I've never played E.V.O., but I'd have to say that Rock n Roll Racing was a brilliant game. I hope the GBA port is worth picking up, since I unfortunately do not own the original game.

ActRaiser is a neat game I recently purchased that's a blend between side-scrolling action elements and simulation bits. I've also been playing some of Super Metroid, which is certainly a must-have. Super Return of the Jedi, F-Zero, and Zelda: A Link to the Past are all fun games which I'm currently (eternally) borrowing from a friend of mine along with Super Metroid and Rock n Roll Racing.

What else... *peruse through collection* Final Fight has good beat-em-up action, though I hear it's better on other systems. Wario's Woods is an inventive spin as far as Tetris clones go. Super Castlevania IV, Super Ghouls n Ghosts, and Zombies Ate My Neighbors always scared the pee outta me when I was a wee lad, though I'm not sure if it was because of the scary bits or because I was (and still am) such a pathetic gamer.

Then there are my two favorite genres of games on the SNES: good ol' platform games, and games that involve a whole lot of shooting. Any Super Mario or Donkey Kong Country game is an excellent platform game, and Plok is a good one that was often overlooked. And as far as the shooting goes, I'm not picky: Strike Gunner STG, Darius Twin, Phalanx, Super R-Type, etc. Yummy.

Thank you for giving me the excuse to incoherently ramble, and hey - if any of you have a copy of Donkey Kong Country 3 you don't want, I'll buy it.
