There are so many more I know I'm missing, but these are the only ones I can remember playing right now that really stood out.

Huge videogamer all my life.

Axelay (SNES)

One of the few games I desperately wanted to play and never got a chance to. Kept blowing all my money in the arcades.

This will be one of the first games I dial up from the Revolution Virtual Console.

What is this game about?

What is this game about?

I believe it's Shinobi.

 

[Bobbler]

Best Mega Man game ever imo.

By far (2, 3, 1 in that order, if you ask me!). The comically inaccurate box art (for NA at least) is also great. Mega Man was some dude in blue tights with a gun in his hand - Hah.

My favourite classic games are :
Forbidden Forest
Gridrunner/Matrix
Impossible Mission
Jinn Genie
Elevator
Falcon Patrol
(all C64)

Underrated:

The first game on a shiny disc?

Stay awhile, stay forever!

The first '3d' game?

The first '3d' game?

Isometric view.

I was trying to remember the game name and it finally hit me. Zaxxon. Very fun game.

The properties for the image named it ...wb3a, which I took to be WonderBoy 3, seeing the similarities of the graphics. Of that series I played a few and WBiML was best. Maybe your game is from a different series that just looked similar?

Ok. Here we go.

from http://en.wikipedia.org

"Wonder Boy in Monster Land (Monster World: Super Wonder Boy in Japan, also known as Super Monster World: Super Wonder Boy in some North American versions and Super Wonder Boy in Monsterland for the Activision conversions) is a 1987 arcade game developed by Westone and published by Sega. It is the sequel to the 1986 game Wonder Boy."

"Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap (Monster World II Dragon No Wana in Japan) is a 1989 platform game by Sega and Westone. This game is a direct sequel to Wonder Boy in Monster Land and starts in the final lair of the previous game."

Theres a first wonderboy, obviously. And two sequels 4 and 5 named Monster World. Theres also a Wonderboy III: Monster lair, which apparently is more of a shoot-em-up.
This should hopefully clear things up.

I like both WBiML and the related sequel The Dragon's Trap. I think I played the first one but didn't like it much.

I never played the dragon one. From the screenies WBiML actually looks better IMO, as though I'd expect that to follow the dragon, going by visuals alone.

 

[dukmahsik]

oh yes!

was awesome

 

[SugarCoat]

Marble Madness

Sim Copter

Fond memories of Delta Force as well. I believe it was one of the first to have dedicated online FPS servers. Loved 40 or 50 person capture the flag in that game, was absolutly fantastic.
