Jeff's All-Time Favorites

by jeff

They're not always the best games. They're just my favorite for one reason or another. This list isn't in any particular order and I'm going to go for the more obscure stuff first, since no one needs to see a list that says "OH MAN SUPER MARIO WORLD IS AWESOME."

That said, Super Mario World is awesome.

Showing 1-10 of 48 items

Star Raiders

1. Star Raiders

This was the game I thought of when Wing Commander got big. "Oh, they're just making a better Star Raiders."

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

2. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

When it comes to my favorite fighting game of all-time, it's either this, Tekken 2, or SF2T.

Target Earth

3. Target Earth

Hard, but good. I got to a point where I could finish it without cheating, but being invincible made the game a lot more fun.

Neuromancer

4. Neuromancer

Played this on a C64. I remember later hacking my save games to give myself more money, which didn't seem like cheating since it was in the spirit of the game.

Jumpman

5. Jumpman

Those Epyx dudes were so, so talented back in the C64 days. Jumpman and Jumpman Jr. were the games that made me want a C64 in the first place.

Lode Runner

6. Lode Runner

Specifically, the Atari 400/800 or the Apple II versions.

Smash TV

7. Smash TV

I feel like Geometry Wars surpassed it in a couple of ways, but Smash TV is still the world's greatest all-around dual joystick shooter.

Pinball Construction Set

8. Pinball Construction Set

I still have disks and disks full of tables I created or downloaded for PCS. Hope they still work...

Street Fighter II' Turbo: Hyper Fighting

9. Street Fighter II' Turbo: Hyper Fighting

This is the game were my Honda started getting better than my Ken.

Pool of Radiance

10. Pool of Radiance

I don't know that I ever actually finished this game.
