TiffToff88 Posted 4 May 2017 Share Posted 4 May 2017 I've had this totally original and absolutely not copied (from the top 10 PS2 and N64 games threads) idea for a thread.

Aladdin 6. The Lion King 7. Sensible Soccer 8. Premier Manager 9. Golden Axe 10. James Pond 3 - Operation Starfish Found it really hard keeping it down to just 10 games, but these have got to be my favourits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcarr21 Posted 4 May 2017 Share Posted 4 May 2017 James Pond 3 with the cheat code of putting in all green frogs to play as the green frog . What a game. Absolutely loved Road Rash. Smashing people on bikes with chains. Zool and Cool Spot were classics as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue ROI Posted 4 May 2017 Share Posted 4 May 2017 FIFA 93 (There was some hype about this when first released. Was well justified though) Mortal Kombat 2 NHL 94 Micro Machines NBA Jam Sonic 2 (Collecting the rings with Tails!) Eternal Champions Virtua Racing (Graphics were a big deal in the pre-3D era) Dr Robotniks Mean Bean Machine (Columns not far off) Streets Of Rage Some good games but I always preferred the Super NIntendo.Always seemed the much cooler console.

It had tighter gameplay, better level design and the soundtrack was way better (even with the hugely limited soundchip). My top 10: 1. Streets of Rage 2. Just perfect - 10/10 gameplay and soundtrack. Shame that SOR3 fvcking stank, and that Sega binned the series off and no one makes scrolling beaters anymore. 2. Sonic 3 (/& Knuckles). Great level design, music, and the Get Blue Spheres bonus levels were great fun and used some great trickery to make the Megadrive look way ahead of its time. 3. Street Fighter 2 Special Champion Edition. The best 16-bit port of SF2 Turbo. The Super SF2 port, although great gameplay-wise, was massively let down by sound compression so all the music sounded shite. 4. Sonic 1. The original and one of the best, really charming game that still plays really well today. 5. Streets of Rage. Although a blatant rip-off of Final Fight, Streets of Rage battered it in terms of gameplay and sound design. 6. Aladdin. Great platformer, even amongst other great Disney games of the time. 7. Lost Vikings. One of my few favourites that I haven't got around to playing in recent years, from what I remember it was really good, challenging as hell and rammed full of levels. 8. Toejam & Earl. Mental, fun, and genuinely funny. 9. Decap Attack. Great platformer using the same mechanics as Psycho Fox on the Master System. 10. Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Worth playing just for the 2-player battle music. Honourable mentions: Gunstar Heroes, Splatterhouse, Zombies Ate My Neighbours, Columns, Lion King, Road Rash + 2, Kid Chameleon, Rocket Knight Adventures, Ecco (for its bizarre ambience more than anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
