Your top ten video games of all time

The Lounge General Discussion
#141

This one is fantastic and supports a lot of different consoles (NES, SNES, N64, Sega Master, Sega Megadrive, PS1, etc.): https://www.recalbox.com/

You just need a Raspberry Pi and a compatible controller (e.g. XBox, PS3, PS4).

Reading the thread it seems we need platform specific and decade specific lists of our top 30 games :laughing:

Turrican 2 is a great game, just not a GOAT for me. The soundtrack however is up there with the best! I play Desert Rocks all the time on my synths :smiley:

yessss

as an aside i stuck to the 10 in my post from my childhood really but i really have to give a shout out to Journey. i think itā€™s definitely a top fave of all time. i played that game for months on end and found the multi-player interactions so unique, almost romantic at times, like iā€™d met someone special. and then in the early release there were a lot of bugs and you could sneak through the cracks and go explore the outworld behind the gameworld for hours. it was so fun trying to convince people to follow you into those weird depths

Phantasy Star Online (dreamcast)
Advance Wars - Dual Strike (ds)
Dragonā€™s Dogma (x360)
Fire Emblem Three Houses (switch)
Control (ps4)
Dead Space (1-2, x360)
Bioshock (x360)
Silent Hill 2 (ps2)
Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (ds - and I canā€™t read japanese, it was - and certainly still is - that good)
Yuppie Psycho (switch)

Nostalgic award goes to: Sonic the Hedgehog (50hz megadrive because 50hz soundtrack > 60hz :3)
