Really? Even in my Top 15, I want to move things around. Honestly my #1 & 2 are a tie, my #3 & 4 are a tie, and I think #5-9 are also a tie. I had to pick the game I played the most the win, and even then I think I played my #1 less then my #2.

After #15 or so, I felt it was easier to rank because then some games started to become clearly preferred over others.

Handheld game, not a Sega game. Not a platformer either.

The game has a lot to do with rails of some sort.

To start off the list! Like I said, the first five games of my new list will be a couple of 'legacy-games'. Games that made me the gamer I am today.

'Game 14: Gunfighter'

for the Philips G7000, also known as 'Showdown in 2100 AD.' for the Magnavox Odyssey2 released in 1979.

This game from 1979 is from way before my time. It took about fifteen years before I was born and started gaming on my own. This game on the successor to the world's first home-console, was one of my pioneer games. This can very well be the first game I ever played. However, some others have a shot at that title, I'm not sure.

Why such an old game, even for back when I started gaming, to be my first game? It is the fault of my mother. She had kept her Odyssey2, which is called the G7000 in Europe, since her own childhood. It came with a couple of games, from which this one is the most memorable for me. This game introduced me to the 'home-console', and to gaming with controllers. And, last but not least, to multiplayer. This game is so old, that single-player as we know it now wasn't even really invented. Nearly every game was multiplayer only. Local-multiplayer of course. You could say, the G7000 is Nintendo's dream-console.

The object of 'Gunfighter', aptly named 'Game #14' on the box and cartridge, is simply, to kill the other player in a gun-fight. Each player is a cowboy on screen, and each player has a set amount of bullets per turn. The player that kills the other player 10 times first, wins. That's easier said than done. With the G7000's advanced controllers, a player could move around the entire screen, and you could take cover behind a tree. Don't shoot however! The trees deflect the bullets back to you!

Such a nice time, when your imagination says colored triangular figures on the screen that look like spades, are actually 'trees'.

#49 Hint

This game is probably even harder to guess than 'Gunfighter'. This extremely niche game is a lot newer (but definitely not 'new'), and it only came out on a platform that isn't known for it's games. Actually, that's a big reason that by far most people look to the biggest competitor in the computer space instead. The game itself is reminiscent of a fairly well-known puzzle game on Nintendo's NES, but not related. Some levels are actually the same though! It stands out because of it's bright colors, and it's catchy sound-effects.

Zelda: Spirit Tracks?

Spoilered for Michael-5's sake .

Wher do we post the game?

You got it right. I'm surprised no one got it first time around. 

It's quite clear, vehicle parts (Anjean, Gage), Leprechaun (Cole). Maybe I should have gone hard with a Malladus hint.

You can post your list in this thead.

The discussion thread is for talking about the games on your list.

Should've got it with the rails hint. :( Silly me.

Hm, so a Mac/Linux exclusive?

A Mac exclusive, yes .
