66 Myth history in the making
65 180

Oh man this kills me!
Myth is easily a top 20 game, and you've put it below a bloody darts game!

I must admit that my mate and I had far more fun playing 180 than we did with Myth.

When I post mine, you'll probably want to redo yours!

[vanpeebles]

I was never a Myth fan anarl. Might have to try it again one day.

[jdanddiet]

I admit nostalgia is playing a big part in my list. And while I appreciate Myth and enjoyed it a lot, I played 180 a lot with my Dad and that brings some very happy memories.

[Morkin]

Heh - I was going to comment on the low placing of a couple of games, but I figured if a game I rated top 10 appeared at 60-something in someone else's list, it still means they rate it highly (just not as high as some others)..

[RWAC]

What if they placed it below Kosmic Kanga?

64 The Sentinel
63 Movie

[uglifruit]

Those games are both amazing.
There are not 62 better games. (Prove me with)

[RWAC]

I've tried to play the Sentinel so many times.
I've even been told exactly what to do but I still don't know how to play it! I move a cursor around the screen and that's about it. I can't do anything else!

[Morkin]

For me, Movie is marred by its icon control system. I'm not sure why it was necessary to make what could've been simple controls frustratingly difficult to use.

And I'm with [mention]RWAC[/mention] re: The Sentinel - I think I managed to absorb a thing or two, but found it completely confusing and couldn't get off the first level.

[RWAC]

I'm glad I'm not a alone!
I couldn't even absorb a single thing!

[Joefish]

You can only absorb stuff in The Sentinel if you can see the square it's standing on. You aim at the floor tile, not the object.
Same with creating a new body to move into. Aim at the floor tile, make a new body, move into it, then turn round and absorb the old one. You can actually pile up as many rocks as you like (if you have the energy) and put a body on top of it high up in the air, and if the Sentinel can't see the square at the bottom, he can't hurt you.

Though I prefer Archipelagos on the ST; similar vibe but real-time movement.

This. Movie would be a lot higher if Dusko hadn't gotten carried away with his icons....

...Even if you could switch between icons without the selector highlight swinging about everywhere, that'd be a small improvement...

[Juan F. Ramirez]

Using the gun is one of the most annoying moments in the game because of this.

[akeley]

Icons, or no icons, Movie is a top ten game.

That is all

...That's coming from someone who enjoyed playing Kosmic ('effing) Kanga, which immediately puts a big question mark over your general state of sanity...

Any arguments over today's game, no.62, Rex by Martech.

I have never played Kosmic Kanga I'm sorry to say. I should correct that so maybe it can make the list one day!
