This is how I feel.  I don't know most of the Zelda lore.  I actually don't like the stories in 98% of video games and that includes all of the Zelda games.  But the fantasy world is fun to walk around and explore and fight stuff.  It's just a fun world to be in.

The PSP has a version of the original game called Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions.  I've heard that it has an even better translation than the PS1 version, though I haven't played it much on the PSP, because I just prefer to play it on a TV.  I think it available on PSN as well.  So there are a variety of devices you can play the original game on.

42 is Populous?  It sounds like one of those Molyneux games.

Populous and Molyneux are two names I haven't heard in a long time. And while Populous was a fun game, many games doing this strategy stuff better in my opinion, so Populous isn't entering my TOP 50. So no, my #42 is a much newer and much more well known game.

And I looked around the internet for turn-based strategy today to see what is out there, and to my surprise many list FF Tactics (the original) as one of the most important strategy game. Now I'm even more intrigued. I'll look in the PSN-store to see if I can play it on my PS3 (don't own a PSP either). And I am thinking, if Square throws a bunch of FF games in the Switches direction, why not this one too?

For turn based tactical games, it is easily the best.  It is also the game that most other turn based fantasy games imitate (for example Disgaea.)  I would say that Final Fantasy Tactics is to tactical RPGs what Super Mario Bros 3 is to platformers.  It is a game so good and so defining, that it has inspired many imitators and yet none is as good as the original.  In fact not even the company that originally made the game can match or better it.  Nintendo cannot make a 2D platformer better than Mario 3, and Square-Enix cannot make a tactical RPG that is better than Final Fantasy Tactics.  Square made a couple of sequels, and they are good, but they are just not nearly as good as the original.

Correct!

As I said before, I'm a fan of adventures. Zack&Wiki was a cute and funny adventure, making use of the Wiimote. Sadly the sales were pretty bad. Maybe the japanese cutesiness repelled people, maybe the time wasn't right for a comeback of adventures (Cing that worked around the same time was eventually bankrupt).

Either way, Zack&Wiki is a lot of fun and should not be cast aside if talking about adventure games on console. It earned it's spot in the TOP 50.

Dynamite Cop

• SEGA Dreamcast
• 1999
• Beat 'em Up
• SEGA AM1/SEGA

Although it's just a sequel to an arcade game that used the license for the 'Die Hard' series outside of Japan but didn't use it itself, this game is awesome, mindless fun. 'Dynamite Cop' is a so-called beat 'em up, where you play through several levels in a linear fashion beating up everything in sight. These games are usually quite short, as is this one, but it has several different 'paths' to take to the end boss depending on the character you choose, which adds replay value.

What makes the game such good fun is that you can literally use anything that isn't bolted to the floor, as a weapon. Whether it be a simple chair, a barbell or even a hooked piece of meat in the kitchen. There's weapons too, from knives to anti-tank weapons, and things can be set on fire using a lighter. Each path has their own mini-bosses.

The throwaway story follows a special forces unit trying to rescue the daughter of the president from modern-day pirates onboard a luxury cruise liner. The levels take the player all over the ship, from the engine room to the kitchen to the decks and crew quarters, culminating in the final stage on the bridge where the pirate captain is the end-boss.

#42: The initial three civilizations, their units, their tech and their.. other thing, are based off real world history. The expansion added a fourth however, but this civilization probably never existed.

Yes.

It’s hard to think of a decent hint for that game. Everything that references the gods or mythology immediately gives it away.
