River City Ransom EX for Gameboy Advance is very good if people are not down with emulators for some reason.

super mario kart best overall i think

Forgive me for speaking so bluntly sir, but that pick makes me want to puke my guts out.

Obviously it was a great game, but you went to nintendo competitions and THIS is your favorite game on the list? Are you mad?

i am definitely biased towards multiplayer games as that is all i play nowadays, plus they had so much more replay value and good memories compared to single player games. super mario kart had such premium on turning skills combined with fighting abilities in-race, that i just remember lots of great battles against friends. there were more unexpected outcomes in mario kart than others on the list, and that's what i come to associate great games with nowadays. doom would be in my top five also, for multiplayer reasons.

i mean the disappearing blocks over lava level in mega man 2, that was a lot of fun to beat, but it had to do with repitition and planning, and i may have only done it once before i was satisfied.

mario kart 64 was a great game but i didn't play it as much as the original. you're right there were a lot of big improvements, especially graphically. i am biased against all games in those later platforms due to the joystick controllers. you make me rethink my pick though - in truth it is hard to say which of these is my favorite...

actually i may have enjoyed fzero more than either mario kart...

No way dude. Blaster Master was way ahead of it's time. That was an incredible game and I think having it on the list was a good touch. The top 64 teams in the country don't always make the NCAA tournament.... uh oh, I am talking about sports now. I must be a dumb jock!!!!

Maybe Populous II, then? I feel like an idiot for not including Ninja Gaiden but I don't know who should have come out for it.

Maybe. I think you included enough of the top PC games (X-Com, Doom, etc.) and maybe could have left off Populous.

haven't read the responses yet, but these brackets could be better or something. Asking a question like punch out or mario kart just isn't fair to do to someone. Castlevania or FF come on.

There are sooooooooooo many good games on this list, those aren't the only two really tough ones.

I guess i wasn't really around for the nominations in this poll and maybe i'm missing something; but the simple fact that both Duckhunt and Blades of Steel arn't here is unforgivable.
