I tried to like Doshin the Giant but it failed to grab me. Maybe I needed to give it a bit more time.

Somewhere in Nintendo headquarters is a flash drive with a Powerpoint presentation on it entitled "Target Market for Great Success". It only has one slide, and that's just a picture of Mimi.

Amusing that nobody has yet to admit to voting for the #4 game on the list.



I did, and I placed it high! In your face, haterz!

That's better.. call of duty 4 is going the RIGHT way down the chart for my liking!

I think the list suddenly looks a damn sight more balanced IMO.

Crap! There's one I forgot. My favourite GC game, that.

I'm not sure why FFVII was so high up and VI/III not there at all. I'm no VII hater, but it's clearly inferior in pretty much every aspect bar graphics.

2. Final Fantasy VII - 45.5 *

That's easy. It was never released in Europe until the PS1 was on its last legs, and even then it was a really shitty port, with huge loading times.

Why don't you post more Tsu?

Would it be insulting to say to someone with 9000+ posts that I'm too busy living my incredibly exciting life to spend time posting on Internet message boards?

Also, I am unable to access Beex from work.

Also also, I'm very shy, and am scared of mean Internet people insulting me or my mother.

So yeah, those are my reasons.

I suppose so. I just always thought that people here were more 'hardcore' than me (which, I have no doubt, this one event does not change), and some would have played it on their SNES through an adaptor.

Apparently not.

Yeah, only thick people had consoles in those days

However for actual RPG's I preferred the early Ultima series on the Atari and C64 and on the SNES i preferred the action RPG types like Zelda and Secret of Mana.

I knew I should have submitted a list comprised entirely of Mario platformers.

And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who voted for Rhythm Tengoku, you Final Fantasy perverts.

Oh oh!

Chinny, mate I only bringing this up because I'm anal and you can totally ignore it, but if I gave Rhythm Tengoku my number 1 spot and Karl gave it at least 1 point how come it has only got 10 points?

have I fucked up and by listing my games 1 to 10 you taken that to mean the points I give each rather than that being my top ten (with 1 being best)?

Sorry!

Urban Chaos? That was repetitive shit! I played it all the way through stupidly believing it was suddenly going to get better, but it never did. Every baddy could be defeated by just doing a sliding kick followed by hitting 'O' to handcuff him. Then do the same to his mates. Forever.

My original forays into console territory were brought on by PC gaming being ultra-boring. The GameCube provided games that were unusual and unique, whereas all the PC could offer was to make me spend another 200-300 quid in order to see the detail in Advanced Stamp Collector 2002.

I'm not convinced that was really the case in the mid-late 90s though, which is when the PC games that are on my list were about.

No probs. I'll double check it for you later. Just back from another cycle ride (over 60 miles in total over the weekend) and now have to go out again.

Myp and I know there are mistakes in there. It was a painful list to compile. From memory there were 40 or so votes and some people did insist on doing things in an odd order, or even give a commentary on why they had voted for each game which made extracting the games prone to error at times. We have checked and checked again but the one thing where errors may slip through was on the initial counting.

I will take Grim... and Lave's suggestion to write this up as an UpToJump article. We need a paragraph about each of the games in the top 50, preferably written by someone who voted for it. We'll do them 10 at a time and I'll be calling for volunteers to write up the paragraph. I'll do the co-ordination; myp and chinny have done enough in this thread already!

What format should screenshots be in?

I would suggest a strict word limit for all write-ups perhaps with expanded articles for the top 10 + a few selected highlights elsewhere if required (games we as a forum feel are important even if they didn't get lots of votes).

And the Street Fighter 2 article *must* mention the fact there was a Speccy conversion. Yes the multiload made it impossible to play but it was the last release from a major software house on the Speccy, it isn't a bad conversion all things considered and only a madman would have attempted to convert the game and yet they managed it (with a hideous multiload natch).
