@udb23 Odd that Demon Attack was so well known for Atari 2600 when they also had a port of Phoenix.... was Demon Attack an upgrade?

UDb23

@muehltime Concept is similar to Phoenix as you have to shoot birds too; "demons" :-D
But gameplay is different and to me graphics were better (for that time) than other games both for Atari and Vic20.

Game Boy Advance: I recently found my old SP in a box in the garage, but I didn't find any Advance games. I honestly couldn't tell you what games I had, except for an Isometric Star Wars game that was pretty fun, until I got to a Droideka that I couldn't get passed.

Sega Gamegear: Sonic (can't remember which one. I used to swap with a school friend, my gameboy for his gamegear. I'd play it under my bed covers when I was supposed to be asleep. The backlit screen was awesome.)
Sega Genesis/Megadrive: General Chaos (This is probably my number 1 game of all time. I never even played it multiplayer, which is apparently where the game really shines.)
Sega 32X: Virtua Racing

Just kidding! :)

This thread is becoming very interesting, with good suggestions. I'm going to add it to the "Useful topics index".

@mattrixk will have to check out GC

Ok, as i read this list i am seeing WAY too many people not saying SNATCHER as their favorite Sega CD game. This can only mean that everyone here hasn't played it! If you haven't, you must. It's Hideo Kojima's finest work.

I would added Snatcher to my "ToPlay" list if you mentioned this name before!

I've added it now. :)

@capeman I think most SegaCD games are difficult to get into if you didn't play them originally in the pre-Internet world. The load times and flow-choppiness do not age well. Coming at Snatcher from present day, I found the tic-tac-toe shooting screens to seem very primitive and surprising.

With that said, it is on most people's top 5 lists for the system, and warrants a playthrough.

I grew up on Mega Man games really and honestly i still play Mega Man 2 to this point cause it will always be my all time favorite.
Also that Mega Man maker game/program sort of looks like it won't be that popular since you can make over powered weapons which defeats the purpose of the original series and there is also other people i have talked to about it and they seem it would last about 2 maybe 4 months at most and then people will then forget about it.

@meleu You seem to be promoting that so often i see.

Coming at Snatcher from present day, I found the tic-tac-toe shooting screens to seem very primitive and surprising.

The two times I've played through it, I used a light gun. Once on the original hardware with a Konami Justifier and once emulated on my hacked Wii with a Wiimote and Nyko Perfect Shot gun adapter. Both times the shooting scenes were very engrossing and a lot of fun. I can imagine that some of the excitement is lost while trying to navigate the grid to shoot.

Oh it definitely is, it's a good thing those quicktime events are few and far between. Snatcher's real draw is the story, atmosphere and music. It's one hell of a presentation and oddly intense for a text based adventure game.
