Streets of Rage 2 is not only one of the most important video games in the history of the genre, but it is truly a magnum opus simulation of how to live a successful and valuable life. To this day, I still engage in fights with random street toughs, before beating up mailboxes and abandoned steel drums, in the vain hope of finding that all important, life healing road apple or street turkey!

Earthworm Jim pushed the processor to its limits and maybe even beyond- but the result was fluid, with memorable music and sound effects that were akin to Looney Tunes… this game had it all-nostalgia, replay value, and that addictive gameplay. All set in a hilarious, zany universe of its own. Therefore, that would’ve been my number one.

I had to borrow Sonic for my unit didn’t come with it but my buddy’s did. Of course, I bought the popular games such as Madden Football, Zelda and Populous. Another mention would be Toe Jam and Earl. There was another game I played but bought it in a suburb of Tokyo called Akihabara. It was 8 square blocks of nothing but electronics. The game I bought I couldn’t tell you the name but it was a WWII turn based rpg type game. I had to figure out how to save and load games and also upgrade units by trial and error.

Streets of Rage, Contra, the Capcom ports... it was mainstream because it was awesome. It's hard to leave off some of the great sports games like NHL '94 that have stood the test of time, too!

There's been a Rocket Knight on SNES, called Sparkster. And Tails can't save us from holes in Sonic 2, we can only fly manually since Sonic 3. (Sorry I couldn't help but point it out. ^^' ) Anyway here's my top: 10. Shadow Dancer 9. Kid Chameleon 8. Quackshot 7. Gunstar Heroes 6. Ristar 5. Aladdin 4. Super Street Fighter 2 3. Flashback 2. Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 1. all Sonic's (I cheated a little, it's difficult enough to choose just 10 on my favorite 2D console. xD )

Yeah Sparkster for SNES is a great game, it's no worse than Rocket Knight Adventures for genesis. Also for SNES, Konami made a mash up game that plays exactly like rocket Knight Adventures but uses pop n Twinbee characters, called Pop n Twinbee Rainbow Bell Adventures. It's sort of like a Parodius version of the Sparkster series, very colourful and bright but it plays the same.
