Double Dragon is my favourite arcade game too! I have great memories of playing it on holiday as a child and the music blew me away! Great list and comments thanks. Best wishes.
Yeah even with the slowdown issues and the stupid elbow exploit DD is one special game its probably the most important video game ever made to me as it is the one that brings the memories flooding back
Great video and I'm sorry you had trouble with your laptop! I think the thing about Mario was that up until then you had 2 types of platform games. Ones that require pixel perfect jumping. (Not knocking it, they have their own charm ) and others where your character felt skiddy. Mario for the first time you fully felt in control of him. I mean there's a million other reasons why mario was so good but they really nailed the controls from the start making it.
wow.. no Baulder's Gate, Diablo, Doom, Heros 3, Bubble Bobble, Eye of the Beholder, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Wizardry 8, Rock n Roll Racing, Streets of rage, Theme Park.
And no Simcity, Civilization, Lucas Arts or Sierra adventure or Command & Conquer or War-/Starcraft either. It's a massive list of console joypad wigglers and nothing else.
Great list buddy and for the most part i have fun with a lot of these games, my best moment was with Golden Axe in the arcade with my mates put 1 credit in and boom game completed i felt like a super star haha. Did think Final Fantasy 7 (1997) would of got on the list as that is my all time fav game. Take it easy buddy and roll on the next video :-)
I definitely protest. It's a home computer console list and it's almost all action games. Best games ever without Civilization, Simcity, any Lucas arts Adventure, any Tycoon game, Baldurs Gate, War- or Starcraft, Doom and many many others? You must be joking.
@@raggeragnar No need. your preferences are fine. But when thinking of making "Best games ever"-List, strong personal preferences are not helpful. Call it a "My favourite games of all time"-list and it's great. I do find the video title quite misleading, as I am not a regular viewer and had just been getting into the channel.
Resident Evil 1 was a game changer! Yes I loved all the classics before it like Super Mario bros, Yoshi, Sonic, Mortal Kombat, Shinobi, Krusty fun house etc but RE1 did something more for me. Idk it just kept my attention. It was interesting & the puzzles were amazing 👏
Oh for sure. It was so deep and exciting. It was the first time I played a game with such a rich storyline. Like you said, there were amazing games before it; but Resident Evil was like the beginning of a new era to me. And at the time I remember being blown away by the graphics, which is kinda funny in retrospect but it was a different time.
You were indeed bold at making this list. More than "Nintendo-washed", like I said in my first comment, video game history is "console-washed". No Jumpman, no Dizzy, no Armalyte, no Turrican, no Leisure Suit Larry, no Maniac Mansion, no Commander Keen, no Duke Nukem, no Doom, no Ys and so many, many others. Is good to know this is an old video, I hope your view on retro video games has broaden over the years.
Excellent retrospective, as always. 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻 However, minus points for not mentioning the 8bit version of Sonic (like you did for other games on the list). 😔
Loved games such as Pac-Man, old school Mario Bros, Rastan, UFO Robo Dangur, Karnov, Galaga, Gyruss, and so on. Those were the days and those were the arcade games to play.
My local arcade has so many of these classics is original cabs (some w updated lcd screens however)- DK, Pac Man, Dragon’s Lair, Outrun II sit-down cab, Tron, The Simpsons, Rampage.....
The Simpsons used to be in a cafe which was right at the bus stop in my local town, we went to go to places but most often just spent the whole time in there playing it then got on the bus and went home lol
I would have added: Contra/super contra, ghosts'n goblins, ghouls'n ghosts, black tiger, rastan, vendetta, final fight, tekken 3, king of fighters 95/98, samurai shodown 2, art of fighting 1/2, ikari warriors, mercs and shinobi. (all arcade versions)
Great list OSG. I’m not a big platformer fan but have to acknowledge how great the best Mario games are (I was blown away by Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii). I never had a Dreamcast but it looks like it had some quality games for it.
Harking back to the good old days when there was innovation, originality and games that gave you a chance to play them for hours on 1 credit. Last time I was in an arcade every game had a gun of some sort attached to it or was a racing game. Great video with a little something for everyone. I think you have covered most of the bases and barring people personal favourites there is not much to argue about. I would have had Defender and Robotron 2084 from the arcades, Paradroid and Wizball from the 8 bits. Granada X and PGA Tour Golf on the 16 bit consoles. Speedball and Populous II from the 16 bit computers.
@@richardcranium4830 I loved Speedball but thought Speedball II was over rated. Speedball just concentrated on getting the ball in the opponents goal. It was just pick up and play fun
@@geoffreyjohnstone5465 Fair enough we all have the games we love. Did you ever play GOAL! on the Amiga that was a great footy game better than sensi in my opinion.
Great list, OSG. I think the only ones missing IMO are Joust, Afterburner and Speedball 2. BTW, I miss your commentary! Much prefer it over subtitles, which distract my eyes away from the game play. Otherwise thi, great vid, please do more.
Just starting to watch vid now but hope to see Amidar at some point! If not and it was one that’s passed you by, well worth a look :) Edit: ah nvm, misunderstood which kinda list this was to be!
Hey! the old style, Old Style Gaming. I remember it well, I liked this format with the scrolling text, it was so retro looking. Don't get me wrong m8 yer new stuff is much better and more polished. These old ones are still great though :)
Oh and i havent forgot your question about what was my stand out 5 games from the hidden gems...im reliving them as I make the hidden gems app (creating the video snaps for each game) Lions of the Universe is defo gonna be among that 5 though
Dragon's Lair was awesome, but by favourite laserdisc arcade game was Astron Belt, at least as far as actual gameplay was concerned. Dragon's Lair was pretty much more of an interactive cartoon.
First time i just scrolled through your video.. what can I say. I thought you were a Commodore man.. so you got it all wrong my friend. 🙏🙏🙏😉 Do not get me wrong great games. The best games EVER ... ohh myyy... 😂😂
Love them or hate them they are so important when it comes to retro games ...they pushed the boundaries to another level. out of all them now there is only really Super Mario 3 and Super Mario Kart that i would pick up and play
I was probably 4ish when I first saw my friends play the original Mario Bros. in the late 80s and it absolutely blew my frickin' mind. To this day I'm still very impressed with the whole experience's replayability. Played the HELL out of the first 4 titles.
A tough list to make with some debatable choices over others (personal taste). I think rpg, strategy games were left off and I can t understand why tetris is not there.
Built off some popularity lists, but definitely missing some absolutely fantastic arcade games that you wouldn't know to add unless you had lived through it.
Double Dragon is a lot of memories for me, and I sort of have mixed feelings about it. In the mid-nineties I used to go to a public swimming pool that had 2 arcade games, (original) Mario Bros. and Double Dragon, and I played them a lot and got really good at both games. Eventually, I discovered that all you have to do in DD is move to a different vertical plane than your enemies, turn around and throw an elbow with P+J, rinse and repeat until it's over. I think maybe it is the only arcade game I have ever 1CC'd. I have a lot of nostalgia for it, but I also wonder if the gameplay can really be considered "good" if a game has an easily accessible exploit that turns it into a cakewalk.
Couldn't agree with your sentiments on soul calibur more as I too own a dreamcast and it and wow is it still awesome. Even soul edge on the ps1 controls well if it looks janky. I am not as big a fan of shmups but I do love galaga a lot. I agree with a lot of your picks though I would have given gran turismo an honorable mention
Some amazing games, Double Dragon & Golden Axe were my all time favs. Street fighter & Sonic were next level. I still remember my Mega Drive with Sonic I got for Christmas off my mam 💜 I never played Metroid, and never liked Mega Man!
Στην αρχή, έπιασες ακριβώς τα games εκείνα με τα οποία ξεκίνησε η όλη ιστορία. Ακριβώς εκείνα που θα διάλεγα κι εγώ, ως κύρια, και πιο χαρακτηριστικά. Αν και ξέχασες ένα. Βασικό. Το πρώτο - πρώτο: Το Pong!
Sonic 2 as honourable mention lmao. It's not just one of the best retro games ever it's one of the best platformers ever made and still holds up way better than games like Daytona and tomb raider.
Please help. I'm looking for a game I played years ago... It's a simulation game where you play as a wooden sail ship captain (I think exploring the Americas) where you choose your crew. The view is inside the ship and you can go from room to room to talk to different crew members. The cook tells you how much food and water, on deck the bosun or first mate tells you ship condition, water depth, sea state etc.. The quartermaster tells you about crew morale... You can choose when to anchor and go ashore to trade with locals (if there are any), or hunt for food and collect water. I can't remember the system it was on or the name but I remember being completely addicted
@@oldstylegaming Thanks for the fast reply. Wow it's really similar to the DOS game Exploration: Voyages of Discovery but didn't have the view of the world from above.. I almost got really excited! I played it on a J-tagged Xbox360 with DOS, Amiga, SNES, and a few other emulators that I can't remember. I hope this helps, but the game you mentioned looks really fun aswell, I'll attempt to give it a playthrough. Thanks again, you got a new subscriber for life!
Hi no if you read the description this is a video from my old channel before i deleted all my content, reason being my laptop died 4 days ago taking everything i was working on with it, I now have it fixed though and am trying to catch up but dont want to not upload for too long so ive uploaded this
Some good games are missing from this list: Snow bros (I & II) Metal Slug (early version) King of fighters (early versions) 3 Wonders Puzzle Bobble Super Pang
A nice list but a very weird one. A) it's only console games while the 90's were the heyday of PC gaming, te title should acknowledge this, leading to B) it's only platformers, shumps, fighting games and shooters, with the occasional RPG. Very narrow genre mix, 99% action games. Call it "My personal favourite home computer/console games ever", fine. But the title as it is is terribly misleading, leaving quite a number of actual best games ever completely out of the picture. I was quite disappointed after watching.
Do you remember side arms that was a great arcade shoot em up and then there was terra cresta amazing games. I tried to recreate side arms on the Amiga using Amos B.A.S.I.C could never get it to run smooth enough using BOBs and always had problems when trying to use sprites.
Loved side arms on Arcade it was in my local youth club...i wasnt no good on shoot em ups back then and the directional change was a nightmare...im good at it now though....... you still have that Amiga work?
@@oldstylegaming Sold my Amiga 500 to my friend who used it to make tunes (Big Regret) when i was 19 got hold of a CD32 in my 30's with a lot of original games and i put it up for swap on an Amiga forum for an A1200 but got screwed sent off my CD32 got back a parts A1200 didn't even have a disk drive so i am now using emulation.
Talk about history being Nintendo-washed! I thought you'd focus more on Europe, especially after seeing Elite there. Some of these games were not even played outside North America or even the US. Best Castlevania? Depends on what you consider "Castlevania".
Sega Rally was great...in fact still is, a lot of these games maybe havent withstood the test of time but SR you can pick up and play today and its still as good as it was back then..in fact most Sega Racing games are still really playable, thats one of the things i was working on and have lost when my laptop broke..i was doing every sega racing game from way back until present day...i had over 70 videos recorded ..... you have just me me sad now you have mentioned that :-(
Also you missed out sega rally on the Saturn easily one of the best arcade to home port driving games ever made . Trust me I played the heck out of it in the arcade and at home on the Saturn.
I’ve played every game on this list and I love them all. You really have a good taste in videogames! Thanks for the awesome memories!
I think every in this Time, when you Played Videogames. Then defintely one of this Games!
This is a really good list man. I'm always watching these to find something I had missed. I haven't missed any of these games unfortunately

I tried to recreate side arms on the Amiga using Amos B.A.S.I.C could never get it to run smooth enough using BOBs and always had problems when trying to use sprites.
Loved side arms on Arcade it was in my local youth club...i wasnt no good on shoot em ups back then and the directional change was a nightmare...im good at it now though....... you still have that Amiga work?
@@oldstylegaming Sold my Amiga 500 to my friend who used it to make tunes (Big Regret) when i was 19 got hold of a CD32 in my 30's with a lot of original games and i put it up for swap on an Amiga forum for an A1200 but got screwed sent off my CD32 got back a parts A1200 didn't even have a disk drive so i am now using emulation.
No Final Fantasy VII? Not many games made a lasting impact like that one.
how old r u dude....?
Talk about history being Nintendo-washed! I thought you'd focus more on Europe, especially after seeing Elite there. Some of these games were not even played outside North America or even the US.
Best Castlevania? Depends on what you consider "Castlevania".
No Half-Life?
Super👍
Sega Rally and pinball for me
Sega Rally was great...in fact still is, a lot of these games maybe havent withstood the test of time but SR you can pick up and play today and its still as good as it was back then..in fact most Sega Racing games are still really playable, thats one of the things i was working on and have lost when my laptop broke..i was doing every sega racing game from way back until present day...i had over 70 videos recorded ..... you have just me me sad now you have mentioned that :-(
Sega Rally was great.
Game Over Yeah! lol
You forgot the Gameboy games ❤❤❤❤❤
Also you missed out sega rally on the Saturn easily one of the best arcade to home port driving games ever made . Trust me I played the heck out of it in the arcade and at home on the Saturn.
I have it on Saturn its a great game
Gotta have Mortal Kombat in there
No sign of King of The Monsters 1 or 2 anywhere. Not even a single SNK game can be found here.
After years playing dodgy European platformers; Super Mario Bros blew my mind at the time.
Yeah, mine too
really? 22 years of video games and not a single non-arcade or non-console game made it unto this list?
that's really weird mate
played most of them, but, where's soul reaver? 😉
