Top games (not series)

[Adagio]

Post your list of top games (not game-series, like the other thread)

The point system, goes like this:

1. = 20 points

3. = 12 points
4. = 10 points
5. = 8 points
6. = 6 points
7. = 4 points
8. = 3 points
9. = 2 points
10. = 1 point

Here's my top #10

1. The Settlers 2
2. RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
3. Lemmings 2
4. Syndicate Wars
5. SimCity 3
6. Civilization 3
7. Worms World Party
8. Desperados
9. Grand Theft Auto 3

My choices:

1. Championship Manager 97/98 - PC
2. Pro Evolution Soccer - PS2
3. Shining Force 2 - Megadrive/Genesis
4. Final Fantasy 7 - PSX
5. Diablo 2 - PC
6. Civilisation 3 - PC
7. Sensible World of Soccer - PC
8. SoulBlade - PSX
9. Half-Life - PC
10. Super Mario Kart - SNES

This isn't entirely consistent with what I posted in the other thread, but never mind.

Hmmm ... soccer games and RPG's seem to overwhelm my list. The top 5 all fit into those catergories.

These games are over a fair spread of systems, though, and cover many years of gaming.

I thought about putting a few Spectrum or Atari ST games on there, but decided not to. If pushed to expand the list to my top 20 games ( ) then the second set of ten would be dominated by those ancient games.

Note that these are my favourite games, not necessarily the best games I've played.

ChampMan 01/02 is much better than 97/98, but I had much more fun with 97/98, for instance. A similar comparison can be made between Final Fantasy 7 and 10 and Pro Evolution Soccer 1 and 2.

[Adagio]

Charr is someting like Scorced Earth...well...it's 100x better than the PC version of Scorched Earth, and 10x better than the amiga version og Schorced Earth

[FlameFlash]

1. Final Fantasy 6 -PSX, SNES
2. Mario Kart 64 -N64
3. Escape Velocity -Mac
4. SMAX -PC
5. Earthbound -SNES
6. Mega Man X4 -PSX
7. Call To Power -PC
8. Gauntlet: Dark Legacy -PS2
9. Star Fox 64 -N64
10. Pac-Mania -Arcade, NES, GBA

What platform is that on? I'd like to get my hands on that.

[Adagio]

All my games (except Charr) is to the PC...

[FrustratedPoet]

ADG: why is Civ3 at the top of the list if it only has 12 points? is it because it has received more than 1 vote?

This shows creationism debate threads are not always a total waste of time.

Take a look at Space HoRSE, it is supposedly a M.U.L.E. lookalike.

Originally I had the game for the Atari 800, which was more fun than on the C-64, because you could have all four human players using joysticks.

Thanks! Yeah, that's the reason I got it on the NES when I could since they have that four-player adapter thing...

Even a top 10 won't cut it! It's difficult to choose a tope ten especially after 20 years of gaming. Where do you start? Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Invaderswere great games and deserve to be on top but a lot of you are way too young to remember how it was to sneak in arcades and be fascinated by the coin maschines. I remember myself playing by the hours at some point in the mid 80's.

Here is my list:

1. Civ 1
2. Civ 2
3. Civ3
4. Railroad Tyconn 2
5. Baldur's Gate
6. Baldur's Gate 2
7. Donkey Kong (original arcade game)
8. Doom
9. Comman & Conquer
10. Goldeneye (N64)

and here some more favorites

11. Colonization
12. Age of Empires
13. Gabriel Knight
14. Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis
15. Duke Nuke 'em
16. King's Quest
17. Defender of the Crown (Amiga)
18. Populus
19. Lemmings 2
20. Arkanoid

and the list goes on and on... ... we should have done a top 100 of all times if somebody is really willing to do the stats on that and a series should count as one game.

You can count the first ten of the list of course!

So long...
