Attn SX: Help Edit Top Games Lists

I've compiled a list of the most popular/best games for each of the Sega consoles

I've done this for two purposes:

1) As a checklist for the Gameplay Video Archive

2) to have a tidy list of the best games to check out for Sega newbies

I need everyone's help to look over the list to make sure I'm not missing some good games.

I realize there are many games on the lists that are not qualified as the "best games" for a given system. If there is one like this on the list, let me know and I'll mark as not to be on the "best list, but only on the "video checklist".

Please post any games that you think should be added or taken off. But keep your suggestions to only a few titles.

I think You should add these 2 titles. Record of Lodus War (spelling?) and Toejam and earl For Genesis.
 
boy, I'm missing some good ones.

I even missed some good fighters on the DC that I later realized.

What would I do without you guys?

Virtua Fighter Kids, House of The Dead, World Series Baseball, WSB II and the Sakura Taisen games for Saturn.

NFL 2K - 2K2, NBA 2K - 2K2, Street Fighter 3: Double Impact, Dead or Alive 2: Limited Edition, NBA Showtime, NBA Hoopz, Ready to Rumble Boxing (Original and Round 2), Tennis 2K2, World Series Baseball 2K2, NCAA College Football 2K2, Tokyo Extreme Racer 1 & 2, Unreal Tournament, Quake III: Arena, Gundam Side Story: 0079, Soldier of Fortune, Samba de Amigo, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2, all for DC. I could list many more, but these are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

Golden Axe I - III, Ys III, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, Kid Chameleon, Revenge of Shinobi, Shadow Dancer, Shinobi III (IV), NHL 94, John Madden Football (up until the 93 edition, that was the last good one), Gaiares, Soldiers of Fortune, Sonic Spinball, Virtua fighter 2, Super Thunder Blade, Maximum Carnage, Power Rangers, Power Rangers The Movie (snicker all you want, but they're good games! I LOVE the Movie game!), Battletech, Aladdin, Toejam & Earl 2, MK - Ultimate MK3, and Lakers vs Celtics, for MD/Genny. that's all I can think of for now.

Final Fight CD, Eternal Champions Challenge From the Darkside, The Terminator, and Ecco The Dolphin for Sega/Mega CD.

Edit: Added the other two World Series Baseball games for Saturn.
 
I'm gonna do the ones that need to go...for now I'll look at the DC....and Genny since thats what I know best...

Cannon Spike (what are you thinking...smashTV wannabe...)

Confidential Mission

Gigawing

Gunbird 2

Iron Aces (ack, this was horrible)

Too many KOF...just pick the best one and stick it on there....

Record of the Lodoss War

Sega Smash Pack....(its just some old games)

Puzzle Fighters....

Vampire Chronicles

Genny

Chakan (overhyped, crap/ cool gfx)

Combat Cars

Monopoly (I hardly think a board game can be considered the best on any system

I'll add to my list of "no-no's" later....
 
And why would you want to remove Record of the Lodoss War! That is a pretty good Diablo style game. I And How could you want to remove Puzzle fighter! Gotta keep those 2.
 
Okay...well Lodoss War, I dunno, not a game that immediately springs to mind when you think DC...its a clone of a game better suited for PC, I don't think it belongs on the list.

Puzzle Fighter...com'on, on DC? I thught the game mechanics were cool too, but not on sega's 128 bit uberconsole.

I see we are in agreement for al the rest...then lemme continue my bitch session. (I've had a rough week)

Sega CD

Out of this World (I think that if the games on a PC, unless the conversion is spectacular, there is no reason it should be on the list.

Amazing Spiderman vs. The Kingpin

Flashback: The Quest for Identity (High profile, low quality IMHO)

Sega Classics Arcade Collection (4-in-1) (Like honestly, I think if we're sega fanatics, theres better places to get these games)

Silpheed (Am I the only one that thinks this sucks?)

I wanna add Tomcat Alley to the list ust because I love Top Gun and Mansion of Hidden Souls...com'on...it was allright for its time.

To the Genny section, I wanna add all the Disney games including Aladdin (which is already there) the Jungle Book, and the best one The Lion King...I think they were all quality platform games. Revenge of Shinobi, Ghouls and Ghosts, Herzog Zwei, Strider....

What about adding Winter Heat and/or Steep Slope Sliders to the Saturn section? Forgot ahout Dragon Force have we? One of the greatest strat/rpg games ever....
 
If the Bust-a-Move 4 on DC is as shit as the one on psx then for god sakes take it off.

If you don't know what the psx one is like, then to be brief, it has this combo thing - you shoot one bubble, knock away the bubbles it hits and then like a chain reaction, other bubbles that should have remained start popping - and don't you dare say this is better than the original <_<

You may also add Wonder Boy in Monster World and Wonder Boy: Dragon's Lair for MD/ GEN
 
What is 18 Wheeler doing there? It's a cop out game with no replayablity, and minimal initial challenge...
 
18 Wheeler should be on the video capture list maybe but probably not the "top" list

I'll put Puzzle Fighter on the Saturn list -- especially since the original copy of the DC version is hard to come by.

Silpheed is one of my favorite SCD games and a lot of other people like it.

I'll wait a little longer and then update the lists again
 
Sega Master system games added under the Genesis list

Thanks to whitesnake for the list.

Check it out.

I'm not a SMS expert by any means, so I need everyone's help

Bust a move 4 is cool -- I'm not much for the combo thing, but it's still one of the best Puzzle games for the system

Just remembered Puyo Puyo 4 though
