The Genesis and SNES were the hallmarks of the golden age of gaming. A time before half the game got sucked away in load times, when games were about pure fun. The side-scrollers were wonderful. No one cared about Sonic or Mario's graphics, they just enjoyed the game. And then there were the RPGs, coming into their own. Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger are still some of the greatest RPGs of all time. Though I was never a huge fan of the particular genres, I remember enjoying sports games and racers (F-Zero was great) during the time of these consoles.

Is it any surprise that so many of these games are getting remade?
