WTF is this list?!
Every man in Ireland will be enraged by the lack of "Top o' the mornin' to ya"

 

[JRPereira]

That list is immediately invalidated by the lack of alien soldier.

 

[NotWii]

Not a single Nintendo game...

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Wow, I didn't notice the lack of Shadowrun and Master of Monsters, among others... Then again, I'm not going to really argue someone's personal top 200 list since I know mine is automatically better. :lol

If you want your site to have broader appeal, Zerostatic, I'd recommend that you let visitors dictate the list through on-site polls and email submissions. Posting your own list, described as your own personal one, is good, too. Being this late in the game with a Genesis/Mega Drive fansite is already tough if you're looking for regulars. Is it just limited to US releases?

Nothing beat the sonic series for me...I still can get that tune stuck in my head, such good times. So glad to see a mention given to cool spot aw memories

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

I fixed it up a little.

Not perfect, but I think it's more in tune with most people's tastes.

My top 10 would be:

1. Sonic 3 & Knuckles
2. Toe Jam & Earl
3. Dynamite Heady (vacuum head ftw )
4. Earthworm Jim
5. Quackshot
6. Decap Attack
7. Cool Spot
8. Strider (freaking love Strider)
9. Kid Chameleon
10. Mega Bomberman or maybe Gunstar Heroes

No sequels or else my list would just be full of Sonic, Earthworm, Cool spot and Toe Jam..

I also loved Ballz but that doesnt belong in my top 10

 

[Android18a]

Sonic 2 is right, but Crusader of Centry (soliel) and Rocket Knight Adventures should be higher up, IMHO. Like, number 2 and 3.

 

[ratcliffja]

I'm surprised how much I agree with a lot of that list. I definitely think Sonic 2 was the best, while Bloodlines would probably be in my top 10. Gunstar Heroes deserves to be at #3 as well.

 

[Pimpwerx]

How the hell is PS4 ahead of PS2? PS2 is the best Phantasy Star ever made. I've played PS2, 3 and 4, and 2 is the only one I never got to beat. And that's b/c it was the toughest and longest. PS2 >>>>> PS4 IMO. PEACE.

Better story, better characters, better graphics, better music hell PS4 did everything better, except maybe the plot twist in the ending.

Thanks for the replies, you guys have been very helpful in helping me fine-tune the list and pointing out games that I've overlooked.


For you people that are getting your panties in a bunch about the omission of a specific game, realize that in most cases I just simply forgot the game or thought that I did indeed have it there.


Anyways, keep the advice coming!
