1992 VIDEO GAMES POLL

SC2, easy.

SC2, easy.

no. r u retarded?

Dune II pwns, actually.

XP - you never played SC2 i take it?

super mario kart by a country mile

super mario land 2: 6 golden coins is runner up

lol Mordy i have, it's before my time i guess. sc reverence is just a thing i've never understood. my top5 would be:
01 Shining Force
02 Alone in the Dark
03 Romance of the Three Kingdoms III: Dragon of Destiny
04 Ecco
05 Final Fantasy V

If I'd played Shining Force, I'd probably be voting for that; I absolutely loved the sequel that came out on the Saturn.

Alone in the Dark is incredibly overrated, I think.

Gotta agree with Mordy, before I saw Star Control 2, I thought this might be a tough one.

Still, damn! Contra III and Super Mario Kart! Dagger of Amon Ra (aka Laura Bow 2), Fate of Atlantis, 7th Guest and Alone in the Dark for the adventure genre! Sonic 2! Final Fantasy V! Amazing year, it's like 1989 and American summer blockbusters.

Bard's Tale II wasn't 1992. Voted Shining Force cos that's how I roll.

Yeah, Bard's Tale II is a mistake.

I voted for Sonic 2, with Super Mario Kart and Flashback being my next favorites.

Fate of Atlantis would probably have been my #2

Honestly, Wolfenstein was the one that I committed my soul to.

alone in the dark gave me nightmares when i played it as a kid. i still have really vivid memories of the game and certain puzzles. i haven't played it since about 1993, in part probably because it can't really live up to the memories i have. shining force 2, however, is one of the best games ever.

i tried playing contra III like a month ago and it was crazy hard. and ugly, actually.

star control 2 ftw

between wolfenstein and mortal kombat for me.

i understand dune ii was supposed to be great, i played it once i think -- but i never liked any of the rts games that followed it.

between wolfenstein and mortal kombat for me.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

That Night Trap video posted above is kind of infuriating.

Alone in the Dark, although Wolfenstein comes second. For better or worse both games foreshadow a heck of a lot of stuff that came after.

Yeah, but so does Dune II. I picked Star Control II, partly because I enjoyed it more than anything else I played on the list.

I wanted to vote Alone in the Dark, but think I may have inadvertantly clicked on Virtua Racing. Anyway of changing it?

wolf3d.exe ftw

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

SPATHI ELUDER

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I'm surprised Mortal Kombat placed so high. It's a really fun game, but it doesn't have the depth of Street Fighter II and other fighting games of the time.

^Srsly^

Every character had the same exact kicks, punches, sweeps, uppercuts. Every punch hit for the same amount of damage, no matter which character you chose. LAME

It's gotta be the nostalgia, surely. I played the HELL out of both MK1 and 2 in the arcades - I was still pretty hungry for fighting games back then despite also being hardcore into SF2 - and NeoGeo fighters aren't really as popular or available. "Mortal Monday" is way too familiar for a lot of people in my generation - MK was huge and fun. Looking back, it's really obvious the game was nowhere near as good as Capcom or SNK's stuff, but there's still that fondness. (But obviously I still voted for Star Control 2, come on)

I'm still in awe of how many good to great games are on that list!

none of them are sc2 tho u fucking nerds

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time who voted for this?

Was that the one where you can throw enemies at the camera? good times

It actually had the extra stages and altered bosses from the arcade version, so for once it was (sort of) a superior port! (but I didn't vote for it)

srsly wht the hell is star control 2?!

http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

YAY JUSTICE!!!

SC2 4ever.

Super Star Wars

I appreciate there wasn't exactly tonnes of votes, but I'm surprised I'm the only person who chose Flashback.

This poll vs. the '96 poll shows what a strong year '92 was IMO...

looks like my vote didn't mess up afterall

I've never played Star Control 2. How about we use it for next month's IPC?

it feels weird to me that wolfenstein came out alongside some of these great console games, i think of it as older than that.

I would also like to do Star Control 2... though i never played fallout, really.
Is it readily accessible?

Can one of you guys invite me to the Players Club? I didn't offer to join cos my own playing agenda seems too packed but I'd like to read the threads.

I'd really like to open the thing up! I made a big mistake trying to keep it private and now I'd like it public.

NV, what's the email you signed up to ILX via?

n00dlev4✧✧✧@g00gl3m✧✧✧.✧0m except not googleproofed, obv.

oh I forgot ILX took care of that shit. OK you get the drift anyway right?

a remake of Turtles in Time is coming out for XBLA

judging from the foot soldiers' moves there, that's actually a remake of "Beat It."

by the way thanks to this thread I can now play SC2 on my PSP
