Wow, I expected to get some pushback for my opinion about Pac-Man, I certainly didn't expect most people to agree with it. Though clearly superior due to the availability of colour, the NES version scored 81%. Of course, that was around 13 years ago, and I wonder if it would fare less well today.

Games for this topic:

Centipede
Fortress of Fear: Wizards & Warriors X
Harvest Moon GBC
Minesweeper
Pocket Stadium
Pri Pri: Primitive Princess

Although I'm listing this under the GBC version, the GB and GBC versions of Harvest Moon 1 are nearly identical and you can rate based on either version. This also goes for Centipede, which also has a GBC version which is basically the same.

Street Sk8er 2 - AAA - 50% (3)

A pretty highly rated topic this time. Maybe I should watch some of Hunter X Hunter at some point, it's a series I have almost no familiarity with.

Games for this topic:

Beat Planet Music
Capcom Generations
Galaxy Fight
King of Bowling 3
Langrisser 4
Shellshock

Quite a few games here that we've already covered on Saturn, but as always they may have differences from the Saturn version (and Langrisser 4 in particular has some very significant differences). There's also a fan translation available for Langrisser 4.

It's interesting to compare the performance of the different versions of Puyo Puyo across the GAB topics. The SNES version got 43%, the Genesis version got a whopping 77%, and now the GB version gets 50%. It just goes to show, Dr. Robotnik makes anything better.

Games for this topic:

Home Alone
Rampart (GB)
Pac-Man
Patlabor: The Mobile Police
Torpedo Range
World Ice Hockey

Please note that the GB and GBC versions of Rampart are totally different, so make sure you're rating the original GB version for this topic. I'm also kind of interested to try out Patlabor, after seeing a number of games based on it over the years.

Wow, this topic was a smackdown for games based on old TV shows. The results of this topic were pretty much the exact opposite of what I predicted.

Games for this topic:

Croc 2
GP Challenge
Hunter X Hunter: Maboroshi no Greed Island
Logic Pro Adventure
Soukyuu Gurentai: Oubushutsugeki
Street Sk8er 2

A few sequels to games we covered very early in the PS1 GAB in this topic, which means I'm going to have to go back to the originals to refresh my memory on them.
