Sonic Pinball on the GBA!

No! Sonic Spinball on Genesis!

[TEKTORO]

I didn't include pinball, as no-one seems to have made any suggestions for pinball games but me.

I was thinking about Pinball of the Dead but haven't said it.

..well... until now.

I wanna get my hands on Pinball of the Dead!

I'm also gonna suggest Pokemon Pinball and/or Pokemon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire. Great games.

Beat me to it.

Also, one last pitch for Donkey Kong Jr.

I'd like everyone to take a look at what platformers we've done for TR so far:
-Castlevania
-NiGHTS into Dreams...
-Qwak
-Star Wars: Dark Forces

Qwak is the only one that was a fixed-screen platformer (and only on the Amiga version).

Also, we haven't done a classic arcade game since Tempest in December. It'll have been at least a year and a half without a new entry from those.

Kind of to get everyone thinking. There's also Donkey Kong if people don't really want DK Junior (though I prefer it).

I'd support DK Jr.

Dark Forces is not a platformer.

[YoshiEgg25]

Dark Forces is not a platformer.

It seemed to be listed as such in the TR thread, though I only saw fast's "MAR: DARK FORCES" and noise's following "MAR: PLATFORMER" posts. I wouldn't know since I didn't play it.

[CFFJR]

Yeah, Dark Forces is a FPS.

[alienjesus]

I really hate DK and DK Jr.

Same 4 levels over and over, and I'm not one for high scores in a platformer myself.

Play the '94 version for gameboy then. Its a better platformer than both super mario lands imo.
