The first post included the PC so I figured personal computers and portables were okay to list.Quote:

I think almost all game systems have at least a few enjoyable games so this is a good topic for including obscure stuff. I don't remember really liking much on the Leisure Vision/Arcadia 2001 or Studio II, though. I'll have to play that stuff again to if there's a favourite.
PS3: Tekken 6
I've never really understood the appeal of Choplifter on SMS, frankly I personally find it to be one of the worst shoot-em-ups I've ever played.
Every now and then I re-try it to see if I can get into it, but years on I still think its pure trash, it just has absolutely no redeeming qualities outside of perhaps the graphics, which are respectable.
Its like someone took Defender, improved the graphics, and then made it control like shit.
why control like shit?
elaborate, please.
Moving and shooting aren't independent, if you're flying forwards you can't shoot what's in front of you, if you try to retreat from an enemy you fire into the sky, the character moves too quicky, and stopping and changing direction is sluggish and takes ages (by which point you're dead).Quote:

Thinking about it, its more like Dropzone I guess, but crap.
I was impressed by how this thread was getting straight replies without any discussion or criticism.
...well for the first three pages at least.
I guess I have too many axes to grind and a big mouth unfortunately :(Quote:

Only one Kirby game on there, huh? Weird...
You really need to get a DS and play Canvas Curse and Mass Attack.
Oops! Forgot to list Kirby's Return to Dream Land for the Wii. Although Dream Land 1 & 2 are both very strong contenders for my #1 Game Boy title. And Kirby's Super Star is a real close #2 on the SNES.
Off-topic, but I can't wait for the new Kirby collection. That looks awesome.
What did I do?Quote:

This thread, yeah, I did. All good responses. It's telling to see the games that are mentioned multiple times.Quote:

Those two came really close to the top for me too.Quote:

Are you sure you're not mistaking this for the NES version?
That one is awful indeed, everything negative you mentioned applies to that version.
I'm hurt MrM.Quote:

Actually these are what make you a good member, it's the quiet churchmice who only ever open their mouths for a quick "Hallelujah Sega" who are a waste of time.Quote:

Like j_factor, I also found Ninja Five-O for a cheap price. I don't love the game quite as much as every else seems to, though. It does a good job at mixing the styles of games like Bionic Commando and Shinobi but I get the feeling it wouldn't be as praised if it were say a Genesis game. On the GBA it has little competition so it stands out more. But who knows? Maybe it will click with me more next time I play it.
And yeah, I read everyone's lists. I don't understand how someone would interested in only making their own and not reading others'.
This is a great point. It really has carved out an underserved niche on the GBA.Quote:

Only listing systems I have or have played a good amount of, of course. I haven't played enough of most 2nd gen platforms (emulation or real systems) to say much for most of those...
