Doom

I was taking to Kelly bro

And I forgive you

 

[Local Hero]

Doom

Also known as one of the worst ports in history

 

[Rick52]

not even the worst port of Doom, the fact they could get Doom to run on the SNES is a marvel in itself

Most people say either the 3DO or the SNES version are the worst

I mean I never heard anyone say "get out the SNES bro we're playing Doom"

 

[TD]

Illusion of Gaia

@Fool's Requiem

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Also known as one of the worst ports in history

Wolfenstein 3D or Medal of Honor Underground on the Gameboy Advance are the worst ports. Or almost any FPS ported to the GBA.

Stand by for pick.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Aladdin

 

[TD]

@Fire Queen

 

[Fire Queen]

ahem

Star Fox II

 

[Fool's Requiem]

ahem

Star Fox II

does that even count?

 

[TD]

Vash has previously said in the NES one that it needs to have been released officially during the console life cycle or something like that I think.

@VashTheStampede
Pinging him to give a verdict though.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Hmm.

The fact that it was released for a version of the SNES by  Nintendo themselves I think makes a good argument. The game was developed and completed during the original life cycle of the system as well, even if it didn't see release.

I think its kosher, a super special case.

Fire Queen making a habit of living just inside the margins is pretty fun.

 

[TD]

@Smacktard

You're the next contestant.

 

[Smacktard]

Ultimate Mortal Kombat III.

 

[TD]

@Joseph Snapple
You're up.

 

[Joseph Snapple]

Soul Blazer

 

[VashTheStampede]

@Jon Snake it up

 

[Fire Queen]

Same, I've exhausted the list of games I've actually played

 

[A Punched Face]

I'd still have a couple that I plated quite a bit, but I'm not even in this!

 

[Rick52]

I have several "not released in the US games (but also not the other Fire Emblems)" that I can still pick from but yeah I'm outta ideas for domestic releases (aside from a few where I prefer the Genesis version and don't feel right picking here)

 

[TD]

I'm still having a hard time because I played so many good games on the SNES. It was amazing.

 

[TD]

I'm going to be so upset if my next pick gets taken. It was one of two for my next one.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Same, I've exhausted the list of games I've actually played

I have a few that might never be named.

I'm surprised Doom was taken. The most notable thing about the port was that it used a red cartridge.

 

[Jon]

I'll round out round 6 with:

Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen

And I'll kick off round 7 I'll echo @Fool's Requiem and his mention of Doom's red cartridge with:

Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage

Because it's Spider-Man and he automatically wins.

Now I'm just going to hope my last pick stays on the board when I finish the draft in round 8 in a couple days.

 

[TD]

Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen

 

[TD]

@Joseph Snapple

 

[Jon]

My sorry

 

[VashTheStampede]

Maximum Carnage was the shit

I played on Genesis though

 

[TD]

My sorry

All good. Honestly thought it would come back to me so I took Gaia. Great pick though. It's what really made strategy RPGs start to jump out to me.

 

[Joseph Snapple]

Fatal Fury Special

 

[TD]

@Smacktard

 

[Joseph Snapple]

if it makes anyone involved feel better I'd have taken ogre battle with my last pick if Jon hadn't, it was never getting back to TD lol

 

[TD]

It does make me feel both better and regret.

 

[Smacktard]

Castlevania: Dracula X

 

[TD]

I need to stop thinking about what I might take next.



@Fire Queen

 

[Joseph Snapple]

I need to stop thinking about what I might take next.



@Fire Queen

The wait and anticipation for my final pick is already miserable

 

[Smacktard]

I know my last pick too. I don't think anyone will take it, but if they do, I have a back-up.

 

[A Punched Face]

Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen

This was one of the ones I was thinking of. Good pick.

 

[Fire Queen]

puzzle time!

Kirby's Avalanche

 

[TD]

@Fool's Requiem

 

[Fool's Requiem]

R-Type III: The Third Lightning

 

[TD]

SNES was so deep for RPGs.

Shadowrun

 

[TD]

@xDXxAscension

 

[Joseph Snapple]

R-Type III: The Third Lightning

I had admittedly been tempted to grab this one just to monopolize shmups lol

 

[Smacktard]

SNES was so deep for RPGs.

Shadowrun

I don't know this one

 

[VashTheStampede]

I don't know this one

It's pretty cool, based on the TTRPG.

The Genesis version was a completely separate (and IMO superior) take on the property, which I thought was pretty cool.

It's basically cyberpunk + Tolkien
