My pick this weekend is Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, an early SNES platformer by Capcom, with a suitably spooky theme for the month.
Whilst it's sometimes mistaken for a conversion of one of the arcade-games, Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts is in fact a title unique to the SNES (and later the Game Boy Advance, to which it got a pretty good, though screen-crunched, port early in the system's life), and a damn fine one it is - though, as you would expect from its lineage, it's pretty brutal!
It's still my favourite game in the series, and it's always nice to go back to it.
It's the unlock that doesn't end! Yes, it goes on and on, my friend!
I love the weather-effect here - it just goes to show that you don't need anything super-fancy for it to feel atmospheric!
Yikes!
Hahahahahahaha!

Some people, starting playing it not knowing what it was.......... And theyll continue playing it forever just because this is......
This must have been the song EA played to inspire Star Wars Battlefront II.........
It is a really nice effect..... Its something the PS2 does really well in general......
I always love big head cheats in sports games........
ring ring ring ring ring ring onion rings......

One level uses Mode 7 to rotate the stage, similar to that one area in Super Castlevania IV, but it's a case of parallel-development rather than one game ripping off the other, since they were both released in October of 1991 (Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts on the 4th, and Super Castlevania IV on the 31st).
Haha!
I think I prefer the more abstract weather effects like that, than the hyper-realistic ones we see more often today.
There was an unlockable big-head mode in GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64, too - but since Rareware also developed the Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land games, they called it "DK Mode" and also gave the characters chunky gorilla arms to go with the giant heads!
