    Plok for SNES is pretty good.
    If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?

    You might want to try:

    Asterix
    Asterix and the Secret Mission
    Castle Of Illusion
    Land of Illusion
    Lucky Dime Caper

    on the Master System.
    These games tend to get overlooked.

It has multi-player, grappling hooks, and freakin' back-flips... dedicated to a button no-less! You can even play as that hairless pink thing. Definitely worth checking out.

    Donald Duck's Lucky Dime Caper is very good I enjoyed it a lot, very cool you'd have thought capcom made it or something really good, pity a lot of the disney games on the genny weren't as good,

    Castle Of Illusion
    Land of Illusion


    are they as good as their, genny counterparts? same game am I right? or different?

    Thanks Racoon

    I haven't played the Genny version of Land of Illusion, but the 8-bit version is a splendid little game. It might be a bit short, actually, but trying to track down the stars hidden throughout the levels adds some replay value.

    If you can still tolerate NES games, games like Ducktales, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, and Little Nemo are some of the best.

    Plok is an awesome game. Excellent graphics, possibly one of the most colorful games on the SNES period. Put this puppy on a RGB monitor, and the color is so intense your eyes will begin to water. And then there is the sound. Plok has amazing sound. Tim Follin did the soundtrack for Plok, and it was a masterpiece in my opinion. He also did Rock N Roll Racing and Equinox among others. It's funny how Plok doesn't get very many mentions, but I think it definitley belongs among the 100 best SNES games.
