ok. well since you posted 30 games i will do the same.

I could have listed many more than 30, but at least I had the courtesy to cut out all the crap.  I wish you'd respect my thread and do the same.  That King's Quest game has reviews as low as 10%.

 

The best thing to come out of 1998 was an expansion pack.

And 1998 had Chrono Cross, the quickest and hardest fall from grace of a sequel I've ever had the poor luck to look forward to.

And 1988 had the the crappiest main titles in the two best franchises franchises ever (SMB2 and LOZII).

Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Soul Calibur, Starcraft, Half Life, Baldur's Gate, Banjo Kazooie, Xenogears, Resident Evil 2, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Grim Fandango and Pokemon. You can't beat it. Don't even try.

Blaster Master > Ocarina of Time, for adventure game in which you explore, find a temple, beat a boss, and gain a new item that grants you access to a new part of the world, and repeat the process.

Iron Tank > Metal Gear Solid, for one-man-army military tactical espionage action.

Double Dragon II > Soul Calibur, for fighting.

Nobunaga's Ambition and Famicom Wars > StarCraft, for strategy games in which you compete for resources and land and kill each other.

Mega Man 2 > Half-Life, for shooting.

Ultima V > Baldur's Gate, for western RPG.

Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 > Banjo Kazooie.

Dragon Warrior III > Xenogears, for Squeenix RPG.

Splatterhouse and Ghouls 'n Ghosts > Resident Evil 2, for horror.

Ys II > Panzer Dragoon Saga, for Sega RPG.

King's Quest IV and Leisure Suit Larry 2 and Deja Vu II > Grim Fandango, for point and click graphic adventure gaming.

Might and Magic II > Pokemon, for an RPG in which you collect friends, choose which ones to have in your party, and grind them a bunch.
