I strangely haven’t been in the mood recently to play anything other than emulated NES/SNES-era games. I’m open to recommedations (yes, I already played CronoTrigger).

I assume you’ve already played Final Fantasy VI?

Actually I think I haven’t played that one yet.

If you want the SNES emulation flavour I am a big fan of the Woolsey Uncensored romhack. So much of the 90s Final Fantasy charm (in the west) came from Woolsey’s uniquely creative translations, and it’s a shame to miss out on it in my opinion.

If you prefer the Pixel Remaster version there is a mod to use the Woolsey Uncensored script instead for that one too. I haven’t tested that one personally but it could potentially be the best of both worlds if it works.

Kind’ve an odd suggestion, but if you like more arcade-y type games, and think you’d an enjoy a more advanced sorta spiritual successor to dig-dug, I’d recommend checking out Mr.Do! On the SNES. Weirdly good.

Sunset Riders is a fun and short western arcade shooter, as is Wild Guns.

There’s also a pretty neat Shadowrun RPG on the SNES.

Ah yeah I played Shadowrun as a kid. I think I might still have that cartridge somewhere.

Mr. Do doesn’t seem to be in my list of roms though. I may need look for that.

Being the usual suspects:

Front Mission, if you like tactical RPGs (ie. where you move characters on a grid game map during battles).
