Top Ten Best Games For Every Console (That does not suck! LOL)

[Rev. Rob]

Here's the deal, post what your top ten favorite games are for consoles that you own. That is, your favorite, not what you think everyone else should think. Be biased!

 

I own a lot of consoles, but I won't do too many.

 

Sega Genesis

 

1. Shining Force II

2. Shining Force

3. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles

4. Comix Zone

5. Revenge of Shinobi

6. The Lost Vikings

7. Beyond Oasis

8. Spider-man

9. Sword of Vermilion

10. Starflight

 

Except for 1-3, the rest of this Genesis list is really in no particular order. They are all my childhood favorites. I grew up in a Genesis household.

• Sowrd of Vermilion was my first ever RPG. I remember walking to school thinking about how my character felt. It was the first to get me interested in the genre. I hated, and still hate, turn basd RPGs. Yu Suzuki showed me that there are RPGs out there for me.
  
• Shining Force was my first ever strategy RPG. It introduced me to my favorite genre. Shining Force II did everything that I had wished the first one did, and it is all around a perfect game.
  
• Comix Zone is a game that I wish would be redone in 2D and in HD. I love the concept, and I played this one over and over.
  
• Revenge of Shinobi and Spider-man were the first two video games that I bought with my own money. I know each game in and out, except I still can't beat the stupid Kingpin! Do'h!
  
• The Lost Vikings is a strategy game for those with patience. It took up long stretches of time for me, and I enjoyed every second.
  
• Beyond Oasis was one of those Genesis games that made SNES owners green with envy. A beautifully drawn action RPG with a very unique concept. The hero summons various gods for aid.
  
• Starflight... Ah, Starflight. An early "sandbox" type of game. My crew had names like Data, Pickard, Riker and Worf. I also enjoyed picking fights with aliens. The best thing about this game is it never really *had* to end.
  
• Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles - I regard this as being the greatest Sonic game of all time. Gigantic levels, three unique characters, multipule level paths, different stories, different levels for different characters, more bonus levels, unique hyper modes, et cetera. This is the Sonic game to own all others.

Sega Genesis 32X

 

I own all but two US released 32X games, and I will get around to them one day.

 

1. Star Wars Arcade

2. Blackthorne

3. Knuckles' Chaotix

4. Kolibri

5. Virtua Racing Delux

6. DOOM

7. Metal Head

8. Virtua Fighter

9. T-Mek

10. Spider-man: Web of Fire

 

Despite the fact that there are only 39 games total released for the 32X, I still had a hard time coming up with only ten great ones.

• Star Wars Arcade and DOOM were huge for 32X. Hell, they were huge for any console in 1995. What everyone loves to forget is that the 32X has a spectacular and very successful launch. It did very well for Sega in the US that year. Star Wars Arcade was the main reason why people bought it. It's simply an amazing arcade shoother, espeially with a second player.
  
• DOOM was a lot of fun for me too. Yes, I know it was rushed for launch. Yes I know it's not full screen, and it's so unfinished that many levels and animation are missing. Well, I didn't own a PC. For me, DOOM was awesome on 32X, and I don't care who says otherwise. It got stellar reviews, BTW. EGM gave it a better score than the Jag version!
  
• Blackthorne looks better than the SNES version, and it also kicks ass. It proves just how great of a developer Blizzard really is.
  
• Kolibri - I don't really understand why this game is so hated. It's perhaps the best side scrolling shooter that I have ever played.
  
• Virtua Racing Delux and Virtua Fighter 32X are the best home versions of the game anywhere, and I love Virtua Racing.
  
• Knuckles' Chaotix was a descent Sonic game. But where was Sonic? I didn't like how the levels were slected, and they did feel too short. It was a beautiful game, though. I just wish it was more.
  
• T-Mek brings a playable version of the arcade home, and no other console has done that. Props.
  
• Spider-man: Web of Fire... this is the big daddy of US released 32X games, commanding an average of $130 on eBay. This is one of the few that I do not own. It's a fun sidescrolling shooter by the amazing Blue Sky Software, but not that fun!
  

Sega Saturn

 

There are lots of great games here, I could fill more than ten, but I want to keep it simple.

 

1. Panzer Dragoon Saga

2. Shining Force III

3. NiGHTS... Into Dreams

4. Virtual On: Cyber Troopers: Netlink Edition

5. D

 

As long as a Saturn owner has Panzer Dragoon Saga (PDS), Shining Force III, and NiGHTS in their collection, then it doesn't matter what else they have.

• I can't even begin to describe how awesome this game is. By a wide margin, it is the best video game ever made. It's the best RPG, and it has the best script of all video games.
  
• D is a personal favorite of mine. I loved this adventure game as a kid.
  
• Net Link was my first every access to the internet, message boards, chat rooms, porn, and my first website. It was also my first access to online gaming, and VO was my favorite to play. I was never defeated.
  

Sega CD

 

1. Snatcher

2. Sonic CD

3. Dark Wizard

4. Shining Force CD

 

I didn't really feel like doing a top ten, because those four are all I really care about. Hideo Kojima really out did himself with Snatcher. This is amung the best games ever made. I wish more games could be this amazing.

 

 

Sega Dreamcast

 

1. Phantasy Star Online

2. Sonic Adventure

3. Soul Calibur

4. Crazy Taxi

5. Seaman

6. Shenmue

7. D2

8. Jet Grind Radio

9. StarLancer

10. Draconus

• I know I threw you off with that list. Yes, PSO is my number one for only if it sucked up the most of my time.
  
• Sonic Adventure, JGR... for obvious reasons.
  
• Soul Calibur - Still looks better than a lot of PS2 games.
  
• Crazy Taxi is a game I once mastered. What a concept, made obselete by GTA and the likes.
  
• Who didn't love the crazy shit that Seaman would say?
  
• Shemnue doesn't seem so ambitious now, but I remember E3 2001. Yu Suzuki was on the stage giving a demo of Shenmue. He commanded Ryo to walk to the wall and turn off a light. The crown exploded with cheers. I thought I was at a Pantera concert.
  
• D2, the "first" 3rd party DC title. Misunderstood. An amazing psudo-RPG/horor hybrid. I can't wait for the "new WARP" to do something new.
  
• StarLancer... I am still undefeated online in this game. Also, this was the last great sapce/flight/sim ever released for PC or home console.
  
• Draconus was pretty awesome. Not fantastic, but an extreme amount of fun.
  

Milton Bradley Microvision

 

Since there are only 12 total games, here's a top two list:

 

1. Sea Duel

2. Blockbuster

• Sea Duel is a true classic, and it stands the test of time. The simple strategy games is perfect for Microvision's limited graphics. It remains very fun to this day. I can play it for a long time.
  
• Blockbuster... it's Breakout. But it's portable Breakout, and Breakout rules in the first place. It is hard though.
  

Xbox

 

1. Halo: Combat Evolved

 

Seriously, all other games are there just to take Halo breaks.

[SINGLE TOOTH]

Nice. I like how you actually justify your selections, instead of just a random looking list. Im curious too see what you would pick for N64, if you have one.

[A Sprite]

Good topic.

 

Let's take it from the top.

 

Atari 2600

 

1. Defender: Yes, the broken flicker fest that slushed in lobotomized slow motion across the screen. Make all the Special Olympics jokes you want, it's the only version of the game that's fun. First, let's talk graphics. Defender works better in cities at night instead of mountains.

 

It's the only time I've seen insanely bad graphics improve a game...imagination is key.

 

On to gameplay

 

The enemies are larger. The ship disappearing when you fire is an awesome defensive gameplay mechanic.

 

It is the definitive version of Defender.

 

It's also the sole reason I signed up for the forums here, strange as that seems now in retrospect.

 

2. Berzerk. Wild west style shoot outs with lasers and suicidal robots. Evil Otto gave me nightmares as a child.

 

3. Spider Fighter: Not as slow as Defender.

 

4. Communist Mutants From Space: Better than the classics.

 

5. Star Path Frogger: For the graphics whore in all of us.

 

6. Pitfall 2: Just for the soundtrack.

 

7. Yar's Revenge: the first boss to die right.

 

8. Activision Fishing: I hate fishing. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate.... That's how good this game is. It sets an impossible standard that the real thing can't hope to match.

 

9. Empire Strikes Back: David and Goliath and Goliath and Goliath and Goliath and Goliath...

 

10. I have twenty games I need to go play so as to answer this honestly...don't wait up.

[Rev. Rob]

Nice. I like how you actually justify your selections, instead of just a random looking list. Im curious too see what you would pick for N64, if you have one.

 

Thanks. I do actually own an N64, but the only game I have for it is Conker's Bad Fur Day.

 

However, if I were to make a "top" list for the system, it would go like this:

 

1. Super Mario 64

2. Goldeneye 007

3. Legend of Zelda: OoT

4. Ogre Battle 64

5. Conker's Bad Fur Day

6. Star Fox 64

• Super Mario 64 because it set the bar. All expectations for what a 3D world should look like and how it should behave were now set. It was the first true 3D game ever made. Seriously, mad props.
  
• Goldeneye 007 introduced true multiplayer gaming on a console. Nintendo had the right idea with four controller ports. If only they had the right idea with the storage medium, they would've creamed Sony, and Saturn would've got the number 2 spot.
  
• Zelda: OoT expanded what Mario 64 started out with, by increasing the size of worlds, levels of interactivity, and other effects.
  
• Ogre Battle 64 because I love me some strategy and Conker's because I think it was hilarious when it came out. It made a great swan song for N64.
  
• Star Fox wasn't that great of a rail shooter, (really, I am being honest here), but it was the first "rumble" game, and that was huge.

I have to disagree. I understand that there were 3D polygonal games prior to Mario 64, but none let you explore and interact with a 3D world the way that Mario 64 did. (And I've played Merc!)

 

If I call it the first true modern 3D game can we agree?

Nope, I would say 'Hunter' too, your on-screen character might have been small, but it was totally 3D, freedom of movement, interact with 3D world...5 years before Mario 64.

 

And even more so: Freescape games (1987) (almost 10 years before Mario 64):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freescape

 

So basically Mario 64 is/was only a 'also runs' 3D game, nothing new.

Edited July 5, 2007 by thomasholzer

[SINGLE TOOTH]

What about first 3d platformer?

 

BTW the trees in Mario 64 were 2D

 

Actually now that I think about it, WHO CARES? It's just one man's opinion and this is getting very off topic.

[darthkur]

This was asked a few months ago on a different board I frequent so I think I'll just be lazy and cut and paste my answers from there plus adding a couple here and there.

I have a really rough time deciding what game I like better than than another since there are so many I really enjoy so none of my selections are numbered. Sorry if that breaks the rules.

Speaking of 3-d, when did Battlezone come out?

[shadow460]

Whoo...here it goes...

 

Atari VCS:

1. Escape From the Mindmaster: A first person game of any type has to be commended on the VCS, especially when it's not full of jaggies. The action/puzzle mix puts the challenge on you to solve puzzles as fast as you can. This is a theme you will see repeated throughout my list.

2. Dragonstomper: It's the oldest RPG I have played, and it holds well against RPGs of similar length.

3. Pitfall II: The music is simply astounding here.

4. Phaser Patrol: The definitive space shooter. It stands head and shoulder above Starmaster, and Starmaster is a good game in its own right.

5. Warlords: Excellent party game.

6. Bump 'n' Jump: See Pitfall II above, but cripple the hardware a bit and drool when you get the same result.

7. Subterranea: This fast paced defender clone keeps one on their toes.

8. Pressure Cooker: You can't beat this for a long yet frantic game.

9. The Official Frogger by Sega: This is the definitive version of the game, bar none (for now).

10. Gyruss: Gotta give it props for the music (again) and the 3D scaling.

Saturn:

1. Shining the Holy Ark: Forget Shining Force III. In this game, the action keeps a good pace and you don't have to wait to see your enemies get their butts kicked.

2. NiGHTS Into Dreams. The visuals and themusic are both astounding--something you don't see done very often on the Saturn.

3. Virtual On: Operation Moongate: IMO, this is the absolute best fighting game on the planet.

4. Command & Conquer: Here's an excellent way to make a rainy day go by in less than ten minutes.

5. Enemy Zero: Another combination of action and puzzles. There's not really a time limit, but you have to think and stay on your toes at the same time.

6. Virtua Cop 2: Smooth and slick light gun action.

7. Solar Eclipse: Just listen to the comms--they're hilarious.

8. Gex: Once again, the comments are just plain funny.

9. Worldwide Soccer: Victory Goal Edition. I like the music, and it fits the pace of the game.

10. Tempest 2000: It's Tempest, 'nuff said.

 

PlayStation:

1. Final Fantasy 7: I feel like this balances gameplay and showing off quite well.

2. Colony Wars: Perhaps a bit better graphically than Vengeance due to the simplicity.

3. Red Alert: Retaliation: The videos were welcome, and a game like this takes guts to attempt on the PlayStation. Overall, I feel like this is a tad superior to the PC version.

4. wipEout XL: Wheels make any racing game boring, except...

5. Felony 11-79: It's great to trash expensive cars and not worry about it.

6. Um Jammer Lammy: Great beats, and just plain awesome characters.

7. Gran Turismo: I liked seeing a racing game that didn't feel cheesy, arcade, or generic.

8. Final Fantasy Tactics: ONce again, it's the music

9. Castlevania: Symphony in the Night: What's not to like?

10: Defcon 5: It follows the style of action/puzzle combos that I enjoy.

 

Nintendo 64:

1. Goldeneye: No explanation is needed.

2. Ocarina of Time: Once again, no explanation is needed.

3. wipEout 64: I feel like this is the second best installment of wipEout right behind purE. It's smoother than XL, and it added desperately needed weapons to the Piranha.

4. KI gold: A worthy successor to KI2.

5. Perfect Dark: I feel like this game continued where Goldeneye left off.

6. Pokemon Stadium 2: A surprisingly addictive strategy game that can be taken on the go.

7. Mario Tennis: The 3D courts and special effects make this game a blast to play.

8. StarFox 64: Great flight game, decent graphics, and the first with rumble pak support.

9. extreme-G: I think this game makes decent competition for wipEout, but it just isn't the same.

10. Majora's Mask: It's a pretty in depth game. So much so, in fact, that I have'nt finished it, although I'd like to someday.

 

PC:

1. Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge: It's hard to pick this over the main game, but I think the third side adds just enough to make it the better title.

2. Emperor: Battle for Dune: Westwood's first adventure into 3D RTS gaming did very well.

3. Final Fantasy 8: This was clearly the better port, IMO. The graphics were better, I got to play Chocobo World, and I didn't have to worry about getting screen time.

4. Unreal Tournament GOTY Edition: This has got to be the crack of FPS games. It's highly addictive.

5. Final Fantasy 7: Makes the PS1 port look bad. Sorry, but's it's superior in almost every way.

6. 1998 Sega Rally Championship: I was blown away by how well this racer handled on my PC. I got the steering wheel and never thought twice about how much it had cost.

7. Command & Conquer: Red Alert: This is another surprisingly addictive game. Being able to make your own maps is definitely a plus.

8. Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun: It's Command & Conquer, so it's going to be addictive!

9. Command & Conquer: Sole Survivior: This is a different take on the popular RTS game. You control ONE unit, and when it's gone, you're out. Basically, it's a MMORTS game. Groups of ten to fifteen people form teams, and they play together like it's a non base building C&C mission.

10. Who Wants to be a Millionaire: I enjoyed the chance to play for the virtual big money. It was cool for a time.

 

More to come later, and I might make a change or two.

PC:

1. Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge: It's hard to pick this over the main game, but I think the third side adds just enough to make it the better title.

2. Emperor: Battle for Dune: Westwood's first adventure into 3D RTS gaming did very well.

A little heavy on the C&C, are we? I don't think you can post any of those without including Total Annihilation somewhere in the list!
