The majority of games from this era are terrible, the Super Star Wars series for the SNES is amazing. In fact, you should go play it... right now. The difference between games then and now, though, is hype: Video games nowadays seem to require much fanfare and ceremony (and in particular, when they are involved with the Star Wars).
