I agree it isn't the same, but if you play emulators with a controller (even a xbox 360 or playstation 3 one for example) it increases the enjoyment dramatically. And when you consider the amount of time and money it costs to find the old systems and the good games, there's just no beating the free emulators and roms that are out there imo.Not a fan of emulators, it just isn't the same. I can only play FPS's on computers besides one other game I'm not going to mention.Get yourself an emulator.

I don't know if Bioshock is THE best game of the last decade because "best" is subjective. I know it's one of them though.
And it figures that Larryboy is "meh" about it.

Arcade machine or console?

This personally for me, was the ultimate Zelda. The story, the areas, the weapons, the dungeons, THE MUSIC! All were so incredibly detailed for a SNES game. The final battle was also cool. Something you didn't see at the time. I think this is a steal in the 3rd round.

You're right on the number of copies - that was a different game that I won't spotlight. I knew it was one of the two. Regardless, ET was a huge part of the collapse and was a financial disaster. Just pulling stuff off of Wikipedia...larry_boy_44 said:Steve Tasker said:that wasn't ET...

Easily top 5 for me, maybe not #1. But again, my real gaming expertise is sports games, platformers, and linear FPS/3PS games....I've played and beaten only 1 true RPG ever, IIRC, and I know Larry is big into RPGs. It makes sense that he'd be "meh" about it, but IMO, it's a superb game. I know I'm not the "Best Story" judge, but it's got the single best storyline in any video game I've ever played.Andy Dufresne said:I don't know if Bioshock is THE best game of the last decade because "best" is subjective.

I don't think so. It's a straight port. If it was a different game entirely, then I'd say yes.

I don't see why it would be cheating. It's a topic viewable to all of us.
Note: if any participants or judges want me to remove the link, I'll delete this post.

Has anyone else noticed a significant price increase in old-school games and game systems on eBay in the last few years?

Can't say, many of them will be picked in this draft and a few others were my favorites at friends houses.

Dreamcasts go for around $100. I remember when you could get one for $10. ($100 new, btw. Thinkgeek sometimes gets them in stock. There are still new games produced for the Dreamcast.)Dreamcast bundle for sale next month.Everything nostalgic has had a price increase.

Here was a list of the Top 5 New Games for Old Consoles for 2010 (video). I highly doubt any of these games are on anyone's list. If they are, I apologize. If anyone has played any of these games, let us know your impressions.Dreamcasts go for around $100. I remember when you could get one for $10. ($100 new, btw. Thinkgeek sometimes gets them in stock.

I'm just very much not into the FPS/3PS games... like I have some ideas for what i'm going to draft for that category as I've played some of them... I'm just overall very, very meh about the entire genre...I don't know why, I just couldn't ever get into them...Easily top 5 for me, maybe not #1. But again, my real gaming expertise is sports games, platformers, and linear FPS/3PS games....I've played and beaten only 1 true RPG ever, IIRC, and I know Larry is big into RPGs.

3.07 Best Multiplier- Starcraft (pc)
"Nothing can compare to multiplier Starcraft simply because it is by far one of the most deepest and complex games of all time. With endless possible strategies for three different races, and a use for every unit of each race, Starcraft never ceases to amaze. Shooters may require some strategy and quick aiming, but they're little compared to the brainpower needed in Starcraft. EverQuest needs little thinking, only copious amounts of time to master, but Starcraft requires time, dedication, and ceaseless practice. Nothing matches it."

3.08 - super Mario world, snes, 4th generation
Right behind smbIII for me

"The last Metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace…"
3.09 Super Metroid, 4th Generation, SNES 1994
The third of the three series that I play over and over yearly and never tire of it. Super Metroid fixes nearly every annoyance from the first Metroid, while retaining the classic run-and-gun gameplay that made the original a standout. The biggest additions are the world map that helps immensely in the backtrack-quests that are necessary to complete the game, and the ability to save your game at certain points, affording the ability to turn off the game without losing all your progress without using the (urgh!) password system. Once again, the story has Samus Aran fighting space pirates to reach the ultimate goal of defeating the leader of the Space Pirates and the brains behind the operation.
The ending is one of the best in gaming history.
Game Trailer
edit: After thinking about it, technically Metroid 2 for the Gameboy added the save feature, so I guess that shouldn't count. But it takes nothing from the game.

Ahead of SMB3 for me. I think it was the perfect Super Mario Bros game. Good pick.

I like SMW better also, but what SMB3 did for gaming was the determining factor for me.Oh ya, I hate you for the 3.09.

Yep, you should make a "Who's Hottest" of the 10 best Cosplay chicks all as different characters.

Definitely....I just thought it'd be a good idea to google "Zero Suit Samus" after she was drafted, and I've stumbled into a nerd goldmine.

While we're waiting, maybe we can talk about the most influential video game hardware, whether it be a console or a peripheral. It could be an on-going discussion in between picks and discussing games. What do ya say? Or should we hold off on that until Monday too?
