GAME asks for your favourite game of all time
UK based retailer GAME is asking anybody and everybody to vote for their favourite video game of all time. Unlike a lot of ‘Best Ever’ votes where you have to choose from a list of crappy over-rated games, you actually get to name any game ever made. Which is pretty cool.
I think it would be a good idea to take this opportunity and try to get a Sega developed (or published) title in that number one position, or at least in the top ten list.
Well now Sega Nerds, it would be a great time for all you NiGHTS, Outrun, Streets of Rage, Guardian Heroes and Panzer Dragoon (plus all the rest) nuts to come out of the closet and get voting!
While you get to name any game you want, you are given a list of consoles to choose from. What is very annoying, although not surprising I’m sorry to say, is that the only Sega console listed is the Dreamcast - yet they saw fit to include to include the likes of the Atari ST and nearly every Nintendo console under the sun. (Good enough systems, but where’s my Megadrive?!) However, all is not lost, as you can also choose ‘Other’ and input any system of your choice.
If you are wondering “What’s in it for me?” Well, shame on you the thought of potentially bolstering support for Sega games should be enough.
But if that isn’t enough, GAME are giving away 1 million reward points to a random winner. And if you actually want that to mean something, that translates into a cash sum of £2,500 (nearly $5,000) that you can spend on anything in the GAME stores or at the GAME website. So not too shabby eh?
On a personal note I chose Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Sega Saturn, because it has been my number one since the day I bought it. So if everyone could try and get that into the number 1 position, that would be super :)
Closing date for the contest and voting is May 22nd. Get to it Sega Nerds!

How can you tell them the greatest game when the greatest console is not there?
They are idiots to include failure consoles yet no MD. Do not advertise for them.

Yeah Kogen, they are a bit retarded for not including a load of decent consoles.
But you can just type in any console not on the list. I personally hope they get a whole flood of Megadrives and Saturns flooding in to them (though I doubt it would happen that way).

Seaman, dude. Seaman. Kidding. I think Virtua Fighter 2 or 5 would do well. Panzer Dragoon Saga is a good choice, and so is Burning Rangers. Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, the House of the Dead (series), Panzer Dragoon Orta, Sonic Adventure, Jet Grind Radio, and Shenmue are all good choices too.
I suppose if Super Mario Bros. is in the top ten, Big Bumpin’ and E.T. also need to be in the top ten.

Voted vor Spikeout Digital Battle Online Final Edition (SEGA MODEL 3 STEP 2.1).
Essentially a meaningless vote, but hey gotta be honest. Those graphics in 1998! 4 player(combo’s), good music and a deeply balanced fighting system.
