Well folks a while ago I posted a couple threads about top 10 bands or songs or albums or something like that. Now I may have posted this top 10 list also but I can't quite remember. Drum roll please. Top 10 video/arcade games of all time: 1. Unreal tournament (Has to be #1. I'm still playing it after all this time.) 2. Dragon's Lair (just as fun to watch someone else play) 3. Ms.Pacman (I'll have to ask Dr.Cathy why I like Ms.Pacman more the regular pacman) 4. Rampart (lotsa projectiles....cool) 5. Panzer General (Get to fight the orignal Axis) 6. Asteroids (simplest graphics ever. Loads of fun.) 7. Super Zaxxon (One of the 1st arcades I can remember that had dimensionality to it) 8.Donkey Kong (As the boss knows we Mac users lovet his one) 9.Oddworld:Abe's Oddysey (great sound and graphics as well as humorous) 10. Space Invaders (Have to have this 1. 1st home gaming experience. Atari 2600 rules) Naughtius Maximus "Brothers! What we do in life...echoes through eternity!"

Cool.......I am gonna have to think about this one really hard cause there are way too many killer games that have come and gone over the years just to point out 10 of them. Here are a couple I thought of for now.....will update this when others come to me. 1: Unreal Tournamanet (this would have to be a given) 2: All of the Grand Turismo Racing games (has to be the best racing series I have ever seen) 3: Most of the games for the Atari 2600 (cut alot of teeth on this little machine - went thru 3 of them) 4: Donkey Kong (heheh wonderful MAC game but great for killing time on a 4 hour ferry ride from Seattle to Victoria on vacation) 5: Any and all of the Laser Disk games (All the Dragons Lairs, Space Ace and little known one called Cliffhanger) 6: Gaunlet series (spent untold amounts of cash playing all of these - the first one was the best) 7: Tekken series (saw the first one in the acarde and have been an addict ever since) 8: Street Fighter series (another good fighter that was always high energy) 9: Radien series (one if not the best shooter/over head space ship game) 10: This list need to be the top 50 because there are just too many to list. There are a couple of my personal favorites and I am sure I will think of another 10 before the day is out. Cool idea MAX. |<idcapri

Hey you bent the rules a little there Pimp. It is hard to keep it to 10 though. Hey mah Galaga would have been on my list as well along with Missile command but I just couldn't leave Space invaders off. Do you remember how you could take a picture of your high score and send it in for some kinda prize or something. Naughtius Maximus "Brothers! What we do in life...echoes through eternity!"

Ahh, I used to be the Mario Master at my college, so I have to add Super Mario Bros. to this list. We also had tourneys for Techmo Bowl, which was a blast. And I used to love fighting games, like Street Fighter II and Tekken. Wow, my list could take up a whole page, but, of course, like most here, UT remains the best game for me. <SRA> The Jargonaut

Sorry no RPGs, jus not my thing. Gallaga( kill kill and kill some more)Played it till the screen would split in half on the 256th stage(part demo/part credits).On one quarter,Now THATS economical. Still love how the Roman Numeral-esque symbols use to run across the bottom of the screen, very colorful(8 colors) Gran Turismo Series(has no equal.Everything else is just a lame wannabe.Use to think Ridge Racer was cool till this puppy rewrote the book.IF Sony made a online PC version of this game my Sweetheart would end up leaving me, FOR SURE! Havent played any other game as much as this but the UT series is catching up.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"> UT(Duh,Introduced me to online gaming 11 months ago)and now my PS2 gathers dust(pretty much a DVD player here lately.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> ) Robotron(Adreniline! in its purist form! to this day, I havent played a game that took so much pure reflex to excell at) could play it till I felt like finishing(usually about 8 million pts) on 1 quarter.Ahh the good ole days Defender(introduced 16 colors AWESOME(had a learning curve for me, cause it had more than three controlls to it.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> )Also enabled you to put your whole name up when u got the high score...I am SOMEBODY!<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> Xevious( Come on If you could get through THIS shooter, U R Da MAN!)Excellent look for its day. Wolfenstien 3d (on the Mac no less)(Sprite based,pseudo-3d father of the fps genre)Use to run it on a Macintosh Quadra 840 AV(40 mhz 040 LOOK OUT! NM<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"> ) Street Fighter Series( Kid can tell u, We had some serious SF series comp where we grew up.)This game really introduced me to one on one real people competion instead of predictable or cheesy "bots".Offense AND defense what a concept? I bought the Super NES because the SF version was the first time (to Me) that the console game rivalled its arcade counterpart. Gauntlet( one of the few non shooters in my list(another all day game. I use to step out and smoke cigarettes while my wizzard sucked up ghosts,come back with a ice cold Mountain Dew and build my health points right back up. Is it me or were we thirtysomethings hooked on the Dew or what?Remember when you could see the citrus pulp floating in the bottle.Probably, only liked it because it looked like those cool drinks in the bar scene from Star Wars.I digress<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> Virtua series(Polygon-fighting and racing)Sega, nuf said. Honorable Mention: Space Invaders,Asteroids,Smash TV(ill buy that for a dollar.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> )Tekken Series,Agile Warrior,RaidenI&II,Crazy Climber,Misslecommand,Bosconian,1942,Gyrus,Centi&Millipede,Crystal Quest,DigDug,Choplifter,Scramble,Super Cobra,Timepilot,Rygar,Frogger,Bezerk(remember hearing"coin detected in pocket"?),classic. |).|.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"> Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub44.ezboard.com/bschwantzsredeemerarenaserver.showUserPublicProfile?gid=deathinc@schwantzsredeemerarenaserver>Death Inc</A> at: 4/21/03 1:08:02 pm

I have all of the old games like Galaga, Asteroids, Defender, Donkey Kong 1, 2, 3, Jr., Joust, Blah Blah Blah. Really! Try me! I'll let you know if I have it or not. I have about 600 of them right now. I can send you a few of them if you want with an instruction set of how to install them. Might take a couple of days to get it all together. I got the name Hermskii from a site that had the downloads of all of these games. Yes, even Robotron, Tron, Missile Command, Gauntlet, etc. etc. I have all of the roms zipped. I may have to put the emulater on the web server and you can download it from there. Let me know. Send me an email at: Hermskii@Houston.RR.Com Later! Hermskii

Ok...just quickly and off the top of my head...here we go.... 1. Unreal Tournament (of course) 2. Tomb Raider Series (Me & Lara are close...too close) 3. Star Fleet Command Series (I go way back on this one) 4. Diablo 5. Half-Life (creepy as Hell with the lights out and in dolby) 6. Thief (just something about sneaking up on someone...) 7. Postal (nothing like a molotov into a marching band) 8. Jedi Knight 9. Dungeon Keeper 2 (brings me back to the old D&D days) 10. Wizardry (going old school...before graphics) "Ph-nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn." (In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming)
