So I was talking to a friend the other day, just kinda reminiscing about the 16-bit console era (probably MY favourite), and got to talking about what our top 3 games were on sega 16-bit (we were sega boys at the time). We talked about 3 each, and then both of us said "but then there's..." anyway, we couldn't stop at 3 each.
In this thread, I wanna ask you guys what your top , say 5-10 games were of a few different formats/systems...titles do not have to be in order of preference, 'cos this is pretty hard to do also.

Wow long list i'll just go as far as saying the original Excite Bike was my favorite old game. But i never had any Sega systems

[cheebacheeba]

Yup, the list sure took some time to think of...
I didn't mind excitebike, there was a newer version on n64 a while back, but it wasn't all that good. There's actually a disney version on gameboy advance that's pretty cool.
Nintendo was pretty cool, but I have to say I pity those who've never had a sega...

For sure i always used to play my friends because i never had one. Sadly i liked Booger Man :rolleyes: lol

[cheebacheeba]

Booger-Man wasn't THAT bad, but for that style of game, I preferred Earthworm Jim, one that probably SHOULD have made my list...but you can just never think of all the games you love 'til some oldskool player like yourself reminds you of them...

Man, Vod... you and I have such similar tastes huh?
You mentioned ghouls and ghosts, YET ANOTHER one that should've made my list, I used to get so pissed off but somehow it trapped me into playing it again and again...great challenging game.
If you liked gargoyles quest, did you ever play a similar one on snes called demons crest? I think it was meant to have been the same character?
As for arcade, I loved Aliens and midnight resistance! I also thought aliens vs predator was awesome...it was the first thing along in a while that felt like an oldskool beat 'em up.
I'm pretty much down with your pc selection too...

Keep talking people, this could be a good discussion

I remember playing an old old video game called Bignose where you played a caveman. Awesome game though lol. Also i enjoyed the first Prince of Persia

[Vodstok]

Prince of persia rules :)
I remember playing it in B&W back on an old mcintosh


Cheeba,
Ghouls and Ghosts used to send me into a fucking RAGE. Iloved it, but there were parts where you had to hit shit EXACTLY right or you got hurt/killed. Used to drive me insane, so i played it with cheats as often as possible.

Only way to play it in my opinion

[cheebacheeba]

I liked it too, in a way, I guess it kinda paved the way for one of my alltime favourite games - Flashback: The quest for Identity.
