    This is a terrible idea, but let's be honest daftmike's mini-nes was lovely. So this is a list thread that involves piracy, emulation, retro consoles and lists. Oh god

    Right so if 30 is the magic number, what 30 games for each console. I'm firing suggestions based on nothing other than my own nostalgia, or hearing them mentioned loads on these pages, and then sometimes a google to check my memory worked

    I've split these out into their own threads to make it a little easier to track

    8 Bit stuff

    16 Bit stuff (cartridges and sprites anyway)

    Fuck it I'm knackered, we'll pin these down to 30 on each console. Should really add PS1 in there as well at some point, then DC,GC,PS2. Then 3D print a mini variant of each, with all relevant games in it

  • I recently made a top 30 XBLA list for my own amusement, can I put that in?
  • I'll give this some thought later.

    Sensible Soccer, Madden 92 and Micro Machines would be in my Megadrive list without fail.

    I had the same initial thought after watching daftmike video. Just figured that thirty titles might encompass almost the whole back catalogue

    Any other lists welcome, although might try to limit multi-platform titles to first or when within a year the obviously best version, for stuff this age I guess that means closest to arcade. Can't believe I left Micro Machines out. I think I preferred SNES sensi though as it had an indoor variant

    Yep. Rocket Knight Adventures and Toejam and Earl too. Xenon 2 possibly. Cocko's list covers most of the essentials though.
  • The Snes list needs about 60 slots.

    These aren't exhaustive, just figured we'd callaboratively pin these guys down to 30 games each, hopefully with no duplicates

    If we really need a justification then rom packs are huge and full of shit, might be nice to pin down a proper essentials list

  • Dragon's Fury/Devil Crash should be on any Mega Drive list.

    I like this idea, but don't know that it needs to be limited to 30 titles in the final reckoning. We could have a top 30 by all means, but it would be nice to have the runners up too.

    In which case, we should probably cover NES too. And we should have a Master System list.
  • Which version of Tomb Raider would we have - the one where outside of the water looks better from within the water, or the one with the handstand and reflective save crystals?
  • Can't imagine either have aged well.

    In fact, thinking about it, it'd be nice to have an official B&B ROM set somewhere. Something we can all add to and build on, getting the best versions of whichever games and which we can all download at will.

    That's kinda where I was attempting to head here, Though I doubt there'll be enough room in the OP for something as far ranging as I'm now thinking

  • No Shadowrun, alien3, legend of the mystical ninja, rock n roll racing, super tennis, top gear2, zombies ate my nieghbours on the snes?
  • Where is legend of zelda-majora's mask on the n64 list? Shocking omission!

    Also Diddy Kong racing, f-zero x and resident evil 2

Howdy, Stranger!
