Who here has ever played the infamous board game Clue?

As a kid this was one of my favorite board games to play with my brother and sister. It was therefore a highlight for me to have the game in SNES form when I can play against the A.I. or other friends in this format. It captured the vibe of playing the board game by bringing those suspects to life with their visual representation on the TV screen.

Clue for the Super Nintendo, released in 1992, it brings the classic murder mystery board game to life in a digital format. Players can step into the shoes of iconic characters like Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlet as they navigate the mansion, collect clues, and solve the mystery. Clue offers a nostalgic experience for fans of the original board game and video game enthusiasts alike.

So even though I had sold off most of my SNES, I still have a few left that are not strictly RPG’s.

Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage hopped onto the SNES scene in 1994, bringing the beloved Looney Tunes character to life in a whimsical action platformer.

Join Bugs Bunny as he faces off against classic Looney Tunes adversaries in a series of wacky challenges. The game is light-hearted & humorous, perfectly capturing the spirit of the beloved cartoon series.

Gameplay in Rabbit Rampage is a mix of platforming and puzzle-solving, with players guiding Bugs Bunny through various levels inspired by classic Looney Tunes settings. From dodging Elmer Fudd's traps to outsmarting Yosemite Sam, each level presents a unique challenge that will keep players entertained and engaged.

The colorful & cartoony graphics of Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage perfectly capture the charm and nostalgia of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons. Each character is faithfully recreated in sprite form, and the environments are filled with vibrant colors and whimsical details.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was called the RPG intro game and experienced enthusiasts did not like the simplicity at the time. I loved the game and its unique gameplay style when I bought it and now retro gamers are enjoying it moreso than when it released for the SNES in 1992.

It follows the typical story of a journey a young hero is tasked with saving the world from destruction. The narrative is straightforward yet engaging, making it accessible for newcomers to the RPG. Combat is turn-based, with a variety of weapons, spells, and abilities to master. The game also features puzzle-solving elements and a world map to explore.

While not groundbreaking, the graphics are colorful and charming, with detailed character sprites and vibrant environments that capture the essence of the Final Fantasy universe.

The soundtrack is a standout feature, composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu. Each track complements the gameplay perfectly, immersing players in the world of Mystic Quest.

Ultima: The False Prophet for the SNES was released on October 1, 1993.

So I was a little obsessed with the previous NES game Ultima: Quest of the Avatar. I already new I was into any RPG I could get my hands on. I had rented that NES game many times even if it was very hard to play and understand as a kid.

So, I assumed the next game would be even better as an upgrade for the SNES but unfortunately it didn’t live up to my expectations.

Not much is brought up with this series anymore. I guess this franchise is now permanently put to rest.

Have you ever tried any Ultima game?
