Top 20 Video Games

What are the games from the alpha to currect that you hold in high regard?

I will come up with a list later, but I can tell you my favorite game of all time:

Final Fanasty 7- A timeless masterpiece.

(Mike Tyson's)Punch Out and Mortal Kombat have always been my favorite games. I'll have to think about a top 20 though. I'm not much of a gamer now, and most of my favorite games would be from the NES and SNES era.

Most of these games are pretty old, but I don't play a ton of video games anymore. These are games I've been hooked on as a child as well, so they are sort of in the order of most played...the first 4 are definitely in order:

Super Mario Brothers 3
Sonic The Hedgehog
Super Mario Brothers 2
Super Mario Brothers
RC Pro-AM
Contra
NHL 94
Rad Racer
Tecmo Bowl
Ninja Gaiden
Paperboy
Excitebike
California Games
Double Dragon
RBI Baseball
NBA Jam
Mega Man 2
Dr. Mario
Ducktales
The Simpsons
Blades Of Steel
Off Road
Tennis
Ice Hockey
P.O.W.

That's a bit more than 20, but I couldn't stop thinking of them. I played the shit out of all these games! Damn, I wish I still had a lot of these. I've been buying old NES (and SNES/Genesis) games for the Wii lately as well. They don't have enough though. lol

The greatest...

Same here. I only had Genesis back in the day, but nowadays I have an old SNES that one of my buddies left at my house like 3 years ago. So I've been buying used games for that off Amazon. So they are sort of interchangeable to me now.

They revamped Ninja Gaiden 2 for the Playstation 3 that was originally made for the Xbox 360 and they call it Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Ninja Gaiden has to be one of the hardest games I ever played in my life...

Oooooh for sure! Forgot about Excitebike and Excitebike 64. Both those are classics

Did anybody else enjoy that game Skate or Die? Me and my friends would compete in that for hrs.

Is that the Skateboard game where there was you'd do like Vert comps and it had street courses? If so, that game was dope

Ah, My bad. I didn't notice it the first time i read your post

Skate or Die...i remember that shit..i was like 4-5, but i remember it....


Fuckin' Battletoads and Earthworm Jim, remember those??

the Bucky O' Hare arcade game...Metal Slug....the Cruisin' USA/World driver's seat arcade...what else??

Skate or Die was fun, I even tried to skateboard after that. Didn't go too well though.

Battletoads is great and Super Battletoads.

I like both Cruisin Games and was killer in them. Starfox was pretty cool too.

Anybody play E.V.O.?

Favorite Zombie games:

Zombies Ate My Neighbor (SNES and on Wii Marketplace now) - great little adventure game.. I guess its a 2D third person shooter? Either way, dope game.

Dead Rising - Basically replaying Dawn of the Dead... GTA for zombies, dope and funny shit... like jamming a shower head into a zombie's head and making it shower blood.

Land of the Dead - cheap, but dope, computer game coinciding with the movie... got horrible reviews but I could play through this every day and still love it.

Left 4 Dead - dope co-op shooter - haven't tried the second one yet.

Killing Floor - sort of like left 4 dead but a lot harder IMO, dope computer game.

Zombie Driver - crazy taxi meets zombies, fun little game, but gets hard quick ()

RE4 - Classic here - honestly not a huge fan of the first because of the controls, but this one here is perfection.

House of the Dead/Typing of the Dead - dope in the arcade and at home, typing of the dead is especially fun (ny).
