I'd say Konami but they're big and supposed to make good games.
-
Nintendo? Anybody?...
Compile, Konami, Hudson/Red, Capcom, Working Designs/Telenet.
-
Jaleco = quality
-
NMK
Seibu Kaihatsu
Toaplan

For 16-bit, will also say why
God tier:
Nintendo-only the best
Capcom-large variety of quality and quantity
Taito-magical arcade games (I would say Taito is more Disneyish than Nintendo)
Hudson-top tier developer/maker of the PC Engine. Nuff said.
Great tier:
Namco-lots of creative and fun arcade ports, but some crap too.
IREM-not a whole lot, but some lovely games. Incredible PCE conversions though
SEGA-awesome games, but not on the level of Nintendo
Good tier:
Toaplan-good shmups, ALL Your Base meme is amazing. Graphics are wonky though, and difficulty is strange
Konami-overally mostly good games, the rare masterpiece though
Meh tier:
Data East: love Bloody Wolf, that's about it
Jaleco: could not care about their games
-
Astyanax
Power Blade
Bases Loaded
All worth the price of admission.
I was a sunsoft fan too.
-

to be honest, there are so many good ones and they all had their excellent games of their own.

Ultra - Way better than just regular Konami
Sunsoft - Sillius, Batman, RotJ,
FCI - Purely for the NES ports of Ultima Exodus and Quest of the Avatar along with the SNES port of False Prophet.
Rare -RC Pro-Am, Battletoads

LOL. Ocean? You must've played a lot of Amiga or Atari ST back in the day to use that company in this thread. I sure liked them. I loved Ivanhoe.

hahaha ivanhoe was my first own amiga game. i so loved it for its nice colors and big arcade bumped sprites, very despit the fact that it run in like 5fps and its gameplay was probably the worst ever to experience :lol:
also a just let the sword intro run for like hours non-stop, because I was so proud of my newly get amiga :lol:
"Deliver le king"

My dad was the one who rented me the VB and I was only 10 when the movie came out... :lol:
In all seriousness Water World was covered 100% in a issue of NP as a full walkthrough. It's just that the movie failed so hard (don't worry I still love you) that they didn't bother bringing it to NA like originally planned. I had that issue and I thought it looked pretty cool and I always wanted to play it ever since I was a kid.
I also thought somebody would get a kick out me mentioning Ocean. They made a lot games based on movies and many of their games were of dubious quality lol.

hahaha, so I wasn't that far off shore :lol:
