Pilotwings
Who could forget this enjoyable & memorable little SNES game? At the time, 7 mode effects were all the rage & the graphics boggled the mind (yes 3D was only beginning to take a foot hold). The game definitely had it's challenges. And the sheer variety in the vechicles & missions made it all the more long lasting. You could sky dive, fly a plane, & even use a jet pack for crying out loud! Most missions have you going through rings within a certain amount of time. And you also had to make sure you didn't die either. Playing against friends & trying to beat one another's score & record time is just half the fun. It's truly an experience within itself. Though looking back you might find complaints about the simple graphics & funky password system. But who cares, the gameplay & the feel is just so great you can't help but love this great little game. And that's exactly why it recieved a sequel on the N64. This game is probably easy to find, but it's still a heck of game & deserves to be in your collection with the rest of the big boys.
