Kirk, I appreciate you asking that. I’ll be perfectly honest with you… I still have plans to create and launch that list but… it probably won’t be as detailed as it would have been had I created it when I was at the peak of my SNES interest (circa 2018 or so). Since then I’ve gotten married and rediscovered my love for literature so my interests are now split in different directions whereas SNES dominated my free time from 2006-2018.

I still love and play the SNES to this day (the wifey and I play Tetris Attack at least 4 times a week) but the passion is definitely different. I haven’t touched my top X list in a good while, but I do want to come back to it eventually. However, the info for each game will probably be kept to a mere paragraph or so… for the sake of brevity and also, like I said, my SNES interest isn’t what it once was. Perhaps this isn’t what you were hoping to hear, but I don’t want to BS anyone, either. I do plan to continue writing SNES reviews again shortly. In fact, believe it or not, I hope to get one out this summer at the very least. I know it’s been a while, and as I’m sure you can see from the latest updates on RVG for the past year or so, the book bug has bit me something fierce. Very similar to how the SNES did way back in 2006.

In short, yes, the top list article is still in the works. When will it be launched? I have no clue. I’m putting no deadlines or pressure on myself here. I hope that whenever it is ready to go though that it will be satisfying enough for me to say, “Yeah, I’m good with it.”

So, how is that list coming along?

I’m real interested to see what titles you select and what level of detail you put into such an article….

The Hebereke's Popoitto screenshot was actually taken from Hebereke's Popoon, which is a completely different game.

Hey Logan, I should edit this article to clarify certain things. Super Play published this issue in April 1996 but they probably made the list in January or February of 1996, just before Super Mario RPG came out. So that explains its omission — it wasn’t released in time. And I agree with you regarding the difference in taste between British and American gamers; the list is a bit different from most other lists I’ve seen over the years.

To answer your last question, yes I am definitely still working on my own personal list. Realistically, it won’t be out earlier than late 2020… but it may take until 2021 or even 2022 if I really want to take my time and squeeze as much out of the library as I can before releasing such a list. However, rest assured it’s still in the works and I’m enjoying the journey. Thanks for being a long time fan and that list is coming one day! Just not any time soon-ish, but it’ll absolutely be out before all is said and done. Cheers mate

I think you meant “most notably, Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars” as the most glaring omission. Still a great list, and because of the differences between the tastes of British gamers and American gamers, lots of choices that wouldn’t have made your average list, making it unique to this day.

Are you still working on your own personal list? I’d love to see that as I’ve been a fan of your site for years.
