The top 100 games of TNL *temporarily on hold*

I think I'm going to have to make a whole separate site where people get to nominate 4 games and mark games they don't think should be on the list. That way, we can all nominate the same amount of games to the list, and those with the most strikes against them will be taken off the list. You can vote off as many games as you want, but your vote against a game only counts as one vote. Each person will be notified if a game they have nominated is already there, and they can change their anti-game votes at any time. The site would update ITSELF in real time and I wouldn't have to continue to order and enter these games. :)

I'll get to work on the site in the coming weeks. Should be fun, and because it will be database driven I can do other cool things with it like post screen/box shots and have vote offs for ties that won't fill the forum with a million polls. Thoughts?

For the site, we can set the number of games each person can add at anything. I set the number to 4 initially so the first 10 people that responded didn't make the initial list alone without others being able to. With a site it won't matter as we will be ranking/voting against them. There is a similar site out there that has you saying which of two games is better, but this would be a similar site JUST for TNL users (somehow...).

Or we could make a "Hot or Not" where you rank each game on the list on a 1 to 10 scale to determine the order of all the games that are nominated...

I think you should seriously consider doing at least 7-10 nominations a person. 4 a piece would take 25 people to even reach 100 and that's not counting any removals.

I'd say probably around 7 would be best.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64)
Halflife (Personal Computer)
Shadowrun (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)
and Chrono Trigger (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)

Don't know or care if they've been nominated before or what, I just think they're good enough to be called some of the best. If it were 5 I'd also put Yoshi's Island in there, and if 6 Final Fantasy Tactics, if 7 Super Mario Kart would be there too.

I think 4 is a nice number for Master to choose. This way you have to think about what you slot in instead of simply naming your most treasured memories.

True, true. The game isn't a total loss. But Civ 2 is *perfect*. And the Civ 2 Gold Edition included multiplayer. Civ 3 m/p code is ridiculously poor, even for those of us w/fat pipes. Uh...that didn't come out right...

Master, I can help put together the site and provide Web space for it, if you'd like. Contact me on AIM or via the boards and we can get to work. This sounds like an interesting project.

Here's the pecking order in the 16- bit era.
1. SF2 - how this doesn't make the list is beyond me.Sure it's unplayable now compared to alpha etc. but it was clearly the first game to be truly ahead of it's time. I bought a SNES just for this one game. Not to mention almost everybody I know played the game a lot. This game is a legend.
2. Super Mario Kart - The game is just too fun despite having crappy everything excpet gameplay. Great game design.
3. Herzog Zwei - Awsome strategy game everyone should have played.
4. SOR2 - Exactly how a beatemup should be made. Awsome game!

Pecking order for 32 - bit era

1. VF2 - samething as SF2 except the everyone I know played it part. Plus way more strat , way better character balance, way better graphics etc. VF2 should be number one overall actually.
2. NIGHTS - It has enough votes
3. Sega Rally - Sega's best racing game back then. Which means the best racing game back then.

this gen

1. VF4 EVO
2. VF4
3. Soul Calibur

Everything else is too hard to number. Best gen ever! Sega Rally 2, VOOT, F355, NHL2k4, Virtua Tennis, Shinobi, Halo, PDO, DMC etc. It was too crazy. It's been dying down lately though.

Can I say Ms. Pac-Man 4 times since nobody else has voted it? I'd hate to see a list of the top 100 games with no Ms. Pac-Man on it anywhere...

Wha-? KOTOR this year alone.

And now we've got 3rd-gen XBox games coming...

Fable...Jade Empire...BC...TFLO...

Yays!

the site idea sounds cool. You could have a separate forum for it and everything.
