JB Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Can we add a "best ninja in a sporting event" category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Pac Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 You are all wrong the 7800 game with THE BEST GRAPHICS is: Tower Toppler without question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 The underwater sequence, I would agree - indeed some of the best graphics on the 7800. But the towers against ALIEN BRIGADE? No contest ... AB takes it hook, line and sinker! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 Like your thoughts, games duley added to the nominations. Don't have commando and Alien Brigade is on its way to me at the mo! Anyway 2 more catagories:- Nominations for best 7800 personality are :- Louie - Scrapyard Dog Ms. Pacman Mario - Donkey kong, Donkey kong Jnr. & Mario Bros. Grampa - Midnight Mutants The BROWN TIA for worst game nominations are :- Hat Trick - Truley dull hockey game. Karateka - Could have been so good . . . Fight Night - Rubbish and random. Title Match Wrestling - Looks good but plays like a limp squid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hat Trick was sweet with 2 people. Not so much 1 player, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Laird Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 Nominations for best Multi-player game are: Winter Games - Loads of players, loads of fun! Double Dragon - Just like the arcade! One-on-one Basketball - My fave. Basketbrawl - Different as you can also fight! Nominations for most original game are: Jinks - Its weird but i like it! Ninja Golf - Possibly the craziest idea ever! Crack'ed - Not your normal shooting game. Super Skatebordin' - Not really a platformer or skating game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
