[VOL RN]

[rpvol]

road rash was awesome.

 

[DC Vol]

yes. yes. yes.

 

[BCSsucks]

who didnt love battletoads?

 

[KCVolLaw]

This brought back some memories. Road Rash, Tomba, and Primal Rage FTW.

 

[SWIL]

Double Dragon.

 

[DownNDirty]

I don't see why Road Rash wouldn't be perfect for EA Sports Big lineup along with Mutant League Football. Those two definitely need to be brought back.

Road Rash... Now that was a cool game. I would spend so much time upgrading my bike, and then trying not to give up the chain. I liked how it felt to wrap that thing around some poor sucker's neck and sling him backwards. The "Thwock" of the baseball bat on someone's skull as they went limp and slumped off their bike was also satisfying.

 

[MG1968]

gotta love Killer Instinct, especially those multi-hit combos that ended with your opponent splattering against the tv screen.

Earthworm Jim should make a comeback as well.

 

[Vol Mania 21]

double dragon was the s**t back in the day

 

[BearCat204]

Mega Man FOOLS!!!!!!

 

[SmokeyVol]

Anyone remember Trog? I compare it to Pac-Man

 

[Vol1312]

Hell yes we need some mutant league football!

 

[SWIL]

Hell yes we need some mutant league football!

effing CO-SIGN!!!

Bring back Mutant League Hockey too!!

 

[SWIL]

Bushido Blade was awesome too. It was the most realistic fighting game ever.

One shot kills with swords, just like in real life.

 

[cibai]

Dark forces!!!

 

[bdarnell]

HAHA Primal Rage! I was trying to think of the name of that game like 2 weeks ago!

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Megaman needs to make a comeback.

 

[orangestorm]

I will go old school, Kings Quest was a great game we played it all of the time in my school.

 

[kev20]

Road Rash was great on the 3DO. So was Way of the Warrior, with the White Zombie soundtrack.

I vote for Super Ghouls and Ghosts. I used to play that game alot when I was a kid. One of the hardest games I ever played.
