Turns out I played quite a bit of the SNES and Game Boy games at the least. Mostly the licensed titles. Here is my nostalgia fueled list:

1.) Lemmings. My family played the shit out of this game. We would write the passwords on the plastic SNES cart protectors that went over the bottom. Solid puzzle game, that I wouldn't be surprised if it still holds up.

2.) Aero the AcroBat. Colorful (wannabe mascot?) platformer that I played on SNES. I couldn't tell you if it is any good, but I played quite a bit as a kid. I think I enjoyed the music, and it was kinda interesting game play wise I think.

3.) Taz-Mania. Another classic in my household as a kid. You run towards the screen trying to eat Kiwi birds I think? You have to avoid cars and things, and just run to the end of the level. Again, no telling if it is actually decent, but I played it a lot as a child.

These were the 3 I remembered the most looking over their wiki of games. Lemmings is the only one I can for sure recommend, but the others are enough to get a 30 minute go just to see at the least. I kind of want to try Aero the AcroBat again and see how it holds up.

Aero is out on multiple platforms now, I believe.

Oh cool, I didn't know when that was releasing. Thanks for the tip

It probably would've been useful to include the list of actual games:

"The three games included are: The Wing of Madoola, Firework Thrower Kantaro’s 53 Stations of the Tokaido and Ripple Island."

They announce a retro collection but ommit the list of games... 😑

All I want is that acrylic Sunsoft logo to go with my copy of Blaster Master!
