Without doubt the greatest game the Megadrive produced........in my opinion anyway.

[greenegg]

Without doubt the greatest game the Megadrive produced........in my opinion anyway.

My favourite megadrive game would probably be Skitchin. There were some good old Gems on that system mind. Street Fighter with E.Honda 1000 hand slap was class too. My mate still owns a fully working Megadrive and we still have the odd blast now and then.

[Krook]

Some good shouts here.

Final Fight - Man what a game! Sure Streets of Rage has a better following but I think FF was the game which created the whole scrolling beat 'em up genre. On the arcade once I remember being well chuffed that I'd reached the third level. Played it again quite recently on GBA and finished it first go.

Gauntlet - Another game I used to cane on my Amstrad. Didn't it have an unlimited amount of levels? Or atleast about 20 which got repeated till you die. I still fear the touch of that Death character. ;)

Barbarian - Awesome. Ok well compared to most beat 'em ups these days the fighting is simple.... but you could decapitate your opponent! A first in those days maybe. Haha just remembered the little green servant thing that walks across the screen, kicks the head away and drags the body. Classic!

Hey Greenegg, surely you've missed out Sam & Max. That game was funny & clever. Rare.

I'll add some more of my own soon.

Me and you baby.

Also Donky Kong for the N64 was a killa.

Skitchin class game! I had a load of Japanese games, Strider, Sonic, Castle of illusion and a game with a guy with a weird turbin on his head. My uncle knew the name of it, will as him. All in them rounded of Jap cartridges, had to modify my Megadrive by carving into the slot! Pre historic chipping

Dam straight.

a lot of these games will get released on the X-box arcade. I was in a right pickle when it came to choosing Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter, MK won though.

Shinobi was quite good too, would be nice to go back and actually complete these games.

[Dragonfly]

I can't believe Killer Instinct hasn't been mentioned. :no:

Also, Sunset Riders. ;)

[Jonny2J]

Road Rash anyone?

[Haribo]

I think i may just go out now and buy a Sega just to play Streets of Rage, what a bloody game.

Or just download it for pc ;) (There's a thread somewhere)

Just loved Italia '90, Streets Of Rage and Mega Bomberman. Three of my favourite all time games.

[Jonny2J]

I used to love Toejam & Earl as well on the MegaDrive.

Sort it then Andy lad.

[Haribo]

I can't find it. I've downloaded all the classics from it..maybe the thread was removed? :huh:

[Chuck Morris]

Gauntlet - Another game I used to cane on my Amstrad. Didn't it have an unlimited amount of levels? Or atleast about 20 which got repeated till you die. I still fear the touch of that Death character. ;)

Can't remember whether it had unlimited levels but your right about that Death character, used to shit mysef when that thing came after me..........probably still would now, lol.

I've still got my Commodore 64 upstairs somewhere, don't think i've got Gauntlet for it though, pretty sure some cunt nicked it on me :angry:
Still, it's definately my favourite game on the C64.

[Disco Pants]

I remember Gun Star Heros and Road Rash but the Dizzy Series anyone, Treasure Island Dizzy was Classic.

[Chuck Morris]

You can make great retro gaming sigs aswell with your print screen button:

That takes me back. Used to love the Dizzy games, they were rock solid to complete though. Particulary Treasure Island as you mentioned. You only had one life!

Many a time did I have to stop myself from putting my fist through the screen when I had mistimed one of his fiddly jumps.

Ahh, the memories. :D

Blue, unfortunately none of us could get it to work. Shame that.

[jMz]

I'd like to see a next gen version of Alien versus Predator.
Imagine online, creeping behind a marine in stealth as the predator, giving the growl then slicing his head off.
Nice.

[Chuck Morris]

No probs, cheers for the reply Krook.

Just had a game of Italia '90.......haven't got a clue what the controls are, any ideas?

[mutu]

Road Rash anyone?Yes sir. Road Rash on the meg was awesome. Especially the post race craptastic cutscenes :D

Random games I can remember from my Mega Drive collection;
Captain Planet, Ecco the Dolphin, Theme Park, Altered Beast, Fifa 94/5, Streets of Rage, Aladdin, Toy Story, Aquatic Games, Desert Strike, Golden Axe, The Lion King, Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, Olympic Gold, Sonic, Terminator 2, Tazmania

[Joel]

I can't believe Killer Instinct hasn't been mentioned. :no:

:w00t JAGO!!!!

I played that game to death....both the Origional and Gold kicked ass! Oh and Glacius was such a theif...took hours to beat him.

Double Dragon II for the NES used to get killed. I feel like buying a NES, just for this game right now.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Dragon_II:_The_Revenge

Super Mario Bros, Mario Bros. 2 and Mario Bros 3. will always get a mention from any Nintendo die hard fan (back in the day).

I use to like Duck Hunt, but only because I had the gun for the NES

Use to love Punchout too. It was this Boxing game, very fun.

Location: Liverpool.

:|

Anyway, SoR, Golden Axe and Road Rash are all good shouts, but what about classics such as Mario Kart (admittedly not as old as some here, but still old in my view)? Or Sonic!

Ah, the old days. :crymore:

[The Messiah]

Every fucker thought they were the daddy on Mario Cart & GoldenEye. When in reality i was! ;)

[Chuck Morris]

Boring stereotype, i take it you've probably never been to Liverpool in your life......

[Levsta]

golden axe fantastic game bk in the day

[mutu]

What?:mellow::no: Leave it out mate the megadrive was my sisters, I was only 10. Fucking classic anyway to be honest *gives you the finger*

I gave Sonic a shout, he was alright before he went all 3d. That extra dimension made him look fat, leading to his untimely demise. What about Desert/Jungle Strike though? From the days before I could pronounce Frigate, or knew what the flying frigate a frigate was

I remember those little shits, hiding in their holes with missile launchers. The dirty bastards. This screenshot is bringing back hatred

[Hunter]

Is anyone else having trouble playing these games with keyboard controls ? I've downloaded Aladdin and Lion King, both require some keys to jump and what not however the characters don't respond. Help is appreciated, who knows you may even get rep.

Why don't you invest in a PS2 controller USB port?

Noo dude, that was taken the wrong way (ooh err) I think. What I meant was I loved Ecco enough to wank over it...but it seemed no-one else did, I was alone in wanking over a dolphin...strange that. :mellow:

[The Messiah]

Ecco kicked ass. Damn those aliens!!

[CaptainCabinet]

Dam right it did, even if it did take me ages to work out how to play it when I first played it....

[Jasperinho]

I spent my entire youth on Sensible (World of) Soccer on the Amiga... What a wonderful game that was.. Also remember Pele Soccer on the Atari 2600, hilarious football game if you think of it now, but it was one of the best games at the time.

[The Messiah]

Anyone remember a football game set in the future? The captain always had a ponytail, bounce shots off wall & shoot other players.

[mutu]

[CaptainCabinet]

:laugh: You have fun there man.

[Usul]

golden axe fantastic game bk in the day
Golden Axe, is one of the Greatest.

Anyone remember an Amiga game called, Another World...?

Which reminds me of all the Quest games and the Leisure Suit Larry games. Early nineties, the era of the graphic adventure.

@Krook and Bluescouse: I loved Barbarian.

[Chuck Morris]

What console? I remember one on the PS1 called Dead Ball Zone, it was similar to American Football but set in the future. You could kill players on it with or knock them out. You could play a season mode on it and once a member of your team gets killed then he was out for the rest of the game, players that got knocked out would stay on the sidelines for a few games. Might see if i can get it off ebay or somewhere, quite enjoyed that game.

Remember something similar on the Megadrive aswell called Mutant League Football. That was American Football but set in space.....and your team was full weird mutants and mosnters. Same thing as DBZ where you could kill your opponents players.

[The Messiah]

I had it on the Neo Geo console. Gonna search Wikipedia.

I've just started playing Final Fantasy VII again. And once again it amazes me how great the game is. Although the graphics are now a bit poor, I wouldn't mind seeing a remake version with outstanding graphics. They have remade Metal Gear Solid, so there is no reason to remake another great game from the 90's.
