Put a list in the op. Remember this rule.
Each member can only name 1 game at a time, if you put more than one game in a post then none of those games get listed.
Because it's important. People can post again but only one game at a time, this is so everyone gets to name a game they think should go on there.
People who posted 2 games in one post, go back and edit your posts.

Micro Machines Turbo Tournament 96 (MD)
I'd previously played the MS version of the original to death, and thought I was over the concept until I picked this up. Just pure fun.

My all-time favourite scrolling beat-em-up http://youtu.be/BDq1EczJ5M0
This was left out of the list for some reason. Should be at number 9 between Castle of Illusion and Another World.Liamh1982 wrote:And this list has no worth without Super Mario World in it - thankfully I have now rectified this!

I feared the list would be too nintendo heavy, so I nipped it in the budthemightymartin wrote:My all-time favourite scrolling beat-em-up http://youtu.be/BDq1EczJ5M0

Psycho Pinball is where it's "at".

The gameplay here is good most of the time, but the game really deserves to be on the list because I don't think anybody thought the humble Megadrive could pull off graphics like that!

Following this post, I have edited my first post and removed TI Invaders in favour of the excellent Parsec.GigaPepsiMan wrote:Put a list in the op. Remember this rule.

How long til the first one in here puts crap like Beethoven or Pit-Fighter on there? There should be some kind of system to remove named titles again

We should mention the great 'Rainbow Islands'. The ST and Amiga versions were superbly done.

I would also add 'Cannon Fodder' from Sensible Software. Remember that 'war has never been so much fun!'.

Given that some people on here actually quite like Pit Fighter perhaps some sort of trading system needs introducing. For instance, for every game someone likes that you don't approve of we should remove 'crap' games that you do approve of.hydr0x wrote:How long til the first one in here puts crap like Beethoven or Pit-Fighter on there?

Great call. More so the superior Atari ST version.Katzkatz wrote:We should mention the great 'Rainbow Islands'. The ST and Amiga versions were superbly done.
