Coin Op's greatest 100 videogames. As voted for properly by you.

[Ruki]

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion.

I played a bit of this today to see if it was worth it. Ended up trying to beat the king/emperor to death in the first minute before having his guards go to town on me. Then decided this was the worst game ever and I'd avoid it like the plague (in the face customisation, the beard looks nothing like a beard! It looks like he's just bruised around the mouth)

You are bad people, and should not be allowed to live.

....I miss playing Cops N' Crooks with you, we made an awesome team

Kou sucks. Simpsons Hit & Run was immense.

Immensely awful. But Simpsons Road Rage was okay.

[MalaCloudy Black]

MORE VOTE. LESS SIMPSON.

You my friend know racing games!!! This game blows racing games away 1000x though I don't consider this a game I consider it a simulation. It's soooo much more than a game! (ok that sounds stupid, but meh) I still run leagues more than I should lol...

My top 10!

1. Nascar Racing 2003 Season - As stated above. Over 20 different types of cars over 500 different authentic tracks. Open wheels, Dirt, 1955's, Trucks & Trans Am's just to name a few.

QFT, although Nascar Thunder 2004 was better.

LIES! To be honest I haven't played it, It was hard finding NR2003 as it is, But I have heard that the R&D feature was cool, Then again 2003 has stood the test of time, Heck, I played it online with a bunch of guys this morning, How many people can say they've done that with an EA racing game, Go on NASCAR 08 or 09 and see if you can find a race, Now continue with the voting.

It's the writing. Zaz has trouble playing games where he has to read writing.

Fuck you youngins! The games on my list are older than half of you!

[Robsturgh]

1. Secret of Mana: - This game was the birth of my Hard-on for RPGs, Multiplayer, Massive world, and while not exactly a lot of side-quests, why did you need them? The story and game was fun enough to play through a hundred times...which I probably did. The sheer amount of fun and the quality of music in this game means its gotta be number 1.

2. Fallout 2: - So you do this little training bit and then what? WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT. This game is so ridiculously open ended for its time, and with the amount of ways to end the game, the amount of ways to progress, and most suprisingly to me, the amount of ways you can end any single quest is just sheer magic to me. Its the last game I played on my PC, and Ill probably play it after writing this. Fallout 3? Holy shit I cant wait.

3. Baten Kaitos: - Not many people of this earth have played this game, and even fewer hold it in as high regard as I do. Most will tell you its one of the better RPGs out there, Ill tell you its the best. I could write pages on this, but Ill summarise. The SHEER amount of inventory customisation was absolutely amazing, and was such an easy system to manage. The battle mechanics were spectacular. The story contains some brilliant moments, including the GREATEST twist I have ever seen in video gaming, if it wasn't marred by the voice acting. And the music. This music is the only Gaming OST I listen to recreationally, and probably will forever be. If you have a gamecube, get this game while you still can, its fucking genius.

4. Smash TV: - For me the definition of Multiplayer Arcade Fun. Ridiculously hard but with the same level of fun. With the over-enthusiastic gameshow host being turned into a Mutoid Man for the last boss (zomg spoilers) being the pinnacle of brilliance in gaming.

5. Final Fantasy Tactics: - When games have mechanics and storylines this good, everything else doesnt really matter. So much to do, and probably the most balanced Turn-based strategy there has been make this my (oddly) favorite in the Final Fantasy series.

6. Red Alert 2: - Oh man, the birth of my Online world. This game sucked out so many hours of my life I could start and end a war in that time. Which is ironic. Excellent Single Player and Excellent multiplayer. Except you had to play a multiplayer game in order to unlock the free-for-all Single Player Skirmish Option so that the 7 Insane level computers didn't come a stomp your ass in 30 seconds.

7. Front Mission 3: - While FFT may take my Turn Based strategy crown. This game was a revelation to me, it came at a time when the PSX was dying on its ass for me, and I bought this because the back looked cool. Turns out, the game is cool. Pretty amazing amount of customisation for each pilots mech, and pretty challenging to boot as well. Good stuff.

8. Final Fantasy VII: - Ahh my angel. I played this game more than I played any of the rest in my list by far. I remember when my cousin got a PSX before me and got this game, and I was so jealous cause I wanted it so much. When I finally got it, I couldn't put it down. Still has for me the best boss music of any game that isn't Baten Kaitos ever.

9. Disgaea: - One of the funniest games I have ever played. The cut scenes are a joy, and the character customisation is just as much of a joy. Brilliant fun, but on the same coin, pretty fucking hard at points. And the music, which is usually a big part for me in games, lacks, tremendously.

10. Mass Effect: - In my eyes, the best story told in gaming, not sure if its because it has the graphics and voice acting to accompany it, but its simply fantastic. And the game itself is chock full of shit to do, some of it, mighty repetitive, but some of it is excellent. And Wrex is a fucking badass.
