That Genesis list is in dire need of Rocket Knight Adventures. I don't remember too many games from that system, but that one always stuck with me.

Contribution: River City Ransom (NES)

Not sure how many people actually played, though. Best beat'em up I ever played.

Good list, but Teenage mutant ninja turtles 1 shouldn't have a *, it's pretty weak compared to the 2nd and 3rd one.

That list is still missing Metal Gear (NES). I mean c'mon it is THE original. Solid Snake and Gray Fox in the same game ftw :dead:

Earthbound was NOT created by Enix!

It was developed by APE, which was a division of HAL, which developed many Kirby games.

lol, my brother told me it was done by enix and I just assumed cause it had the same menus and battle organization.

The Unholy War
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/94/Unholy_war_cover.jpg

Developer: Crystal Dynamics
Console: Playstation

This is an old fighting kind of game that is truly amazing, it has two modes normal fighting where you getg to choose from a combination of different characters from either Technos(Techy guys) or Arkane (Wild life, and laser eye angels).

It is simply an amazingly fun game that I would kill to get to play again.

I'm interested to know which one you consider the best overall (across all systems).

Either System Shock 2 or Baldur's Gate(s)

Both are PC

lol, best over all... well to be honest i am an RPG fan and there are about 100 RPGs that I have that I haven't played more than about 10 minutes of to get the feel, so I doubt the I have the information to make that choice yet. But Seiken Densetsu 3 is damn awesome
