Rendclaw Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 Okay kids, on another thread, someone mentioned Dolphin for the 2600, and seeing as my mind goes off on tangents, I came up with this question: What were the best games on each platform, going back as far as you can remember? For me, the list goes like this: Atari 2600: Seaquest/Stargate (tie) Atari 5200: Pac-Man (I was SO starved for a real translation, that this was the only game I had for the 5200) Atari 7800: Pole Position Intellivision: Advanced Dungeons and Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin Colecovision: Donkey Kong (see above for why) NES: Baseball Stars Genesis: (tie) NBA Live 96/Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition/Super Street Fighter II SNES: Lufia II 3DO: AD&D Hack Neo-Geo: Metal Slug 2 or X N64: Rogue Squadron Saturn: Street Fighter Alpha 2 (perfect translation, AND a gauntlet mode) PSX: Street Fighter Alpha 3 PS2: (tie) Smackdown SYM/Baldur's Gate Gamecube: Rogue Leader I never fooled with an XBox long enough to have a favorite. This was tough as I had to flashback more than 20 years, when my mother bought me a Sears Tele-Games (atari 2600) in 1980 (or was it 81?) and come forward in time. Your lists?
Guest goodhelmet Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 hmmm, thought you meant what were the best platform games ala mario etc. well, i like my topic better so i'll say my favorite platform games are the 1st 3 mario games and ape escape for the ps1.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 Most of those aren't even platform games though.
Rendclaw Posted July 2, 2003 Author Report Posted July 2, 2003 All right all right, I used the wrong word. substitute "console" for "platform" and try again. sheesh.
Guest Sakura Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 Atari 2600: Kaboom! NES: Contra SNES: Super Metroid Genesis: Streets of Rage 2 PSX: Mortal Kombat Trilogy PS2: Tekken 4 Saturn: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 N64: GoldenEye 32X: DOOM Sega CD: Final Fight Dreamcast: Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Xbox: Halo Gamecube: Resident Evil
Rendclaw Posted July 2, 2003 Author Report Posted July 2, 2003 ::sighs:: thank you, Sakura-chan, I knew I could count on you. hmm, the only game I played for the DC with any kind of regularity was Virtual On... I'll have to second Final Fight on Sega CD, and put Shadow Squadron for the 32X
Guest Renegade Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 These are my current opinions as it is pretty damn hard to pick things like this. NES: Megaman 3 Master System: One of the sonics Genesis: Sonic 3 added onto Sonic and Knuckles SNES: Mario World or one of the Megaman X games Sega CD: Snatcher and I'll be dammed if anyone says anything else. 32X: Blackhawk (I think thats the name...haven't touched the cart in ages) Neo-Geo: *head hurts* Either Metal slug 3 or King of fighters 98...oh wait or Mark of the wolves. N64: Zelda Saturn: Viruta fighter 2 PSX: Either Resident Evil 2 or one of the Megaman X games. Dreamcast: Now this is the hardest...tossup between King of fighters dream match, Mark of the wolves or Street fighter Alpha 3...oh and Sonic adventure 2 or Street fighter 3 double impact...also can't forget Soul Calibur and Virtua Tennis... PS2: Capcom vs SNK 2 Gamecube: Zelda X-box: Halo Gamegear: Sonic 2 Gameboy/Pocket: Mario land 2 Gameboy color: Pokemon gold/Silver Gameboy advance: Final fight one Neo geo pocket: King of fighters R-1 Neo geo pocket color: Match of the millenium. Wonderswan color: Megaman EXE WS or Guilty gear petit 3DO: The need for speed. Commodore 64: Ghostbusters Jaguar: I dont have one, piece of crap. MSX: Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
Guest razazteca Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 Mario - Nes Sonic - Genesis Castlevania - GBA Metriod - SNES Zelda - N64 Bonk - TG16 Toki - Lynx Marvel vs Capcom - Dreamcast GTA - PS2 Final Fantasy - PS1
Guest AndrewTS Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 NES -- Super Mario Bros. SNES -- Super Metroid with Yoshi's Island a close 2nd or so. Genesis -- Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 & Knuckles (although it has a ton of other great games I still have). Sega CD -- Probably Lunar but I never played it until it PS version came out, so in its stead either Mickey Mania or Sonic CD. 32X -- The flawed but likable Knuckles' Chaotix Saturn -- VAMPIRE SAVIOR!! Capcom rules. Playstation -- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Konami rocks. n64 -- WWF No Mercy. Dreamcast -- Too many to choose, but I'd say I play Powerstone 2 the most. GBA -- Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Konami still rocks. Playstation 2 -- Devil May Cry or Klonoa 2 (Capcom rules, and can Namco quit crapping out Tekkens and give us more Klonoas?) Gamecube -- Metroid Prime
