What games have I missed?

[Drack]

Yesterday I compiled a list of every console game I've played (that I remember) for any decent amount of time.

The list can be found here (http://www-static.cc.gatech.edu/~schapman/games.txt). Yeah, I've played a lot of games ;)

What I'm asking, is that if you see any glaring omissions from my list, great games I've missed out on, do tell! I'm open to all genres. Systems other than those I already own are a bit more tricky, but all suggestions are welcome.

I don't want this to turn into a favorites thread, so don't bash anyone's opinions or suggestions, or act like yours are better than everyone else's.

A shame you don't own a PS2 at least, many, many great games you have missed on both the PS2 and PSone. For Sega CD, definitely Snatcher. That's the game that made me want a Sega CD (I got the CDX to save space and it sounds cool).

SNES, I see a glaring omission of Earthbound, Tetris Attack, Kirby Superstar, Actraiser, Demon's Crest, Metal Warriors and many more I'm sure.

[Jimmy Jazz]

OK, so I'm missing out games for consoles you haven't got (Namely Dreamcast, Saturn, Megadrive, PS1 and PS2, which, with the exception of the PS2 you can pick up in fairly good condition for fairly cheap).

Final Fantasy 5 (SNES)
Afterburner 2 (Genesis)
Outrun (Genesis)
Space Harrier (Genesis)
Lunar (Sega CD)
Snatcher (Sega CD)
Lylat Wars/Star Fox 64 (N64)
Megaman Zero 3 (GBA)
Phoenix Wright 2 (The full name currently doesn't spring to mind) (NDS).

And at least get yourself a dreamcast.

EDIT - Oh, and the SNES stuff Citan mentioned. I feel like an idiot for not mentioning Earthbound.

[Drack]

Is Final Fantasy V available in English?
Also, SF64 is on the list :)
Thanks for the comments, I'll definitely look into em.

[Ab56 v2 aka Ash]

You should at least give Metroid: Zero Mission a play through. It's a good remake.

[RealFolkBlues]

A couple of additions to the N64 list; Perfect Dark and Jet Force Gemini. Back when Rare was good, they were great. Love these two games.

[Jimmy Jazz]

Is Final Fantasy V available in English?

Oh yeah........

That should probably read Final Fantasy 5(GBA)

[bouncerboy15]

You should at least give Metroid: Zero Mission a play through. It's a good remake.
Damn, that game was fun. I wouldn't mind playing it again.

[Ab56 v2 aka Ash]

Wait I casually skimmed through the list and went straight to point out Metroid: Zero Mission, yet I just realized you haven't yet played SUPER METROID!? Get outta town!

[Drack]

Wait I casually skimmed through the list and went straight to point out Metroid: Zero Mission, yet I just realized you haven't yet played SUPER METROID!? Get outta town!D'oh! Was building the list from memory, knew I forgot to add a few. Of course I've played SM. Fixed now.

[Arek the Absolute]

I have played 99% of those games, Coop, as well as almost every single game listed in drack's list.
Why the hell am I not pale as fuck? I obviously have no time for sunlight.

[The Coop]

Oh, and I forgot the European version of Zero Wing. It plays just fine on a US system.

[Drack]

Shit Coop .. I think I've been </thread>ed

Guess it's time to get to w ... I mean playing! I'll keep the list updated.

[sephfire]

Your lack of PS2 and Xbox have lost you a few awesome titles, sadly. Psychonauts, Okami, Shadow of the Colossus and Katamari Damacy, off the top of my head.

I like this format of list you've laid out. I might make one for myself.

[Guy In Rubber Suit]

Shit COOP you just have that list laying around for situations such as these don't you?


Hmmm...I'll have to check out some of those games myself.

[atmuh]

uhhh soul blazer wasn't on that list

what are you thinking?!?!?!?!

[The Coop]

As dumb as it may sound, I only recommend games I've actually played all the way through (or at least well into them). I don't trust reviews all that much, as they're often all over the board when you go from site to site. So I just stick to listing games I have experience with. That's why titles like the Final Fantasies, Lunar 2 (Sega CD) and such aren't listed in my post.

And speaking of which, a few more forgotten ones...

[Bahamut]

As dumb as it may sound, I only recommend games I've actually played all the way through (or at least well into them). I don't trust reviews all that much, as they're often all over the board when you go from site to site.

My problem with review sites are that they're not honest about problems with games, or try to hide the most notable ones. That's why I'm in the process of starting one :grin: .

[The Coop]

True. Notice none of them ever talked about the small glitches in Capcom Classics Collection 2, or the weird issue with Joust 2's title screen on the XBox version of Midway Arcade Treasures 1. Or the huge, game ending bug in Primal Rage on MAT2 (XBox version). That bothered me quite a bit since they all said how perfect or great the emulation was.


Oh, and I added a few more titles to my second list above. Remembered a few others while I was in the shower.

[watkinzez]

Get a PS2.

[cobaltstarfire]

If you get the ecco the dolphin games you might want to try the genesus version instead, the cd versions have a new level or two that don't particularly add much, and the soundtracks are replaced by mostly ambient junk. (Nothing against ambient, but most the music in the cd versions was...bad).

That's just me though...sometimes the music can break a good game for me...

Ecco games are probably amoung my fav of all time though, they were very different and challengeing for their time, and probably still are now to a certain point, or atleast for people that don't know the ins and outs of the game.

Oh yeah, for the GBA

Golden Sun, only the first one though, the second one didn't really hold up to the original I thought....

[linkspast]

Get a PS2.

QFE.

Just by not having a ps2 you miss a ton of awesome games such as
Shadow of the Colossus, and FF12, or MGS2 and MGS3.

[Drack]

Thanks guys for the suggestions - I may look into getting a dreamcast or ps2 to pick up some of the games I missed out on. Aside from that, you've provided lots of titles I can't wait to try.

</thread>. Seriously this time. I've sigged the list; PM me if you have any more suggestions.
