What a Jump!
Wow! A Zelda on a 16 bit system? That's what I said at first when I found out that a new game in the series was coming to the SNES, and what a surprise it was! Those of us who have been with Link since the old school days of "The Legend of Zelda" really appreciated this one when it came out. The graphics were intense the plot was deep, and there were so many new things to find. A person could immerse themselves in this game for hours and even days on end without stopping to eat, sleep, or use the bathroom (yes that was me, well almost). I remeber the countless hours I spent finding heart containers, weapons, and other things in this game, along with all of the good memories that it brought as well. The dungeons seemed immense and endless with the multiple floors that were introduced in this game, and continued throughout the series. I highly recommend this game, and as with everyone else that fell in love with the Zelda series this game is one of my most prized games and I will hold in my collection as long as I live.

A Link to the Past: Games don't get better than this!
This is, by far, the best adventure-based video game of all time. Sure, the graphics aren't 3-dimensional, but the game was released for Super Nintendo twelve years ago! What do you expect? The plot is as follows (don't worry, I won't spoil everything):
Princess Zelda is trapped somewhere in a deep dungeon, and talks to a young boy named Link through his dreams. She is asking him for help...But where is she? Link's uncle rushes out into the stormy night and to Hyrule Castle, and Link secretly follows, but only to find his uncle lying on the ground in the castle! This is only the beginning of the adventure...
In this game, there's action, adventure, and awesome revelations! Collect cool equipment such as the legendary Master Sword, meet new friends and enemies along the way,and even find a sinister, parallel world...
Please don't miss out on this game!

An instant classic
Zelda LTP is one of the best games ever made. The plot is superb in every way. The level desighn is off the chart. This game truly deserves some credit. I was so addictive to this game when I first got it which was round 1996. The Game was simply a masterpiece. The controls for the snes was good I really had fun with it acctually.

If you're looking for a classic to find and buy Go and buy this...Trust me this is a classic...The game doesn't cotst much either.

Overall
Gameplay 5/5

story 5/5
Graphics ...mmm well it is a pretty old game I still give it a 5/5..

Editorial Review

Zombies, an old mansion, and limited ammo. What more could you want? Resident Evil: Director's Cut plunges you into the world of B-grade zombie flicks, and does a first-class job of it. From the cheesy dialogue and voice acting to the confusing camera angles, you'll jump and squirm through a series of mind-numbing puzzles and heart-pounding attacks. The trick is: conserve your ammo, and learn to run.

The game is interspersed with movie-style cut scenes that all too often annoy rather than elucidate. The gist of the story is this: you and your special forces teammates have come to investigate the disappearance of the last team, and you have no idea what you're getting into. You spend the rest of the game trying to find your way out of the mansion in which you're trapped. The bottom line: If you like zombie flicks, buy it, play it, love it. And the best part--try blowing the zombie dogs' heads off with the bazooka. --John Cocking

Pros:

• Scary sound, camera angles, horror-movie action
• Sense of dread, dropping ammo count
• Zombies

• Horrible dialogue
• Back-tracking for puzzles
• The bazooka won't blow open a door

Editorial Review

Mario Kart 64, one of the first games released for the Nintendo 64platform, is an updated translation of the very popular Super Mario Kart for theSuper NES (SNES). And while the game clearly takes full advantage of the graphicspower and speed of the N64, a few components that made the original so compellinghave been left out of this release.

Still, Nintendo's expertise at sucking players into the game world is strongly evident, andMario Kart 64 offers enough challenges to keep players (especially casualgamers) entertained. Placing a familiar Nintendo personality behind the wheel of asputtering kart powered by a 50, 100, or 150-cc engine, the game lets players racecomputerized opponents or up to four other players on a variety of well-designed tracks.Because karts lack the power and speed of race cars, drivers must focus on collectingpower-ups and nonlethal weapons rather than negotiating hairpin turns on two wheels.Grabbing and using on-track items is the heart of the game's fun: a strategically-placedbanana peel sends the unlucky victim into a spin, nailing an opponent with a turtle shelllaunches their vehicle skyward, and a rocket provides a quick boost to near-breakneckspeeds, if only for a moment.

The multiplayer mode provides enormously chaotic fun for up to four players--flip it onat a party and watch the guests congregate around the screen. --Eric Twelker

Pros:

• Well-designed tracks
• Simple controls
• Strong multiplayer appeal

• Computerized opponents sometimes pull off questionable feats

Almost as much fun as the first one
It's too bad Konami never released an arcade-perfect version of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game on the SNES. Actually this one isn't a perfect translation either, as it's missing some digitized voices. A playable April wouldn't have hurt either, but at least she doesn't get kidnapped.
Anywho, although the title may be (sic) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, that's only because there were three TMNT games previously released on the original Nintendo Entertainment System (not counting Tournament Fighters). This is actually the second game released in the arcades.
Now for the actual review. The game takes you through, uh, I dunno, 15-or-so levels of repetitive non-stop action (double entendre? you decide). As usual, you get to choose between Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael (sorry, Venus, you weren't here yet). The subtitle, Turtles in Time, comes into play when you almost defeat Shredder and then are hurled back through time to 100,000,000,000,000-or-so B.C., then forward to 15??, 18??, 20??, 2???, then back to 1993 where you fight Shredder for supposedly the last time. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

The best TMNT game ever made!
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time" has always been one of my favorite Super Nintendo games. If you've ever liked the earlier TMNT games for the regular Nintendo, or TMNT 2 in the arcades, you'll definitely like "Turtles In Time." The object of the game is to eventually get to the Technodrome and defeat Shredder. There are a lot of challenging and fun levels that you'll have to get past before you even get close to Shredder. The levels range from a dinosaur level where the foot soldiers ride stampeding dinosaurs and try to run over you, to a level where you're inside a train and you have to battle a boss in the form of a crocodile, and even some fun bonus levels.

"Turtles In Time" is a great game in every way. You can defeat most of the enemies with punches, kicks, jump kicks, powerup moves, and my favorite, by throwing them at the screen. At the end of every level are some familiar bosses such as Krang, Rocksteady, and Shredder, and even some new bosses that have never been seen before in any other TMNT game. The graphics in "Turtles In Time" are impressive and colorful, the sound and music goes good with the levels, the control is top notch, and best of all, it's one of the most fun games available for the Super Nintendo.

You can play "Turtles In Time" either one player or two player, either way it's jammed with fun. The game overall isn't too easy or impossibly hard, it's perfect when it comes to the challenge. Even after you beat the game, it's still a lot of fun to start over and beat it again or play 2 player. Even after playing the game for over 5 years, I still like playing it every now and then. If you have a Super Nintendo and if you like action/adventure games or side scrolling fighting games, "Turtles In Time" is a must have!

Better than the Arcade version!
I can't help all u people saying that this is a perfect translaion from second TMNT Arcade game from Konami! This is very, but not totally, different. Here is why ---

*The Arcade has no Technodrome as scene 4. You just skip right to Prehistoric Turtlesaurus after Sewer Surfin'. I hated this, The Technodrome is my favorite level.

*There is no Bepob, Rocksteady or Slash in the Arcade. And they made up some new characters.

*Plus there are a lot of other small differences.

Features

• Exploration adventure game with good old Mario
• Hunt dinosaur eggs with Yoshi
• Featuring 74 areas in seven different castles
• Lots of special power-up items
• For 1 or 2 players

The game that started the SNES's glorious run
When the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES for short) first came out in the early 90's, it had a great lineup of launch titles to easily make it the new best seller. Super Mario World was the first, and probably the best of these launch titles for the SNES.

Just like Mario and Luigi did for the Super Mario Brothers titles on the NES, they are still collecting tons of gold coins, Bowser is still their biggest enemy, and the Princess is waiting to be rescued once again. Only this time around, their journey along the way to Bowser and the Princess will be a bit different.

There are many new experiences to be held in Super Mario World. This is the game where the Mario clan first meets and uses Yoshi, the worlds and levels are bigger than ever, and the Mario brothers even have new abilities such as new flying techniques.

Super Mario World is more like Super Mario Brothers 3 than any of the previous Mario adventures. You can play by yourself in a one-player game, or with a friend in a two-player game at any time. You can guide either Mario or Luigi through the 7 different world maps that are full of different kinds of memorable levels.

Among these levels are haunted ghost houses, underwater environments, underground stages, a secret "Star Road," various other secret stages, a castle (one in each world) that houses the world's main Koopa boss, and so much more.

For the time, Super Mario World had spectacular graphics, great sounds and music, top-notch control, and overflowing replay value and fun. It's easy for any player of any age to find out what needs to be done once they start playing this 2D action/adventure. All you really have to do is get past all the interesting enemies and get to the end of all the levels.

All in all, Super Mario World is one of the best video games ever made, and it always will be! It's the game that started the Super Nintendo on the right foot, and now, it's a major classic. I wish they still made video games like this.

If you're a fan of action/adventure games, platformers, or the classic 2D side scrollers (which I miss more than anything in today's games), Super Mario World is a definite must have!!

The Amazing Classic Kart Racer Game
One word:classic.Super Mario Kart Has been a favorite game to me since it came out.With different modes like Time Trial and Mario GP (Grand Prix)It easily became the favorite game for America to play.You can choose from eight characters:Mario,Luigi,Princess,Bowser,Toad,Yoshi,Koopa Troopa and Donkey Kong Jr.My personal favorite was Luigi.In Time Trial you can pick races in the Star cup the Flower cup or the Mushroom Cup.Also in the GP you can choose from those cups.There is three modes to race in for the Grand Prix:50cc,100cc and 150cc but you unlock 150cc by beating the game.When you get trophys for beating 100cc you will get a secret cup.Dont be fooled the secret cup is very hard.When you get first place in the secret cup you will beat the game and unlock 150cc.Then once you beat 150cc only then will you be the greatest master of Super Mario Kart.So to end a long story the game is pure classic fun.

I am going to start off by saying, "I looooove Mario!"
I mean, what Nintendo gamefreak doesn't?!?!? I've grown up with his games and continue to support Nintendo, however, I will start to right this review.

Beware, I will be brutally HONEST about this game. Super Mario Kart, as you should know, is Mario's debut in a racing game. He along with Peach, Luigi, Yoshi, DK Jr., Bowser, Koopa and Toad, will race to the finish line.

This game is very fun if you are playing with another player say for instance, in battle. I honestly found that to be the funnest part of the game. However, being me, (note I don't have the game, I've played it several times though) I usually am stuck playing a game by myself because my little bro doesn't play with me and my older bro usually doesn't have any taste whatsoever in gaming like I do! It [is too bad] but that's life. Sorry about giving you a little TOO much backround but, I indeed had a point. That point is playing alone is fun too, but the CPU AI is quite unbelievable and may leave you trying over and over to beat the Star Cup (if you can even get there), or wanting to break the damn game.

Overall, it's an approachable game, BUT i warn you now, if you are looking for a easier racing game, don't bother with this one!

fun as a 2-player game
BOY was Super Mario Kart talked about by just about everyone when it first hit the shelves. "Mario is now racing! Along with all his friends!"

Let's move forward to the year 2004. Is it still good? Yes, but on 2-player mode only. I think the 2-player battle mode (where you defeat your opponent by hitting them with turtle shells) is still quite fun. But, I don't see any of my high school friends anymore, so I'm all alone now. And as a 1-player game, Super Mario Kart doesn't give me much satisfaction anymore. Too many awesome racing games have come out since Super Mario Kart, including the newer Super Mario Kart on the Gamecube.

It Don't Get Much Better Than This
When rumours of new 32-bit consoles were becoming a reality many fans began to forget about the Snes, that was of course until the release of 'Donkey Kong Country'. A game so ahead of it's time that at it's first E3 showing many reporters mistook it for a N64 game.

With a revolutionary graphics engine and fantastic gameplay to boot, 'Dkc' took the gaming world by storm and indeed acted as the final nail in the Megadrives coffin. Also notable is that this was the first 'Big hit' from gaming giants Rare who would follow with the classics 'Goldeneye' and 'Perfect Dark'.

Another important point is that this game 'is' completely without flaws, the rendering is perfect and the games music is one of the best soundtracks ever recorded. In technical retrospect 'Dkc' is a 2d sidescroller with a 3d graphics overhaul, in English any fan of platformers should not be without this inspirational classic.

'Donkey Kong Country' was also the largest ever cartridge at the time carrying a massive (at the time) 32mb, and 'til this very day the game remains a classic. If you still have a Snes or your a retro gaming fan like myself you should pick this up as soon as possible.

One of the Top 5 Games of all time!
Play this and remember it was made in 1994 look at the graphics! Donkey Kong Country shocked the world in 1994 with its revoulutionary garphics, but also shocked it with its gameplay sound...just about everything! Even today the graphics are still better than some of new Playstation games. If you like gorillas, or just like video games youll love playing as Donkey and Diddy. Your not a true video game fan if you donrt like Donkey Kong Country. Also play the 2 sequels which are both excellent. Get it immediatley if you dont have it!

SNES AT IT'S BEST!
Donkey kong country is one of the coolest games I have ever played...I played this awhile ago...Back when SNES just came out and I happend to buy this game...Well acctually my dad got it for me as a gift...This game was off the hook.

The gameplay was original. Same with characters and eveything.
The lengh of the game was great...Not too long but great...
The controls were easy to use...learn in about, what...4 minutes.

DKC was probably the best DK game ever..

If you like DKC then get the second one..It's got all the same of 1 but with some some new stuff mixed with it...This is a GREAT game!

Get it if you're an SNES fan such as myself...Get it if you can find it...

The revolution continues!
Donkey Kong Country. Few games have made the impact on the video game market that one did. Who would've thought that a 16-bit console would be able to generate beautiful, fully-rendered, two-and-a-half dimension graphics? And, just one year later, Rare whipped out a sequel! Read on to see how it measures up.

Graphics: 5/5
In a word - beautiful. The best graphics on the Super Nintendo, period! The only other games that looked this good on the system were the other games in the series and the ones that used this technology. This puts the old Super FX chip to shame. Hell, this game looks better than most early 32-bit games!

Play Control: 4.25/5
It takes a little getting used to at first, controlling the characters, but you adjust to it fast. Diddy is slightly more powerful than Dixie, but she can use a "lunar descent" technique with her hair. Likewise, each character can throw the other into hidden areas. If you've got both characters, you can switch between them. There are also animals you can ride, on which the controls are very basic.

Challenge: 4.25/5
It's a tougher game than its predecessor, and like that title, it becomes annoying when a save point isn't anywhere near you. There are hidden bonus stages in every level, and a side quest is to complete them all, and use the coins you find there to unlock a lost world. That's the REAL challenge. In all, you must uncover 102% of the hidden areas.

Theme/Fun: 4.5/5
It's a great game, plain and simple. Easy to learn, highly addictive, and just plain fun. Enough said.

Storyline: 3/5
Donkey Kong's gets kidnapped by King K. Rool and is being held prisoner aboard his flying craft. Diddy and Dixie set out to rescue him. Simple storyline; it's as old as video games.

Music: 4.5/5
It's very rare the music in a game is so good a soundtrack is made for it, but this is one of those instances.

Overall: 4.25/5
It's a gaming revolution. Who would've thought such beautiful graphics could come from a 16-bit system? Only Nintendo and Rare could pull it off. If you've got an SNES, this is well worth buying.

DONKEY KONG COUNTRY 2 DIDDY'S KONG QUEST
WELL,WHEN I FIRST SAW THE GAME ON TV IN HALF OF 1994 AND WHEN 1995 CAME I THOUGHT MAYBE I'LL LIKE THIS GAME IT MIGHT BE CHALLENGING TO ME SO WHEN I CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL I SAID TOO MY SISTER SO UM DID YOU RENT DONKEY KONG COUNTRY 2 AND SHE SAID NO AND I ASK HER AGAIN AND WHEN I WENT IN TO MY ROOM WHERE THE GAME WAS AND WHEN I LOOK DOWN ON THE FLOOR I SAW IT AND I WAS SURPRISED AT THAT GAME SO AND I WAS LIKE HOW DID YOU GET HERE AND HERE'S DONKEY KONG COUNTRY HERE TO AND YOUR HERE NICE TOO MEET YOU DONKEY KONG COUNTRY 2 AND SO WHEN WE PLAYED IT IT LOOKED INTERESTING AND PIRATEY TO ME AND WE BEAT SOME OF THE LEVELS LIKE UM USUALLY LEVELS WE GO TO IS 1-2-3 AND SOMETIMES LEVEL 4 AND WHEN I PLAYED IT IN 1996 IT SEEMS THAT I WENT TO LEVEL 5 AND IT WAS HARD AND THE N LEVEL 6 AND LEVEL 7 AND FINAL SHOWDOWN WITH KAPTAIN KING ROOL AND THEN I FINISHED THE GAME IN MY 6TH GRADE YEAR AND LEVEL 8 GOT SOME OF IT DONE TOO SO IT WAS INTERESING TOO.

It's hard to believe that this is only 16 bit
For a 16 bit game, this rocks. Interesting set of characters, phenominal graphics, and outstanding music once again proves why the SNES is one of the all time greatest systems. As in controls this title utilizes every button available (9 total) to unleash incredible combos that makes this the fighting game to own.
That is not to say that this game doesn't have it's flaws. For example the difficulty is set (even on easy) to where a casual gamer just can't pick this up and play. The training mode is lackluster, and combos are difficult to pull off. Also despite how cool the music is, it doesn't always fit the area your fighing in. However overall it works just fine.
Looking at characters there is a nice variety. You have cyborgs, ninjas, assassins, mutants, aliens, lycanthropies, and even a skeleton (who has the funniest ending). No move is duplicated, each has their own set of specials and combos. However the finishing taunt (won't spoil it) is a little dumb, and the finishers are OK at best.
In the end Killer Instinct is a nice game to purchase, it will take a lot of practice to beat the final boss but it is so worth it if you win.

Gotta be the most overhyped game on the SNES
In the nineties, fighting games became extremely popular due to the successes of the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat franchises. Even the British Rare corporation, best known for the highly advanced graphic work they had used in games like Donkey Kong Country, wanted to try their hand at making one. And in the mid nineties, Killer Instinct arrived. How does it measure up? Read on and find out.

PROS:
-GRAPHICALLY, THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST LOOKING GAMES ON THE SUPER NINTENDO. The advanced graphic stylings that worked wonders on games like Donkey Kong Country work very well here.
-THE GAME HAS AN INTERESTING CAST OF CHARACTERS. Let's see. We've got a boxer, a skeleton, a werewolf, and even a robot, plus many more. The cast of characters is one of the game's strengths.
-EACH CHARACTER HAS HIS OR HER OWN SPECIAL MOVES. No two characters pay exactly alike.
-EACH CHARACTER HAS A FINISHING MOVE. Some of these are actually pretty interesting (Orchid's is particularly humorous.)

CONS:
-THE GAME IS HORRIBLY UNORIGINAL. The six-button fighting scheme is ripped off from Street Fighter, and the fatalities are ripped of from Mortal Kombat. And honestly, how many rip-offs of these two games do we need?
-THE CONTROL SEEMS WEAK WHEN COMPARED TO THE TWO GAMES THIS ONE RIPS OFF. Because of this, the controls come off seeming unfinished in their performance.
-LIFE BARS DON'T REGENERATE BETWEEN ROUNDS. In other words, the battles will go completely onesided, and a comeback is virtually impossible if you're getting massacred.

OVERALL:
Steer clear of this game. If you want good fighting games, stick with the two franchises that this game ripped off. This was an interesting venture for Rare - it just wasn't a very good game.

No other fighter comes close.
First of all, I mean no other fighting game matches this one in replay value, due to insane combos (of which there are many different variations), great "No Mercy" (finishing) moves and a great cast of characters. I was a fan from the moment I played it for the first time, and 10 years later it is still without a doubt my favorite game of all-time. Do not be mistaken though, I am not saying all of the other fighters out there are bad(Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat are also 5 star fighters), but when Killer Instinct hit the arcades there was nothing like it, at least in my opinion. The graphics were beautiful, the combos were amazing and it seemed like an all around original game.

THE GREATEST SNES GAME EVER CREATED!!!
Yoshis Island ruled! When this game first came out I went and baught it! God it braught back some awesome memory...You play as yoshi and have baby mario on your back..I won't tell you the rest of it since you can just read other reviewers.

This game is friken awesome and fun as hell. The game is not a tad bit boring and the game is quiet long, well I can't remember since I played the game about what 8 years ago and I'm trying to find a SNES system for like NOW since my SNES broke down er' just Broke awhile ago but I happend to borrow a friends SNES and this game friken rocks the house man!

The game play is extreamly fun and the characters are great...ESPECCIALLY BABY MARIO! HE RULES!

Over all I would give this SNES Masterpiece 10/10...Or 5/5 in amazons review...

GO OUT AND BUY THIS INCREDIBLE GAME!...Besides Super Metroid.....If you can find it...

Later..

what you need to know.
when purchasing this you must have the turbo gun/controller. if you don't own it don't buy it.

alas money wasted.

One of the best SNES games ever
Many of you are familiar with the first ever Mario game on Nintendo and Super Mario World on Super Nintendo. For those of you who have never played Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, you definitely should. Nintendo changed this game a lot form the previous version, but didn't ruin the amount of fun it provides.

In Yoshi's Island you are Yoshi and you go through the levels with Baby Mario sitting on your back. If you get hit by an enemy then you lose Baby Mario and he starts to cry, but you have 10 seconds to get him back. If the timer runs down to zero, he is kidnapped and you lose a life. As Yoshi you can "eat" the enemies and they become eggs which you can shoot at other enemies and at bonus clouds that hold coins, stars or flowers. Every red coin that you get that is hidden throughout each stage it worth one point to your score. Each star you collect adds one second to your timer. And each flower gives you 10 points. If you collect all 5 flowers in a stage you get an extra life, similar to collecting the Yoshi coins in the first Super Mario World. You can earn up to 100 points for each level (50 for all the flowers, 30 for all the red coins, and 20 for all the stars). If you get 100 points for each level in the game, you can unlock secret levels that are really awesome!

The one that started it all...
In the early nineties Capcom released Street Fighter II. Surprisingly the game had a number of sequels, but rather than full sequels they were basically just rehashes of previous games. Surprisingly this style worked pretty well. Read on to see why this game is so cool.

Graphics: 4/5
VERY good for a Super Nintendo title. The graphics of the arcade are reproduced excellently.

Play Control: N/A
All Street Fighter titles have adjustable control.

Challenge: N/A
Street Fighter titles feature adjustable difficulty. However, you get a better ending on higher difficulties, and a worse one on lower difficulties.

Theme/Fun: 3/5
Street Fighter is the game that revolutionized one-on-one fighting games. Below is a list of the Street Fighter II titles, and the improvements each one made on its predecessor.
-Street Fighter II: The first one
-Street Fighter II Champion Edition: Basically the same game, but players can be the same character (accordingly each character has two costumes), and you can play as the "bosses".
-Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting: Once again, basically the same as the previous game. However, this game features a secondary costume for each character different from the one in the last game, and you can use the Turbo function to make the action must faster. Some characters have new attacks.
-Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers: This game is like the last ones, but features improved graphics, music, sound, and just about everything else. There are four new characters. Some characters have new attacks. However, it's lacking the Turbo mode. Each character has a phenomenal EIGHT costumes, and his or her own voice actor!
-Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Basically the same as the last game but with the Turbo option back. Some characters have new default costumes and attacks.

Storyline: 2.5/5
Basically fight to become the world's fighting champion. It's a horribly dated story, but the gameplay makes up for it.

Sound/Music: 3.5/5
Most sounds and tunes are mediocre, but a few, mainly the one in Vega's stage, stand out.

Overall: 4/5
This is an excellent fighting game for the Super Nintendo. However, if you only get one Super Nintendo Street Fighter title, I would make it Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers.

Good game, but not the best Street Fighter
I've always liked the Street Fighter games a lot. A few years ago, one of my friends gave me Street Fighter II for the Super Nintendo, and it's good in most ways. The graphics and backgrounds were good for the time, the control is responsive, and it has cool sounds, sound effects, and music. The fighting in the game with the regular moves such as the punches and kicks, and the special moves such as the fireballs, Blanka's electricity, the fast kicks, etc. make this game a lot of fun. But it's not the best Street Fighter game ever made. In fact, it's not even the best of the Street Fighter II games. My only complaint is that it's a real slow fighting game. If you like fighting games, I would recommend getting Street Fighter II, but I would recommend one of the faster Street Fighter games such as Street Fighter II Turbo, which is the same as this game, but A LOT faster.

Still the best
This landmark FPS has likely owned more of my life than any other single activity, no exaggeration. Of all the Dooms currently in full release, this is my favorite. It's larger, it's harder, it's eviller, and it's got more lovable carnage than you can shake a chainsaw at.

During the peak of the Doom craze in the mid/late 90s, I was part of that group of hopeless addicts who lived and breathed Doom day in and day out, loving it all the way (at least until I developed chronic headaches and had to give it up). What gives Doom 2 such a charm for me? Well, it has everything the first game has, except possibly the "classic" feel that still sends me back to the original on occasion. Now, some have complained that not enough new things were added to this game. I have decided, however, that the real important change is in the style of level design. They are more maze-like, they are much more difficult, and the puzzles are more complex. And, as the later levels attest, they are much, much weirder. For the level-builders among us, the new triggers and the higher 256-linedef visibility limit allows us more possibility for design than the original. The super-shotgun is a fantastic edition, allowing the player to economize bullets when facing enemies such as the demon/specter and the chaingun zombie. Some of the added enemies are rather annoying, such as the Revenant, the Pain Elemental, and the menacing Arch-Vile, who may be the most dangerous enemy in all of Doom. And then there's John Romero's head and the now-famous backwards announcement that greets players as they come upon the huge demon face in level 30...

After Doom 2, the flood of FPS's looking to capitalize on the craze traded in long-term gameplay value for nice-looking graphics and a few bells and whistles here and there. (A true heir would not appear until Half-life.) Doom, obviously, is very primitive compared to what we have today. But it has stood the test of time better than any other shooter, unquestionably. Years later, it's less about winning the game than it is about the sheer fun of shooting up a roomful of monsters. There's something undeniably pleasurable about the primal act of pulling a trigger and blowing away a demonspawn. Doom speaks to the animal within you. Therein lies its true worth.

Here is why people have still been playing it since 1995
The original Doom was such and incredible first person shooter they had to make a totally new 32 level Doom with lots more monsters, such as the Chain Gunner, the Pain Elemental, the Arch Vile and others, but still the same old weapons and graphics. My second point is the fact that they are still selling Doom 2, they are no longer selling the original Doom except for in a bundle. So since 1995 and the game is still around and selling strong, must mean something! So what is Doom 2? In Doom 2 you are a soldier just coming off of a mission in space (Doom 1), so you must return to planet Earth only to discover it has been taken over and then from there go into the heart of it all, Hades and destroy the monster behind it all. The levels are incredibly detailed with 100s of new wall textures, where you actually believe you are in a city slum overrun by monsters, and you go to the lair of the monsters to destroy the big bad bosses. With that being said, why are people still playing it? Because Doom 2 is the surface beneath it all is a whole community that supports Doom 2 by creating new levels, some easy and simple, others 64 levels of pure pain continuing the saga or starting a new saga, with new enemies, new wall textures and fun. There are even expansion packs sold with 1000s of new levels to keep you playing forever beyond the original Doom 2!

Doom 2 Forever. and Ever.
This game has changed the world. Before Doom 2 obviously was Doom. The game has introduced the FPS, or first person shooter. I myself have the doom collectors edition. It includes doom, doom 2, and Final Doom(TNT and the plutonia Experiment). Doom, however, is very old(over 10!) and doom 2 is turning 10 this year. Well, anyway, before my closing comment, i'd like to say this game is robably going to last for 10 more years(including Doom 3) until we are all writing on how legendary Doom 3 was and how it is all old. Aging is never a problem with games, its just if they are updated or not. Doom and Doom 2 were updated, with WADs, as you can create your own levels, episodes, and even games(such as final doom). My closing statement is:
