    F-Zero
    I always thought the F stands for Formula 0. Basically a play on the Formula 1 racing and Formula 2 and so on. Because Formula 1 is the highest class in racing of today, F-0 means its higher than that (we programmers also start counting at 0).

    Populous!!! I was absolutely addicted to Populous!
    There were something like 989 levels, and I may have played them all. There was just something about watching your tribe grow while trying to mess with the enemy tribe, and there were so many options on any given level…. Ten different landscapes, ten different types of people and numerous ‘god-like’ powers at your disposal.
    Because the types of people and landscapes had different strengths and weaknesses, there were so many different combinations for the game to create. Combining that with the variable of which god powers you had access to depending on the level, made for some very challenging levels and the variety kept me playing over and over again.

    Great list, however, you left out two classics: The Addam's Family (A platformer published by Ocean and released in 1992.) The game is easily one of my favorite Snes games of all time. You basically go around exploring the Addam's family mansion as Gomez and rescue your family members. Its a very open ended style of game and you can play the various levels in any order you like. The other game I wish you had on your list is "Lufia and the Fortress of Doom". Released in 1993, its a classic rpg with big colorful sprites and a great storyline.

    FF2 vs FF3 - You're giving into the nostalgia and I know b/c I struggled with it, too.
    FF2 was great but FF3 was fantastic.
    If you step back and look at both objectively, I don't think you'll put 2 above 3.
    And that's because 3 took everything great about 2 and went further with it.
    But yes, FF2 is one of the all time greatest FF titles. No argument there.

    You wanna know the reason why THQ games felt like LJN games. When LJN was bought out by Akklaim, shortly after that the director of LJN left and split from Akklaim/LJN and actually started THQ. So that's the reason THQ during that period felt like you were playing LJN games, because the man behind those horrible LJN games was the Founder of THQ lol.
