At a time when licenced games were ten-a-penny (and awful to boot), Disney’s Goof Troop was released to little fan-fare and cast aside as yet another kiddy game. This game is a perfect example of not judging the book, or game, by it’s cover. It’s linear, but the storyline is worth the slog through. If you’re a fan of RPGs and never tried this out, you owe it to yourself to do so. Collectables are a part of the game if that’s your thing, the soundtrack is cute at times, epic at others and the cast are very likeable. The game doesn’t follow your usual turn-based RPG rules, instead opting for an action based battle system, a mish-mash of Zelda games and Alundra. The game would see you as the hero Will traversing across the globe visiting ancient sites like Angkor Wat, the Great Wall of China, and the Pyramids of Egypt acquiring pieces to a puzzle which can only be solved in the Tower of Babel. Either way, I hope you take something from this and appreciate the SNES even more the classic console it is.Ī game which has been vastly over-looked over the years, Illusion of Time (or Gaia depending on which region you’re playing) was an awesome RPG which came with a very unique setting and storyline revolving around a version of our Earth mired in an age of exploration. Naturally, this is more of a personal faves list of mine so don’t go into conniptions because I didn’t list EVO, Saturday Night Slam Masters or Live a Live! Simply enjoy reading through a list of games you may not have heard of, or maybe you just shrugged them off after judging them by what they looked like. The titles that weren’t played by the casual Nintendo fans. However, there are so many other classics on the machine that for the most part went by quietly and didn’t hit the sales figures that the well-known hits did. Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart (anything with Super in it really), the list goes on where the SNES is concerned. We all know about the likes of the classics.
