What a pleasant surprise! Archon is definitely one of my favorite NES/Amiga games.

...I spent hundreds of hours playing this game on my old Apple. Forgot all about it... I remember it being pretty tough. Of course, I was like 9...

IGN's doing a great job with these lists so far.

#040 - Deus Ex
#039 - Halo: Combat Evolved
#038 - Soul Calibur
#037 - Madden '96
#036 - Super Smash Bros. Melee
#035 - Thief II: The Metal Age
#034 - Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty
#033 - Wave Race 64
#032 - Half-Life
#031 - Gauntlet


Halo, Half-Life, Thief II, and Deus Ex. A lot of FPS games in this list. I thought Half-Life would be ranked much higher, but oh well.

I think as far as FPS goes, Quake 2 should be the highest on the list.

Ehh.

Oh well, just their opinion.

I never thought I'd say this, being convinced that the PC will always have the best FPSs, but I actually enjoyed Halo more than any FPS on the PC so far.

Dune II :up:

Dune II (by Westwood Studio) gave birth to the real-time strategy (RTS) genre.

Oh man, I forgot about so many of the games they listed. I think this is one of the better lists I have seen in a long time. Kudos who mentioned quake 2. I played that game on and off for close to 4 years, that was an awesome game, and the only game I actually got really involved playing online. Pixyboi, I am up for a game if you are.

Actually 'Herzog Zwei' on the Sega Genesis was the first RTS game ever made. The RTS genre was born on a console system.

i loved the final comment under Gauntlet: "Elf needs pants badly." :lol:

They posted 30-21. Some good games. Glad to see Tecmo Bowl on the list. Haven't played that game in years, but it was a really fun game.

#029 - Star Wars

Is this the polygon Tie Fighter game?

No, it's a vector graphics arcade game from 1983. It sounded sorta familiar, but I can't remember if I played it or not.

I'm sorry that is what I meant, bad description on my part.

Ooooh.. both Mario Worlds.. that's some good gaming there.
Notice we're in the top 30 and lots of Big N titles starting to creep in.. ;)

Prince of Persia

*thumbs up*

Good to see some classic NES (Mike Tyson and Tecmo) sneak in there as well as some PS greats (GT3 and MGS)

:thumbsup: to mike tyson's punch out!!! love that game, I even still remember the password to mike tyson 007 373 5963


:blush:

Man, I played Star Wars all the time back in the day. I remember going to the Togo's down the street like every day during the summer and playing that game.

:up: to Pirates! ane Prince of Persia.

I love that game

I'm rooting for Outpost to be the #1 game of all time...


















Just kidding!
