5 BEST?

[jhammond]

More 2600:

Tutankham, Phoenix, Enduro, Keystone Kapers, Gangster Alley

 

The others are not important enough to remember five good games

 

thanks for mentioning Tutankham as one of the greatest. we're in the minority here, most people "slam" this awesome game...it's so misunderstood.

SNES

Michael Jordan - Chaos in the Windy City

 

Funny, I literally JUST read the videogamecritic's review on that one...

http://videogamecrit..._the_Windy_City

He totally bombs it, but he has missed the mark before so....?

I have never played it. I've recently been playing the Spacejam pinball machine at my cousins and people ALWAYS say what a shitty game it is when truthfully, it's actually pretty fun. That promted me to look up Chaos, I'm still going to buy it even though he slammed it.

 

WTF? Never even heard of this one.

2600 - Berzerk, Ms. Pac-Man

 

7800 - Donkey Kong, Ballblazer, Dig Dug.

 

NES - Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Mega Man 2, Legend of Zelda, Contra

 

SNES - Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting (not Super), Final Fantasy II, Legend of Zelda: LTP

 

Sega Genesis - NHL '94, Streets of Rage 2, Ghouls'n Ghosts,

 

Then get the Power Base Convertor for your Genesis to play:

 

SMS - Phantasy Star, Wonder Boy III.

7800 - You're basically looking at arcade ports with this one. I'll go with, Ms. Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man (homebrew, you can get it in the AA store), Beef Drop (another homebrew, available in the AA store),

 

I've wanted a home version of Super Pac-Man for a while, but I don't have a 7800. Is this the best/only console port there is?

I'm going to put into 2 categories: 5 best games in my opinion and the "5 must have", i.e., a mixture of 5 best, but including more classic, representative or important to the platform, also in my opinion.

 

5 Best Atari 2600: 5 Best Hero, Enduro, Frostbite, River Raid, Frogger

5 must have: Enduro, River Raid, Kaboom (you must have paddles to play it), Yars Revenge, Berzerk

 

Atari 7800: I'm discovering the system too

 

5 Best NES: Super Mario 1, Super Mario 3, Castlevannia 3, Batletoads, Mega Man 3

5 must have: Super Mario 1, Super Mario 3, Castlevania, Contra, Zelda

 

5 Best SNES: Super Metroid (don't leave this awesome game behind), Street Fighter II Turbo: hyperfighting (not the super), Zelda a link to the past, Castlevania IV, Super Mario World.

5 must have: just change Castlevania for Chronotrigger.

 

Sega Genesis: Sonic 2, Flashback. (One list because I didn't play Genesis that much)

It's on Namco Museum volume 2 for the original PlayStation. I can't vouch for the conversion, but I would assume it's good like the others on those compilations. There is also a Jakks Pacific Super Pac-Man themed plug 'n play released a few years back. It's good, too.
