The Blackthorne ROM is a modification of the original game’s code that enables it to run at a higher resolution.

In this blog post, we’ll take a look at what the Blackthorne ROMs are and how they can improve your gaming experience. Are you a fan of SNES games? If so, you’re in for a treat! There’s a new ROM called Blackthorne that allows you to play your favorite SNES games in glorious HD. And it should be noted that this Super Nintendo list takes into consideration what has already been added to my Sega Genesis list ( which is why you won’t find many SNES sports titles listed here + there are some games included in my Sega list that are also available on the SNES, but I have not included them on my SNES list in order to make room for other games, and vice versa with my Sega list). This is just a list of games that I still find personally enjoyable playing as an elder millennial in the 2020s & the ones that I find myself reaching for most often (which is sometimes influenced by subjective nostalgia) + it should be noted that I don’t really care much for fighting games or button-mashing beat ‘em ups or too-much-on-the-screen shooters or turn based strategy RPG games (no matter how ‘critically acclaimed’ they are on the Youtubes & Reddits). Please keep in mind that this list is not really in a strict ranked order and it is definitely not an attempt at creating a “BEST Super Nintendo games EVER” list ( so prepare to adjust your “how could you not include _?!” outrage appropriately).

So, since I also did a lot of searching for “best SNES games” or “most underrated SNES games” or “SNES games that are still worth playing today” or “hidden gem SNES games” once I was done googling the same “how to hack a sega mini” queries that started directing more & more people to my blahg quite consistently, I figured I should put together some console specific lists too… because SEO, innit? And most of those visits were coming from Google’rs.

On top of that, I’ve been noticing that my most visited website pages, month after month, were my blog posts about retro video gaming (even though I am very clearly a ‘ not a music blog, not not a music blog’). I guess that’s why they say hindsight is 20/20. And once one goes down that online retro video gaming rabbit hole, one eventually realizes that one could have been playing any old retro video game right on one’s old iMac the whole time. This was heavily influenced by me ordering a Sega Mini to hook up to the tv I won at a Super Bowl party right before the world went on a never-ending lockdown quarantine, but the thing that really kicked the new hobby up a notch was realizing that that Sega Mini could be hacked to add any old retro video game from any old retro video game console.

As I mentioned in my other top/fave retro video games lists, 2020 was the year I got back into playing retro video games from my youth.
