Tron Deadly Discs was mostly a byproduct of related votes, or so I had imagined. In retrospect, I'm not sure all those votes should have been combined, but one person gave a multi-vote nom to Deadly Discs, and then there was 1 for "Tron" and 1 for "Discs of Tron." Having been the Discs of Tron person, I can tell you that it's really nothing like Deadly Discs appears to be.

So positioning for a few games might not be what you expected, but the members of the list itself, in general, aren't bad at all.

And the legions and legions of off-shoot games that are truly just more SF2. I stopped paying attention long before they added Cammy and whoever the other three losers were that came with her. SSF2T is all the Street Fighter I need.


So the only street fighter you need is one that you stopped paying attention to long before Super?

Unless, I'm confusing the various titles, the "new challengers" came later...they certainly came later than whatever version I played, and I really don't care to look up which SF2 version out of the 87 they released was the one I actually played.

one of the best lists ive seen in a while for its respective topic. Props.

Would've liked to seen on the list:
MGS2
Civ 2 (probably the best one imo, 4 and 1 are really worthy of the list too though)
Heroes of Might and Magic 3
Sinistar
MVP Baseball Series

but overall, great list.

I put MVP Baseball 2005 on my ballot, but it unfortunately wasn't worth the 4 points that it needed to show up

Cool list... aside from the crime of having SMB3 ranked below SM64 and Sonic 1.

(Doom)
Maybe you couldn't actually AIM up or down, but at least you actually truly had a third dimension for perhaps the first time ever in a game.

Nah, not even close. Wing Commander used basically the same technology as Doom (scaled bitmap graphics in a 3d environment) in 1990. The Star Wars arcade game had real 3D vector graphics in 1983... it was a rail shooter but I think it still qualifies as a real 3d game. That's the first game I know of with free movement in 3d (ie. not tile-based movement where you move a whole square at a time).

I wouldn't have put SF2 in the top five, but I'm not surprised either. It caused arcade-frenzies and it's still arguably THE shining example of the fighting genre.

Well, ok, I meant outside of space sims. Obviously space sims and similar games were around first. I didn't remember Star Wars being actual free movement, though.

I actually had Sinistar on my list, but I'm not sure anyone else had it. I've yet to encounter a video game villain that can elicit as much fear and panic.

Yeah I probably said the wrong thing. I don't think you can control where you go, I just meant that it wasn't tile based movement (like if you've played Phantasy Star 1 or the old Wizardry or Bard's Tale games, that's the kind of "3d" they had before Star Wars.

Haven't played that one, but I had Civ 2 and MGS2 for 1 point each.

Even for FPS' though, even within id Wolfenstein 3D came out before Doom, and Hovertank 3D before Wolfenstein.

Wolfenstein wasn't true 3d. It was 2d from a first-person perspective. There was decidedly no up and down in the gameplay. I'm not talking about the graphics being quasi-3D -- I mean a game that legitimately lets you move in all 3 dimensions and interact in all 3 dimensions. Outside of space sims, name a game before Doom that had both height and depth in its actual gameplay. Maybe some space sim like games, like Tanks, but that's about it.

And I've never heard of Hovertank, but Catacomb Abyss predated Wolfenstein.

T-92. Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millenium (4 +1)
Genre: RPG
Original Year: 1993
Original Platform: Genesis
Company: Sega

Easily the finest pre-SNES RPG for gameplay. The out-of-combat animations were smooth, the graphics were attractive, and the battle dynamics were awesome. FOI-WAT-ZAN!

umm...

Genesis pre-dated SNES. Yes, I'm aware the game itself doesn't pre-date the release of the system, but considering we're talking about RPGs here and there are many people on the board who consider the SNES to be the golden age of RPGs, it seems appropriate to me to regard PS4 as being the pinnacle of that pre-Chrono Trigger/Secret of Mana/Final Fantasy III era.
