Games you remember for anything but the gameplay!

[tapedeck]

For those who love Sonic R's music (we all do, right?) some of it features in SEGA's all-star racing game. (Woot!)

 

Personally I adored Cool Spot when I was a lad - The music and mental levels were sublime. The concept of being small was great too. Kinda like The Borrowers.

 

Buster Busts loose = classic SNES title.

 

I also loved Earthworm Jim for its animation/mental levels and character design. Some of the design was really fresh - like the Pete the Puppy level and the bungee jump level. Quality. Was nails for a young 'un though. I also love(d) Aladdin on the SNES - It's like a Disney version of Prince of Persia. (I actually preferred it over Virgin's beautiful looking MD version.)

 

I miss the days when Capcom and Konami could muster a sublime 2D 16-Bit title. At least Capcom are still a quality developer. Konami...Becoming a one-trick pony after relying on PES and MGS for so long. Now PES is poor I worry for them. *Off topic!*

 

Oh...I LOVED Sleepwalker on the Amiga. Kid asleep and his yellow dog had to protect him. How fresh an idea?!

I loved OCEAN's output on the Amiga too!

Yeah Sleepwalker was awesome! remember they randomly released a comic relief related demo as well that had everyone wearing red noses. Yeah OCEAN brought out some quality Amiga games: new zealand story and even mr nutz lol.

Ok you CANNOT say something like that without providing more details! *bounce*

 

I did notice the first stage of Sonic Heroes´ music in the trailer which made me excited, but this is even better

[Debug Mode]

Sonic R. That ridiculously cheesy music.

 

I was with a mate the other day on a train and Living in the City suddenly came to mind, how out of place was that music eh? I think the Singer must have slept with a lot of employee's..

Super Putty for SNES comes to mind. I used to end up in such a rage from frustration at the gameplay, but i kept going back to it. The little sticky noise the putty made when he jumped was ear candy. *tries to think of other reasons for torturing myself playing*...

Yes was cool more for the characters than the actual gameplay...like the terminator carrot...
