The funny thing is that I didn't care much for the SNES. I own one, but I've barely played it, and most of that time was a couple of Squaresoft RPGs and some shooters. Waaaaaaay too many runny-jumpy games. My favorites on the system were Chrono Trigger (now on PSX), Ogre Battle (now on PSX) and Pop 'n' Twinbee (not released in the US), so there's really no reason for me to go back and revisit it.

Frogger (solid gameplay, tweaked music) is on the GBA Konami Arcade Advanced pack, along with Time Pilot, Gyruss, Scramble, Yie-Ar Kung Fu and Green Beret (nee Rush'n Attack). Likewise, Super Breakout is on the GBA Atari Anniversary collection (with Tempest, Battlezone, Asteroids, and others). There's a Pac-Man compilation for the GBA, though I don't know how authentic it is to the original.

Next project: getting my hands on a Flash cartridge and reader, installing PocketNES on it, and WHAM! One cartridge with hundreds of NES games on a portable GBA. Fun for the whole family. Pity that the Flash kit costs around $100...

Freeeow, someone else has a Virtual Boy? I snagged one and most of the games in Blockbastard Video's clearance section, and played a fair amount of Jack Bros. and Panic Bomber (though the PC-Engine Panic Bomber is far superior).
