Cap'n Yashiro, your choices for best/worst on the SMS are quite odd.... Have you ever tried Global Defense in 2 controller mode?


Anyway,

Sega Master System
Best: ....Um, that's a toughie! So many awesome games....I'll go with the ever popular Wonder Boy III to play it safe
Worst: 20 em 1 sucks pretty bad, but I'll cut it a little slack for being made by TecToy, and choose ALF for being so slapped together that when Alf turns, he disappears for a few frames.

Other Systems: I don't really care.

[harmonicaman]

no one has mentioned legend of success joe, on the neo geo. has to be the worst neo geo game to ever come along...ever. it was supposed to be boxing and an adventure game in one, but it came out as a kind of rock em sock em robots go to wal-mart type of thing, far from what it was supposed to be.

Playstation: Um Jammer Lammy/Rugrats (any of 'um)
Jaguar: Tempest 2000/Bubsy: Fractured Fairy Tails
Saturn: Three Dirty Dwarves/NBA Jam Extreme

[Kid Ice]

This requires a little more time and thought than I'm willing to give right now (it is much easier than an all out Top 10 though), so here I'll wing it:

2600
B: Demon Attack
W: Football

O2
B: Pick Axe Pete
W: Alien Invaders Plus

INTV
B: AD&D (the 1st one)
W: can't think of one, not enough experience here

VECTREX
B: Minestorm
W: Spike

C64
B: Wasteland
W: what a great machine...it's taking all I have to even think of a bad one....wow, I can't even do it! I know I played many bad games on the machine, but none of them are really memorable to me (and this is not a system I collect so I have to rely on memory), I only remember the good ones!...how about "GBA 2 on 2 Basketball"...and even that one wasn't so bad

NES
B: SMB3
W: Tetris...ha, ha, just kidding. Paperboy.

GENESIS
B: Gunstar Heroes
W: Out of this World

SNES
B: Street Fighter 2
W: haven't played enough...give bloodless Mortal Kombat a dishonorable mention here

3DO
B: Need for Speed
W: Jonny Bazookatone

SATURN
B: Radiant Silvergun
W: Creature Shock

PSX
B: Wipeout XL
W: Fighter Maker

N64
B: Goldeneye
W: Space Station Silicon Valley

DC
B: Jet Grind Radio
W: Space Channel 5

PS2
B: GTAVC
W: HSX

GC
B: Metroid Prime
W: none yet...let's just say that Super Mario Sunshine is the game I like least out of the 20 or so GC games I've played

[jdc]

Hmmm. I don't have much experience with the older systems, but I'm buying them and liking them more than the modern stuff.....which is why I'm here.

I clocked a hell of a lot of time on the N64. My PERSONAL fave N64 game would be The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When I had finished, I felt like I really had travelled all of Hyrule to take down the evil Ganon. I pitied young Link as he took on this huge quest. I found it to be an incredibly immersive game. My personal least favorite would have to be Blast Corps, even though I'm a fan of Rare. It was a chore to play for some reason. Actually the SLOWEST game would easily be Aidyn Chronicles. The system gets an RPG....and it gets the slowest battle system I've yet to endure.

PSX. Personal fave would be a toss between Gran Turismo and Final 7....only because of the amount of time that I spent playing them both. Sure there are better games.

PS2. Best game? Easy. Jak And Daxter. Modern platformer with heart. Worst game? Easy again. Grand Theft Auto Three. Pretty sad when a game is a top seller to people who don't even bother to play the central game.

Dreamcast. Personal fave...Shenmue. Immmersive. Gives me the warm and fuzzies. Worst game? There isn't one that I didn't like at least a little bit..

XboX and Cube...so far it's hard to say what.

GBA. Personal fave would have to be.......Golden Sun simply because it felt right. I don't have a worst yet.

Have you played King's Field yet? :p

try The Grinch or Soul Fighter :)

[Hypnotuba]

. . .here's a list of some of my favorites/least favorites. Favorites are generally games that I really liked at first, and continue to come back to, and probably always will. Least favorites are, well, games that smelled outrageously and are so bad that they infuse the games near them alphabetically on my shelf with their pungence. :)

Dreamcast
Favorite: Rez, Crazy Taxi, Bangai-O (tie)
Least favorite: Max Steel: Covert Missions

Jaguar
Fav: Tempest 2000
L fav: International Sensible Soccer

PlayStation
Fav: Moto Racer, Wipeout XL, Vib Ribbon (a three way tie. . .)
L fav: VTennis, LSD (oh no! another tie! be more decisive!!)

Saturn
Fav: Radiant Silvergun, Bomberman
L fav: Hexen

Genesis
Fav: Gunstar Heroes, Paperboy 2
L fav: Hard Drivin'

NES
Fav: Contra, Super Mario Bros.
L fav: Cyberball

Sorry about all the ties! And I even left off games so I didn't have, say, 7 -way ties. :D

[AB Positive]

Neo Geo B:Fatal Fury Special W:Art of Fighting


What's with the AoF hate? Dear god, on the Neo you have Agressors of Dark Kombat, Legend of Successor Joe... Dare I call upon the evil ghost of that freaky Mahjong game with the girls that look like 45 year old men?

Oh art of fighting 2 and 3 were sweet, but the first one kinda blew. I'd say its the worst fighter I've played, or attempted to play, barring street fighter 1.

What is it with the first in every fighter series blowing ass? Except for a few exceptions, it seems to be the rule.

[badinsults]

Here goes:

NES: Best - Dragon Warrior 4/Super Mario Bros series, Worst - Deadly Castles (or whatever it was called)

Snes: Best - Final Fantasy II/ Yoshi's Island, Worst - Captain Novolin

Playstation: I haven't played a whole lot on it, but I really liked Twisted Metal 2 and played it a lot.

Genesis: Best - Aladdin (again, haven't played a whole lot, but I really liked it).

I agree with you.
The 20 em 1 is a terrible game produced by Tec Toy.

Just the ones youve played obviously. Best/most well-rounded/most fun games on each platform, licensed or unlicensed, any region.

My list... it's kind of boring and predictable but here it is

NES: Super Mario Bros. 3
SNES: Super Mario World
N64: Super Mario 64
GC: Super Mario Sunshine
Genesis: Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Dreamcast: Sonic Adventure
PS1: Resident Evil
PS2: Grand Theft Auto 3
Xbox: Halo
GB: Tetris
GBC: Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons
GBA: Advance Wars
Arcade: Track and Field

The other systems I just havent played enough to give a well rounded answer to. I picked these games because generally speaking they were system sellers. Other than Sonic Adventure, I'd say every game in the list borders on perfection if such a thing exists. Sonic Adventure has its flaws but in my opinion is still a technical marvel and a game I come back to over and over. The Mario games IMO are usually the best games on Nintendo platforms. Its obviously their flagship series and a ton of talent and money goes into those games. They are easy, pick up and play games, bright and colorful, with universal appeal.

PS1/PS2 was hard to choose because there are so many awesome games on the platform and there isnt a clear winner that stands out as leagues above the rest. I couldve gone with a number of games but Resident Evil was a landmark title that I feel made people take console games seriously. I cant really think of many good "mature" console games that came out before it except maybe the Mortal Kombat games. GTA3 was the reason people bought a PS2 in its early days (well that and its sequel, VC.) Weve all played it and know why it is a great game.

Genesis was an easy pick for me because there arent a ton of really solid titles on the system. StH2 was the best in the series IMO. There arent many Genesis games that I feel are anywhere close to Sonic except for Streets of Rage.

Advance Wars was addicting, easy to play, hard to master
