X Men the arcade game.

Xenosaga

[Kaney]

Hitman for H. Agent 47 > boring space guy

Deus Ex for D. Update the list already so we know what you're missing!

[Reddaye]

Just to give some ideas on the ones not filled out on the main post right now...

B: Bubble Bobble or Bionic Commando

D: Diablo 2 or Doom

E: Escape From Monkey Island

F: Fallout

I: Ikaruga

J: Joust

N: Ninja Gaiden (1,2,3,Black,4, whatever)

P: Pac-Man

Q: Q*Bert

R: Resident Evil 2

T: Tetris

U: Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness

V: Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines

Y: Ys or Yar's Revenge

Z: Zaxxon

If Xevious doesn't turn your crank you could use Xenogears, or X-Men Legends.

[Dan]

Bubble Bobble and Bionic Commando are both bad-ass games.

[HailtotheYo]

I've even given you to X's .... clearly some of these need to be on your list (zaxxon was already mentioned)

I think Ninja Gaiden 2 can go on the mural. Should be nice actually, since last mural I had the original Ninja Gaiden on there.

So, yeah, N will be Ninja Gaiden 2. As for T, I'm leaning more and more towards Tetris. Not completely decided on it, but definitely thinking it may be the best option here really.

[The Mask of Norro]

Alright, here's a list of the remaining letters and the games I am currently considering using for them. If you guys could, either voice your opinions on the ones you'd like to see make the mural, or suggest other games for these particular letters:

B is down to Brain Age, Bioshock, Bubble Bobble, and Bomberman

D is down to Donkey Kong Country, Dead Rising, Dance Dance Revolution, Duck Hunt, Doom, and Dig Dug

E is down to Escape from Monkey Island, Elebits, Earthworm Jim, and Earthbound

F is down to Final Fantasy VII or X (personal favorites, hush >_>), Fallout 3, F-Zero, Frogger, and any one of the Fire Emblem games

I is down to Ico and Ikaruga

J is down to Joust and Jak 1, 2 or 3

P is down to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Pokemon Red or Blue, Pacman, Prince of Persia, and Pong

Q is down to Q-bert, Quake, and Qix

R is down to Resident Evil (any of them really), Rock Band 2, Rayman or Rayman 2: The Great Escape, and Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party

T is down to Tetris, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Turok, Tomb Raider or Tomb Raider: Underworld, Tekken or Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, THPS2 and Twisted Metal

U is down to Unreal Tournament III, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and Uniracers

V is down to Virtua Fighter or Virtua Fighter 5, Viewtiful Joe or Viewtiful Joe 2, and Viva Piñata

Y is down to Yoshi's Island DS and Yar's Revenge

It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all outta gum.

By which I mean D is for Duke Nukem, specifically 3D.

I've only included the ones I have a preference on:

B is down to Brain Age, Bioshock, Bubble Bobble, and Bomberman

It's just too visually appealing. The image of the Big Daddy is incredibly memorable and there are plenty of other parts of Rapture that would look great in a mural. Second place to Bomberman for how instantly recognisable the design of the character is.

D is down to Donkey Kong Country, Dead Rising, Dance Dance Revolution, Duck Hunt, and Doom

This is a tough one, but I've gone for Dead Rising because it's one of the only contemporary games I can think of with memorable imagery (particularly the logo itself.) DKC or Doom would be excellent too.

E is down to Escape from Monkey Island, Elebits, Earthworm Jim, and Earthbound

Simply one of the greatest games of all time - this one is no contest for me. Guybrush and LeChuck will instantly add some humour to a mural that's probably going to be dominated by nostalgia and respect for the greatest games of all time.

F is down to Final Fantasy VII or X (personal favorites, hush >_>), Fallout 3, F-Zero, Frogger, and any one of the Fire Emblem games

Obviously the FF games are far more famous, but I've opted for Fallout for the same reasons as Bioshock and Dead Rising - they're some of the most graphically interesting games of recent years, whereas yesteryear will have dozens of entries I think.

P is down to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Pokemon Red or Blue, Pacman, Prince of Persia, and Pong

Pacman is amongst a handful of the most significant characters in gaming history, so can't be excluded. Pong is never going to look interesting, so the only other competition is Phoenix Wright - which has plenty of characters that would be worthy of inclusion.

Q is down to Q-bert, Quake, and Qix

Sure, this might be a drearily-designed game aesthetically, but the icon alone is one of the best in the industry. Neither of the other games stands up to Quake in importance.

R is down to Resident Evil (any of them really), Rock Band 2, Rayman or Rayman 2: The Great Escape, and Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party

I reckon one of the rhythm/music games has to be in and if it's not Guitar Hero it has to be this. RB is a modern phenomenon and the chance to include some pictures of performing musicians will break up the logos and retro characters that will make up the majority of the piece.

T is down to Tetris, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Turok, Tomb Raider or Tomb Raider: Underworld, Tekken or Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, THPS2 and Twisted Metal

This is one of the most competitive letters. THPS and Tomb Raider are fierce competition, but Tetris is one of the most widely popular games ever made. If you could somehow include the theme music in the mural this one would be a shoe-in.

I think Xevious is the way to go for "X". I need more oldschool games to balance things out, considering I have a lot of modern games already on the list. Xevious could work pretty well for that.

Plus, hell, I've no idea what other game starts with an "X" that would be suitable to put up there.

I was going to mention this but someone beat me to it: Xenon! Xenon was awweeeesome. And gives you plenty of cool artwork to choose from.

[METALMAN]

wasn't there some dinosaur murdering game or something that began with x?

[Enemy Violent]

The bolds are my votes. This is more from a perspective of what would look awesome visually than my favourite games.

B is down to Brain Age, Bioshock, Bubble Bobble, and Bomberman

D is down to Donkey Kong Country, Dead Rising, Dance Dance Revolution, Duck Hunt, and Doom

E is down to Escape from Monkey Island, Elebits, Earthworm Jim, and Earthbound

F is down to Final Fantasy VII or X (personal favorites, hush >_> voter's note: come on, no FFVI or FFXI?), Fallout 3, F-Zero, Frogger, and any one of the Fire Emblem games

I is down to Ico and Ikaruga

J is down to Joust and Jak 1, 2 or 3 (Author's note: the Jak series character design is... unappealing, if you have to do this focus on the cool settings)

P is down to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Pokemon Red or Blue, Pacman, Prince of Persia, and Pong

Q is down to Q-bert, Quake, and Qix

R is down to Resident Evil (any of them really), Rock Band 2, Rayman or Rayman 2: The Great Escape, and Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party

T is down to Tetris, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Turok, Tomb Raider or Tomb Raider: Underworld, Tekken or Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, THPS2 and Twisted Metal

U is down to Unreal Tournament III, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and Uniracers
