Games you would have voted for on that ILE poll if they'd been nominated

I'm sure we could of easily added another hundred games.
Mass Effect
Twisted Metal Black
Ratchet and Clank sequels
etc. etc.

Can't believe nobody nominated Date Ariane.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

- Suikoden I or V, the only reason I nom'd two was because it was better than V only slightly...

- Dwarf Fortress!

- Street Fighter III Third Strike

- MASTER OF ORION 2

- Front Mission

- PAC-MAN C.E.?!

- MGS2 or 3, take yr pick

- IKA-FUCKING-RUGA... wow... Mars Matrix is nom'd but not Ikaruga. Mental.

- jagged alliance 2

- fucking... x-com enemy unknown

i'm sure i can think of more, but that's the top of my head! I dunno if i can find 30 games in there that are in my real-life top 150.

ANY ITERATION OF POKEMON HELLO?!

realizing how much i sound like that dude on every messageboard that i hate right now

Dead Rising
Team Fortress 2
Half Life 2: Episode 2
Virtua Fighter(!)
Contra 3
Chessmaster
Rockstar Table Tennis
Forza 2
PGR 4

Karate Champ http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8280

i think we should all just rock the write-ins!

castlevania: dawn of sorrow, i liked it more than sotn, and probably enough to have put it up there.

i'da possibly voted for a SNES bomberman title, unsure which though.

i wouldn't have voted for Ecco but someone on the other thread mentioned it... fair play to them.

i liked sonic 2 more than 1.

n+!!! so amazingly good it is in my top 30 absolutely, possibly my top 20 or even 10!

I'm shocked to find out that different people like different things.

Sonic 3
Deadly Rooms of Death
Advance Wars
Riven
Photopia
StarTropics
Curse of Monkey Island

so i wrote in...

n+
jagged alliance 2
master of orion 2
x-com ufo defense
ikaruga
pac-man ce
street fighter iii
fire emblem series
street fighter ii

NV are you trying to zing me? i can't tell I'm just bummed about the nomination process denying a bunch of my near-faves.

N is amazing! DROD is amazing. (haha tho both kinda suffer for me from that finishing them was among my proudest achievements and then they brought out more levels, making the game i played & loved seem retroactively incomplete?)

Is dwarf fortress actually enjoyable? It just sounds *so* austere.

Dwarf Fortress is... well, I've been playing it a lot recently, and I don't particularly like roguelikes. It's just really severe getting into the UI. I wouldn't normally tackle that, but I was reading an awesome story about it (google boatmurdered) and decided to attack it... really, it's a lo-fi Sims game with dwarves and crossbows and shit. I don't know why, but I am loving it... even if most of my joy comes from watching the world builder, and picking a place ot make my little home.

Thrust. damn.

i never played n+, but it looks like a DS version is coming out in a couple weeks?

i think it was delayed until july, and furthermore i... well i guess i'll just say i'm sitting on some knowledge that the ds/psp por+s aren't exactly up to the same high standards as the 360 por+.

I think it would be even harder to play on those smaller screens (especially on the ds)

jesus i forgot to nominate Joust or Outzone, I would've put either above my initial nom for RType

Jet Set Fucking Willy!

chaos

which one of you nominated crysis? ;_;

Counter Strike.

and Neverwinter Nights.

^^^^^^^ oh yeah, duh

I don't think Planescape even made my top 30. Neverwinter might've done, but there's something really grindy and on rails about all the Black Isle rpgs. I play 'em, but I don't heart 'em like Morrowind or Eye of the Beholder.

I say NWN more for its modability, toolset, online play, faithfulness to D&D and its staying power rather than for the Offical Campaign that you play right out of the box. This game was fucking built to last like no other.

OK I get that.

Can't believe nobody nommed Mario Teaches Typing.

Psssht, no way. Mavis Beacon forever, baby.

NWN would have made my real Top 30. So would Shining Force II and SFII: Turbo. Others I probably would have voted for:
Alone in the Dark
Adventure Island
Sega Tennis 2K2

I rly wish I had nominated SimCity, it is one of my enduring games. But I had to pick one from each decade and I picked the Sims, and anyway I would've preferred SC4 over SC2000 which would have meant not voting for Oblivion and ARGH.
