Top 100 video games

[Eismann]

Whoa nelson. On pc/console, non-arcade for me:

- Ultima series
- Questron
- Castle Wolfenstein
- Doom series
- Diablo 1, 2
- EAS NHL series
- Hot Shots Golf
- Mario Bros.

[Spangler]

1) Zombies Ate My Neighbors

2) Everything else

That game just has that "It" factor that works. I never beat the game. I made it to the final stage a few years ago, but I ran out of keys and couldn't unlock the final door to the final boss. Spent like an hour trying to find another key somewhere, but couldn't.

The top 10s on here are more reasonable than the list originally posted.

I may give a shot at mine, but I have to think about it some more.

Since we all clearly disagree with the list, I thought it'd be fun to do individual top 10s. (These are games that were important to me, not necessarily the best of all time.)

Mortal Kombat 1/2
NHL 95
Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars
Monster Truck Madness 2
Need for Speed
Grand Theft Auto Vice City
Supercross 2001
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1
Sonic and Tails (2? 3?)
WWF No Mercy

I remember as a kid on Christmas morning opening presents and I didn't have a Sega Genesis yet but my neighbor did.. Well as I'm opening gifts I discover Mortal Kombat 2 and I was so distraught that Santa brought me a Sega game but I didn't have a Sega so my parents told me I'd have to give it to the neighbor or whatever and then of course a few minutes later I find the box with the Sega in it and was thrilled /csb

[FreeCandy44]

I blew so many quarters on that TMNT game back in the early 90s.

I get it, I get it...

BTW, offsides is the second or third oldest poster on this board and he probably has a better knowledge of current video games than even I do.

He is seriously my role model for myself in 35 years.

[canaan]

Top ten (INPO)
Zelda (series; best--Ocarina of Time)
Mario (series; best--Mario 64)
Suikoden (series; best--Suikoden II)
Chrono (series; best--Chrono Trigger)
Bill Walsh 95
Final Fantasy (series; best--FF7)
Goldeneye
Metroid (series; best--Original)
Tomb Raider (series; best--Original)
King's Quest (series; Sierra Games)

[Gaucho]

As somebody else mentioned in another thread, I also figured offsides was way younger.

But I have to admit that I'm quite allright with not playing any video games anymore. I tend to be quite stubborn and never quit when I should.

[Willie Kool]

The top ten I probably spent the most time playing:

Castle Wolfenstein (Apple II)
Galaxian / Galaga (Arcade)
Pole Position (Arcade)
Spy Hunter (Arcade)
Tempest (Arcade)
Blades of Steel (NES)
Defender of the Crown (NES)
Genghis Khan (NES)
Tecmo Super Bowl (NES)
NHL '94 (Genesis)

[columbia]

Offsides is always bragging about being retired, so I thought it was obvious.

[LeopardLetang]

defender of the crown. nice call.
