Granted, but one good game doesn't make a good genre.

Uhmmmmmm..... the first Alone in the Dark was fun.  So was the first Tomb Raider for like the first few hours.  Ninja Gaiden was fun.

Aaaaaaaand, I'm spent.

I'd call Alone in the dark and Tomb raider Action-Adventure games, not 3D platformers. 3D platformers are things like Crash bandicoot (sp?), Spyra the dragon, Mario 3D, Sonic 3D, etc.

I'll also add that the first Alone In The Dark is arguably the greatest game ever made.

Top 15, without a doubt.  But it will never leap Starcontrol 2, Starcraft, Wing Commander 2, or FFVII.

I can live with top 15. I preferred Warcraft II, but starcraft is awesome. FFVII is the best game of its generation. Never played the other two.

We're agreeing on stuff. I'm scared.

Both StarControl II and Wing Commander 2 are available in "updated" fan version that run on Windows and some even on Linux and Mac.  Check wikipedia and google and you should be able to find them.

SC2 is a RPG with an action based combat system.  It's overheard, and you're in space ships, and each ship has a few specific attacks.  It's wild and has a great storyline.

Wing Commander invented the cockpit view space fighter sim.  So if you liked Tie Fighter or X-Wing, they are essentially Wing Commander clones.

and New Super Mario Bros. is amazing, its the first original Mario side scroller in a long time! (think like the old NES games), its really fun! :D


New Super Mario Bros. is made of win. It's like Super Mario Land 2. <3

And holy crap, I can't wait for Final Fantasy III. Hoping Mother 3 makes it here, too.

I think you'd like NSMB; it's straight up old school platforming Mario. I keep missing jumps just like old times. XD

And damnit, FFVII was not the best game of its generation. Suikoden II was. ¬___¬;;

Let me enlighten you: it was the Nintendo DS Lite, it just came out in the US and Europe.
The game was probably New Super Mario Bros. which kinda looks like the old NES Mario (gameplay-wise) but with kick-ass new graphics!

what?! i hated that piece o crap. i never bought any other games for it or anything cos i never used it again.. it sits  in some dark corner in my house collecting dust. oh how i wish i still had my NES or supermario even. n64 made me dizzy and nauseous.

chillout, supermario came out in what... 85? it's not like there's some huge generation gap between us, lol. it was a year later.
