One question,

will you be grouping for example Outrun Online Arcade and Outrun 2006 under Outrun 2?

I love the style of the Virtual On series, but have never really been good at it, so it didn't really spring to mind. Truthfully there are a ton of excellent games that can't make it into a list of 25... trying to make a list helps me appreciate what Sega has achieved over the decades.

Hmmm... that is a tricky one. In the case of something like the Virtua Fighter games, I'd group all revisions under the core game. Same with After Burner and After Burner II and Galaxy Force and Galaxy Force II.

So when it comes to OutRun 2, there was later OutRun 2 SP which I'd deem a revision.

OutRun 2006 is split into two parts: A faithful conversion of OutRun 2 SP (which itself includes the OutRun 2 levels), and "Coast 2 Coast". I guess that could be deemed an additional revision. OutRun Online Arcade, meanwhile, is partially based on OutRun 2006 and contains the fifteen courses from OutRun 2 SP.

If it is alright with all of you, I will deem OutRun 2 to include OutRun 2006 and OutRun Online Arcade, with the latter two thought of as revisions and ports.

Added a revisions rule to the first page.

I plan on pimping this out on the front page next week, perhaps allowing list submissions in the comments in addition to here.



---


So putting this list together proved to be difficult, and I might tweak it tomorrow as I feel making it at work during my lunch break wasn't the best idea. Weekend Barry thinks very differently from Work Barry. Anyway, it's tough as in the back of my mind I'm thinking "you gotta make the best of all time list!" but in the end these are my personal favorites. I love Panzer Dragoon... but there are about 25 games I enjoy even more. Just goes to show SEGA's quality output over the years.


25. Seaman (Dreamcast)
24. QuackShot: Starring Donald Duck (Genesis)
23. Ghostbusters (Genesis)
22. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (360)
21. Daytona USA (Arcade)
20. Fighters Megamix (Saturn)
19. Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast)
18. Sonic Generations (360)
17. Crazy Taxi (Arcade/Dreamcast)
16. Streets of Rage 2 (Genesis)
15. Panzer Dragoon Orta (Xbox)
14. OutRun (Arcade)
13. Space Harrier (Arcade)
12. Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)
11. Samba de Amigo (Dreamcast)
10. Rez (Dreamcast)
9. Jet Set Radio Future (Xbox)
8. Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast)
7. NiGHTS into dreams… (Saturn)
6. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (Genesis)
5.Shenmue II (Dreamcast)
4. Shenmue (Dreamcast)
3. Phantasy Star Online (Dreamcast)

If I had to make a purely subjective list, it would probably look something like your's, Barry. Mine was mainly just a "which are the best from a design standpoint", not really from a "which do I like best", standpoint. If that were the case, Jet Set Radio would've definitely been #1.

Unless I missed something I'm really surprised Ristar hasn't been mentioned yet.

Glad to see the original Phantasy Star Online getting the recognition it deserves. What it accomplished at the time was unreal.
