The Discussion Thread - The 14th Annual Greatest Games Event

[drbunnig]

Some more clues

42 - GoldenEye
- Hitting enemies in a certain spot can trigger a long and agonising (and possibly amusing) death animation.
- Out of all the games that use this particular licence, this one is often considered the best.

41 - Donkey Kong Country 3 (incorrect guesses - a Super Mario game)
- I’m not sure why the playable characters in this game weren’t included when the series made the move to 3D, as two of the new characters created for the 3D game were pretty similar.
- The world map is more interactive than in previous games, and houses a few secrets.

40 (incorrect guesses - New Super Mario Bros U)
- If you go against one of the main conventions of the game in the first level, you’ll be rewarded.

39
- A launch title for the first system it released on, it was sometimes criticised for having dark visuals that made it difficult to play on original hardware (subsequent hardware revisions remedied this issue). This is supposedly the reason the next game had brighter graphics.
