As an offshoot of the argument about whether PCs suck or not, Interference posted a list of his favourite games, just about all of which were PC games. So I am going to do the same, but in a new thread because I think this is a subject worthy of its own. So here is is my top ten sixteen games of all time, not really in any order:

1. The Phantasy Stars [1,2,3,4 but not PSO] (Master System/Mega Drive) [1988-1994]
2. Frontier: First Encounters (PC) [1995]
3. Dungeon Keeper 2 (PC) [1999]
4. Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2 (Mega Drive) [1991-1992]
5. Simon the Sorcerer (CD32) [1994]
6. Metropolis Street Racer (Dreamcast) [2000?]
7. Final Fantasy 7 (Playstation) [1996? 1997?]
8. Sensible World of Soccer 96/97 (Amiga) [1996]
9. Darkmere (Amiga) [1992]
10. Goldeneye (N64) [1996?]
11. The Settlers (Amiga) [1993]
12. The Faery Tale (Mega Drive) [God knows when. And God knows why]
13. Monkey Island 1 & 2 (Amiga) [?-1991]
14. Turrican 2 (Amiga) [1990?]
15. Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast) [1998/9]
16. Street Fighter 2: Special Champion Edition (Mega Drive) [1993]

I'm a bit unsure about some of the dates. But looking at this list I realise that none of those were made recently... The most recent one is Metropolis Street Racer which has since had two sequels on Xbox, neither of which are as good. I'm sure that Fable will make the list though. So not many PC games on there, though some were also available on PC (Simon the Sorcerer, Final Fantasy 7, Sensible World of Soccer, The Settlers, The Faery Tale, Monkey Island 1 & 2, Sonic Adventure, Street Fighter 2) but usually in crappier forms than the one listed, particularly with the older games (which these mostly are).

Post your Top Ten Games, because I'm interested. And I have nothing else to do today.

EDIT: Khross, I am not anal retentive, I just remember. Correctly or incorrectly. :p

Note: These are NOT in order of most enjoyed to least.

1) Final Fantasy Tactics [PSX] (1997/1998,2001)
2) Megaman 2 [NES] (1988/1989)
3) Sonic the Hedgehog 2 [Sega Genesis] (??)
4) Disgaea: Hour of Darkness [PS2] (2003)
5) Super Mario RPG [SNES] (1995)
6) Final Fantasy III [SNES] (1993)
7) Final Fantasy II [SNES] (1992)
8) Final Fantasy VII [PSX] (1997)
9) Chrono Trigger [SNES] (1995 ??)
10) Secret of Evermore [SNES] (1995 was Square's big year)
11) Gradius III [SNES] (1993 ??)
12) Megaman X [SNES] (1993 ??)
13) Monkey Island II: Lechuck's Revenge! [Amiga] (??)

hmm!

Tetris Attack
Pac-Man
Marble Madness
Doom I & II
Mega Man 3
Super Mario Bros 3
Pitfall

Outcast is heavily underrated. Its a crime how few people bought it. Someone go grab it NOW. Its cheap, since its been on budget for an eternity now. The score was performed by the Moscow Philiharmonic Orchestra, directed by one Lenny Moore. Excellent ending too. Orange jumpers have never had it so good.

And yes, we cannot underestimate the Zelda series. Many believe Ocarina of Time to be the greatest game ever. I'm waiting for the next Zelda with breath that is not only baited but thrown in a pond.

Nobody seems to remember these:

1. Valkyrie Profile
2. Planescape: Torment

Both also have the distinction of being about the most depressing games ever made.

Also, where on this list is:

Master of Magic (PC)
Master of Orion 1 & 2 (PC)
Moonbase Commander (PC)
Solar Jetman (NES)

What, nowhere but here? You all make me ill.

3. Microsoft Visual C++ [PC]


Best. Game. Ever.

9. Life [LIFE]


Feh, what are you smoking? Life sucks! The resolution's too low, I have a crappy framerate on it, and there's only one account allowed! wtf.

Another two additions to my list, which I unforgivably forgot:

17. Shenmue I & 2 (Dreamcast) [1999,2002??]
18. Soleil (Mega Drive) [1994]

Soleil is a very strange Zelda-like game in which you take the role of a little boy who collects various animals in order to use their magical powers to complete a quest. He can also talk to the animals. And flowers. The object of the quest is never quite made clear... Anyway, it's a superlative game, which I believe was released as "Crusader of something-or-other" in the US. Nice music too. Anyone else ever played it?

But lavishing love and praise upon the wondrous is not nearly as enjoyable as lavishing hate upon the deserving. Especially for someone so inherently miserable as myself. So:


THE ANTI-LIST. OF DISAPPOINTMENT AND/OR REVULSION.

1. Halo (XBOX/PC) [2002]. Slightly disappointing after all the hype. That's it.
2. Rise of the Robots (AMIGA/PC) [1994]. The biggest insult a game developer has ever made against the game buying public. It was possible to complete this game by holding up-right and button A. And I only wish I was joking about that. Probably the best thing about it was that Queen guitarist Brian May composed the rather forgettable intro music.
3. FIFA 2004 (XBOX). Weather effects were removed so that they could be put back in as a "feature" in the next installment. There's no international tournaments for the same reason. There's no player editing for the same reason. It's boring. Electronic Arts continue the insults.
4. Flight Sims. Apart from looking nice they serve no purpose. [target enemy Mig twelve miles away... fire missile... scratch one Mig. Not that you ever even saw it. WWI flight sims are cool though.]
5. The Sims (PC). Electronic Arts insult us further. One was more than enough.
6. Perfect Dark (N64). For making you be some annoying woman with a stupid haircut instead of James Bond.
7. Phantasy Star II (Genesis) [1989]. For having no storyline to speak of. Or to hear of. And for featuring a battle system for which no suitably vitriolic adjective yet exists.
8. Sonic 3 (Genesis) [1993]. A truly poor effort in comparison to its two classic prequels. I dance on the graves of those responsible.
9. Virtua Racing (Mega Drive) [1993]. It had a special chip thingy in the cartridge to allow decent(ish) 3D, like the SNES's SuperFX chip. This made the game cost £70, which was more than the console cost at the time. I believe that averaged out to about 3p per polygon. Good game though.
10. Phantasy Star Universe. The next in Sega's increasingly awful Phantasy Star series promises to be just as terrible as PSO. It's not Phantasy Star, please don't buy it. Then they won't make any more, or at least only the Japanese will have to endure them.

My annoyance is now sated.

EDIT: ThinInce/Overkill, I once heard that "Donkey" was a typographical error made in a fax between Nintendo's offices in Japan and the US, the Japanese meaning to write "Monkey". But this is probably one of those things that sounds plausible but has no basis in fact. Actually, I'm pretty sure that I also read afterwards that the fax thing was untrue. So... I don't know.

The M key is nowhere near the D key... they fail life.

I agree with you Grue. FF6 was overrated. 5 was better.

Andy: Planescape! How could I forget! That game was truly incredible.

MOAR GAMEZ:
Beyond Oasis [Genesis] (hopefully vecna can back me up on this series)
Legend of Oasis [Saturn]
Fighters Megamix [Saturn]

EDIT:
And The Magic Candle! I forgot! WOW that game was awesome, and it was made in 1989 by Mindcraft. Has anyone ever played it? It roxors me.
