*Poll* What are your favorite classic games and systems? 19XX-1999(Pre-Dreamcast)

[Kevincal]

I'm sure there has been a "Top XX" list done on DP, but I thought it would be interesting to see what your personal favorite classic games and systems are. Here's the criteria.

List your top 20 favorite classic games (pre-Dreamcast) and your top 5 favorite classic systems (pre-Dreamcast). Order is important. List your absolute favorite as #1 and work your way down in that fashion.

For your favorite games, you must list games from atleast 3 different systems and 2 different companies (i.e. Sega, Sony). For your favorite systems, you must list atleast 2 different companies systems. This is to try to eliminate atleast some fanboyism. Pre-Dreamcast arcade, handheld & pc games and systems will be accepted.

As far as popular games that have appeared on multiple systems. I think it would be best to list the exact version to be as accurate as possible. A game like Doom was on many systems and was fairly similar on all of them. However, some versions have more levels and monsters, or run smoother etc. So, be sure to identify the exact versions on your lists.

I will count US, Euro and Asian games as the same game if they are on the same system and totally unchanged from region to region. If there is a game that is significantly different in a certain region, just let me know. I will also accept games released on systems lesser than the Dreamcast, but were released 1999-present; Such as Neo Geo games, since some Neo games have come out in the 2000's yet they were made on the same old Neo Geo hardware from the early 90's.

Remember, this is your personal favorite games, not which game is best. For instance, I know the Arcade version of Ridge Racer is better than the PS version. Yet, I've never played the Arcade version, but I love the PS version...

The point system:

For games (1-20)
1 = 40 points
2 = 38 points etc...

For systems (1-5)
1 = 40 points
2 = 32 points etc...

That was hard trying to sort these great games and systems (imo)... Tough decisions!
*Hmm, I think I forgot to put Final Fantasy VII somewhere in there... :P Oh well, I'm sure plenty of others will have it in their lists...*

You accidentally put two #14's for games, so I'll just leave off "TMNT: The Arcade Game (ARC)" if it's cool. Thanks for contributing!

[Nebagram]

Nice idea :-) Deserves to be huge, this thread, so I'll get in at #5. ;-) Assuming I can make my decision in under an hour, of course.

Nice idea :-) Deserves to be huge, this thread, so I'll get in at #5. ;-) Assuming I can make my decision in under an hour, of course.

Thanks! I thought it was a good idea too. I actually took quite awhile to think about exactly how I wanted to do it. It took me forever to decide my lists too It's going to be a lot of work for me, but I still think it's worth it and it'll be cool to see how the lists shape up over time.

I going to go ahead and count your Megadrive games as Genesis games. There's no difference at all in Sonic 3 & Knuckles between the Genesis and Mega Drive version, or any MD/Genesis game of the same name, is there?

Unfortunately, as cool as the Dreamcast is, I think it's still a rather modern console. I'll have to leave the Dreamcast stuff off the lists.

[Cryomancer]

Dreamcast is considered part of the Classic Gaming forum, and I am sure you will get more entries for it. If/when I do a list, it will certainly be on there.

[Kevincal]

Yes, but the problem is that the list is already well underway with everyone understanding that no DC games will be allowed... I really would not like to re-do the whole list! It's quite time consuming!!! So please leave any DC games off of your list. I know the DC could go either way as far as being classic or modern. There are varying opinions. I just decided that it was modern since it's graphics are on par with PS2, Gamecube & XBOX. It's also not quite 10 years old yet... From Wikipedia, "The Sega Dreamcast was first available in JP on November 27, 1998". Thanks!

[AB Positive]

I will add to this, only because I welcome anyone who has the energy and gumption to try a massive undertaking like this. I recommend adding a 'no editing posts' feature to keep from any weird shenanigans, that's what we did last time. I'll make a new post with my lists.

[Kevincal]

Yep, I was really bored yesterday and decided to give this a shot. I don't know how editing posts would mess anything up though? I mean, I don't think anyone is going to do that anyway. Except me of course about a thousand times!

[Kevincal]

Toshinden was awesome in late 1995! The graphics were just plain amazing at the time. The controls...well, you could get used to them!

As for the Dreamcast, well, maybe I'll do a similar poll in the "Modern" forums after this one is done. I think the DC will fare very well with the "Big Dogs".

[Kevincal]

Sonic 2 is kicking butt! That game totally rules...
