best strategy games snes
Alright, listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about them best strategy games on that there Super Nintendo, yeah, the SNES. Back in my day, we didn’t have no fancy phones or internets. We had these game boxes, and let me tell you, some of ’em were real brain-busters.
So, what makes a strategy game good, huh? Well, for me, it’s gotta make you *think*. Not just button-mashing, no sir. You gotta plan, you gotta strategize, you gotta outsmart the other fella. And it can’t be too dang complicated neither. I ain’t got all day to figure out some fancy-pants rules.
First up, gotta talk about Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen. This one’s a real doozy. You got these units, see, and you gotta move ’em around the map, fightin’ bad guys. But it ain’t just hack and slash. You gotta think about where you’re movin’ ’em, what kind of units they are, and how they match up against the enemy. It’s like chess, but with more swords and magic. And the story, well, it’s somethin’ else. Queens and rebellions and all that. Keeps you on the edge of your seat, I tell ya.
- Lots of characters to use.
- Big maps to explore.
- You gotta think ahead or you’re toast.
Then there’s SimCity. Now, this one ain’t about fightin’. It’s about buildin’. You get to be the mayor of your own city! You gotta build houses, factories, roads, all that stuff. And you gotta keep your people happy, or they’ll get all riled up and leave. It’s harder than it looks, let me tell you. You gotta manage your money, deal with disasters, and make sure everything’s runnin’ smooth. It’s like being a mama hen, always clucking around making sure everything is in order. Sometimes those little people just don’t listen!
Civilization, that’s another good one. Though, I ain’t played that new stuff like “Civilization 6”, too much for this old brain. I’m talkin’ about the SNES version. It’s kinda like SimCity, but bigger. You’re not just buildin’ a city, you’re buildin’ a whole civilization! From the stone age all the way to the space age. You gotta research new technologies, build armies, and fight wars. And you gotta deal with other civilizations too. Some are friendly, some are not so friendly. You get to make a lot of choices in this one, big choices about how your whole world takes shape, powerful stuff if you ask me.
And let’s not forget about Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This one’s based on a real book from China. It’s all about war and politics in ancient China. You get to play as a warlord and try to conquer the whole country. It’s got a lot of characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. And you gotta be smart about how you use them. Diplomacy is just as important as fighting in this game. Sometimes it’s better to talk your way out of a fight than to swing a sword. Though, there’s nothing quite like a good old-fashioned battle to get your blood pumpin’.
There’s plenty of other good strategy games on the SNES, but these are the ones that stick out in my mind. They ain’t easy, but they’re rewarding. They make you think, they challenge you, and they make you feel like you’ve really accomplished somethin’ when you finally win. And that’s what makes a good game, if you ask me. It ain’t about fancy graphics or how much noise it makes. It’s about how it makes you feel. And a good strategy game, well, it makes you feel like a dang genius.
Final Thoughts
So, if you’re lookin’ for some good strategy games to play on your SNES, give these a try. They might be old, but they’re still gold. And remember, it ain’t about winnin’ or losin’. It’s about havin’ fun. But winnin’ sure is nice, ain’t it? Anyways, go on now and get to playin’. You young’uns got it too easy these days. Back in my time… well, that’s a story for another day.
