You sure your not thinking of Gun RangerX? In my book a Bangaioh/Target Earth style game would never be considered a shmup. No Auto scroll or automatically attacking enemies no dice.LGB wrote:Xenocide Files calls it a shmup.Dale wrote:Without Shmups.

This is near impossible (10 isn't enough scope) but a good thread nonetheless so I'll have a go. In no particular order:
Assault Suits Valken (SFC)
Streets of Rage 2 (MD)
Secret of Mana (SFC)
Super Mario World (SFC)
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past (SFC)
Aliens (Arcade)
King of Fighters 98 (Arcade)
Ketsui (Arcade)
Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening (GB)
Castlevania IV (SFC)
And my god, that's an impossible list to make, cos there's a gazillion others too. Funny how the really nostalgic ones that remind you of a happy time and place are the fastest to leap to memory though.

I doubt that would even make most people's top 10 beat 'em ups list. Not that I'm a beat 'em up connoisseur or anything.
(And crap, I forgot Rocket Knight Adventures - too many to choose from!)

It is extremely hard to choose so few games among so many deserving choices. Not sure this is totally accurate, but the top three are definitely in their right places.
Excluding shmups:
10. The Legend of Zelda (NES)
9. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PSX)
8. Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike (ARC)
7. Odin Sphere (PS2)
6. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (NDS)
5. Final Fantasy IV (SNES)
4. Super Metroid (SNES)
3. Doukutsu Monogatari (PC/FREEWARE)
2. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
1. Final Fantasy VI (SNES)

Sorry if I sounded harsh. I just find it odd that their's always a set few games that are considered great. I just pick them as I see them.Davey wrote:...as indicated by your signature.Dale wrote:Sorry that my opinion doesn't match the general consensus.
It's not a terrible game or anything, it just seems like an odd choice for the top 10 2D games ever. I haven't played it in ages, but what I remember most are those god-awful platform sections.
The plateforming portions are what make it really challenging, Supreme master up till the final boss would be a cake walk without those up till the final boss(BTW I 1lC it on SM recently). I look at that as hard but fair, unlike the first level of BattleToads in Battlemaniacs. Which is the easiest level but the most unfair. I don't mind dying when I'm not fast enough or precise enough, but weird collision gets me steamed.

River City Ransom (NES)
Tetris (NES/GB)

Final Fantasy 6 (SNES)
Chrono Trigger (SNES)
Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES)

It's so hard to pick just 10 games considering most of the best games ever made are in 2D.

I just remember playing DD2: TR with a friend relentlessly on the NES (until his Mum came in at 4am telling us to go to sleep.)
It was pretty inventive (kicking people out of that Helicopter door was great), and it got super challenging. The disappearing platform routine toward the end was a killer, but I just remember the difficulty spike was nutty when you had to fight silver versions of yourselves (I think?) and then all the bosses.
Fantastic 2 player game.

No, take a look yourself. That was actually how I discovered it:Dale wrote:You sure your not thinking of Gun RangerX? In my book a Bangaioh/Target Earth style game would never be considered a shmup. No Auto scroll or automatically attacking enemies no dice.
Key shooters on the Megadrive must include the seminal Thunderforce series, Aeroblasters and Ranger X, and to a lesser extent, Steel Empire, Gynoug and Hellfire.
