I shot my drink out my nose when I saw Raptor on the list.
Raptor is a good game, but in the top ten?  C'mon.  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why are these guys trying to sound like radio DJs?  Nobody thinks radio DJs are cool.

Geez, this shit is horrible...

What's the one kids show on TV with the puppet lemur or whatever? This shit reminds me of whatever the hell that show is. The difference, I suppose, is that the lemur show is infantile on purpose.

And Joe is right. I expect to be told to "come on down" to the local Chevy dealership for free hot dogs and balloons if I test drive a Cobalt.

I do agree with some of their choices though; Ikaruga, R-Type, and Galaga. I ceased enjoying R-Type a decade ago (at least) but it is an important game historically speaking. Galaga is f*cking great is the most playable game that is that old except maybe Ms. Pac Man. Ikaruga is just f*cking amazing. I love it.

Xevious is pretty much unplayble for me. Its incredibly boring. Area 88 is nice, and truly an overlooked gem, but probably not even a top 50, certainly not #1.

I'd have stuff on there like GoT, ESP Ra.De., Radiant Silvergun, Blazing Star...newer stuff, mostly, and my entire list would probably be arcade releases except maybe GoT.

If I was going to put weird off the wall shit on there that nobody else would vote for: Game Tengoku, Akenvader, Dandan Feveron, and Macross: DYRL (Saturn).

As Top 10 lists on corporate websites go, 3 out of 10 isn't bad, but this thing is still embarrassing.

Yeah i was kinda dissapointed with their choices aswell, dunno why its always like 90% of thier stuff is nintendo and maybe they'll throw in a sega game or a pc one just to show their not biosed, good example being their top 10 ninjas video, tut tut.

If you go on the proper screwattack website they have like one TG-16 review and its for one of the Bonk games

but please notice that the not talking about the historically and legendary R-Type we all love so much, but about the crappy and foozled SNES port of R-Type II aka Super R-Type. still wonder, where in gods name the "super" is got to?

The sad thing is that I know you're talking about Bear In The Big Blue House.  The sadder thing is I know that lemur's name is Treelo.  :shock:
