Lets Play a Little game of Keep or Destroy.

[Jonboy1977]

Its simple, I list 6 games I like. The next person has to choose to destroy 3 games and keep 3 games.

He then replaces the 3 destroyed games with 3 of hsi favourites. The aim is to see which game survives the longest. Give reasons for destroying the games if you want.

1 UN Squadron - SNES
2 Castle of illusion Starring mickey mouse - Megadrive
3 Shinobi - Master System
4 Probotector - NES
5 Sega Rally - Saturn
6 Mariokart 64 - N64

[noobish hat]

Do I have to destroy 3? I only want to destroy Mario Kart 64 for its crappy handling, poor shell accuracy, and HORRENDOUS enemy AI which makes all the other racers band together meaning if you make one mistake the entire pack will over take you in the same second.

[markopoloman]

I'll play....


DESTROY:
Probotector - NES (must admit - not a clue what it is!)
Mariokart 64 - N64 ( I DETEST Mariokart games. Horrible controls, Stupid shells. It is not a racing game - it's a pile of steaming POO!)
UN Squadron - SNES (never was a big fan of this. The 8bit ports were a bit pants too.)


1 Castle of illusion Starring mickey mouse - Megadrive
2 Shinobi - Master System
3 Sega Rally - Saturn

I'll add....

4 IK+ - C64
5 SuperFrog - Amiga
6 Doom II - PC

[theantmeister]

Destroy:
Sega Rally - I never got on with the handling.
Super Frog - I know he's super, but he runs WAY too fast for his own good!
Shinobi - Just because I haven't played it and I'm guessing it has crappy box art.

Add:
Super Mario World (SNES) - bringing out the big guns early!
TIE Fighter (PC) - probably the best space fighter game ever made.
James Pond Robocod (MD) - great, catchy, music and good platforming fun.

Here's the list:

1 Castle of illusion Starring mickey mouse - Megadrive
2 TIE Fighter - PC
3 James Pond Robocod - Megadrive
4 IK+ - C64
5 Super Mario World - SNES
6 Doom II - PC.

I suggest the next respondent puts a quick post up to reserve their spot to avoid clashes, then edits it later...

Destroy
James Pond Robocod - Can't have 2 MD platformers in the list
World Cup Carnival - It's a speccy game and it's rubbish
Populous - Takes up too much time to play

Revised list

[Roo]

Destroy:
IK+ - C64 - Never seen the appeal. Usurped billions of times, even at the time!

Smash TV - Arcade - Good, mindless fun, but ultimately dispensable.

Warlords - Atari 2600 - Again, great game, but not better than the three that survive, oh no!
