In my estimation, this is the best video game of all time. Disagree with me if you will, but believe me when I say you owe it to yourself to play this game from beginning to end:
Title: Secret of Mana Platform: SNES Genre: RPG
Code:
Please be patient while this is down for a little bit.

Quote:
Secret of Mana . . . is the second video game in the Seiken Densetsu series of role-playing games, the first game of the series on the Super NES and the only Seiken Densetsu or Mana game released on this platform outside Japan. Released in 1993 and 1994 by Squaresoft, most players outside Japan were introduced to the series through this particular game.
The main protagonist of Secret of Mana is the knight, who is supported by the spell-casting girl and sprite child. While the three release versions of the game do not have a default name for each of the characters, the Japanese instruction manual refers to the knight, girl and sprite respectively as Randi, Purim and Popoie (or variants thereof). . . .
Rather than use the traditional turn-based battle system of games like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, Secret of Mana uses real-time battles akin to the Legend of Zelda series' games, but with the statistical-based elements of the RPG genre and a unique "ring menu" system. In addition, with its brightly colored graphics, expansive plot, and soundtrack by Hiroki Kikuta, the game has been called one of the greatest video games ever made.

This game is a true classic. I replay it every year or so. I just can't help it. I've also got a couple additional Mana related files and ROM's that I'll post eventually. I just have to get around to it. With Aduaspire's and Valkin on Christmas break, I should have time.
I spent so much time on this game with my SNES years ago.. this is the best game IMO aswell. Great upload.
