Topic: Top 10 retro games

Every forum has a thread for this. What are your top 10 retro games?

I'll get things started:

1) Super Mario World (SNES)

2) Wonderboy 3: The Dragon's Curse (PC Engine)

3) SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millenium (Neo Geo Pocket)

4) Street Fighter Alpha 3 (CPS2)

5) Ufouria (NES)

6) Zelda 3: A Link to the Past (SNES)

7) Super Bomberman 4 (SNES) - I could list all 5 of them, but that wouldn't be fair smile

8) Super Puzzle Fighter 2 (CPS2)

9) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (JAMMA)

10) Snow Bros (JAMMA)

Super Mario World is definately top of the list, the rest are in no particular order.

Notable omissions:

Secret of Mana (SNES)

Super Mario 64 (N64)

Super Mario Land 2 (GB)

Don Doko Don (PC Engine)

King of Fighters 98 (Neo Geo)

SNK vs Capcom Chaos (Neo Geo)

Terranigma (SNES)

Illusion of Time/Gaia (SNES)

& probably a heap of others smile
