Top 100

[DANGERMAN]

Not perfect, but I think I've done mine. I've tried not to have loads of the same series, so only one Shining Force, 2 Sonics etc, only included more than 1 if they're different enough

 

Top 20 are more or less in order, the rest are more stream of consciousness, but the towards the bottom would be down the bottom (like Crysis 3 for example, I like that game a lot, I've probably played 100 better games)

[mfnick]

Some great lists going about

Very pleasantly surprised how many Sega heads we’ve got, especially ones who owned a Saturn. ?

[OCH]

? I can't believe I forgot Killer 7!?!

[Hendo]

I've got about halfway through but I keep forgetting about some of my favourites so it's gonna be a tough call in the end.

I'm also trying to keep only one game per series in there but there is currently a couple of Zeldas.

[Nag]

I've had a go, it isn't in order and I've had to separate it into consoles and whatnot to help keep track, like everyone else I've probably missed loads...

[one-armed dwarf]

I like your format. I am going to steal it

[OCH]

It is very nice. Much like all the interesting talk of spreadsheets and excel above. I just clicked on the 'list' button ?

[shinymcshine]

So here's a list, both old and new, and with a few more than 100 (when I've put a series rather than individual titles, but noted such). Weird one is FIFA which I've played since MD days, to pick just 1 version....

 

So I'm not saying they are the best 100, just ones with fond memories of the time/platform.

this is the arcade music game with the grid of buttons as a screen right, i played it at arcade club and it was ace, was going to ask if there was a way to play it at home, then found i already had the ios version, i guess from when i had an ipad many years ago, but there's only 3 songs, it's one of those with loads of dlc, pricing isn't too crazy so i was thinking about buying a few packs - any good song suggestions? altough apparently the western ios release doesn't have access to all the songs the japanese one does.

[Snaggletooth]

Yeah thats the one, remember playing it back in Japan when it came out then was the first machine i hit up 

when I went back couple of years ago, such a simple concept as modern music games go but so good.

 

ahh I dont think there is an android version, can only find an companion  app for it on the store ? 

[spatular]

^ there's a ripoff on android called SionsBeat which lets you use mp3 files as the songs apparently, no idea if it's any good. i might try it too.

[Snaggletooth]

Cool, ill give it a look

[regemond]

I struggled to come up with 50 at first, so I personally feel like 100 would end up with me scraping the barrel and throwing stuff in for the sake of it. That being said, I ended up with 50-something and had to whittle it down, so I'm good with that. Obviously there's gonna be games I've completely forgotten about, but like others I've tried to keep it to one game in a series, unless the different titles are different enough to warrant more than one entry (Ass Creed). The only changes to this are games where the series is so similar across the board that it becomes redundant to pick one (ie Layton), or I need to include the whole series as singular experience (ie Mass Effect).

 

Also, several levels of organisation here. Manufacturer, System, Alphabetical Games. No way I could put these in a specific order.
