It feels so weird seeing Madden be a carry title on the retro systems considering the reputation it would later develop. It was really solid back in the day!

Starhawk
WWF Superstars

When I first saw Blodia I figured it would have some connection to Cyberbots (it's the name of Jin's mech), but it turns out it has nothing to do with it, it is in fact so named that because it's a simple rearrangement of the word "Diablo", which is the game's title on most other platforms. My mind is blown.

Seikoku 1092: Souheiden - AA - 50% (2)

There were 3 PS1 sequels in this topic and all 3 rated higher than their predecessors, which was interesting to see as I didn't especially expect it with Bust-A-Move 99. Kid Klown is a sequel as well, though it actually scored the same as the SNES game.

Games for this topic:

Champion Wrestler: Jikkyou Live
Hebereke's Popoitto
Kart Challenge
Pandemonium 2
Spec Ops: Covert Assault
Treasure Gear

We've got a couple more sequels this time with Pandemonium 2 and Spec Ops: Covert Assault, so I wonder if the trend of them scoring better will continue. Treasure Gear also looks like kind of an interesting game.

It's kinda nice to see some redemption for Monopoly after it's been dunked on for all these years, both on GAB and elsewhere.

Games for this topic:

Jungle Wars
Madden 95
Maru's Mission
Missile Command
Pagemaster, The
Super RC Pro-Am

I've wanted to cover Maru's Mission for a while due to its hilarious boxart. Also, after covering many early sports games, here we have a sneak peek at a later one in Madden. Missile Command has a GBC version, but it's pretty much identical except for colour, so you can cover either one.

Even after 200 topics, things you never expect can still occur, like Cryo Interactive having the highest scoring game in a topic. I was also kinda surprised that Rally de Europe placed higher than the original.

Games for this topic:

Blast Lacrosse
Bust-A-Move 99
Gun Shooting 2, The
Jet Moto 3
Kid Klown in Crazy Chase 2
Seikoku 1092: Souheiden

"The Gun Shooting" is easily one of the best titles of all time. It's even more hilarious that there's a sequel! Speaking of games that I'm surprised got a sequel, we also have Kid Klown. This should be a fun topic.
