    Where the Hell is Flimbo's Quest?? Simple platformer with some of the most satifying cheats ever!!

    Not goin off topic I hope, mods. Still formulating my Top-ten.

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?

    Excellent thread, memory lane here I come!

    This top ten has to be halved between my childhood and adulthood.


    1.Flimbo's Quest, Dated but still Gold!! (the only reason to buy a C64, then and now)

    2. Double Dragon (arcade in Meath St, Those 10p's seemed to last forever!)

    3. Street Fighter 2 (Mega Drive & arcade sort of, before I got it from Santa, me & bro went to Nassau St game shop, can't remember name, in December 1993 every day after school to play it for free)

    4. Golden Axe (Megadrive,what can I say weird; XENAesque Porn Star, He-man and Gimli all in the one game)

    5. Echo the dolphin (Megadrive, had a sandbox-type feel to it that was only repeated ten years later).

    .....still working on my adulthood favourites.

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?

    In no order:

    Desert Combat [Bf1942 mod]

    Dues Ex

    Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike

    Half Life

    Half life 2

    Final Fantasy 7

    Super Street Fighter 4

    Hitman [love the series, hard to pick a single one]

    Unreal Tournament

    Sonic 2

    [I imagine if I could put a series of games as one, I'd have the Mass Effect series, as single games, no where near my top 10. As a trilogy though I could picture it being well in there, if the 3rd one is as good as I hope]

    Have yet to be blown away by any of the newest generation of console games, though Assassin's Creed II is v.close to being in this list. Hopefully Brotherhood will sort that out.

    Now hurry and release Elder Scrolls V Bethesda! You've almost got it exactly right...
