36. Knights of the Round (Arcade, SNES)
A pretty typical Capcom beat 'em up from the early '90s. Aside from a few quirks - a linear leveling system that really just makes your character become increasingly badassed-looking rather than noticeably more effective, and a blocking system that adds a number of intricacies to the gameplay - it's really pretty bog standard. Well executed, to be sure, but nothing more than that. And yet... I am utterly obsessed with this game! I don't know if it's the colors (there are a lot of them, and they sure are pretty!) or the soundtrack (fuckin' dreamy) or the lore (I still want to be a knight of the round table when I grow up) or just sheer nostalgia, and frankly, I don't want to examine it too closely for fear of breaking the spell. I love the hell out of this game, and I love loving the hell out of this game. So much so that it doesn't even bother me that they made Lancelot the weakest and quickest knight and Perceval the strongest and slowest one when it should haven been the other way around... okay, that does bother me a lot little. Still, whatever the reason, this game takes me away to a special place.
