Now, I’m not a doctor or whatever type of person prescribes games to people, but holy shit Super Mario RPG.

Now that one of the best Super Nintendo games has hit the Virtual Console, what other game am I going to complain about being absent? Methinks TMNT: Turtles in Time.

**Gator**, however, was less enthusiastic about Super Mario RPG, but bless his heart, actually tried the game before dismissing it! “I hunted down an old cart while in school, despite never enjoying a RPG, because of all the praise it gets. I played it for a bit and decided that I just don’t like RPGs even when it is obviously well done and features a cast of characters set in a universe I care about.” RPGs are notoriously insular in that they appeal to a very specific audience, but good on you for giving it a go in your (assumed) checkered past!
