The Steam Summer Sale is in full swing, and it’s no doubt shredding many a bank account right now. That being said, if I could draw your attention away from the many 80-to-90% off deals, I’d point out that the not oft discounted Baldur’s Gate 3 is down by 20%. Also, anybody after a difficulty hit that’s arguably as brutal as Shadow of the Erdtree, best go invest in that half-off Sekiro GOTY. Reasonably priced PTSD for all!

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 32nd birthday of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Truth be told, I was a Mega Drive kid to begin with, though I lived opposite a SNES guy, so I had the benefit of both worlds (until I just went out and bought one myself). While I had the goods on him with some of “our” exclusives, I can recall being mighty envious of his Street Fighter II ports, Donkey Kong Countries, Super Star Warses, and the value of that jam-packed Super Mario All-Stars cartridge was immense. If you didn’t grow up with one and feel out of the loop, here are the 100 best games ever made for the SNES, truly, one of gaming’s greatest machines.
