"After the almighty NES ran its course, Nintendo finally decided to step in to the 16-bit ring to take on their rival, the Sega Genesis. The battle between these titans still rages on today, but one thing’s for certain; the SNES has a ton of rare and expensive games. So let's dive into a collector’s wet dream."

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.
It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.
The upcoming Cronela's Mansion will launch on Switch, NES, Game Boy and SNES, with the latter now set to receive physical cartridges.
Atari has acquired Intellivision. The company announced today that it had acquired its long-time rival, ending one of the original console rivalries, dating back to the 1970s.
Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.
This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.
Good piece of history here.
edit: I wanted to read it but the cookies pop up is stopping me.
This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.
These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.
I had both. Snafu on Intellivision was addicting as hell. Also had Colecovision which had Time Pilot. Combat was probably my favorite Atari game and both Atari and Intellivision had similar games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. It’s been so long I don’t really remember which game I liked bettter out of those but I did play my Intellivision a bit more than Atari though I’m not sure why besides Snafu. That was 40+ years ago damn I’m old lol
Final Fight Guy I got it from my uncle who worked at blockbuster direct from Japan Orange box and all.

Hey Nizulo,
Can I just asked what this top ten list was based on? Or how you define rare? Did you look at total copies in print or price value?
I enjoyed the list but where are games like E.V.O and Aerofighters?
Quick thing about Noah's Ark: it's not a "rip-off" of Wolfenstein 3D - it is Wolfenstein 3D. Apparently, the game's developers might have made it as a middle finger to Nintendo. Watch the Angry Video Game Nerd's take on it for the specifics: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
