32. Super Mario Bros Deluxe (last year 42), first impression 8, replay 8, technical 8.5

Pros: The game that started it all, of course, arcade-platforming at its most pure, simple and catchy. Bonus tasks helped expand the value of this classic, like Luigi's Lost Levels, Boo Races, Score Attack, hidden Yoshi eggs and secret Red Coins.

Cons: Linearity compared to other 2D Marios. Nintendo Hard difficulty in places can be a bit of a downside too.

Incorrect, but I can see why it'd fit that criteria :P

31 was one of the most gorgeous 6th-gen games, and was a launch game for its platform. The developer is now defunct after an infamous 7th-gen game.

32 - Dungeon Keeper.

31 - Theme Hospital?

Eternal Darkness?

Rogue Squadron II.

32 - Correct.

31 - Not quite :P

Player 2 got it, though Alpha_Cielgo could be right too (though Eternal Darkness was nowhere near the powerhouse Rogue Squadron 2 was)

When it's going to show up... :P

Populous: The Beginning, then?

#38 - One of the only games where they managed to make a proper 4th installment on a trilogy that ended very conclusively. I.i. it's the 4th game in a trilogy. The enemies in the game are a type of parasite which spread uncontrollably because the enemy type in the games name have been erraticated.

#37 - This game received some praise for mocking other well established franchises but critisizm for a lack of originality. Had a very challenging post game challenge mode, which took me 2 days to finish, but it was damn satisfying. IMO this game defines fast paced action games. This game was criticized because the enemies look like a main enemy type in a famous Bioware Game.

#36 - One of the major characters in this game, was not seen in a sequel, but might be re-introduced in the next game in the series. This game is often considered the best in the franchise by most of the hardcore fans. This is also a fighter, it's a sequel to a game which almost didn't get localized because the developer thought that the Western Audience wouldn't like it.

#35 - Was an exclusive, then it was no longer exclusive, but then a special edition made this an exclusive again. A terrible design choice in the sequel killed all hype for this franchise. Gameplay involves using grapple hooks to climb up ledges, and thermal packs to survive the extreme conditions.

#32 - While 3D is all the rage now, this game was one of the first games to properly utilize the consoles two screens. It's named after a GBA franchise, which was a sequel to a Japan only Gameboy franchise.

#31 When you hack into a research computer in this game, you can ask the following questions, and get these answers:

What happened to China? Reports uncertain. China my be fictional.
Can mole rates be domesticated? Yes if defanged, declawed, & lobotomized
Can Centaurs talk? Abundance of tongues suggest so.
