Cousin Vinnie Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Here I go with a list that really surprises me....but after I think about it, these games were the ones that really captivated me and kept me playing video games. #10 (tie)Road Rash II- Sega Genesis #10 Scorched Earth (The Mother of All Games)- PC #9 Midnight Mutants- Atari 7800 #8 Legend of Zelda Ocrana of Time- N64 #7 Pro Wrestling- NES #6 Solaris- Atari 2600 #5 Goldeneye- N64 #4 BC Racers- Sega CD #3 Rampart- Atari Lynx #2 Herzog Zwei- Sega Genesis #1 Street Fighter II- SNES Honorable Mentions go to: Mike Tyson's Punch Out (NES)/ Mario Kart Double Dash (GC)/ Everquest Online Adventures (PS2) Funny thing is, the game Fatal Run for the Atari 7800 is a terrible game, but I played that thing over and over for hours on end. I always wanted that game, and when I finally got it for 2 bucks at Big Lots, I wore it out. Man, that game used to hypnotize me.

DracIsBack Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Funny thing is, the game Fatal Run for the Atari 7800 is a terrible game, but I played that thing over and over for hours on end. I always wanted that game, and when I finally got it for 2 bucks at Big Lots, I wore it out. Man, that game used to hypnotize me. LOL - I was the same way. To me, FATAL RUN seemed like a game that was gonna be good (cool title screen, passwords, lots of levels, cut scenes, weapons, awesome animated ending) but just wasn't all that fun to play - but I kept playing it! Late last year, I found another game from the "try to like it, even though I really don't think it's any good" category - KNIGHT RIDER on the NES. Graphics are worse than Fatal Run and the game just isn't any fun. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Havoc 2049 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 It's too hard to make a top 10 with all the great classics from the past on the 2600 and 8/16 bit computers. The Pitfall series, HERO, Bruce Lee, Pirates, Silent Service, Miner 2049, Centipede, etc. etc.....too many to list. I'll put a modern slant on my current top 10, with a few classics. 1. Halo 2. Tempest 2000 3. Star Raiders 4. Ninja Gaiden(Xbox version) 5. Their Finest Hour 6. Alien vs Predator(Jag version) 7. Cybermorph/Battlemorph 8. GunValkyrie 9. Shenmue 10. Panzer Dragoon Orta argh...still want to list more, but it's only a top 10 list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzLee Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 In thinking back, I couldn’t think of just 10. There are so many close to my heart. Here are my alltime favs (no particular order) Alien vs Predator (Atari Jaguar) Pitfall (Atari 2600) Adventure (Atari 2600) Donkey Kong (Arcade/Colecovision) Tempest 2000 (Jaguar) Combat (Atari 2600) San Fransicso Rush (Arcade/N64) HALO (XBOX) Escape From The Mind Master (Atari 2600) Dragon Stomper (Atari 2600) Metroid Zero – Awesome remake of the original (Nintendo GBA) Defender (Arcade) Star Raiders (Atari 8bit) Super Mario World – Best Pack-in game Eva! (NES) I’d like to mention Slot Racers as well (Yes, I know you are all laughing). It doesn’t seem much like now, but I had a lot of fun with it in the very early days of the Atari 2600. One night we played it until 4:00 a.m. I had to goto school that day (got up at 6:30 a.m.)and the maze was still burned into my eyes all through 1st period. All I could see and dream was Slot racers and my imagination went wild about what it would be like to drive in such a maze in a 3D world. -Lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cootster Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Wolfenstein 3D (the original) Keystone Kapers (2600/5200) Galaga (arcade, and just the arcade. Every contemporary home conversion of it blows) Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (gift from someone who probably should've known better, and then I actually started playing it. Extremely addictive.) Super Mario Bros. 3 1995card (odd shareware hanafuda game I got on a budgetware compilation, and promptly found to be insanely fun) Antarctic Adventure (CV) Lady Bug (arcade/CV) Yar's Revenge (2600) SimCopter (This game is just begging for a remake, IMO) Comix Zone (Mega Drive -- It was never a US Genesis release, right?)
