Hey Fellow Nintenerds!

I was going thru a bunch of my SNES games the other day, and playing a few that I hadn't had a chance too yet, and I came across TINSTAR which I had heard was good, that's why I bought it, but had never played it, 

So I popped it in, and was Very surprised how much FUN it is!!  

It's like a mix of Wild Guns gameplay, with Sunset Riders Comedy.... kinda... 

Anyway, it's a great game, play it if you haven't!! 

I was reading thru the Manual and it states that you can play this game with the Standard Controller, the Light Gun, or the SNES Mouse?!?!?!

I always have overlooked the Mouse, as Mario Paint does not appeal to me much since I was allowed to use the Computer back in 1992!! 

However, I am curious enough to go buy a SNES mouse, just so I can play TINSTAR... and I am now wondering.... what other great games allow you to use the SNES mouse as a controller ??

Discuss...?

The Super Famicom game Dezaemon is a great example.

If I had an SNES mouse, King Arthur's World would be the one I'd be checking out.

That night the Captain’s granddaughter
Would celebrate her birthday
“I’ve come a long way,” said the Captain,
“From Lost Christabel this night.
Accompanied by my dog familiar,
To blast your rafters with my surprise.
Granddaughter, It’s a foreign mirror
Taken from the jungle by crime!”

I used to play Sim Ant all the time with the mouse. After looking at that Wiki list, I am surprised how many games are compatible w/ the mouse!

I think a lot of people are as it just wasn't well advertised on quite a few titles that it did it. Kind of dumb when you think about it as they could have easily put the snes mouse icon on the front. Other than just the low resolution on screen of the thing, some of those PC conversions actually handle very well with it such as Civilization and the mentioned Sim Ant. It's a really nice accessory they very well supported unlike the Super Scope which has fun games but is a big pain in the butt at times to use being a bazooka and all.

I wonder if anyone ever considered hacking the guts of a SS6 into a Zapper shell before? I'd buy that.

I had this idea of turning the Bazooka into something similar to a shotgun, once I started looking I was shocked how expensive they had gotten.
