that being said, anyone know which video game console is up next for a top 100? And I read that the Game Boy one ended in failure too, so we're never gonna see that?

If I could get some help, I'd be more than willing to make a Commodore 64 list. But, I don't know how many people here played Commodores as kids.
I don't think there area many console systems left that you could do 100 lists for.
The three I can think of are: Genesis, Playstation, and Gameboy.
Anything else, it would be hard to come up with a top 50, let alone 100.

genesis list makes the most sense imo.
if the gameboy list died, then you could probably just make a handheld one. where you take all handheld games and compile a list of 100.
a PS2 list seems feasible.

While I would love a Genesis list, a top 25 n64 one sounds pretty good.

I'm fairly well-versed in the Commodore 64, Amiga, Genesis, and N64 if those ever come up in lists (and would love to see them made sometime).

Well those were the three I was thinking of that could an 100, yes. But top 100, top 50, top 3, whatever, I'm all for it.

A Genesis list would be cool, but I'd love to see a Game Boy list if it doesn't include GBC and GBA games. There were 9 years between the original Game Boy and the Game Boy Color, so comparing those two wouldn't be fair IMHO.

A Game Boy list is still a possibility. Last time around, it came down to SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy. Game Boy seemed like too much work and Valdronius hasn't played a lot of Genesis games, so SNES made the most sense at the time. Genesis would probably make the most sense to do next, but I still would like to attempt a Game Boy list. The main point problem is deciding what constitutes a Gameboy game. That is, should Game Boy and Game Boy Color be considered the same system? My inclination is yes. Of course, my inclination is jaded by the fact that I didn't own a GB until the GBC days. But at the same time, a list of just original GB games would be hard to pull off. A lot of them were just redone versions of NES and SNES games, and aside from Tetris, and most of them were terrible. Also most GBC games will run on a regular GB which contributes to my theory that the two pieces of hardware are not distinct enough to be considered separate systems.

Given that the majority of Tiger Handhend Electronic "Games" were beyond crappy and virtually unplayable it would be fun to read a list of those, but I doubt anyone wold have any laying around to review (or the will power to force themselves to sit and play one for more than 3 minutes). Everytime I see one it's in a doctors office, and it's usually broken.

The biggest problem with Tiger games is that, as far as I know, there's no emulation system that runs them. Ergo, there's no way to get decent looking screenshots of them.

The only problem I see with a C64 list is that the library is SO extensive that it's hard to determine which games I have and have not played. I don't think I could recall 100 off the top of my head. That, and there might be 20 games that everyone has played and the rest that only the person voting for them played.

Maniac Mansion and Zac McCraken would be tied for first.

Those games are great, but I have a hard time viewing them as anything other than PC ports. But Maniac Mansion made the NES list, so the SCUMM games would probably make the C64 list as well.

Agree completely with this, Val. Still, as a former - well, still current, I guess! - hardcore C64 fan, I would love to see this list.

Heh. I forgot that the downside of any 'top anything' list is the inevitable outrage on the part of those whose favorite things are slighted.
Which is to say: I loved Impossible Mission - I still remember thinking how cool it was that the 'pause' button was a picture of paws - but I wouldn't call it #1. In my opinion that belongs to Pool of Radiance, which makes my list of Top Ten Video Games of All Time. (I was a huge D&D g33k.)

Difference of opinions is what make the Top 100 lists so much fun to do. When Syd does them, it's not just Syd saying here's the list in the order I think it should be. He takes a couple of people and they all vote together on which game should be where on the list. So what may be #1, may not nessicarily be Syd's personal choice, but the choice of the majority who made the list.
Also, I still think the best AD&D gold box game was "Champions of Krynn".

I was way into Gameboy back in the day, especially since the Super Nintendo and the Genesis belonged to my older brothers (therefore I was not allowed to play them). I had a shit load of games for the GB, most of which I sold to the fuckers at EB when PS2 came out so I could raise enough store credit to get one. I regret doing that shit especially when I see how much they are worth now. Luckily there were about 15 I couldn't part with, 5 of which are Mega Man I-V. I say do the GB list. GB Color games should count too because some of the GBC games did work on the original. If it was a black cartridge, it was backwards compatable. If it was clear, it was only for color.

Despite having the Game Boy name, GBA was an entirely new system. The "Advance" part of the system's name was akin to the "Super" in Super Nintendo.

Wasn't the GBA a handheld super nintendo for all intents and purposes?

Pretty much. It ran at a lower resolution than the SNES, but it was mostly the same.

I don't think the sound chip was as good, either.
