The Super Nintendo had a reasonably long life cycle for the time. Right in the era of the first console wars where new machines were coming out all the time…

Video Game Spotlight: Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero [Super Nintendo]

Shockman Zero is very aesthetically pleasing, it has beautifully polished graphics including sprites, backgrounds and animations. It's essentially a platformer with elements of a co-operative beat 'em up game. The main character is Raita who specializes in boxing attacks, while a second player can join in as a couch co-op partner with Azuka who uses sword attacks that have the advantage of extra range. Both characters can use special beam attacks and each have their own team attack move.

The game isn't very long or too difficult however it has a lot of replay value. After finishing it you will want to play again just for the fun of it. Two player co-op mode is especially fun, so much that you will want to play at it every opportunity you have a gaming partner to play with.
