First and foremost, I am not an RPG fan. I never jumped on the Final Fantasy bandwagon. I don't care for the Dragon Quest games. I have never played Chrono Trigger or any of its remakes. But I have to admit that all of the games I mentioned helped usher in a major video games category that has been around since the days of the original NES. So when word broke out that Nintendo and Squaresoft (now known as Square Enix) were working together on a RPG game featuring Mario & using Final Fantasy style game play, many gamers were immediately excited and waited to play this masterpiece. And so, in 1996, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars was released on the SNES and was and still is one of the best RPGs. If you haven't played this game yet, you are missing out.
