Gamestm Lists

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Hi everyone, it's been ages since I've been in these forums. Suddenly there's that new gizmo with the built-in things that everyone's after, people are talking about a Craiginator or something (???) and Daclassicgamingmaster's finally got a Gamate. Good for him!

Anyway, I was just hoping that someone, anyone would be able to help fulfill my list fetish needs by referring to back issues of Retro Gamer (UK), and providing me with their:

25 Greatest Platformers Of All Time Ever (etc)

and their

25 Greatest Run & Gunners In The World Ever.

Please?

Thank you very much Shifty.

Any lists of any sort will do, so long as they're not alphabetical. They don't count.

25 Greatest Run & Gunners In The World Ever.

I got the magazine, but I cannot find it anymore. I just can tell you that Nr. 1 was not Gunstar Heroes (only rank 3). It was also a game by Treasure, a Japan only 3d N64 game called Sin & Punishment.

I say here here for Sin and Punishment getting best run and gun game in GamesTM. Absolutely brilliant game. Got it on my Wii. Hopefully treasure will se fit to make a sequel to it for the Wii.

 

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Sin & Punishment, eh?
Nice coincidence there, I just downloaded the ROM for that yesterday, haven't gotten round to playing it yet though. My pad won't work with emulators on my new laptop

Still, the list would still be nice see. Please to anyone?
Blab. I like lists.

Aha! It wasn't in GamesTM after all, it was in Retro Gamer (the one with Doom on the cover). Here's the list for anyone who cares:

25-Rendering Ranger: R2 (SNES)

24-Rex (ZX)

23-Shinobi (Arcade)

22-NARC (Arcade)

21-Rolling Thunder 2 (Arcade)

20-Alien 3 (MD)

19-Nam-1975 (Neo Geo)

18-The Chaos Engine (Amiga)

17-Sunset Riders (Arcade)

16-Mercs (Arcade)

15-Rapid Reload aka Gunners Heaven (PSX)

14-Elevator Action Returns (Arcade)

13-Jet Force Gemini (N64)

12-Alien Breed (Amiga)

11-SmashTV (Arcade)

10-Midnight Resistance (Arcade)

9-MDK (PC)

8-Turrican II (Amiga)

7-Ikari Warriors (Arcade)

6-Shock Troopers (Neo Geo)

5-Metal Slug (Arcade)

4-Contra III (SNES)

3-Gunstar Heroes (MD)

2-Robotron 2084 (Arcade)

1-Sin & Punishment (N64)


Quite a nice list if you ask me. Only six that I haven't played, nothing a good emulator won't fix. Kinda puzzled about MDK though, I played that on the Dreamcast, didn't really bring Metal Slug to mind. But what would I know?
