Might aswell get this started with a console that everyone loves making lists about, eh?

What is GRecommends?

A place where people of the forum can go and see what other people of the forum think we should play. A place free of conflict, a place where we all come together to form the ultimate list ultilist GREATEST LISTS OF ALL TIME.

Each thread will be open for two weeks, there will be no more than two threads at a time as to not clog up the forum and people will vote for their Top 20 games for the console the thread is about.

Voting

All you need to do is make a list, in order, of the twenty games you think people should play on each console, and the higher up on your list the game is, the more points it receives. It would be helpful if you put the points in brackets next to the game, but it isn't necessary. If you do not put points, then I will award them myself based on the order of your list, so remember to put your favourite games first.

Example:
1 - Best Game Ever (20)
2 - Second Best Game Ever (19)
...
19 - Nineteenth Best Game Ever (2)
20 - Twentieth Best Game Ever (1)


If you have a multi-platform game you want to vote for, go ahead, and vote for it on any other consoles you played it on too. I know i'm going to vote for Tony Hawks 2 on N64, Dreamcast and GBA. :lol:

If you vote for some obscure game that a fool like me probably hasn't even heard of, please put a link to it on Wikipedia/somewhere else too.

Optional: I plan to make the thread in the end as fancy as ever, links to videos, places to buy and so on, so if you like, you can include a small review of a game that could end up being mentioned in the final thread. No more than 200 characters as to not waste your time if they're not picked.

Voting is open until Thursday 15th of March at 11:59pm.

Interested in this. I only ever played Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64, and yesterday I was looking for ideas for decent N64 games that I could legally acquire for use on my PSP. :shifty:

1 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (20)
2 - Super Mario 64 (19)
3 - Mario Kart 64 (18)
4 - GoldenEye 007 (17)
5 - Diddy Kong Racing (16)
6 - Banjo-Kazooie (15)
7 - Super Smash Bros. (14)
8 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (13)
9 - Conker's Bad Fur Day (12)
10 - Mario Tennis (11)
11 - Star Wars Episode I: Racer (10)
12 - International Superstar Soccer 64 (9)
13 - Lylat Wars (8)
14 - Ready 2 Rumble Boxing (7)
15 - Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (6)
16 - Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (5)
17 - Paper Mario (4)
18 - Mario Party 2 (3)
19 - Pokémon Stadium (2)
20 - Wave Race 64 (1)


Despite this being the console of my childhood, whilst going through those lists I realised just how many games I never actually got to play like Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong, F-Zero and Majora's Mask. I'm sure this'll change when I see a game I forgot about in someone else's list though.

I already had to make one change to it before even hitting submit due to letting my experiences with Star Fox 64 3D cloud my judgement on Lylat Wars, which I used to strawberry floating love.

If anyone fancies making a general logo for this and then logos for the final thread then let me know, i'll even let you put it on your CV.

I love how the 6th best game you ever played on the N64 was one you never got in to or finished. :lol: Does that mean the following 13 are just really bad or it was that good?

No it's because I got really far into it, but didn't fully immerse myself in it for some reason, and enjoyed what I played but never finished it. There was no denying its quality.

Just thinking of a game I really wanted to play that was meant to be decent, Rocket Robot on Wheels (or something like that). Did many have it?

It's great :wub: Started playing it on Project 64 a few days ago. Absolutely impossible platforming in places, though :x

Finding 20 is going to be tough, probably the leanest selection of great games on any console i've owned since my Master System. Could have the greatest top 5 of any machine but one of the weakest top 20s for me. I'll give it a bash though.

I felt that too, there weren't alot of truly great games. I felt I was scraping the barrel with my selection of 10. Although I never did get to play Majora's mask. And I thought PD 64 was awful.

1. Zelda OoT
2. SM 64
3. Mario Kart 64
4. Golden Eye
5. Perfect Dark
6. Banjo Kazooie
7. Jet Force Gemini
8. F-Zero X
9. Yoshi's Story
10. 1080
11. Snowboard Kids (I think that's what it was called)
12 Banjo Tooie
13. Worms Armagedon
14. Diddy Kong Racing
15. Donk Kong 64


I didn't play that many games on the N64 even though it was the only console I had at the time, so a lot of these are mulitplayer games I played with mates that they owned. I was young(ish) and games were expensive, I think I only ended up with about 7 or so in the end (I must have put in hundreds of hours on Perfect Dark with bots, mind). Never played Conker or Majoras mask or Paper Mario, but have been meaning to on emulator. Must get around to it.

This was the console when I grew up, but I really didn't get many games for it. I was too poor (and I got a Gamecube in year 6 so obviously I very rarely played it again).

Lego Grand Theft Auto... You KNOW you would buy it.
