Games a non-gamer might like for the SNES.

[KentaRawr!]

So, I have this friend from Portugal, and she has never played video games before. However, she does seem interested in trying. So, like a good friend, I'm showing her how to download games illegally and play them on an emulator. She seems set on starting with Chrono Trigger, and I have a few other ideas on what to recommend to her, but I'm curious what games you guys think a total non-gamer might enjoy for the SNES.

Of course, this will be different depending on the person. But I'm still curious.

That is a tough call. If she is not a gamer because she has never had a chance to play video games before, the SNES is certainly a good system to start with, as it has a host of excellent titles from various genres. FFVI would be next up, if she is continuing with RPGs, then Secret of Mana, to switch up the combat a bit. Super Metroid is an awesome sidescroller. It's just important to look first for games that you think suit her best.

She wants to start with Chrono Trigger? WHY ARE YOU STOPPING HER??!

Contra III. Everyone has to bleed sometime.

I think that happens once a month in this case.

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone! I think she'll really enjoy the games you guys recommended.

Is she really going to be coordinated enough for some of these games? RPGs are a pretty hefty hurdle for a non-gamer. And Contra is pretty unforgiving even to some avid gamers xD I'd suggest something like Bubble Bobble. Girls love those games. Yoshi's Cookie or Yoshi's Island maybe (Mario's a really good suggestion).

That's why I was thinking Zelda. It's fun and enjoying while also not incredibly hard and pretty easy to get into. And A Link to the Past is by far one of the best Zelda games
