30 Classic SNES Games You Must Play Before You Die

12. Secret Of Mana

RPGs are a great but lonely genre, right? Well, not according to Secret Of Mana. It allowed up to three people to play co-operatively, controlling each character individually and allowing players to team up to beat the game - it was pretty revolutionary.

Unsurprisingly, with Square developing the game, the music, graphics and in-battle gameplay are phenomenal. The soundtrack alone justifies a playthrough, especially if you're a Final Fantasy fan - it's wonderfully atmospheric.

Daunted by the RPG genre? This is a great title to begin with - the Ring Command system strips away the menu-heavy standards of the genre, opening the series up to a wider variety of people. Those looking to spend a weekend away in an enchanting world need this in their life.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
