Video Game Tournament: Second Three Matchups Are Up!

[Simple Torture]

I encouraged people to take Banjo Kazooie pages and pages ago--what a fun game.

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
2. Mario Kart (Wii)
3. Half-Life 2 (PC)
4. Twisted Metal 2 (PS1)
5. NHL 95 (Sega Genesis)
6. The Oregon Trail (graphical version, 1985, Apple II)
7. Metroid: Zero Mission (GBA)
8. Missile Command (Arcade)
9. Rocket League (PS4)
10. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father (PC)

I strongly considered

Kirby's Adventure
Double Dragon
TMNT II
NBA Jam
Streets of Rage
F Zero
Secret of Mana
Guardian Heroes
Virtue Fighter 2
Star Fox 64
Banjo Kazooie
Jet Grind Radio
Crazy Taxi
Child of Light

Didn't someone pick NBA Jam? If not, holy crap.

Someone mentioned it around the time NHL 95 was picked, but I don't think anyone took it.

Glad to see another Virtua Fighter 2 fan on here, there was a simplicity to it that I loved. No projectiles or magic, just different body shapes/fighting styles.

It was silky smooth at the time too.

There are a couple of teams that have only 1-2 games that I've played. My calculus of whom I will vote for is going to be rough.

Nobody mentioned Myst.

I'm guessing that's because of the shame you all feel because of never coming close to beating it.

The genre died too. On-rail shooters don't exist anymore. Panzer Dragoon Orta was the best in genre.

[LoathedVermin72]

You guys are idiots. I still love that game and think it holds up beautifully.

[Norah]

Whoever picks a Commander Keen game gets my vote throughout the tournament.

These were left on my shortlist:

Journey (PS3)
Inside (PS4)
Super Smash Bros Wii U (Wii U)
NBA 2k19 or 2k11 (PS4 or PS3)
NBA Jam (Arcade)
Micro Machines (NES)
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (N64)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (PS3)
Shovel Knight (Wii U)
Earthbound (SNES)
Uncharted 3 (PS3)
Uncharted 4 (PS4)
Minesweeper (PC)
Myst (PC)

[bada]

Star Fox Adventures is the only Star Fox I've played.

[run2death]

GoldenEye was originally gonna be an on-rails shooter.

I was considering Uncharted 4 but didn't think the replay value was strong enough and it wouldn't appeal to you simpletons who don't find complex treasure hunting missions accessible enough.
