here to defend 1993:

kirby's adventure
aerobiz
star fox
mario all-stars
e.v.o.
secret of mana
aladdin
street fighter ii turbo and mortal kombat ports
battletoads / double dragon
link's awakening
gunstar heroes
sonic cd
doom
might and magic v
sam and max
simcity 2000
syndicate
master of orion
x-wing
nba jam arcade

and maybe myst if you're into that

1993 isn't a power year (between the snes release year and 1994 which had many of the most popular snes games) but a lot of good poo poo got started in 93 and secret of mana is my favorite so i picked it.
