Some great picks so far!

As someone who grew up with Starfox on SNES and N64, and ranks both in my top 20 games to this day due to their epic space opera vibes, intense action, stellar soundtracks, and badass boss fights, I'll always have a special place in my heart for the series, even if there hasn't been a single good entry post-N64 in my opinion. 

Sin & Punishment would be up there too, as both games are brilliant and highly under-appreciated due to being rather niche. They're completely bonkers in the best way possible and gloriously intense, challenging, and varied.

I hear ya! I'm probably a bit older, as I went from Atari to NES, so Starfox came a bit "later" in my personal timeline lol. But I fell in love with it instantly and advocated for everybody I knew to go and play it. So, yeah, I agree that the series is a great choice, even though I prefer F-Zero. I also had a bit of a beef with Starfox 64, not because of the game itself - which was amazing -, but the stark departure in the soundtrack design. As far as I remember that was a tad frustrating for me.

Yeah F-Zero was awesome too; it's one of those rare franchises where I don't think it has a single bad entry, while X and GX are two of the most wildly fun racing games I've ever played.
