Whoa, you're right! Better make that "Pong Sports".

 

And I haven't played many homebrews, but I'd like to add another vote for "Man Goes Down". I can't wait for this one to be finished!!

And while I don't really care for volleyball, Realsports Volleyball is in my opinion the best representation of any of the sports games, which many of you guys don't care for. I'm also very curious to see Zach's version of chess, it may shoot right towards the top of my list.

2. Dream Flight

What game is this really? It's not even in the AA guide under this title.

[atomickneedrop]

I agree with almost all of these, but no mention of 'Off The Wall'. Were my friends and I the only ones whom enjoyed this one?

[Shannon]

This is kinda cool. I wanted to do something similar a few years ago but could not think of any reasonable way to accomplish that. I figured it would be a great way for someone new to a system to know what to try first.

 

I also thought it'd be pretty cool to do something similar for other systems as well. I take it the list was pared down to 50. (since the topic says 100).

[vdub_bobby]

I take it the list was pared down to 50. (since the topic says 100).

I'm maintaining the rankings, but I didn't start the topic, so I can't edit the topic title or the first post.

 

And the list was pared to 50 because beyond that point the list gets a little muddled, since most of the games below 50 only have a few votes. Maybe next update I'll include more of the list, though.

[Lucky Man]

I would like to change my choices for...

 

Supercharger Games:

 

1. Phasor Patrol

2. The Official Frogger

3. Communist Mutants From Space

4. Escape From the Mindmaster

5. Party Mix

(Added The Official Frogger and reworked order)

 

and Homebrews:

 

1. Qb

2. Lady Bug

3. Fall Down

4. Gunfight

5. This Planet Sucks

(Added the stupendous and wonderfully flickery Lady Bug and moved Qb to #1 (I can't stop playing that game!)

 

Here's a link to my original post if you need it.
