Bubble Bobble and R Type are easy choices, then Super Hang On. It isn't my favourite Sega racer by a long way, but I'm not a massive fan of the other three.
then Super Hang On. It isn't my favourite Sega racer by a long way,
All the other classic Sega racers will be featured in forthcoming rounds. I personally think Super Hang-On is still one of Sega's most playable racers, so it's one I go back to quite often. I really like the vibrant visuals, catchy music, and smooth gameplay.
Bubble Bobble & R-Type are winning the contest so far.
Final Fight R-Type and Pang. If it was Contra III I would have got rid of R-Type
I particularly love Pang and was playing it at the weekend on the PAPK3 through CPS I think although it was on the Neo Geo ROM list. It was Pang 3 it must have been. So simple yet fiendishly addictive. Good memories of the Amiga port by Ocean France as well.
Does anyone know if Retro Gamer has done a feature on the history of Ocean France actually?
If it was Contra III I would have got rid of R-Type
All the Contra games will appear, but this time it's the original that was known as 'Gryzor' in the UK. Contra III is my favourite game in the series, but I still enjoy the first one. The NES version is really good.

I think Pang 3 is running on a Capcom board. I have played a Neo Geo version, but I think it had really horrible rendered graphics.

Pang, Toki, Liquid Kids, and Snow Bros. Ocean France managed to use the Amiga tech properly and deliver arcade ports that not only looked good but also played well. I'm not sure if Retro Gamer has done a feature on them, but I think they've mentioned how good some of their ports were.
Bubble Bobble, R-Type and Pang. We haven't had that combination yet. Three great games.
Yeah, those three are all great, but I've chosen:
Final Fight: There's still something special about the whole design that keeps me coming back for more. Such a brilliant creation. Pang: I remember loving it - across a range of systems - back in the day. It's always fun to go back to. Super Hang-On: The slick, colourful graphics still impress, the music is pumping, and it plays really well.
Looks like there's three clear contenders for the title, but if more people vote for Super Hang-On that could change. I wouldn't be surprised if Bubble Bobble surges into the lead if there's more voting.
