That's a good rollout, thanks!
7 of my ballot has shown up so far, I am not at this point worried that any of rest won't place. By this time tomorrow - that will change!

don't thank me yet -- you might get REAL MAD AT THE LATER RESULTS (although i suppose that's only 4% my fault and 96% your collective faults)!

Actually I take that back - it may be a hostage to fortune but I'll be amazed if Tekken outdoes its prodigy.

great stuff so far Will, thanks!

yes, great rollout so far!the inclusion of ads is a great choice. god, so much "attitude" copy.

relatedly, crash's "my trip to seattle" is a real masterpiece of poochie. for nintendo, a harsh realm indeed.

I will stan for all the Tekkens but of course each one was more polished - and more hilarious - than the last (up to #4 anyway). I played enough f-zero x but as a playstation and wipeout fanboy I refused to vote for it.

i keep wanting to put emus for this era on my SNES Classic but then I realize the controller doesn't have the buttons for it, and the system probably doesn't have the storage for even a basic PSX game.

i like how the front of the MacRae Rally case highly resembles the function-first, ugly as hell, cluttered with advertisements from the trucks themselves

look is chrono cross flawed? sure
but STILL TOO LOW
I played the hell out of Lammy and even drew her on the whiteboard on my door, the first week of moving into the dorms (big dork alert). I hadn't seriously played PaRappa at that time but when I later did, I found the staccato syllables a lot harder to enjoy "jamming" or improvising with, which the game secretly wants to do. Whereas noodling around with weird guitar sounds and riffs just kinda works as a game mechanic or a toy to play with.I also think the songs are really good (except the island/Hell one) - the firefighter one gets stuck in my head a lot!
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:12 (three years ago) link
starting to fear what's going to appear in the top 20 if these are so low
― Nhex, Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:13 (three years ago) link
Chrono Cross! made my list at #20. I've never played it again, since. Has anyone else? i'm curious how it holds up. at the time, having never played chrono trigger when chrono cross came out, I was very impressed by all the different characters you could play as, the interweaving stories and time-travel elements - basically all the things people love about Chrono Trigger
― @oneposter(✔️) (Karl Malone), Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:15 (three years ago) link
I'm wondering just how normcore I was (or am!) if I've only played like 2-3 of these games so far and voted only for one!
xp Karl did you play Chrono Cross for an hour?

Never played this, but then I never even played Chrono Trigger until this year
― american primitive stylophone (zchyrs), Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:17 (three years ago) link
lol, yes that was a very bad description of chrono cross. someone else do it! i have a job ok!!!
― @oneposter(✔️) (Karl Malone), Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:18 (three years ago) link
never forget: I just played Chrono Trigger for over an hour.

they're saturn exclusives. at least guardian heroes is available on the 360 and BC with the bone/series
speaking of, my #1, not even breaking the top 20 as expected
― chihuahuau, Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:25 (three years ago) link
i defy anyone to find a good full sized box art for that game lol i spent 20 minutes looking for that one alone!!!

this is the one that is inexplicably an rpg in a series of rail shooters right? i think the insert credit pod was talknig abt this one recently
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:26 (three years ago) link
yes, a very short and easy jrpg but the best thing ever for 98 me
like daytona usa, source code lost forever
― chihuahuau, Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:28 (three years ago) link
ugh sad :( how long is it? maybe i should try to emu, i never got to even touch a saturn in my life (idk if they even emu well?)
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:30 (three years ago) link
I played a few Saturn games in my research and they just seemed so much shabbier than the N64/PS games.

― @oneposter(✔️) (Karl Malone), Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:41 (three years ago) link
xp well, looks like my ballot will all place below 30, dunnit?
the first tactics game i ever played, dunno how it compares to contemporaneous fire emblem games, probably not as good? don't care, i loved it and even imported and played scenarios 2 and 3 in the mid 00s using a fan translation
PDS is about 20 hours i think? it dind't seem short at the time because it's was the first jrpg i ever played, and it's not like being 80+ hours is an advantage. its only real fault is being too easy

that was a really weird time in the mid-to-late 90s, when 3D graphics allowed for more "sexy" characters, and then all the games started trying to get sexy, and the ads started to get sexy...but they all looked like...that
― @oneposter(✔️) (Karl Malone), Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:48 (three years ago) link
"that" as in the various games throughout this thread, not about the zombie on the back cover above.
