. If you die there, it's instant game over.

[@snbks4ever]

I've gotta comment. WWF Royal Rumble for me as a kid was so so enjoyable. And in a few ways was so much better than WWF Super Wrestlemania. More moves, larger roster, has the rumble and the game itself isn't lagged down like the previous release. Great video John

Fatal Fury was created by people that used to work at Capcom so… Whether it’s a clone or not I loved it and over the years found myself playing more SNK fighters from any other company. 3 Count Bout, Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury, The King of Fighters, Samurai Showdown, Savage Rain, and World Heroes. Love them all!

[@aldoushuxleysghost]

To me, 1993 was all about Secret of Mana. I couldn't put it down

[@JohnRiggs]

IMO the highlight of 1993.

[@supermustachepika]

Had a friend who had Rock N Roll Racing and played it till I beat it as you can upgrade your vehicle like RC Pro AM minus collecting letters. Also, played countless hours of WWF Royle Rumble and remembering the arm drag trick but remember the awesome intro music when highlighting each wrestler. I don't recall bonus levels in All Stars and I would borrow 7th Saga from a classmate and try to get as far as I could in the game with the same aava without them overriding it and getting stuck. I also still have a copy of Final Fight. Friends had Mortal Kombat and remember hitting R button with Johnny Cage and crotch shot everyone except Sonia through the tournament. Also had all three of the Super Star Wars games as a kid but no more.

[@umairsqu]

rock n roll racing is probably the best 16 bit racing game ever. such an under rated gem.

[@diegoarmando5489]

I've never been a 1993 guy. All of my favourite 16 bit games came out in '91,' 92, '94, '95, and '96. (I'm talking NA releases here, so Asians, Brazilians, and Europeans probably had different experiences than I did.) I guess the North American localization of Shining Force came out that year, and that kicks ass.

[@JohnRiggs]

93 was a pretty grim year. Amazing games just before and just after, and there's a few hits in 93, but few and far between.

[@NickFlanaganlaffs]

Jogurt!

[@chrisrj9871]

Did you play Secret of Mana at all? It's one of my favorites and deserves the title of "a classic" in my eyes. The worst of it is that sometimes the enemies tend to attack and attack while the HP-loss animation is still going so you can't move, and you can only hold 4 of each item. Still, it's a favorite for the gameplay, story and music, and the graphics really take you there, from right when the RPG boom was starting.

[@diegoarmando5489]

@@chrisrj9871 I didn't play it till years later, so it doesn't trigger any nostalgia for me. (in comparison, I played FF4, Super Mario RPG, and most of the best Sega Genesis RPG and PS1 RPGs within a year or two of release). Never got into it, but I respect it. I think Quintet's trilogy of action RPGs (quadrology if you count Actraiser) are superior, especially as a single-player experiences.

[@joesshows6793]

16:17 7th Saga was so good BUT it was brutally unbalanced and at one point the game got to the ‘not fun’ level of hard.

@@JohnRiggs not really… Japanese animation wasn’t mainstream until the late 90s, mostly with Dragonball Z, Pokemon and Digimon. Not only were anime series kinda niche and obscure, but licensing rights were all over the place 😅

It's a shame that we never got an official western release of the Sailor Moon: Another Story JRPG for the Super Famicom but at least there are fan translations. I also somewhat liked the Tenchi Muyo! tactical JPRG for Super Famicom but that one was a lot easier than the Sailor Moon JRPG.

[@dire51]

Shanghai was released for the Master System and PCs. Same kind of game, of course. And the Genesis Captain America and the Avengers stomped the SNES version into the mud.

[@ACL84Fla]

Mortal Kombat with the Genesis 6 button controller was the best way to play it outside of the arcade.

[@lyrand6408]

StarFox blew my mind to pieces back then, could not believe that game. Love it to this day. And WWF Royal Rumble was _AMAZING_ to play with friends, me and my buddies during highschool years had an absolute blast every week-ends playing this together, so much fun. I'd say 1993 is the year when the 'dominance' of the SNES was truly starting, and probably 1994 being - overall - the best year of the system (in my opinion).

[@rjcolombe]

Going to the video store to rent games back in the day is great nostalgia that ill always miss.

[@ultramaximusreviews]

You should totally do a video on "clone games" so games that cloned super popular games like Asteroids, Centipede, Super Mario, Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, Metroid, Zelda, etc.

If you like Haggar from Final Fight 2 then you need to watch Godzilla: Final Wars 2004 because the character Captain Douglas Gordon looks just like Haggar from the video game! Also, never even heard of Harley's Humongous Adventure for the SNES will have to check that game out!! My favorite fighting game is Clay Fighter just because it looked so different at the time!

[@Owazrim]

Shanghai was on the Master System. Star Fox is good because it laid the ground work for the 64 version. EVO is a lot of fun. Painful when you choose the wrong upgrade and have to grind to get to the next one. Captain America was such a good arcade game.

[@metrorican]

I didn't get my SNES until the following year for Christmas. If I had one in '93, then my picks would've been Batman Returns, Royal Rumble (had it on Genesis. Hulkamania brother!) and Super Mario All-Stars (which came with my SNES, along with the Super Game Boy). One you didn't mention, which would've been a must-have for me, is Tecmo Super Bowl. I know people have more love for the NES version, but I really enjoy the 16-Bit versions on SNES and Genesis.

[@SPac316]

I think this was the apex era for the 16-bit era. SO many great variety of games came out! I was 14-15 years old by then and it was truly a memorable time for me.

[@BlackMoore82]

My all time favorite game Illusion of Gaia came out in ‘93 as well, although North America didn’t get it until the following year.

[@brianhatcher2799]

I really need to play Secret of Mana again. I got stuck early in the game and quit playing it for awhile. Honestly, it was kind of hard to get into but the soundtrack and the visuals were amazing. Batman Returns and Star Fox are both EPIC games, Sunset Riders is challenging but a lot of fun, and back in the 90s I beat both of the Fatal Fury games. Terry Bogard and Kim Kaphwan were awesome!! Thanks John 🙏

The arcade collection has a revamped version of rock and roll racing as a definitive edition. The music used for it was modified to be the real deal and not just a rendition, but some tracks were replaced (paranoid was one track replaced by breaking the law). Also, they tried a free to play with heavy metal machines (even had Larry do the voice work), but lack of players made them have to shut it down.

Thank you for the upload! I must say to this day I'm still convinced the SNES is the greatest console of all time. The NES got peeps back into video games but the SNES was just like so many levels above it. I absolutely loved Mario World, Star Fox, and Lost Levels, but there were also all of the amazing RPG games like Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, Legend of Gaia, and Secret of Evermore. It most definitely had a huge effect on the person I am even to this day.

[@retro_jandro7530]

I definitely remember renting Power Moves, Tiny Toons, Bubsy, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and Fatal Fury back in the late 90s. Had a cousin let me borrow Plok back in the day. Now I own the Super Famicom version. The artwork's alot different on the label.

[@Lost_n_Found_1]

Idk, it's arguable that the Nintendo Switch version of Star Link is the best Star Fox game we've had in a long, long time. Only on the Switch version, though.

[@jamesstaggs4160]

Shadowrun was great on both platforms, rhey were just very different games. The SNES version was way better looking and had more of an adventure game feel with the Genesis being a much more traditional RPG. Shadowrun is a criminally underused IP. Rich and unique world that mixes fantasy and cyberpunk. I really don't understand how it isn't way more popular than it is

[@chaseman94]

I'm surprised you haven't mentioned Cybernator that game was awesome .

[@BnomicaL]

I thought people preferred the Sega version of Aladdin more because you had a sword in that version.. Great video btw John.

[@ManAboutTown1000]

I like The 7th Saga, I played it a lot as a teenager, but it is a hard game and it just gets harder as you go through it. Jurassic Park was an alright game. The lack of a save function in such a huge complex game was a major problem.

[@susanfit47]

2 years after the launch of the Super Nintendo, I became a fan of the Super NES in 1993. I had the 8-bit Nintendo NES, and the Game Boy. And I didn't have a Super Nintendo at that time, but I got it later in life in 2002.

[@markula_4040]

I guess as a fan of Rock n Roll Racing I was fully aware of the remaster as part of the Blizzard Arcade Collection but I'm surprised by John here and many comments that it isn't common knowledge.

[@jqwright28]

I remember seeing Star Fox for the first time. I thought it looked amazing but after a few minutes playing it, I was done. Which is partly the opposite of Doom, I couldn't get enough of that shareware floppy going around at my school and it was my dream to have a PC that could play it at home. Took a few years but I eventually got one.

[@raygunpyle]

I completely agree that THQ was like the new LJN. I grew up more SNES than NES, and when I saw the THQ logo on a SNES game, I got the same fear NES fans get from LJN. I remember THQ games always being in the bargain bin at the entrance of KB Toys.

I know it wasn't on SNES because Acclaim had the console rights for the Simpsons duing the 16-bit era but the Simpsons Arcade Game would've looked fine on SNES assuming that Konami would've used the same graphics engine as TMNT: Turtles in Time. I wish Konami could've worked something out with Acclaim even if it meant Acclaim releasing it under their own label.

[@Redfoot138]

Some other KZbinrs have covered it, but the SNES port of Captain America & The Avengers was just complete garbage and should have been at least as good as the Genesis version, if not better. Technologically, I think those Konami arcades beat 'em ups like Simpsons and X-Men could have been pretty good for the SNES, if not arcade perfect. I think Capcom had the X-Men license for the SNES. X-Men Mutant Apocalypse was pretty fun on the SNES, btw.

Actraiser 2 should've TOTALLY been named something else, like "Angels Strike!" or something

[@JohnRiggs]

ooh, I like that name. Can even be in the same universe and everything, I wouldn't mind.

[@rickylucas6503]

going from actraiser 1 to 2 was a real downer. i agree with the name change and agree it can be in the same universe. i wish actraiser can make a comeback.

Whoa! Haha, interesting to learn that Street Combat was just a reskin of Ranma 1/2!

Combatribes is a blast

You could also play three players on Secret of Mana but in addition to three controllers, you needed the special adapter to plug in three controllers as the SNES only had three controller plugins like with the NES.

Starlink was released on the Switch. It's kind of technically a Starfox game, right? 🤔
