Mario Bros was always one of my favorites, and man when I got the next three on NES! But thats for another forum :-)

Hello all...

I'm brand new to the forum, and I don't want to step on anyone's toes here, but I'd like to develop another top 100 list.

The current poll (and I give the person doing it serious props) is really a popularity contest. The more popular the game, the more points it's going to get. But games that haven't been played by as many people simply aren't going to get as many points, even if they're better games.

There is a way to fix this - if you go to Bestrollercoasterpoll.com, you'll see a methodology that removes popularity from the polling. I think it more accurately determines which games are "best," whereas the current poll determines which games are "most popular" - neither are more or less valid, but that's what they do.

I'm going to start the poll in a separate thread; I hope some people will come check it out.


Yes, you're right... I somehow got the feeling there is something wrong with this top-100 poll all along, but I never could really put my finger on it. After reading your post and the explanation on that rollercoaster site it became clear.

It's the game that I had the most fun with but it requires a friend. I'm too lazy to think of others.

Greetings from Germany :) Long time lurker here.
Well....
My little list is slightly different but nevertheless reflects how I, in retrospect, spent many early home-from-school-first hours:

1. Solaris Yes. Imcomparable IMHO. With self-drawn map and all. Played only at night :)

2. Midnight Magic It has the benefit of being the first. Yes, I played it like mad, almost always got the million. Or twice at least :)

3. Mario Bros. Many funny two-at-once-playing sessions spent before doing homework. Third cartridge.

4. Jungle Hunt. I donīt know how often we were making fun of it, actually mocking it. Still like it a lot.

5. Mrs. Pac-Man My second. A steady runner / chomper.

6. Space Invaders. Well. Hardly a surprise.

7. Pressure Cooker Still one of my favourites today, after some 22 years!

8. Threshold Donīt know why, I liked its simplicity. One could talk through it.

9. Joust. Like Mario Bros for me; only I had it for a short time only, hence it made no greater impact

10.California Games Which as far as I am concerned could have consisted out of the BMX alone!

Nowadays I have returned, by the GBA Activision Anthology, and by DS emulation software. That gave me at last the opportunity to check out H.E.R.O., Pitfall II, Robot Tank, Keystone Kapers etc, which I didnīt know then. And of course the homebrew top five, which, in my case, is only one:

1. Skeleton + Itīs creepy, I like it.

Welcome to AA, zongo!

As for my pics...I loved Asteroids and Space Invaders. Enduro comes in third. One I don't see that I thought really put the 2600 in graphics mode was Tunnel Runner...but since it's not on the list...I'll do this.

1. Asteroids
2. Space Invaders
3. Enduro
4. Jr. Pac-man (not on the list, but better than Pac-Man)
5. Missile Command
6. Defender
7. Star Raiders
8. Dodge Em
9. Adventure
10. Tunnel Runner

Yea, most of mine are probably not listed, but these would be my favorites in that order. My reason for the games I picked would be based on graphics, sounds, game play, fun factor and replay value. It's these that I would play on a regular basis.
