Agree? Disagree? Discuss.
They have a few other countdowns on there this weekend, as well, but I thought this one was the most interesting.

All quality titles. I just cant see the point trying to arrande them in any order. And if they HAVE to do it, they really shouldnt list games from the same series.
Oh..and The Lost World: Jurassic Park (arcade) really really really kicks ass!
Saw this before. While all these appeared on Sega consoles, they weren't all developed by Sega. I don't consider Gunstar Heroes a Sega game. Kind of weird, there are a ton of awesome titles not mentioned.

A decent list but like most, flawed IMO.
Sonic 2 as #1.... O_O
I would have figured that the list would have populated by games actually developed by Sega, not necessarily those that were developed by another company but published by Sega (Gunstar Heroes, Herzog Zwei) or published by another company and appearing on one of Sega's consoles (Disney's Aladdin).
If we're to accept those rules for the list then there's a few noticeable titles missing that I can think of (along with some actual Sega developed titles not listed)....
Guardian Heroes (Treasure developed but published by Sega)
Dragon Force (Working Designs published but Sega developed)
Fantasy Zone
Landstalker (developed by Climax, published by Sega)
Shining Force

Not the best lis, But not the worst. There are 3 Sonic The Hedgehog games on it. I like all 3 of those games but don't you think one Sonic game is enough for a list?
Good thing they listed NiGHTS, Jet Grind Radio and Crazy Taxi. The list would have been worthless without those three.

I find TJ&E to a boring game. I liked it when I was younger but it is really boring now.

Virtua Tennis 3 doesn't belong on there. It's too new.

Sonic CD was my favorite. One of my first ever games.

Yeah, the original Virtua Tennis would have made more sense. It was amazing when it first came out and blew all other tennis games away. Virtua Tennis 3 looks just like every other tennis game out there now though.
Shinobi III should be replaced with Revenge Of Shinobi. And I don't even know why Aladdin is on this list.

Hmm. Am I the only one who liked Panic on Funkotron more than TJ+E? A minor point in comparison to the whole list; I only ask because Panic on Funkotron is one of my absolute favorite games of all time.
Nope, I love the sequel much more- then again, it was the first TJ&E game I played.

No love for Skies of Arcadia? Fools.

I agree with that, where's the love.

No love for Shining Force either, but at least Streets of Rage II got a nod.

A few years ago I would have agreed with you. I played PoF when I was younger and loved it. Later on when emulation came around I downloaded the original, thinking it WAS PoF. I was really disappointed, and thought the game sucked. Fast forward to two winters ago. There was a blizzard, and my neighbor had TJ+E 1. He told me it was amazing and that we had to play it. I reluctantly agreed. I was blown away. I thought the whole experience was so cool and original. I think playing it solo would probably be a bit dull, but it's got to be one of the best multiplayer experiences I've ever had.
Of course the following week we played and beat PoF (first time for both of us). Such an amazing sequel...
And once again Alex Kidd in Miracle World and Phantasy Star 1 get shafted! :( Total BS!

I agree with PS 1 not being on the list...total BS. Some I agree with, as I do like that Streets 2 got some credit. I dont thing that several Sonic games need to be on the same list. I personally like Sonic CD the best.
I second Revenge of Shinobi needing to be on there....hard and fun game...

Only agree with the first place. Sonic 2 is the best. No doubt.

What about Shenmue? This is unacceptable!

I'd agree with the list had they not left one game off.
Zaxxon.
Hello??? It's the game that put Sega on the map, to begin with (next to a licensed Frogger)??

Um, where was Shenmue?
The list, for the lack of that one missing game, is total crap.

Not the way I would make a top 20 list but still nice overall. Disney's Alladin and NFL 2K5 Virtua Tennis 3 don't need to be on there, too new and not 'that' good for Alladin. Sub out Phantasy Star 2 for 1 or even 4, they're better games. Rez is kinda meh to me. It's a good game but 'best ever'... probably not. Sonic CD and Outrun should be higher up the list. Just my opinion.
The only spot I would agree with 100% is Sonic 2 at #1.
And where's the Shining Force series in this list. At least one of them should have made the list.

All right, here we go...
Sonic 2 and Crazy Taxi above NiGHTS? No Burning Rangers? No Shenmue?! No Shining? Where the hell is Comix Zone and Ecco? Vectorman? Space Harrier anyone? Golden fucking Axe!!!
Aladdin?! NFL 2K5? Okay, I love these games as much as the next guy, but come on! One was a licensed game, and the other part of a yearly sports franchise. VF should be on there, and not VF5. Same with Virtua Tennis.
Oh and, since they seem content on putting games that were just released hours ago on there, where's Panzer Dragoon Orta? Where's Shenmue II?
Hell, if Aladdin is on there, where's Adventures of Batman & Robin? A game known for it's amazing graphics, perfect soundtrack, absolutely brutal difficulty, and (to me anyway) addictive gameplay?
Hey, at least Phantasy Star II was on there, and not PSO.
But come on... NO SHENMUE?!?!?!?!!!
Bullshit list. Simple as that. As a hardcore Sega nut, this just further proves people's ignorance.
Oh and, as for Sonic... Sonic 3 & Knuckles > Sonic CD > Sonic > Sonic 2. I'm most likely in the majority minority (What the hell did I just say?), when Sonic 2 was my least favorite of the series.
