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.

I'm actually kind of surprised that the Tiny Toons game didn't do that well. Maybe this was just one of those games were the presentation carried it back in the day.

Games for this topic:

Battle of Kingdom
Ishido: The Way of Stones
Milon's Secret Castle
Monopoly

Ponta to Hinako no Chindouchuu

A fair number of games here that also appeared on NES. It's sort of nostalgic. I still remember when we covered Milon's Secret Castle for NES, though sadly those reviews have been lost to time.

I'm happy to see CTR pull in the big ratings even after this many years of PS1 GAB. While not the highest number of votes (which remains 17 for Spyro 1), it's still a pretty respectable number.

Games for this topic:

Aztec: The Curse in the Heart of the City of Gold
Miracle Jim no Bassing Beat
Rally de Europe
Oujisama Lv1
Pong: The Next Level
Warpath: Jurassic Park

Rally de Africa was one of my favourite early finds from GAB, so I'm happy to finally cover the sequel. I also initially thought we had already covered Pong The Next Level, but that was instead Breakout, so I'm curious to see what they did with Pong.
