48 – Super Mario Bros 2


When I was a child I saw one of my cousins playing Super Mario Bros 2: It was a level were Mario jumps from whale to whale and can use the whale’s blow to reach higher objects. It might not seem much, but that level blew my mind as no other game had done before. As for the game, it might not be the platforming masterpiece that SMB and SMB3 were; it doesn’t have the same unique flow nor the level design that makes those games so good, but it has its own virtues: four characters with different control responses (hey, Luigi would control like “green Mario” if it weren’t for this game), imaginative enemies (that robot mouse was epic), clever mechanics (the item that opened a door to the reverse world)… and those whales.

Okay, that was just in time. In my time-zone anyway. On to the next one.

48: You really just want to point and shoot that one character, but you can't because he's inside the TV!

Duck Hunt

It couldn't really be anything else.



Hint for #47:

Nintendo is for Kiddy.

Icarus.

Good guess! No cigar, though...

How did you manage to make a list of 50 great games without listing any games for Sega systems?

Well, maybe he never owned a Sega system (though I remember talking about the Game Gear with him) or he just happens to like more the stuff he choose for the list than the games from Sega he played. I grew up with Sega and my list should have around just 4 or so games from Sega systems, there were just so much good stuff going on together and after Sega was a console maker... it's possible.

My list doesn't have a single XBOX game, by the way (though there are multiplats).

YOU MONSTER.

Kinda late for the first one but some hints...

#48: Veni, vidi, vici
#47: Sean Bean!

#47: GoldenEye 007 maybe?

I feel like I should be able to take a guess on 48 as well but I'm not sure yet...
