QuoteI am a graphic artist that has a passion for video games, especially old video games. One of my favorite systems of all times is the NEC TurboGrafx-16 which has fueled my passion to do something large for the TG16 community.
In the past have I have done other projects to help with the Retro community the most notable was the Card Fighter Project. The idea behind that was to take the Neo-Geo Pocket Color games SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighter Clash 1 and 2 and turn it into a real TCG (Trading Card Game). Due to the cost in keeping the website open I eventually had to close that site down, but if interested you can still Google search for Card Fighter Project and find out more about it.
Quote from: Ayce on 03/09/2015, 09:42 AMThis looks like fun and a neat idea... I'm on board. So these are not necessarily my favorite games of all time, but they are the games that define my gaming history.
#1 Pac-Man for the VCS
My earliest memory of playing any video games is when I was sitting at home on our VCS in 1980. My brothers were both away at school and I was sitting at home playing Pac-Man. The only reason this day sticks out in my mind is because it was the first time I passed the first maze.
#2 Berzerk VCS
Another game on the VCS that I found an attachment to simply because of how fun it was. I remember the time that I used to spend playing this game along with a few honorable mentions. Circus Atari and Combat.
#3 Super Mario Bros NES
I think anyone who was around when the NES was released this would probably be the top pick for what defined their gameplay habits. Super Mario was the pinnacle of gaming at that time, and it was an amazing game. Again honorable mention would be Zelda, Mario 2, Mario 3, Crystalis
#4 Maze Hunter 3D SMS
As a child of the 80's my brothers and I wanted an NES... we never got it. My parents opted to get us the SMS with Zapper and 3D instead. Which I was very glad that is the way they ended up going. All my friends had the NES so I was able to play it basically whenever I wanted. The SMS blew the NES out of the water, but not all the games were quite as fun. Some honorable mentions are: Phantasy Star, Alex Kidd, Zillion II
#5 Altered Beasts Genesis
My brother stayed home from our family vacation because he had to work. When my parents called to check up on him I talked to him and he turned on Altered Beasts and let the voice "Rise From Your Grave" blare out over the line to make me jealous. I was so excited to get home and see this game in action for myself. Honorable mentions: Sonic, Phantasy Star IV
#6 Mario Land GameBoy
The same summer as before when we got home from our family vacation I had a package sitting on the dinning room table for me. I open it up to find that I have won the "Who's the real Capt. Crunch" contest and they sent me a Gameboy. This is the same year that I was looking into buying a Gamate instead. Mario Land is one of those games that I have very fond memories playing. Honorable mentions: Tetris (of course), Zelda, Kirby, FF3
#7 Super Mario World
The game that convinced me to buy a SNES. I was playing this game at a friends house and when my mom came to pick me up I showed it to her and said "This is what I want" She let me spend my paper route cash on it, and I was a happy boy. Honorable mentions: F-Zero, Zelda, Street Fighter II
#8 Street Fighter II Arcade
As this was an honorable mention for SNES it was a must as a defined game in my history. I was in middle school when this game came out and near my school we had a Pizza Hut. Several of us would leave the campus at lunch time (which thankfully I never got caught) to head over there to play SFII. I got sucked into the game that really boosted the fighting game genre.#9 Keith Courage TG16
The pack in game that came with the TG16 became an immediate hit with me when we got the TG16. I can't remember if we got the TG before or after Street Fighter II came out in the arcades so I'll put it at #9. Honorable mentions: Neutopia, Parasol Stars, Dragon's Curse
#10 Clockwork Knight Saturn
I'm out of time so I have to make this quick. It was amazing seeing a sidescrolling game that looked so amazing! The Saturn was a 2D powerhouse... not so strong in the 3D department. Honorable mentions: Astal, Street Fighter Collection...
