#SNESrank #61 Tecmo Super Bowl. Had to give this one the four part treatment with a run to the Super Bowl. Always a thrill to go through a Tecmo season. Rank way too harsh. My quarrels with this version are only major to someone completely obsessed with the franchise.

#SNESrank #62 Top Gear. Important solid SNES title. I enjoyed it, tho it probably should not be ranked this highly. Top Gear 2 has a lot more sheen but the soundtrack isn't QUITE as iconic. Both are a good time. Top Gear 3000 I dunno. #61 next is a big one! Seeya then!

#SNESrank #62 Top Gear. This #Kemco racer with the classic soundtrack cannot be overlooked. It's high octane action on the Countdown tonight! Stream at 8:45 PT. BE THERE. Maybe we'll even take a look at the sequels... Are they as good??

#SNESrank #63 Mega Man X2 in the books with Part 2. Overall this is probably the best game we have played on the Countdown. No big surprise that #Capcom made a banger. Well designed game with memorable boss battles. Took a few more down tonight!

#SNESrank #63 Mega Man X2. I HAD played this game. I just didn't remember it. It is very good. No surprise. The challenge I came up with was TUFF, but I got into a bit of a groove at the end. Only thing is its just a lil WEIRD. Super fun overall. Great job #Capcom.

#SNESrank #63 Mega Man X2. This game might be awesome, but I don't really remember really anything about it. I am prepared to be wowed by the the usually on point crew at #Capcom. Goin in cold so that a full wowing may occur. Stream starts tonight around 8:45 PT.
#SNESrank #64 Batman Returns. This beat-em-up stands pretty tall among its contemporaries. I think it belongs this high on the liszt for its viceral smash-tastic delights. Decently hard game. I think I fared pretty well.. ended stream sampling Batman Forever... #Debacle
www.twitch.tv/videos/25627...
#SNESrank Batman Returns. I honestly don't remember if this is a good game. I just remember it was extremely satisfying to beat up these clowns. I also don't remember if the movie was any good, but Michelle Pfeiffer in the cat suit was also very satisfying. Return to GOTHAM, Stream 8:45 PT TONIGHT!
#SNESrank Thought I might try to play some more HAL's Hole In One, but the #HiddenGem on the famicom- "Jumbo Ozaki no Hole In One Professional" is too fun! It's a great blend of difficultly and opportunity to hit great shots. Try this game!
www.twitch.tv/videos/25619...
#SNESrank I like this game a lot. I don't know if it belongs too much higher than #65 but it scratches a certain itch for me. Respect to the legend IWATA. Was fun to check out the Jumbo Osaki famicom-only version too!
www.twitch.tv/videos/25576...
#SNESrank #65 Hal's Hole In One Golf. I don't know if this is a niche game or beloved classic. It seems like the type of game you either hate or love... Well I loved it! Anytime Satoru Iwata is involved, its probably gonna be pretty good times. September 1991 action stream starts at 8:30 PT TONIGHT!
#SNESrank RUN SABER was a clear victor over SKY BLAZER. Both are probably not going to permeate the top 100 but I enjoyed and appreciate both. More contenders will be explored as go forth with this project. Bet we find at least ONE real diamond in the rough at some pt.

#SNESrank CONTENDERS. I am pitting these similar in concept and title rhythm games against each other HEAD TO HEAD. They both look pretty fun, surfacing on various #HiddenGem liszts, but the #CFT community and I have all but ignored them. Back into #SuperNintendo ACTION tonight at 8:45 PT.
#SNESrank #66 Dragon View. Ran through more of this #HiddenGem and I gotta say, this is the new leader in the clubhouse for top game on the Countdown. The next bunch are going to have to bring it to get past this one. Great times! Didn't wanna stop playing...
www.twitch.tv/videos/25378...
#SNESrank #66 Dragon View. This game is GOOD. It starts a little slow but very soon settles into a very tasty mix of action, exploration, and standard RPG fare. Absolutely a #HiddenGem. Part 1 was solid. Part 2 is coming down the road.
www.twitch.tv/videos/25252...
#SNESrank #66 Dragon View. I feel pretty good about my ranking here, but I have not played it since back in the day and its association with known dud Drakkhen has me concerned. I don't think its much like that game at all though. I think its a certified #HiddenGem Stream starts at 8:30 PT TONIGHT!!
#SNESrank #67 Civilization. Ok thats enough of that! I could play this forever. Great game, but its time to move on. The lack of flavor this port brings probably means it will stay around here, but the original still holds up real well overall. Long live CIV!
www.twitch.tv/videos/25226...
#SNESrank #67 Civilization. I paid full homage to all the ridiculous sessions I have had with this series by "one more turn"-ing until 2:30 am. Tough go, but many dramatic victories staving off elimination. Not sure where this version ranks, but Civ never disappoints.
www.twitch.tv/videos/25137...
#SNESrank #67 Civilization. I seem to recall this being a decent port of this PC classic. It can't be better than the PC version though? Right? Well it did come out quite a bit later so maybe it has some improvements. We're gonna start a run tonight and go all the way to the end. Stream 8:45 PT.
#SNESrank #68 Battletoads in Battlemaniacs. This was easily the biggest debacle of this journey so far. I can't even really explain what happened exactly tonight. See for yourself....
www.twitch.tv/videos/25075...
#SNESrank #68 Battletoads in Battlemaniacs. I am 99% sure this game is good. Yet, it seemingly has no cultural cache. No one ever talks about it. Am I about to find out its secretly terrible? I doubt it. Battletoads kicks ass. Stream tonight 8:30 PT!!
#SNESrank #69 College Slam. Shakey's Pizza start with my Demon Deacs, but got cookin and had an incredible run! COLLEGE SLAM is quality stuff from the good people at #Acclaim!! #STAGPARTY #IN #COOLSHOT !!!
www.twitch.tv/videos/25015...
#SNESrank #69 College Slam. Here's another super-fun game in the JAM legacy that is perhaps under-appreciated due to its January 1996 release. I had a lot of fun with this one back in the day but have rarely (if ever) revisited it. Excited to see if it holds up. Stream tonight! 8:30 PT. STAG PARTY!!
#SNESrank I actually didn't hate Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball... All in all this set of 1991 SNES games was like King Ralph... not a cataclysmic disaster, but not super great.

#SNESrank 1991 Roundup. Tonight I'm going to be looking at some titles from 1991, the first year for the SNES in North America. Are there some contenders in the mix? Come find out with me! Stream 8:30 PT
#SNESrank #70 John Madden Football '93. The 2nd SNES Madden game brought some serious additions to the party. 2P Co-op. Historic Squads. A full list of attributes. Awesome graphics and sound. These EA Sports games were really great at the time. We'll see how well it holds up. Stream 8:30 PT tonight!
#SNESrank #71 Lemmings. Having a great time with this wacky puzzler. The first handful of levels are comically easy, but soon enough the game starts playing dirty tricks on you. A very 90s hilarious experience. Stream ended in intense thrilling fashion!
www.twitch.tv/videos/24890...
#SNESrank #71 Lemmings. A PC classic that worked well on the SNES. I always wanted to really sink my teeth into this one, but always got stymied and gave up. This is a CLASSIC crazy concept puzzle game. Let's really dive in tonight y'all. Stream starts at 8:30 PT. Seeya there!
#SNESrank #72 FIFA International Soccer. I didn't remember everything about this game, I maybe haven't played since the 90s. Had it pegged tho. It solid futbol action thats just a notch below the great sports games in terms of feel. My challenge was spot on once again.
www.twitch.tv/videos/24846...
#SNESrank #72 FIFA International Soccer. EPIC ORIGINS ALERT. This is the first game in what would become a global phenomenon. I was in from the beginning, but it took a while for the USA to latch on to this series and soccer in general. Tonight, we dive into this historic title. 8:30 PT stream.
