I daresay it's S.O.S.

It's kinda sucky as a game, but it's one of the most thrilling survival adventures and no game since has caught up to it.

It's basically just The Poseidon Adventure... on the Titanic, but ya.

Leste*shot*

Mmm... I beat the RPG G.O.D. Heed The Call To Awaken last year. Was pretty interesting with plenty of options in combat, and funny that it was Demon Kogure who did the soundtrack.

Still trying to beat Idea No Hi, another RPG although untranslated, and I suppose it's fun enough. (These both take place on Earth, but like over half the world is missing in this one from the beginning... It's got a super dark beginning too where they kill your dog then you kill everyone else present in the facility.)

I really dunno any others, but I do suppose the BOFs are the most underrated RPGs that came here, and II's translation is legendary.

Demon's Crest is the most underrated SNES game because it had negative sales for one month

FF Mystic Quest.

It has a super bad reputation, but really wasn't awful. I think people just compare it to FF6 and expected it to be more of the same.

Man, good question. The good SNES games I'd played all sold at least reasonably well.

If I had to pick one I'd say the SNES version of Mortal Kombat. The removed blood and pacified finishing moves weren't awful, IMO, and for its looks and sounds I still preferred it to the Genesis version.

I remember that game and it was cool. It felt like simon's quest but more advanced.

People still play and talk about Super Nintendo games. How does it being 30 years old mean there aren't underrated games on it?

I always liked King Arthur and the Knights of Justice. It has a password system, so that kinda sucks, but with save states who cares.

I think I oopsied in the OP.

S.O.S. and SOS are not the same thing, there actually is a game called S.O.S. on the SNES... I meant SOS, also known as Septentrion in Japan.

I wish there were more games like it.

I would like to say king arthur and the knights of justice (because I'm the reason the faq here ever got finished in the first place), but it's kinda trash. I love it for what it is, it could have been a GREAT game if just a bit more time was put into the mechanics of it :/

Axelay - (very underrated and unique shooter)
The Ninja Warriors - (a slightly better more fleshed out version of the Arcade game)
Pilotwings - (not sure if it still holds up, but had alot of fun playing this as a kid)

Legend of the Mystical Ninja is one of my favourite games of all time and one of Konami's best overall.

Honourable mentions: UN Squadron (a super-fun schmup), Ninja Warriors (a solid beat-em-up that I could never find for years until I finally tracked down a cart), and Tetris Attack (probably the most tenuous claim of "underrated" of the games I've mentioned, but this is one of the best puzzle games of all time and I seldom see it get that recognition anymore).

I shouldn't be a downer, but I can't resist; I HATE that game. the Joe and Mac games are good, but that game is just god awful. sorry. single handedly made me despise Data East as a company. (it's not a bad game, it's just irritating and not fun. I hate the sound effects, and the graphics, and the gameplay. I hate that game. sorry.)

I liked it a lot back then, but I always got stuck. cyberpunk RPG (I think?) with unique gameplay, but not 100% sure how it holds up today. (I have a copy too and also haven't played it again yet.)

I really enjoyed Might & Magic 3: Isles of Terra, even though it was extremely slow and clunky to move around while playing back then. I imagine I'd find it intolerable now.

I don't know how underrated it'd be but I love the SNES Civilization game too.

Shadowrun is one of my top 10 games. The remakes on Steam are good too.

realtalk: FF3j in unaltered sprite mode and English is one of the things I'm looking forward to in the FF1~6 dump they're doing. FF3j's remake is acceptable, but the original is excellent
