No way, the original's still great fun. On days where I've accomplished absolutely nothing of worth, busting it out and beating World 8-3 still feels like a real achievement.

Jagger had Grim Fandango #3. IT'S AN ERROR PEOPLE.
He also had San Francisco Rush 2049 at #5.

For someone who knows not-too-much about soccer, no problem. For someone who doesn't enjoy spending hours juggling numbers, a big problem.

There is nothing aspie about saving and replaying exactly the same game 20 times with each game played with the goalkeeper's longpassing slider set at different notches.

*plz*
Chrono Trigger is another one of those games where you get too powerful too fast, and there's just an infinitude of awesome combos and powers you can acquire, but never actually would in the course of playing the thing.
This is literally the only thing I can think of that's wrong with this game.

Too low. Ah well, at least it made the top 10.

If Toejam & Earl would have been ported to other systems, it would have broken into the top 75, I bet. As it is, anyone who never got a Genesis missed out. I actually never sat down and beat it until a few months ago, when I downloaded it onto my Wii.

Along with maybe Dagger of Amon Ra, Monkey Island was the pinnacle of the mouse-based graphic adventure. No dead ends, no dying, puzzles that were genuinely fun to figure out, an amazing soundtrack, and the lushest pixel-painted world ever realized. I love Melee Island in all its blue-black glory, punctuated by glowing yellow windows...
