annoying!!

SNES- Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, Earthbound, Contra 3,
Castlevania 4, Illusion of Gaia, too much to fucking
mention.

The SNES was the greatest video game juggernaut ever, I
still play it more than PS2/GC.

NES- every Mario, every Mega Man and Castlevania, Little
Nemo, GI Joe, too many to mention.

Genesis- every Sonic, every Shinobi, every Streets of Rage,
every Shining Force, Dynamite Headdy, too many to mention.

Playstation and N64 don't seem as ''classic'', but I guess
in a few years I'll be looking back at them fondly.

NES - Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. 3, Final Fantasy,
Castlevania, Metroid, Tetris, Donkey Kong, CONTRA!!!!

SNES - Final Fantasy VI (III in US -- BEST FINAL FANTASY
EVER!!!!!!!), Super Metroid, Super Castlevania, Donkey Kong
Country, Killer Instinct, Super Street Fighter II

SEGA - Phantasy Star I, II and IV, Sonic and Knuckles
(especially when connected to Sonic3), Vectorman, Earthworm
Jim, Splatterhouse II and III, Streets of Rage I/II/III,
Mutant League Hockey (KILL THE REF KILL THE REF KILL THE
REF!!!!)

And if any of you are hardcore into 2D, BUY ALL of the
Castlevania games on GBA -- every one of them KICKS ASS
retro side-scrolling vampire slayer style.

And Guilty Gear X2 is on my list as one of the best 2D
fighters ever next to Street Fighter Alpha 3. X2 makes me
miss my PS2.... because Gamecube barely has any decent
fighters besides Super Smash Bros. Melee. ... until Soul
Calibur comes out.

It is just me, or does it seem like Castlevania fans could
give a shit less about it going 2D?

i could play that game for hours. it took me about 20 mins.
to finish it, but i didn't care, i just started all over
again. :D

it's certainly more fun to play it when you're two or more
people.-

I used to love a game called "Adventure" for the Atari 2600.
but that'll be before most of your lost were into this
stuff. Anyone else remember it?

It's great - have the emulation now - it really was
something for its time.

Excellent, so it is! Good to see it getting a mention. I was
amazed by it at the time, but that was something on the
order of 23 years ago :D

Other games I've loved over the years have been Rasputin,
Head Over Heels and Starglider for the ZX Spectrum and my
current fave, Spyro the Dragon for the Playstation. None of
those got a mention in that top 100 though

pachi: if i was you i would drive a car through the arcade's
front doors late at night when everyones asleep and load
those two arcades games into the back. how sweet would it be
to have those at home in your living room.

remember the seinfeld episode where george trys to save that
frogger arcade game, haha

i used to own a NES, i don't anymore. This idiot here got a
cd-i. Have you ever heard of that? I guess it's quite
non-popular. But as my father works at philips it was pretty
easy/cheap to get it + a lot of games....

Donkey Kong Country.
Sonic 1, 2, 3, K.
Starfox/Starwing.
Super Mario World.

those are unforgettable... they don't make platform games as
good as these old ones anymore...

failed experiment prototype ^^

I'm not sure the cd-i was released worldwide, but even here
in the netherlands it was not that popular. The cool thing
was that it could play video-cd's, and games. Now i know the
games are really bad. It was something like the 3DO system,
ever played that? It featured a lot of the same games. The
best were those American Laser games, like Mad Dog Mccree.
So a shooting game with live actors (fmv)....

there was a cd-i machine with an educative game on
demonstration you could try...

yeah those educational titles.... with those they were
trying to promote it. really really bad.

JAroen, you should know of it as you were a dutchie too! i
know cd-i was bad, and the games were never in comparison
with the nintendo alikes. still, some games were fun to
play. And the video-cd's were pretty good. plus, DVD
compatible.

Oh by the way, you even had Zelda and Mario games
exclusively licensed to CD-i. what about that?

knew it... played it on my dad's laptop when i was about 4
:-)

- Alex Kidd on the master system (the built in one)
- Thunderforce IV on mega drive (visuals and audio both way
ahead of their time)
- Strider, again on mega drive (music was totally atonal and
bonkers in places)

man, that list has made me nostalgic. Is it just me, or were
videogames just more fun before all these "next-gen"
consoles? That list brought back so many memories.

And check out how many nintendo-games are in there :-D
Especially in the top20... nintendo just rules.

I wanna buy all those great remakes for GBA (all the mario's
+ a link to the past), but they're all so expensive
:-/
