Starfox 1993. Almost always overlooked in favour of its more lavish N64 successor, the SNES original is still an excellent space epic with awesome bosses, fantastic music, and a very well balanced level of challenge. It's also a watershed technological milestone in the home console space that I feel actually holds up better than the 3D of the N64 era thanks to its simple flat shaded polygons mixed with appealing 16-bit sprite work. ireadtabloids: If they had access to the Super FX chip they were using for DOOM and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s island two years later then I feel that game would have captured the attention of a lot more people. The frame rate cost of the first version of the chip they created made the game a bit more challenging for me to play and get into.
