@just1opinion: Centipede! Ive seen that one pop up a few times now.
@Homitu: I was tempted to add Sonic and Knuckles instead of Sonic 3.
@Reizlanzer: I totally forgot about Rygar, damn! I should have made a top 100 list haha.
@GTwander: Actraiser is such a great game. I remember getting Actraiser 2 and promptly getting the crap kicked out of me. That was a ridiculously hard game heh.
@Bladestrom: The R-Type series always has a place in my heart. Such great sound and style to that series. I'm also a huge fan of the Raiden Fighter series for the same reasons.
@HoskTheCub: I love Yie-Ar Kung Fu.. but Best fighting game?
@FrodoFragins: I don't remember Super PunchOut! in the arcade. I had it on snes though and it rocks.
@Unlight: I feel your pain. Luckily, I live in a city that has an amazing arcade that is alive and kicking. As well as a very healthy and active classic gaming and pinball community.
@HoskTheCub: I love Yie-Ar Kung Fu.. but Best fighting game?
Well... it's all subjective and I'm sort of struggling in how to determine what is best since everything is like comparing apples and pears.
Yie Ar Kung Fu has shown that it manages to uphold two basic pillars that is part of being a great game:
1) I finished it (Although failing so many times as a child it was entertaining enough to keep me struggling to see the next fight until I finished it. Games that are longer than they can keep me interested are inherently flawed. Seeing the end is important to me).
2) Surviving the test of time. (Whenever I start the game it is still as fun as the first time I played it. Many of the other games that were fun at their time was it because they pushed the limits in some way, either with graphics, number of moves etc. Yie Ar Kung Fu just has that combination of correct game balance, music, atmosphere and gameplay that makes it immortal even though built with simple tools. If you consider game making to be an art, then Yie Ar Kung Fu is a masterpiece. It is really easy to find a flaw in a game, it is so hard to do in a masterpiece.)
I cant jsut do Video games as other forms of games have made me who I am as a gamer.
I'll start from the begining
1. AD&D 2nd Edition
2. Shadowrun
3. Legend of Zelda
4. Shining in the Darkness (Sega genesis)
continued with Dungeons and Dragons for the next 8 years when I discovered:
5. Magic the Gathering (won my first Mox tourney at Mighty Micks in Nashville when I was stationed at Ft Campbell, from there I went on to make over 14k in winnings either through selling my tourney winnings or cash games, at one point I owned 7 Black lotuses and2-3 sets of the complete power 9) Eventually went to PTNY in 1999 when one of the pros there told me about a new game called ASHERONS CALL. I choose AC over EQ because of the PvP.
6. Asherons Call
7. DAoC (hated the leveling and eventually bought an account to RvR with)
8. back To AC
9. CoH (was fun but mainly a time sink till WoW)
10. WoW
11. Every single well known named WoW clone starting with AoC, LoTRO, WAR, Aion, but always ended back at WoW within 2 months
12. Rift
13 Back at Asherons Call, where I am today, but waiting onSkyrim, Reckoning then GW2. Will be passing on SWToR since ive been burnt on themepark WoW clones every single time.

Seeing some of these old classic games mentioned again really brings back fond memories of those old arcades from the 70s and 80s that just don't exist anymore. Galaga, Joust, Centipede, Afterburner (with full cockpit), Battle Zone, Defender, Zaxxon, Tron, Donkey Kong, Q-Bert, Gauntlet, Qix, Robotron, Hyper Olympics (the pencil trick was my saviour), Pole Position, Spy Hunter, Ms. Pac-Man, Ghosts'n'Goblins, Xevious, Karate Champ (FUUUULL POINT! - half point), Sinistar ... the list is endless. Seeing your initials displayed in the #1 spot for all to see. Knowing that next week you'll have to return and wrest it back from some faceless usurper who'd driven you from your throne. Stealing money from mom's purse once the allowance had run dry -- then getting caught. Good times.
If there was one thing I could pull back from my childhood, it would probably be those old arcades.
mame arcade emulator is your friend
rpg/mmorg history: Dun Darach>Bloodwych>Bards Tale 1-3>Eye of the beholder > Might and Magic 2,3,5 > FFVII> Baldur's Gate 1, 2 > Planescape Torment >Morrowind > WOW > oblivion > LOTR > Guild Wars (1900hrs elementalist) Vanguard. > GW2(1000 elementalist), Wildstar
1) BattleTech (BattleTech Center in Chicago the fully enclosed pods on hydrolics) Playing this at the BattleTech center is an experience every gamer needs to have once in their life. It is unequalled. I remember my times playing BattleTech vividly even though it was back in the day. I STILL have my old BattleTech card lol.

tons of other entertaining games but these were the ones i found / find myself playing over and over again.
Well... it's all subjective and I'm sort of struggling in how to determine what is best since everything is like comparing apples and pears.
Yie Ar Kung Fu has shown that it manages to uphold two basic pillars that is part of being a great game:
1) I finished it (Although failing so many times as a child it was entertaining enough to keep me struggling to see the next fight until I finished it. Games that are longer than they can keep me interested are inherently flawed. Seeing the end is important to me).
2) Surviving the test of time. (Whenever I start the game it is still as fun as the first time I played it. Many of the other games that were fun at their time was it because they pushed the limits in some way, either with graphics, number of moves etc. Yie Ar Kung Fu just has that combination of correct game balance, music, atmosphere and gameplay that makes it immortal even though built with simple tools. If you consider game making to be an art, then Yie Ar Kung Fu is a masterpiece. It is really easy to find a flaw in a game, it is so hard to do in a masterpiece.)

RED - Epic games for me
There are so many other games that were played, however these are the ones that I remember playing and still remember the levels, gameplay, and have the best experiences with.
I seek to find the Perfect MMO, do you have what I seek?
