Just been tallying up the totals so far...

We're doing pretty well.

Although we NEED MORE BLOODY ALEX KIDD LOVE!!

Come on guys, do it as a token of appreciation for all the hard work I'm putting in please :lol:

D4X73r · Nov 16, 2021

1. Super Mario Bros. 3
2. Super Mario Bros. 1
3. Kickle Cubicle (had to google this for it's name)

I haven't played more games on NES

P-Nut · Nov 16, 2021

Every game I've thought about picking for the mega drive is already being mentioned down here. Never realised so many of them were out on the master system,

Ødegaard · Nov 16, 2021

1. SMB3
2. The Legend of Zelda
3. Mother/Earthbound
4. Mega Man 3
5. Willow

Didn't have atari, and while I enjoyed Alex the Kidd and have the tune stuck in my head often enough I can't push any of the current ones out of the list for it.

Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest laid good foundations for games to come, but neither are games that are as enjoyable to play today as the other 5 who made my list are.

OleBoiii · Nov 16, 2021

I'm not mentally prepared for Round 3. Just 2 games from this list will make it in(and I've probably omitted at least another 10 great games):

Ocarina Of Time
Majora's Mask
Super Mario 64
Mario Kart 64
Mario Party
Goldeneye 007
Perfect Dark
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Super Smash Bros.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Kick out Metal Gear. It'll be easier to include it in PS1 gen!

It's bloody impossible. Swap out Final Fantasy, Conkers and Tekken for Driver, Time Crisis and Jonah Lomu Rugby and you and I have the same list pretty much.

Yeah that's a solid round but round 2 would be tougher for me personally.

bosnian_red · Nov 16, 2021

Don't know anything about third and 4th gen. 5th and 6th Gen I'll probably end up voting for my most nostalgic games from those eras more so than the best as I was a kid, but all the same! Good idea. This format is probably better. IGNs ends up being a big circle jerk around some games.

altodevil · Nov 16, 2021

I think it should have been split by console for the most part, with a generational cross-party choice as per.

Can't. Disliked the MGS games in general.
Could kick it off for Willow though, which would have been on the list if it had a save function.

That would have made this contest never ending :lol:

Maybe if this is a success, we can do something like that in the future, especially when I'm less busy.

I still need one of you cnuts to give Alex Kidd a few more points. I'm getting desperate :lol:

The fact there’s not even an arcade round! :lol:

I'm kinda surprised that there are people who have never played NES or SNES games. Really? You haven't played Contra or Super Mario or Double Dragon or Galaga etc? These games went around for ages, I started gaming in the 90s but I still had NES consoles and played those games to no end. And they went for quite a long time before future gens/PC completely took over. Heck, I still feel like playing them from time to time using an emulator.

Ødegaard · Nov 16, 2021

Updated my list. Willow on at 5th.

I am surprised that people haven’t played them via emulation, at least, tbh.

But I guess the appeal of 8-bit tech, if you’ve never invested time in it could be seen as a bridge too far.

I missed out on the initial run of Vice City, and tried to play it after playing San Andreas, but the controls were so retrograde, I couldn’t do it, so maybe that’s similar for people going back too far in time with some games considered classics.?

Yeah, I just assumed everyone would have owned the NES consoles at some point.

But really, if you haven't played those games, then, well, it's pretty weird for me to imagine. :lol:

Updated my list. Willow on at 5th.

I also advise changing Earthbound to Earthbound Beginnings (the name it was given in the Wii U update)

Earthbound is the SNES one (aka Mother 2) and I think a few people will probably pick it in the next round.

Yes I'm being a nitpicking nerd and yes I am sorry.

Aladdin was a hell of a game, but I have it on my list for the next round.

Was it around this early?

It was, although not nearly as good. The issue with this generation (and Wii U) is that a lot of the best games were done better with the follow up consoles.

I thought the same. I’m of an age where I remember constantly nagging my mum for 10p so I could go and play Pac Man, Green Beret or Paperboy. Or even better, that old vector graphic sit down Star Wars game. Some of my all time faves are from that era. Completely limited in comparison to Gen 4 gaming but the impact they had on me was immense.

And the fact this poll only starts with Gen 4 when I had a wooden topped Atari 2600 playing Qbert and Frogger :lol:

Old b*stard status confirmed!

Streets of rage is a Round 2 game (mega drive) and Aladdin too I think?

Streets of rage 1 and 2 were both playable on the master system and the mega drive/genesis
