I have already voted but can I just say I love these lists. So many games I had forgotten, but loved. This really tells me loads about people, some fantastic choices but I must admit I am slighty annoyed by the small number of Goldeneye votes!

Shadow of the Beast (Amiga)
Download (PC Engine)
Sonic 2 (Megadrive)
Fatal Fury 2 (Neo Geo)

Some people have an obsession with Golden Fighter, dropping references here and there.

Well, this is the toughest question of all time...

1) Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn)
2) Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (MegaDrive)
3) NiGHTS into Dreams (Saturn)
4) Resident Evil 2 (Multiformat)
5) Super Mario World (SNES)

I have to say, I dispute that Dreamcast, and even PlayStation really fits under the 'retro' banner... feels strange listing them in a top 5 retro game list. But obviously there's no definition or anything, so I've just took it as you said it

[wheelaa]

1. Bare Knuckle 2 (md)
2. Snow Bros (pcb/md)
3. R-Type (pcb/pce)
4. Wonderboy the Dragon's Trap (sms/gg/pce)
5= Gunstar Heroes (md) and Perfect dark (n64)

I just want to say a bigs thanks so far for all the great responses I've received. I can appreciate that limiting you to only five choices, but this thing is going to be a real bitch to sort out. Since yesterday I've recorded over 170 votes on various forums and via email. That's a hell of a lot of games to go through already, doubling that figure would probably make me go insane.

Anyway, keep those votes coming guys, it's going great.

That will teach you for trying to do "something lazy"

[Fastware]

1. The Newzealand Story (Arc)
2. Street Fighter II (arc)
3. Tetris (GB)
4. R-Type (arc)
5. Sonic 2 (MD)

[Combination]

• Super Castlevania IV
• Super Metroid
• Zelda: A Link to the Past
• Super Mario World
• StarCraft

Damn, that was a toughie
