Paid Members BomberPat Posted July 8, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 8, 2019 Kicking myself over some of the things I forgot - Worms Armageddon and Lemmings definitely among them - but glad Monkey Island and Streets of Rage 2 made the cut. One of my last gigs as a DJ, I was in one room, and Mixhell (Igor from Sepultura and his wife) were playing in the adjoining room. I was supposed to start before them, with just a little bit of overlap, but got started late as a few other things over-ran. Started out with a pretty ordinary set, but pretty soon everyone started to fuck off next door to watch the headliner, who were also so loud you could hear them over my music anyway. So I just stuck on the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallicks Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 @Onyx2 Where was CM97/98 in the rankings? Also did anyone else even vote for Freespace?Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Mentioning Freespace makes me realise I forgot Wing Commander 3.Ā Sad times, not that it would have made the top 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted July 8, 2019 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted July 8, 2019 CM was just outside the 50, and suffered from being a long-running popular series.Ā You were the sole voter for Freespace. Descent was a series out of time. If it had been released three years different either way it could've been huge. The multiplayer was too weak in the original to catch fire in a post-Quake time. And the marketing made it sound like Elite when it really wasn't. File under hidden gem.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted July 8, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'm assuming Halo got plenty of votes but they were spread across multiple games? No way such a stalwart of multiplayer gaming is left off this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it had much in common with the original Descent series, but they slapped the name on it to help garner interest.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are better Street Fighter games than Street Fighter 2, though. If a Street Fighter game was going to make it in it would probably have been Third Strike.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 8, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 8, 2019 Street Fighter might be one of those that suffered due to being a franchise, as evidenced by your very discussion. Also neither of those is the version I would have voted for (I can't remember if it made my final list or not, but my game of choice is SFIV).
