The Top 100 SEGA Games - Discussion

[Barry the Nomad]

I've been grinding through these. It takes time, but I hope to have these tabulated by November!


Some teases:
Number of SEGA games mentioned: 184
Number of lists counted: 26
Number of lists remaining: 37
Most popular game (so far): Sonic 3 & Knuckles

Good news, bad news time!

As evidenced I have dropped the ball on this. My excuse is that 2016 was very busy, between moving, buying a house, getting a new job, travel, other site stuff, etc. My plan was to have this all compiled and released by mid-2016. Voting lasted until early/mid 2016 so I could get as many lists as possible, and the turnout was much more than I expected. The good news is, 2016 was a dry year for SEGA, so the gap really hasn't skipped any potential list making games.

HOWEVER with SEGA starting to release some really great games in 2017, my plan is to have this done and posted up with fancy game descriptions and such by March, to get it up and posted before Sonic Mania, Yakuza Kiwami and Valkyria Revolution release. I also hope to get some interestined data out of it, like most popular franchises, most popular games by console/decade, etc.

As such, consider "Our 50 Favorite SEGA Games" to cover SEGA games from 1980 through to December 2016, with anything after that missing the list deadline (so don't expect to see Yakuza 0).

NEXT WEEK

[Berto]

Cool.. But why do we have to wait for a week? Why not now? 

[Barry the Nomad]

I'm going through the 100 descriptions for grammar and am making sure I listed all the dates and platforms correctly, also I plan on adding hyperlinks for each game title so that people can click over to articles about the games.

But the Top 100 will post Tuesday regardless of if I finish the above and I'll just continue to clean it up over the week.

I'm really looking forward to the read

Is Crazy Taxi 2 better or worse than the original?

Is Crazy Taxi 2 better or worse than the original?

Personally I didn't like it as much because the city layout was more grid-like and flat. I missed the big hills and curving roads from the original. Overall I liked Crazy Taxi 3 the best, because it had the original map plus the crazy hop from 2, so you could go driving on rooftops. But if I had to guess I'd say the original is going to rank highest on the list. As for now, only Barry knows for sure. He's been guarding that knowledge like a dragon sitting on a pile of gold and jewels. Next week, we step into Barry's mind!!!

I'm also curious to see Jet Set Radio vs. Jet Set Radio Future.

I was unaware that there was a three. I'll have to check it out.
