  1. NES - Hidden Gems 55

    Hello All,
    I have compiled a playlist of 55 Nes Hidden Gems from 30 different sources (web and YouTube), so essentially this should be close to a 'best of the best' hidden gems list, or at least widely agreed to have qualitative value. Of course,  ultimately this purely a subjective matter, as everyone's tastes will vary.
     
    Method
    Review source and games appearing in list counts as one 'vote'. Repeat 30 times for each list Total all votes Remove all games that only have one vote Selection Criteria
    Licensed games only US and European releases only (famicom may come later) Games only - no quiz, etc. Games must have more than 1 'vote' Games list!

  3. Nintendo Entertainment System - Best of 20 / 50 / 100

    Hey Folks,
    In conjunction with the project I'm working on, I have compiled three "best of" lists for the Nintendo Entertainment System. I have included a top 20, 50, and a 100.
    Here's a link to the explanation of the project I've been working on. It includes all Nintendo home consoles. More playlists to follow. Hope this helps some of us with large collections or are new to retro gaming.
    Let me know what you think.
    UPDATE : I've added three more playlists: Top 10% (73 games), Top 20% (143 games), and Top 25% (180) games.

  13. 2D Arcade Fighting Games

    Hi guys, 
    I created a playlist of 2D arcade fighting games and thought I'd share it. This is not an exhaustive list. There are 133 games from MAME, Atomiswave, and Naomi. You will need the MAME and Demul emulators installed.
    All the Neo Geo and Capcom ones are included. I was hoping the community could collaborate on this one as there are plenty games missing I'm sure, but at least this initial list will get the ball rolling on a bigger list of games.

  17. NES Classic Edition

    Hi guys,
    I created a playlist for the NES Classic Edition over the weekend and thought I'd share it with the community in case anyone was interested in it. It contains all 30 games and uses the No-Intro rom naming convention.
    I've also included a logo:

  18. Top NES Games

    The definitive top NES games. Included is four files so you can use whichever works for you: Top 4, 10, 16, and 29. If you want best 65, there's another file on the forum by Jason Carr. I'd recommend the top 4 or top 10
     
    All the top games lists seem opinionated so I decided to make a list that would just be the games most people agree belong on such a list without anyone's personal idiosyncrasies (If this was my personal list you'd see Solar Jetman, but that's a niche game). 
     
    In case anyone cares, this was my process. First I looked through 14 Top nes lists, and made a list of games that were in most of them. I then gave them point values based on how many lists they were in and how high in those lists, and deleted those with low scores. Next, I compared each of the games to each other (looking at each list that two games are in and seeing which is higher than the other the majority of the time). I then ordered them based on that and deleted the bottom ones (sorry Duck Hunt, you're always at the bottom of the list). At this point, I had 29 games and decided to go with that number rather than delete four games just for the sake of having a round number (though I'm not sure that the bottom three games belong, they sort of teetered on the edge of being included or dropped). I split them into groups based on where there was a decent drop from one game to the next, though this was much more apparent in tier 1->2->3 than 3->4. 
     
    Here's the list if you want to see it before downloading the xml:
     
    Tier 1:
    1 Super Mario Bros. 3
    2 The Legend of Zelda
    3 Mega Man 2
    4 Metroid
     
    Tier 2:
    5 Super Mario Bros.
    6 Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
    7 Bionic Commando
    8 Contra
    9 (Mike Tyson's) Punch-Out!!
    10 Final Fantasy
     
    Tier 3:
    11 Super Mario Bros. 2
    12 Kirby's Adventure
    13 Tetris (preferably tengen)
    14 River City Ransom
    15 Crystalis
    16 Ninja Gaiden
     
    Tier 4:
    17 Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
    18 Castlevania
    19 Mega Man 3
    20 Bubble Bobble
    21 Blaster Master
    22 Tecmo Super Bowl
    23 Dragon Warrior III
    24 DuckTales
    25 Excitebike
    26 Kid Icarus
    Tier 4.5
    27 Metal Gear
    28 R.C. Pro-Am
    29 Dragon Warrior
     
    Notes:
    Although you'd think that this method would miss out on games in a series thanks to different lists having different entries, I found that this was not the case. Even pooling games from a series that no single entry made it did not make any series make it. At best you got something like Duck Hunt, a game at the bottom of every list.
    That being said, I did pool the nintendo version of tetris with the tengen version. Most lists had only one, but no list specified nintendo over tengen and some did vice versa, so I counted nintendo tetris as tengen tetris (except for one list that had both)
    Personal note, do not play the gba version of Super Mario Bros 3. Play either the NES or SNES version. The GBA version might have some extra features, but restarting from the level rather than the world ruins the game
    Also, although it's on the list, don't play the nes version of Metal Gear. Play either the msx2 version or the slightly updated port included in the ps2 Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence disk 2 and the xbox 360, ps3, and psvita Metal Gear Solid 3 HD edition
     
    That's all, enjoy!

  21. Lordmonkus' Best of 2600 List

    This my personal Best of 2600 list.
    Some of these games are part of my list because I grew up playing them, others are just there because they are classics but the vast majority are there because they are actually still fun to play today. I tried not to put many arcade ports on here but there is a couple if they were actually really good ports. There are a couple of improvement hacked roms which are homebrews and not hacks that you would need to get and they are freely available over on http://atariage.com/index.php they are not copyright protected so there is no worry about that.
    Space Rocks thread and download http://atariage.com/forums/topic/197315-space-rocks-2600
    Pac-Man (8K) post and download http://atariage.com/forums/topic/229152-new-pacman-for-atari-2600/page-37#entry3298369
    Here is the list of games in the playlist file and a short blurb about it:
    Adventure - Not really a favourite of mine but it is a classic 2600 game.
    Atlantis - Sort a Missile Command clone but different enough and unique.
    Barnstorming - Fly through barns, what other games offer this ?
    Beamrider - Another game that isn't really a favourite of mine but many people like it so it's here.
    Berzerk - Arcade port but really well done.
    Boxing (Activision) - This game is a great 2 player vs game, really fun button mashing action.
    Chopper Command - Horizontal shooter Defender clone but by Activision so you know it's good.
    Communist Mutants From Space - That name alone makes it great but it is a very good Space Invaders clone.
    Cosmic Ark - Shoot asteroids and abduct people, how can you go wrong ?
    Dark Chambers - Closest thing to Gauntlet on the 2600.
    Demon Attack - Probably the best Space Invaders clone similar to Phoenix but it's an Imagic game and looks great.
    Dolphin - It's like Ecco the Dolphin only it's on the 2600.
    Dragonfire - Steal treasure from a dragon, nothing else needs to be said.
    DragonStomper - Insane RPG game for its time, try it out.
    Enduro - Awesome racing game, Outrun before Outrun.
    Frostbite - Mix of Q-Bert meets Frogger but with a unique twist, fun game.
    H.E.R.O - It's freaking H.E.R.O. arguably the best game on the system.
    Keystone Kapers - Fun game I played for many hours as a kid.
    Laser Blast - Fun Space Invaders in reverse, you play the invader destroying the base.
    Official Frogger - This was made by Starpath for the Super Charger addon. It looks great, you have to see it in comparison to the Parker Bros version.
    Pac-Man (8K homebrew) - This one you need to get from Atariage forums. This is how Pac-Man should have been on the system.
    Pengo - Fun puzzle game.
    Phoenix - Space Invaders clone but I played it a lot as a kid so it's on here.
    Pitfall and Pitfall II - 'Nuff said.
    River Raid - Also 'nuff said, play it if you never played it.
    Sea Quest - Fun underwater horizontal shooter.
    Solaris - Late release for the system, looks great and is a lot of fun.
    Space Rocks - This is another Atariage homebrew and is the best version of Asteroids on the 2600. The original Asteroids is left off because of this version.
    Spider Fighter - Another Activision games and great fast paced shooter.
    Stampede - Rope cows, how many games has this ? A lot of fun and played it a lot as a kid.
    Starmaster - First person space combat and another Activision game.
    Survival Island - Another Starpath Super Charger addon game, swim to the island without getting eaten.
    Tutankham - Raid tombs and steal treasure.
    Yars Revenge - System exclusive and a classic.

  23. Metal Slug Playlists [WIP]

    Hello everyone, I have been trying to get these lists completed for a while now.  I had originally posted here in the collection section before the Playlist function was available.  But didn't have everything completed as far as accurate metadata and the games all being in the Games Database.  I have made 3 playlists for Metal Slug as some may not want more than the basic game list for what is out there.  
    The first playlist is called:
    Metal Slug Basic
    The second is called:
    Metal Slug Complete
    The third is called:
    Metal Slug Complete +
    I also have been trying to in my spare time (which I don't have a lot of) come up with a worthy playlist image and playlist theme for Metal Slug.  If someone else wanted to, that would be OK and great.
    The Metal Slug Complete + is a work in progress at the moment and will have updates, especially when I am able to add games to the Games DB that currently do not have a approved platform.

  24. SHMUPS

    1296 SHMUPS!  Split playlists for arcade and consoles.
     
    Download the .xml files and place them in your LaunchBox\Data\Playlists directory.
    Here's how many games are in each playlist:
    SHMUPS (Arcade):           501*
    SHMUPS (Dreamcast)        24
    SHMUPS (Game Gear) :       9
    SHMUPS (GB/GBC) :           42
    SHMUPS (GBA):                   21
    SHMUPS (Genesis) :           70 (including Sega CD and 32x games)
    SHMUPS (MSX):                144**
    SHMUPS (Naomi):              18
    SHMUPS (NES):                 132 (including Famicom and Famicom Disk games)
    SHMUPS (PS1):                    69
    SHMUPS (PS2):                    34
    SHMUPS (PSP):                    24
    SHMUPS (Saturn)                54
    SHMUPS (SMS):                   20
    SHMUPS (SNES):                 39 
    SHMUPS (Turbo Grafx):     99 (including Turbo CD/PC Engine/PC Engine CD/SuperGrafx games)
    SHMUPS (All-in-one)      1296
    *2 games in the Arcade list, 'Pilot Kids' and 'Zero Gunner', will require a Sega Model 2 emulator for them to work.  These two games are made by Psikyo...quality SHMUPS.
    **The MSX list still needs a bit of work, there are a few 3D/rail shooters that need to be edited out.  A future update will probably have less games in the list.
    What these playlists have:
    2D and 2.5D horizontal and vertical SHMUPS
    Some classic fixed screen SHMUPS (Space Invaders, Galaga, Asteroids, etc.)
    mostly No Clones  (These lists were handpicked. Lots of 'Same game, different name' games were filtered out)
    No Run 'N Gun style games (Contra, Metal Slug, Turrican, etc.), but some hybrid games did make it on here.
    No 3D Shooters (Afterburner, Galaxy Force II, Space Harrier, etc.)

  25. Beat 'Em Ups

    266 Beat 'Em Ups (Split playlists for MAME and Consoles)
     
    The .xml files:
    Beat Em Ups (Arcade):         133 Games for MAME
    Beat Em Ups (NES):                 28 Games (17 NES + 2 Famicom)
    Beat Em Ups (SNES):               60 Games (37 SNES + 18 Super Famicom)
    Beat Em Ups (Genesis):          45 Games (40 Genesis/Megadrive + 5 Sega CD)
    Beat Em Ups (Turbo  Grafx): 22 Games
    Download the .xml files and place them in your LaunchBox\Data\Playlists directory.
     
    Issues with Metadata and Launchbox IDs:
    'Avengers' (Arcade) is a vertical scrolling beat 'em up made by Capcom with no Launchbox ID.  Launchbox will default the Metadata and Media to 'Avengers In Galactic Storm'.  That is the wrong game.  The Mame rom filename is 'Avengers'.  Do not attach any Metadata,  title it exactly as 'Avengers' in the Edit Game window in Launchbox, and Emumovies should give you the proper media (although you may have to surf around to get a clear logo).
    There's an arcade prototype game called 'Judge Dredd' made by Midway. It is a beat 'em up and has no launchbox ID.  This is confusing because there is a light gun game called 'Judge Dredd' made by Acclaim. The Mame rom file is 'jdreddp'.  Title it as 'jdreddp' in Launchbox, and Emumovies will give you the media for it. Hit ok and edit it again if you want to change the title without losing the media.  Just don't title it as 'Judge Dredd' or it will get mixed up with the other game.  I named it 'Judge Dredd Prototype'.
    For the SNES list I added the Rushing Beat Series: 'Rushing Beat', 'Rushing Beat Ran: Fukusei Toshi', and 'Rushing Beat Shura'.  These are the Japanese but superior versions of Rival Turf, Brawl Brothers and The Peace Keepers, respectively.  No metadata for the Japanese versions and I'm still looking for some of the media.
    'UFO Kamen Yakisoban' for the Super Famicom also has no launchbox ID, but there is media for it on Emumovies as long as it is titled exactly like I have it here.

    It took about a week and a lot of research to put these lists together and I tried very hard to get every Beat 'Em Up for each platform.  But,  I was pretty strict about what made it on the lists.  There aren't any one-on-one 'Fighters' in these lists, that's a whole other category.  I also kept away from 'Hack n Slash' games which can be categorized as Action/Platformers.
    Please let me know if there are any games that should be on these lists.  I'm sure I missed a few.
