Crash Bandicoot is a glorious series. Lost Odyssey is great but it slowed down way too much at the end for me. Just, ugh. I will finish it though.

If I shave off my goatee I'll possibly look even younger than you, and I certainly act it, so... ?

Lost Odyssey was pretty damn boring for me. I give it props for the 1000 years of memories though. Those were easily the best part of the game.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I thought Lost Odyssey was fun to play, but that was mostly due to a lack of new JRPGs to play at the time. It really isn't anything special, but the 1000 Years of Memories is just so interesting to read that it made it worth it.

Look younger than me? Puh-lease, I don't look a day over 14.

You keep forgetting, Jiro: you don't actually look like your avatar.

71. Gothic II
PC, 2002

While this wasn't my first WRPG, it certainly was the one I was most interested in for some time. I don't know what it was that made me like it so much - perhaps it was how good a mood I was in at the time (second holiday with Mandy), perhaps it was how I learned a chunk of German words through it (watching her play the game, she'd translate every word), perhaps it was the interesting story or the gameplay, I can't quite place it. But whatever it was, I just really enjoyed playing this game for hours on end, days on end after I got back to the UK. I would often just spend that time doing completely non-quest-related things. I'd be out exploring, testing and just generally walking around to see what enemies I could and - more often than not - could not kill. Seeing how I could wrangle my way through a quest in non-obvious ways, which there often are. But yes, anyway, good game!

70. Star Control
PC, 1990

This is a game I played non-stop for very long periods of time when I was a kid. I did my best to master all of the ships, although there were really only a few I could win almost any fight with. Me and my neighbours would play against each other and it was always a case of something new - never the same fight each time, we would intentionally pick weaker ships to see if we could manage, etc. I liked that you had a team with strong and weak ships and had to tactfully consider which you were going to use first. Anyway, great game and - as is seemingly becoming a trend - I really want to play it again. Especially the galaxy colonising/mining thing which was awesome. You know, I think someday I'm going to invest in an old PC I can install all these DOS games on so I don't have to rely on DOSBox.

69. Streets of Rage (series)
MegaDrive, 1991-1994

I would play these games with my friend Jared back when I was in intermediate school, which means around 1994-1995. I was, in order: Adam, Max and Dr. Zan. My favourite was Max, he was an unstoppable force. Dr. Zan was alright as well. If I couldn't play any of those three, I'd opt for Blaze because, well, she's a hottie. xD Roo was pretty great too, once you unlocked him. Simple side scrolling beat'em'up games, but very well balanced and enjoyable, particularly multiplayer.

[NeoCracker]

...Yeah, thus far is a bunch of games I don't really care about at all.

[Aulayna]

If you don't care about Streets of Rage then you're a disgrace to gamers the world over.

[Loony BoB]

Seriously! But then, this is NeoCracker, I think he had about two different types of games on his list.

[Bolivar]

Streets of Rage - the reason why the SNES library was irrelevant.

[Shauna]

Seriously! But then, this is NeoCracker, I think he had about two different types of games on his list.

RPGS and obscure RPGs.

[Jiro]

Streets of Rage sounds familiar, but I think it was before my time. Might've played it at some point though, side scrolling beat 'em ups were all the rage (pun intended) back in the day.

68. SimCity (series)
PC, 1989-2003

I don't include anything after 2003 because I haven't played 'em yet. SimCity 2013 doesn't really appeal to me for rather obvious reasons. The one gripe I have with this series is how often the game crashes on me, even the old ones on my high end machine. I have no idea why this is, but it really pisses me off. I've had about three or four PCs that I've played this game on and the series clearly doesn't like this player. Which is a shame, because this player loves the series. I like to start on a massive area and grow at a fast pace. It generally works out alright for me that way. Not much else to say on it, really, as for all it's complexities, it's simply an enjoyable city builder for me, and that's a great thing.
