Not to mention the amount of replays it can take. It has over 12 endings presumably,each one very different. You can even finish the game without Crono himself if I'm not mistaken. CT might be near to one of the best RPG's of all time, not just of the SNES. It has a very interestings story, brilliant battle system, and even cool graphics by Akira Toriyama, creater of Dragonball. Truly a perfect game.

If I'm thinking correctly, you can finish the game without Crono OR Magus....but that would prove to be quite difficult....for me at least...I used them and Frog to beat the game.

Well, you can completely forget to take Magus, so indeed, if that happens, and you lose Crono, then you can finish the game without them. I rarely play without Marle, for the need of a healer. But I confess, without either Crono or Magus, any of the many places you can fight the final boss is hard. Frog's not too bad as you mentioned though.

I used frog as my healer, but brute force against Lavos definitely worked.

Best RPG: Chrono Trigger
It can't be said enough. This game has to be the most awesome RPG for the SNES (It is a close tie to FF7 as to which is the best ever)
Close Second is Bahemut Lagoon (only released in Japan but there is a rom with an english translation going around) Made by Squaresoft (they made Chrono Trigger too) this is a strategy/turn based rpg that involved the use of dragons.

Best Graphics: Donkey Kong Country 3
Its crazy that they could do this with the hardware they had. The graphics are smooth and beautiful.


Best Fighter: Street fighter Alpha 2
I have loved the Street Fighter series for ever and I like this game especially due to its range of characters.

Best Platformer: Super Mario World
Just the fact that they are still making ports of it up into the 2000s shows how awesome it is.


Best Action Game: Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past
The 2nd best Zelda game of all time. This game redefined the series and it was accessible to everyone.


Best Under Appreciated Game: The Firemen
Yes it sounds gay and some of you might be wondering WTF is it but its actually fun and challenging. It looks really cartoonish but it has GREAT game play. (get the rom and just try it)

Best Racing Game: F-Zero
I remember me and my brother playing this game over and over. It didn't have many bells and whistles but it leaves an impression on you none the less.

Best Sim game: SimCity
You can play this for hours building many different cities and keeping up with loads of different stats and even cleaning up when natural disasters or Godzilla hits town.

Best Side Scrolling Smash-um-up: Battletoads in battlemaniacs
Who wouldn't like to be a huge toad bashing on pigs with over sized body parts? (Characters are awesome)

Best 2 player game (co-op): Zombies Ate My Neighbor
Bashing zombies with pop grenades and other every day objects with a friend, it just doesn't get any better then that.

Other great games:
Act Raiser (action)
Breath of Fire (RPG)
Breath of Fire II (RPG)
Captian America and the Avengers (side scrolling bash-um-up)
Earthbound (RPG)
Lost Vikings (strategy/action)
Secret of Mana (action/RPG)
Secret of Evermore (RPG) (Seriouslly underrated, really good RPG about a boy and his dog. The items system is fun and awesome)
Shadowrun (RPG)
The Simpsons, Bart's Nightmare (action)
Star Fox (flying)
Star Ocean (RPG)
StreetFighter II (fighter)
Super Double Dragon (Side Scrolling Bash-um-up)
Super Mario Cart (racing)
Super Mario RPG - Legend of the 7 Stars (RPG/Platformer)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Turtles in Time (Side Scrolling Bash-um-up)

I have a lot of favorites, Chrono Trigger would have to be the best SNES RPG I've played, though I haven't played many. I personally think it's better than FF7, of course, I'm not exactly a fan of Final Fantasy either, the "Tales of" series is WAY better! Legend of Zelda: Link to the past was also awesome, best adventure game for the SNES I'd say.

Street Fighter 2, Secret of Mana, Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger. In my opinion I believe these were the best game of Snes all time. A few more that could fall under this list would be like Donkey Kong Country series, Super Mario Kart and Star Ocean. But then again I wasn't really a big fan of the Snes as I didn't actually own one but had to go over a friends house to play. Nes is my original system and fave comparing to the newer nintendo systems.
