Island Saver sounds interesting.  Especially since you compared it to The Maw.  I loved that one.

Sorry to shill out my podcast so much, but you're just hitting all the right notes here!  Nobuo Uematsu is also on my list of favorite composers in Episode 4, but FF6 is also one of my top five favorite games of all time that I listed in Episode 1!  Terra is my favorite FF character and Kefka is my favorite FF villian ever, naturally.

I consider FF6 to have the perfect soundtrack.  Every song fits and I love how they use themes in different songs.  There's a lot of obvious ones, like Locke's theme and Forever Rachel being the same, but there are some others that are more subtle.  Like Devil's Lab being the same theme as the mage village/Strago's theme.  Or the fact that Kefka's theme plays during parts of Dancing Mad!  Speaking of which, Dancing Mad is a way better final boss theme than One Winged Angel.  Fight me.

I liked Terra's theme so much that I learned to play it on the piano with no sheet music.  Granted it's not that hard, just a bunch of arpeggios.  And you can't talk about FF6 without mentioning the opera scene.  As a teen when first playing this game, I was a bit of a band nerd so I always thought it would've been neat to see this opera scene live on stage.  But I figured it would never happen.  But then, many many years later, I attended a FF orchestra concert where they played the opera scene.  It was a bit of an emotional experience to have a dream come true like that.

Here's a cool thing you can do when playing SNES FF games while hooked up to a stereo.  When you do this, the instruments that sit on the left side of an orchestra play on the left speaker, and instruments on the right side of the stage are on the right speaker.  I always thought that was a neat touch.

I've played them all, even the newest one: Point Blank X.  It came out a couple of years ago.  I've also played all the home versions, including the 3 on PSOne, and on the DS and mobile devices!

I did download a Picross game that has SEGA characters in it.  it's on the Switch.

I never got into The Oregon Trail.  Not very many opportunities for me to play it, and when I did I found it boring.  

And what's the deal with all those tooth brushing games back then?

As much as you played Minecraft and Farm Together, I think you'd like Rune Factory 4.  But stay away from Match Three Pirates.  There are so many better games like that out there.

Yeah I tried to get a review copy of that Ryan racing game, but didn't get one.  I don't feel too bad about it. :)

Would be cool if Nintendo did that, but I doubt they ever will.

Yeah I really want that cabinet but it all depends on price and how hard it is to get.

My favorite light gun game series is Namco's Point Blank!
