August 23rd marked the 30th anniversary of the Super Nintendo in North America.
Considered by many to be the greatest console ever, even kids who grew up on the SEGA side have to give it respect.
A big technical upgrade from its 8-bit predecessor, the SNES boasted the ability to rotate background graphics with what Nintendo dubbed “Mode 7”. It was a big selling point for the system.
The SNES also boasted a powerful audio system that produced some incredible soundtracks.
But what it really game down to were the games. So take a few minutes today to think back on your favorites and argue about where they should be ranked. There are no wrong answers!
Or, if you’re really feeling ambitious, pull out your old hardware and give it an upgrade.
