Jump 'n runs

People who added this item 528 Average listal rating (738 ratings) 8.3 IMDB Rating 0
Super Mario Bros. - Famicom and NES
Very hard milestone of the jump 'n run genre.
Never played the more diffucult "New Game +" without save states.

Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels - Wii Virtual Console
This is the real Super Mario Bros 2.
In Europe & the USA another japanese jump 'n run was rebranded as Super Mario because this one seemed to be too difficult for EU & US.

It really is difficult!

Super Mario Bros. 2 - Famicom and NES
As said, this game originally was another japanese jump 'n run and not a Mario game.

It's no wonder that this game is quite strange, I like the original Mario games more!

Super Mario Bros. 3 - Famicom and NES
Great Mario with new powerups, nice overworlds and with mabny levels.

I like Super Mario World better, but this definitely is a must play jump 'n run!

I like this one better than the first SML.
It's easier (exept the boss level!) and has a nice overworld.

I love it!

Super Mario 64 - Nintendo 64
I'm not a fan of 3D Marios (so far) and I played Mario 64 way to late.
But I understand why it's great!

Sonic the Hedgehog - Sega Genesis and Mega Drive
I like Sonic, although the Sonic games aren't as great as the Mario games.

The first one is the hardest one.

The second Sonic is even better!

Conker's Bad Fur Day - Nintendo 64
Although conker looks like a typical family friendly Rare charakter, Conker's Bad Fur Day is an adventure for adults.

It's quite revolutionary, even though the gameplay isn't that great and very repetitive.

A must play!

People who added this item 264 Average listal rating (144 ratings) 8.4 IMDB Rating 0
Shenmue - Sega Dreamcast
Innovative open world adventure with a very interesting setting and a great story.

Even though it has some flaws (like repetitive gameplay), it's still a must play, I love it!

Indigo Prophecy - PC Games
The gameplay isn't great, but this adventure is very atmospheric and I like the freaked out story.

Assassin's Creed - PlayStation 3
The first few hours are good and fun, then it get's very repetitive.

The first Assassin's Creed definitely is the worst one!

Risen - PC Games
Open world action adventure, which is the follow up to
"Gothic".

You need to like these kind of games to enjoy Risen,I do.

Tales from the Borderlands is a funny adventure with very few gameplay elements.
It's very easy and you kinda feel like watching a movie sometimes, but the fun still is there!

Pokemon: Ruby Version - Game Boy Advance
This is the Pokémon game I played the most.
Very addictive, but quite simple RPG
machinegnome's rating:

RuneScape - PC Games
A pretty old free 2 play MMORPG.
It was the first MMORPG I played, and it's the one I played the most, although it's not that great.

Pretty outdated graphics & animations, it's free until you completed all the free quests, after that you have to pay monthly to unlock the rest of the game.
machinegnome's rating:
I love this RPG (mixed with shooter elements).
It's a must play, even for people who don't like shooters.

Fallout: New Vegas - PC Games
Haven't played this enough to say if it's worse or better than Fallout 3 yet, but I definitely will.
machinegnome's rating:
I couldn't really get into this game.
The dungeons are repetetive, so are the fights.

This is the perfect South Park game.

It looks like the TV show, and it's just as funny.
Aaand this game is also a very solid and addictive RPG!

Undertale - PC Games
A really great 2D indie game with a funny, unconventional story and fighting system.

A must play for 2D RPG Fans if you ask me!

Street Fighter Alpha 2 - Super famicom and SNES
(Referring to the normal Street Fighter 2 version for the SNES)

A milestone!
This one was the perfect 2D fighting game back than, and it started the one on one fighter hype.

The story mode is pretty difficult!
