Super Nintendo Entertainment System

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System spawned some of the greatest role-playing games ever made. The 16-bit RPGs created during the early '90s helped the genre grow beyond its niche audiences and expand into a broader fanbase. The widespread success of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (which we're not including in this list since we're classifying it as an action-adventure game) inspired a lot of action-RPGs in terms of top-down gameplay that didn't rely on turn-based combat.

An important part of gaming history was reportedly found, dating back to when Sony and Nintendo originally meant for the PlayStation to be a CD-based expansion for the SNES.
