[SONYMEGADRIVE]

does it even let you continue?

the ds version i have has no continue and no cheat for infinite lives
the emulator version i was playin doesn't allow you to put in another
"coin" when you die

anyway - best game ever / best music ever

 

[Wavioli]

the one on MAME lets you as far as I can remember, but if you both die at the same time your screwed.

and yes, one of my all time favourite games, I even programmed the tune into my old nokia once, thats how obessed i was with it

 

[classic seanc]

No Turricane II??

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Civ 2 and Jet Set Willy 2 the rest is just window dressing and filler.

 

[RSJ]

No Turricane II??

Or settlers, no arkanoid, lemmings at 80... Is this a sister publication to Q?

 

[coast to coast]

Roland on the Rope....... I haven't heard those words in about 15 years!

Anyway... no Jonah Lomu Rugby??????? That game is fucking brilliant.

 

[Franco]

Would Edge happen to be a Nintendo fan boy mag? 11 out of the top 17 here either are solely Nintendo based or debueted on Nintendo consoles. Final Fanstasy VII in 17th?? It deserves higher than that..

1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo)
2. Resident Evil 4 (Nintendo)
3. Super Mario 64 (Nintendo)
4. Half Life 2
5. Super Mario World (Nintendo)
6. Zelda: A Link to the Past (Nintendo)
7. Halo: Combat Evolved
8. Final Fantasy XII
9. Tetris (Nintendo)
10. Super Metroid (Nintendo)
11. Yoshi's Island (Nintendo)
12. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
13. Ico
14. Super Mario Kart (Nintendo)
15. Pro Evolution Soccer 6
16. Street Fighter Anniversary (Nintendo)
17. GoldenEye 007 (Nintendo)

I could be wrong here but I don't think Tetris was originally released on the NES, it was some computer platform I think, maybe the IBM PC or Amstrad CPC. I get your point though.

In June 1985, Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris on an Electronika 60 while working for the Soviet Academy of Sciences at their Computer Center in Moscow with Dmitry Pavlovsky, and Vadim Gerasimov ported it to the IBM PC.

it's got a messy history after that

No fucking Half life?????

 

[Wavioli]

No fucking Half life?????

thats the first valid point this thread, and janer made it. For shame

half life is a fantastic game

the new zelda is better than the ocarina of time anyways.

Yeah, it was deadly. That said, i was seven when i played it.

 

[Franco]

How To Be A Complete Bastard, anyone?

 

[P. Littbarski]

bubble bobble is the only good game ever

agreed

[CitySickness]

Half Life is a pretty shocking omission alright. It was a more innovative game than HL2, IMHO.

 

[pete]

has anyone commented on the fact that this 100 Top Games special edition of Edge is €17 in easons?

 

[CitySickness]

It's made of platinum and studded with precious gemstones though, so fair enough.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

€17? Fuxache!
