d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Probably my favorite genre growing up. http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=17792&type=mov Spoilers coming up: . . . . . . . . . 10. Batman Returns (SNES) 9. Golden Axe 8. Battletoads 7. Streets of Rage 2 6. River City Ransom 5. Guardian Heros (Saturn) 4. Final Fight 3. Double Dragon 2. The Simpsons 1. Turtles in Time My favorite would be #7...Streets of Rage 2 was and always will be one of my favorite games ever. In my opinion it's the best game on the list. Double Dragon 2 was definitly better than Double Dragon. Both were great. Battletoads WAS incredibly hard and I never had the Game Genie for NES. I thought Ninja Turtles would be #1, but not Turtles in Time. How about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddyShoo Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 That list is worthless without X-Men. Who in their right mind wouldn't put a game that had 6 co-op players in their top 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded-Dragon Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 That list is worthless without X-Men. Who in their right mind wouldn't put a game that had 6 co-op players in their top 10? Can't see the list from work But I find it hard to believe that game is not on the list. Possibly because it never got a home port? Even if they ported it over today and it was $20 I'd buy it. Anbody willing to take the time to type out the list? I don't wanna wait until I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 TMNT is a good call. Would Guantlet be considered a beat em up game? That would be my #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 X-Men definitely deserved a mention on that list. I always loved Battletoads, Double Dragon, and TMNT... real good stuff right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyfar Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I always liked Double Dragon, the TMNT games, Xmen and Streets of Rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddyShoo Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 TMNT is a good call. Would Guantlet be considered a beat em up game? That would be my #1. I'm not sure if Gauntlet would be considered a beat-em-up. When I hear the term, I think of a side-scroller that requires more than a few hits to kill a bad guy.

SkinsOrlando Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 TMNT was an awesome game, battletoads frustrated the hell out of me even with my buddies game genie. Final fight was another great game, a little to easy though. I think Gauntlet should count, Double Dragon is just a classic and I agree X-men the arcade game kicked major ass.

BigDaddyShoo Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 double dragon 2>double dragon. are mortal combat and street fighter not considered "beat em up" games? Those 2 are definitely Fighting games, not beat-em-ups. Pit fighter is kinda one of those that could be either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 double dragon 2>double dragon. are mortal combat and street fighter not considered "beat em up" games? "Beat Em Up" is defined as a side-scrolling fighting game where you go through multipule enemies every level. Both of the games you mention are simply called "fighting games". When it's only 1 on 1.

dreamshatterer Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 X-Men is a definiate miss from that list. Also, Aliens VS. Predator. It was a 4 player game when 2 people could be predators and the other 2 as huumans. Very awesome game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this list is crap without: and Bad Dudes is a good call, but I think it was a little too ridiculous to put in the 10 best ever. Enemies were just flying all over the place. Kind of disjointed. Loved the music and the look...just a little all over the place. It's one game that brings me back, though. Nice mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Dragon 2 was definitly better than Double Dragon. Both were great. Battletoads WAS incredibly hard and I never had the Game Genie for NES. I thought Ninja Turtles would be #1, but not Turtles in Time. How about the regular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game? Thanks for the list. I would of taken Streets of Rage 2 higher, definitely X-men should of been on the list. Aliens vs Predator should of been also, as someone already mentioned. Not sure if I would place The Simpsons that high. Double Dragon 2 is def better than the original, as well as Golden Axe 2 over the first. My top 5 Would be... 1. X-men 2. Streets of Rage 2 3. Turtles in Time 4. Final Fight 3 5. The Simpsons With Golden Axe 2 coming in a close number 6 I'd really have to sit down and round out the rest though.

D'Pablo Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 1. Streets of Rage II (best music in a video game, ever!) 2. Double Dragon II (they had the hurricane kick before street fighter) 3. River City Ransom (best dialogue in a video game, ever!) 4. Ninja Gaiden II (tied for best boss characters in a video game, ever!) 5. Shinobi (tied for best boss characters in a video game, ever!)

cyfar Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Cheers to those who brought up Guardian Heroes(I thought it was consdiered an RPG) and Pit Fighter. I totally forgot about how fun those games were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
