Seinfeld: George has a Super Nintendo, but what does he play?

[SlipperyFishes]

Watching Seinfeld now that it’s on Netflix, and Super Nintendo is one of the product placements that pops up once in a while. In The Secret Code (S07E07) George has the console plugged in, but there are no games visible.

Knowing George to be a somewhat neurotic version of Larry David, what games would fit with George’s interests?

I’m going to think this over before committing to a game but let’s hear what you think Fami!

George is, at the very least, a very proficient Frogger player.

"George, they call it a Super Nintendo, but what's super about it?"
"The guy at the store just told me it was better than before,"
"So now the old Nintendo is just Weak Nintendo,"
"And each of the games are bigger and better in every way!"
"So now you have to buy all these games again-"
"-but now they're Super."
"Riiight..."

*Kramer bursts in*

"Guys, guess what I got,"
"A Super Television? Everything's got Super in the name now to make it sound better."
"A S-super? No no...I got a Genesis! Genesis does what Nintendon't right?"

[he'd probably bay Baseball Simulator and some sports games. With his Frogger score, he'd probably want a couple arcade titles, too.]

This is perfection.

Well the fun fact about Frogger is that it was the last SNES game in the States.

Must be why his glasses are so thick. Virtual Boy destroyed them

Chessmaster would make for a great diegetic moment.

Spoiler: The truth

The Seinfeld bass (or at least something that sounds very similar) is a default instrument on the SNES's audio chip. Here's another song that prominently features it.

It even showed up in Mega Man X, as noted by future Undertale creator Toby Fox.

That's actually Art Vandelay, famous importer/exporter.

Meh. What I really want to know is what Bizarro George would play.

Now that you bring that up, Jeremy Parish brought that up in his Paperboy 2 review, and really leaned into that fact.
