BoB's Top 100 Games

[Loony BoB]

I thought the first one was called Championship Manager? Unless this is an unassociated game you're referencing.

Pike and MILF's posts in this thread going forward:

why is this higher than XCOM

[Quindiana Jones]

That's their response to almost everything nowadays. xD

Don't worry, there will be other games hey will be just as angry over the placement of (if not more so)... >_>;

60. Worms (series)
PC, 1995-2003

A friend of mine introduced me to this game back in high school and oh boy did we find all kinds of stupid things to do. It was all about the girders. We would slap a couple of girders high on the page, teleport some worms up there and completely destroy any kind of land there was left to stand on. And then? GIRDERS GIRDERS GIRDERS. GIRDERS EVERYWHERE. We would make sheep runs, we would mess about with the bungees, we would just piss around in the game in general. Sure, playing the game as intended is fun, but this game had so much more. And when we got bored we'd pick a random weapon and then see who could kill the other person first (usually a shotgun so it has some challenge to it).

You can do similar things in the 3D game but not nearly as amusingly - not saying the 3D variation is bad, though, I still enjoyed it and Danielle & myself played it a fair bit. But there's something about the old school games that just works so well! Anyway, I'm pretty sure that this is the highest placed artillery game on the list, and deservedly so. Scorched Earth, Gunbound, even Tank Wars were all fun... but c'mon. Worms.

Worms is indeed an awesome game. Kudos to you.

I wonder if we'll see a Lemmings on here.

[Loony BoB]

Lemmings was one of the last ten or so games I decided to cut in order to get it down to 100.

Worms is smurfing glorious. Great choice. I played multiplayer with a bunch of mates once and one of the guys decided to smurfing mash x at the end of his turn so the rest of us ended up with suicide worms

59. Mario Kart 64
Nintendo 64, 1996

The Kart game I played the most and loved the most. It was my neighbours and on rainy days unsuitable for outdoor activities, we would occasionally flock to his place for multiplayer runs on his N64. Mario Kart was one of those games and it was awesome fun. It didn't tend to mater who won, it was more about the great fun we would have on the way. Nobody excelled far beyond the rest of the guys, so it was always competitive and more often than not hilarious. I've played other Kart games but none really ever matched this one for me - perhaps it's the nostalgia, or perhaps it's just the great people I played with, but yeah. I don't recall which weapons were my favourite but a string of bananas was always good fun.

I think this is the highest ranking racing game on my list, pretty confident of that. This, Burnout Paradise and Wipeout HD are three racing games I don't have any issues going back to in order to play a few more games. I'm not a massive racing fan in general, but these games just did pretty much everything right in order to make an otherwise average genre into something that could entertain me for hours on end, for days on end.

At least it's on here, right. Mario Kart 64 is pretty great and it still gets busted out at parties sometimes. It has been transformed into Beer Kart 64 though so yeah.

[Bolivar]

^ Together with Super Smashed Bros. and Goldschlager 007 you have the Nintendo 64 - the greatest drinking console ever made...

I believe you mean "Drunk Driving"

That satisfying feeling when you hit someone as they're going over the jump in Wario Stadium

[Pike]

Oh man this is my favorite Kart racing game, no question. It had some tough competition from Diddy Kong Racing which was also very good but ultimately I think I just enjoyed MK64 more.

I've gotta say, I'm not a fan of Diddy Kong Racing. I think that game did too many things wrong.

I still prefer Super Mario Kart to this one, also, but this one is good.

It might be exactly the same game but it has a different name where I come from son.

[Formalhaut]

Oh man, Worms... Mario Kart... these deserve to be higher (lower?) on the list. These were great, great games.
