Do you like any of the classic vetran series from that time? Zelda, Kirby, some of the harder to get Mega Mans, Castlevania, etc.? For my game, Mega Man, I like 7 better than Rockman & Forte, Rockman & Forte gets a little annoying after awhile compared to 7 - still a greate cartridge though. For the X series on the SNES, the original, hands down in my opinion.
You have to get to X4 before the X series gets decent IMO, which, those are for PSX/PS2. So far, I think X4 beats X5 and X6 hands down..but I haven't cleared either of the later. Capcom also infected a decent amount of the more modern Mega Man games with that annoying jazz-lounge/rap/slow bland techno music they've been putting into some of the more modern VS fighters they made. At least some of the more modern Mega Mans have a memorable tune here and there, X4 especially.
PS.
Try getting Mega Man X2 or X3 for the snes in complete condition(something I've been doing at least for all of my NES favorites for now). You're looking at $200-$300 depending upon the game.
