--- Quote from: CheffoJeffo on April 28, 2011, 10:10:11 am ---I said that the success of SF2 resulted in ops, who were already hanging on by the skin of their teeth, feeling like they had to buy every new game that came out "just in case it was the next SF2". A clearly unsustainable business model after 1983.

What's worse than this, is that everybody who did NOT jump on that ship thinking that most of those games are pretty similar (which is true) lost a LOT of customers due to them seeking out "the next big thing". Why stay here and play plain Jane Street Fighter 2, when there is HYPER Street Fighter 2. Or Super Street Fighter 2, or Super Street Fighter 2 Hyper edition.

Fair enough.

like I said , subjective. I actually pulled Rygar off the list and while Karnov was the first boss in Bad Dudes, I dont really think his game was "classic" =). Im not worried about adding games to the list, the original poster said name ONE game, as if there werent any.

I don't consider those games classics.  I stand firm in my belief bubble.  you cannot pop it.

I'll trim the list to the most famous 9 (IMO)

You saying that :

Arkanoid (1986)
Contra (1987)
Double Dragon (1987)
Golden Axe (1989)
Out Run (1986)
Raiden (1990)
Rampage (1986)
Smash TV (1990)
Tetris (1988)

NONE of those are classics? I mean I dont even remember what Tetris was. Who ever heard of Contra?

/lame you cant admit you were mistaken or just made a bad point you thought was valid at the time. Kinda glad you never posted at the fort now.

I'm not disagreeing with your overall statement, but for the simple sake of arguement Tetris and Contra were not classics because of the arcade. You can thank the NES for immortalizing those two.
