Haha, says in there you cannot ignore moderators, so does having him the list even do anything?

[ZeroAX]

You're forgetting the SG-1000.

Beat ya to it bud.

Ah, oops, I just saw ZeroAx's post, and didn't realize there was some gap in between.

Well, I do tend to draw the exclusive attention of everyone so it makes sense

[alienjesus]

Apparently, I played through the entire game without knowledge of the spin counter... Does the game teach you that at some point? (I suspect that it does, but I probably forgot about it when I put it down for a while to play something else. )

Yeah, right at the beginning when the goomba professor is teaching you about battling I think. You press B at EXACTLY the right time to take no damage and possibly even do some minor damage back to the attacker. It's a lot more finnicky with timing than the normal block.

@ZeroAX

Donkey Kong would be my choice.

@ZeroAX

Donkey Kong would be my choice.

That's 2. I'm amazed noise did not vote this one too (gameboy game and all)

[noiseredux]

OK, this might be it, or damn close:


Castlevania Draculs X (PSP)*
Doom 3 (Xbox)
Eye of the Beholder (SCD)
Final Fantasy (PSP)*
Killer7* (PS2)
Madworld (Wii)
Nights Into Dreams (Sat)
Panzer Dragoon (Sat)*
Resident Evil 4 (PS2)*
Tomb Raider (Sat)*

*denotes I've played a game in the past for at least an hour, but never made serious progress and seems like something I really should beat.

@Zero - Aladdin

I'll start my list now as well.

Dave, you may want to block me in advance. You won't like it.

[mjmjr25]

I definitely don't have chunks of time for RPG or strategy games and I don't care for FPS, so these will mostly be platformers, shmups, fighters, puzzlers and beat 'em ups.

1. EspGaluda - PCB
2. Ganryu - MVS
3. Magical Drop 2 - MVS
4. Samurai Showdown II - NGPC
5. Wild Guns - SNES
6. Sorcer Striker - PCB
7. Rush n' Attack - NES
8. Power Stone - PSP
9. Power Stone - DC
10. Pro Gear - PCB

The goal on all is a 1-credit clear, but i'll credit feed to the end in order to actually see everything, as needed.

Rationale:

1. Never beat the last boss or the subsequent TLB, a sequel that spawned another sequel.
2. Regarded as the best Neo Geo platformer, never ported, and i've never credit fed to the end.
3. One of my favorites, also a sequel that spawned many others, but MD2 is considered a gem. Never played story or arcade mode trying to actually beat it.
4. The NGPC game i'm most excited about. Haven't played it yet.
5. Really enjoyed this breifly w/my kids but only hit the 2nd stage, interested in putting real time into it and clearing.
6. A very popular classic in Japanese arcades that spawned 2 sequels held in very high regard.
7. My cousin Nate and I used to play this as kids, never got past 4th stage. Very excited to try and clear this now.
8. I've played through Power Stone 2 - want to give the original more time on story mode.
9. I own many games across multiple platforms, but typically only play the more popular version. Want to give the same game the same amount of time on different platforms to give a real comparison to.
10. My absolute favorite game and again, i've never been past stage 4 boss. This game put CAVE on the map and led to the best shmups available today.

Aw man, I've only played it a handful of times, but I adore Pro Gear. It's just so goooooood.

Wild Guns is amazing too, and I love me some Magical Drop. I think theres a good few solid choices there, although I can't talk about a few of the others like Ganryu & Sorcer Striker because I don't know of them.
