What was your favourite side scrolling beat 'em up? Q3. Do you have any future topic ideas?

It's funny to think that this was essentially the first game I owned. My family got a Sega Genesis a few years after it was relevant, and it came with the Sega 6-Pak. It came with Sonic 1, Super Hang-On, Columns, and Revenge of Shinobi, but as the younger of two kids, a lot of my time was spent playing second controller on Streets of Rage and Golden Axe. Streets of Rage has always held a special place in my heart, but Golden Axe has largely faded from memory.

Best Tyris
Worst Ax Q1. Did you frequent arcades much back in the early 90's? Street Fighter II, Pit Fighter, OutRun, Mad Dog McRee... I'll be blown away if anyone here knows Mad Dog McRee. - I know and played some of those in the arcade back in the day. Not Mad Dog McRee tho. Q2. What was your favourite side scrolling beat 'em up? -Street of Rage Q3. Do you have any future topic ideas? I have about 20 ideas on my list, but my taste and experience in games doesn't seem to align with the boards... I'm thinking about calling it quits. - Not off the top of my head --- FC: SW-2565-5813-5018. 2DS-3239-3621-4530. Ign/TSV. UM Bruno/1041. Sun Amy/1856. X Kevin/1740. AS Krystal/1520.

best: tyris yellowwolley posted... Best Tyris Q1. Yes, as much as my parents would allow, and for as many quarters as I could mooch...which usually meant I just ended up watching others play. Q2. Probably TMNT. Maybe The Simpsons. Q3. Not specifically, but I wouldn't think it'd be hard to isolate well-played games and find something about them that's noteworthy. (Best Diablo 2 class, best LTTP dungeon, best Hollow Knight boss, etc.) You've definitely been mixing up the topic ideas, though. What is it about the board that you feel aligns poorly? --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Worst: Gilius Thunderhead (Dwarf) Bonus Discussion Topics Q1. Did you frequent arcades much back in the early 90's? Street Fighter II, Pit Fighter, OutRun, Mad Dog McRee... I'll be blown away if anyone here knows Mad Dog McRee. No, not really. If I did it would be things like Time Crisis etc Q2. What was your favourite side scrolling beat 'em up? Streets of Rage 2 without a doubt Q3. Do you have any future topic ideas? I have about 20 ideas on my list, but my taste and experience in games doesn't seem to align with the boards... I'm thinking about calling it quits. I always try to think of ones when I join but can never put my finger on a decent one. I can understand your reasoning for wanting to stop but I for one will miss these topics. It's a great idea and I have enjoyed reading through people's responses etc, even if I have not played the game in question --- Well done to azuarc for finishing 67 places above me in the 2020 GOTD Guru Contest! ...

Worst: Ax Q1. Did you frequent arcades much back in the early 90's? Street Fighter II, Pit Fighter, OutRun, Mad Dog McRee... I'll be blown away if anyone here knows Mad Dog McRee. - I went a few times, but not very often. Usually it was just whatever was at the movie theater. Q2. What was your favourite side scrolling beat 'em up? - Double Dragon II, NES version. Q3. Do you have any future topic ideas? I have about 20 ideas on my list, but my taste and experience in games doesn't seem to align with the boards...

@azuarc
Ummm... Just the low vote totals on games I adore kinda reflect that. I'm really big on Arcade games, PC games from the 80s and 90s. Sega Consoles. Nintendo, of course. PS1 stuff. Plus a lot of hit RPGs released in North America never made it to Australia. Super Mario RPG for example. Hence, my shock and horror when it beat Street Fighter II in the best game contest. I don't play much new stuff at all. The only current gen games I played through and through for hours and hours were FF7R and a whole bunch of PS4 VR stuff. Also, thanks to everyone else for your opinions and suggestions! I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the series. Much appreciated. Even if it's just for the little things and small talk. --- ...

Best: Gilius
Worst: Ax 1. All the time. After school. Weekends. If something new arrived, the crowds that would swarm around were unbelievable. Mortal Kombat II... I distinctly remember it was impossible to get anywhere near it when it first came out. 2. Hmm... I'll have to go with Double Dragon. I think I played that the most. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Best: Gilius Thunderhead
Worst: Tyris Flare 1. Not so much arcade, but our local shopping centre always had a few machines standing around. So my mom would go buy groceries, while my brother and I blew our money on Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Golden Axe, Final Fight, etc. 2. Final Fight. Mike Haggar ftw. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Editing to fit topic format.
I have to abstain on this one, 'cuz funnily enough, I never played Golden Axe! (But Dwarf all the way.) A1: Yep! Arcades were a big part of my preteen/teen years, mostly just ones that were in campgrounds my parents frequented. Mostly was big on fighting games in them, got into the Samurai Shodown series especially from them. A2: Dungeons and Dragons: Tower of Doom. Yes, I know there was a second one, and yes, I bought the Chronicles of Mystara to play them again, but this is the one I remember feeding the most quarters to. A3: SpikeSetsFire posted... Also, thanks to everyone else for your opinions and suggestions! I'm still watching out for these topics even if I can't contribute at all! And heck, my suggestion was one of the ones that had a low turnout, but I don't mind. It's refreshing to mix an XBox-huge "Best/Worst Mario 64 level" with a lesser known Best/Worst every so often. --- [The Artist Formerly Known as Earthshaker.] ... Copied to Clipboard!
