What are your Top 5 Classic Console Games....?
Remember some of the older ones being so damn addictive! Wondered which ones were peoples all time favourites...
mine would be...
1) MarioKart - Sheer genius! Think i spent about 3 years solid playing this game!
2) StreetFighter 2 - Remember how excited i was when the SNES came out and i didnt have to put 30p in every time i wanted a game!
3) Mario 3 - The one where he had a cape...Think it was the 3rd....
, so playable and so addictive!
4) Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - Superfast, addictive, great gameplay!
5) Streets Of Rage 2 - Great game walking along beating the crap out of people with a big end of level boss! You could press the 'C' button and you'd get a missle strike or simular which magically missed you!
Ooooh, made it tough being only 5,All the Mario's really! Ahhh Sensible Soccer! Golden Axe 2 was up there...Along with F-Zero, Sega Rally, Wipeout, Breakout, PacMan, Damn there's so many!!!! And there was one called something like Crystal Castle i think, quite old!!?? Remember liking it!

Guardian Heroes (Saturn) <----- My favourite console game ever!!
Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn)
Shining Force CD (MegaCD)
Shining Force 3 (Saturn)
Shining the Holy Ark (Saturn)
They really did release some good games for the Saturn, but not nearly enough

I'm just remembering loads more!
Anyone remember Road Rash 2 on the megadrive? Where your on the motorbike and you can get a chain/bat and knock the other riders off! that was f00king awsome!
Used to love worms aswell, esp. if you get a few mates over, right laugh!
VirtuaCop 1 & 2 on the Saturn were pretty cool, real acrcade feel in the home!

Iain,
Hows your GP2X anyway? Just ordered mine and been having a look at having a go at some basic coding (not that i have that much time these days), I was looking at SDL and Fenix what are you planning to use?
Cheers
Gary

)I've downloaded all the dev stuff, (was planning on using sdl and Fenix also), but I've just not had time to look at it properly yet. Real work keeps getting in the way...

Not heard of manic Miner? Perhaps I'm beginning to show my age
It was probably one of the best games available on the Spectrum, (I also had it on the Dragon 32)...

Back on track (sorry wez) I remember circus circus and bombman on NES
Anyone old enough to remember the old ingersoll consoles (pre-atari) that were black and white and had pong and a few other games on?

Well it was out in 1982 and if my maths are right the year you were born wez which is why you have missed out! Do a search for manic miner PC for a 256 colour PC version of the game. 20 levels platformer, tricky as HELL!

Good call with Micromachines! great game!
Mortal Combat was always a laugh! remember getting all the fatality codes out of the sun! All that blood was great entertainment for a 13yr old!
Command and Conquer Red alert, more of a pc game, but stupidly good!
esp against human opponents...
