I figure hrdboild isn’t going do this for his own list, so I’ll take up the reigns on this matchup. And I’m shocked he’s already done this more than once. This is a huge endeavor and rather time consuming; I’m rather amazed at his commitment, the maniac. I’ll stick to snarky blurbs that mention...

I really find it fascinating that my roster is on the high end of the metacritic rating, but the lower end of units sold. Skies of Arcadia struggled for obvious reasons, but otherwise, I can’t think of which games are dragging down my average there.

You’re certainly the king of the obscure … Except, no. You only have 3 titles (Fight’N Rage, Battle Garegga Rev.2016, and Gungrave G.O.R.E.) of which I had absolutely zero knowledge, probably because they appear to be more modern, niche, genre specific titles with seemingly intentionally...

The first Toe Jam and Earl is one of three games along with Sonic and Strider that had me occasionally cross to the Genesis dark side. I mean, I played a ton more at friends’ houses, but the likes of Altered Beast, Two Crude Dudes, and Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker didn’t exactly make me feel I...

Not meaning to be snarky, actually curious. If it’s endless, how do you beat it?

You still might! And I still absolutely freaking love your island. Brings back memories of those old school NES days, half dozen kids crammed into my cousin’s room playing Super Mario Brothers, Rygar, Castlevania, Rush’n Attack, Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!, T&C Surf Design, Rad Racer, Kung Fu...

You are most decidedly not getting trounced. You are the only island where I could be Batman. That gives you a punchers chance at the very least.

Fun idea. OK, I’ll go. 1: AC IV: Black Flag (hrdboild) 2: Baldur’s Gate 3 (Insomniac) 3: Stardew Valley (Turgenev/mac) 4: Batman: Arkham Asylum (Sluggah) 5: Secret of Mana (SLAB) 6: SimCity 2000 (Warhawk) 7: Earthbound (white chocolate) 8: Zelda: ALttP (Padrino) 9: TMNT: The Arcade Game (Spike)...

I also went and redacted this reply to Sluggah’s Batman: Arkham Asylum pick. Truly an awesome set of five titles to bring me back to gaming. Also, wanted to close the loop on the whole “war room” thing. Total bust. They’d moved on by round 4. Surprised me too because I worked with a friend last...

I still haven’t played that even after buying it and asking on here years ago for programs to get a PC Steam game to run on a. Mac. Obsolete indeed.

Yet another on my long list of games to get to when time, budget, and family permits. Returnal Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Ghost of Tsushima Fallout: New Vegas Control Hi-Fi Rush Dave the Diver Armored Core 6 Spec Ops: The Line Marvel’s Midnight Suns Lousy adulting; what are you good for? Oh...

Based on your taste and descriptions, I think you’d like Odin Sphere and maybe Vanillaware as a whole. Muramasa: The Demon Blade, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, and Unicorn Overlord might check the boxes you listed.

As I said openly already, I absolutely loved Cap’s list and have my money on him “winning” this whole thing. What a fun and giddy ride through the golden age of the early NES and 80s gaming, along with a few modern titles with the same spirit. Reminded me just how much affection I have for...

Rather than post my lengthy list of leftovers, here are my next 5 picks had we gone the full 20. Civilization II (PC) - 1996 This is the only game I owned on a PC in high school, and is something of my zen game. Meaning I can return to it again and again as almost a meditation and ultimate...
