Damn, the mid-late '80s were such a great time for gaming. Aside from the Superman arcade game, which I never played, I absolutely love every game in the poll except for Double Dragon and Altered Beast, which were just ok (still loved them at the time, though).

Ugh... really, really hard for me to choose but it would probably be between Phantasy Star, Bionic Commando or the arcade of Ghouls 'n Ghosts. Just to show my love for home consoles, the Sega Master System, and the fact that it was a technical marvel for its day I'll go ahead and vote for Phantasy Star... but man it's close.

Also, that picture for Ghouls in the OP isn't from the arcade of Ghouls 'n Ghosts (nor the Genesis or Supergrafx ports, either). It might be from the GBA version of Super GnG, which had added levels but I'm not sure.
