It's just occurred to me I haven't given you a single image of Tarma yet.

Geo CD game as well, which is a newer version of the console which came out a few years later in 1994.

Geo game and I want to talk about the system! I suppose it's also technically the first time I've covered a Neo.

In my defence, this is the first time I've ever covered a Neo Uh, I should apologise to you for mentioning so many years in one paragraph, it was a bit excessive. Geo was tough to kill, as they were still making 2D Metal Slug sequels for the same hardware as late as 2003, long after the N64 and PlayStation had been replaced.Geo MVS arcade cabinet and AES console both predate the Super Nintendo by a few months, so this could've potentially come out as early as 1990 and still looked just as good.That's the same year that Super Mario 64 and Tomb Raider came out, and 2D had already started going out of fashion a couple of years earlier, with Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA hitting arcades in 1993 and Donkey Kong Country faking 3D in 1994. I was a bit surprised when I saw that the game was released in 1996, as it's a bit later than I expected. Video bailed me out (spoiler, it was #1). I did the research, searching through dozens of top 100 lists from magazinesĪnd websites, and none of them had the game ranked high enough! This game almost ruined my 'top ten list' gimmick right at the start, because I struggled to find it anywhere. I should warn you that this article will contain flashing GIFs, so if that's an issue for you, then you probably don't want to scroll down much further. This week on Super Adventures, I'm playing the legendary Metal Slug, as seen in arcades and on the Neo So to help limit your expectations, here's some links to a few of the legendary titles I've already covered during the last decade:Īrcade, Neo-Geo, Neo-Geo CD, Saturn, PSX, PC Plus I've already played a lot of the games that tend to show up in these lists, especially the console games, so they're out of the running. It's not a flawless plan, as it means I'll be writing about games that everyone already knows about. Most of the time I'll be getting them from some 'Top 10 Objectively Greatest Video Games Ever Made' list I've found, but maybe I'll throw in something from a list like 'Top 10 Most Embarrassing Movie Tie-Ins' or 'Top 10 Shovelware Releases on the Wii' every now and then to keep things interesting. well, games that have made into the top ten of somebody's rankings anyway. Super Adventures is mature and respectable now, so I'm going to play only the very finest games.

I figured I should celebrate ten years of my site by giving year eleven a theme, and that theme is 'Top Ten'. It's Super Adventures' 10th Anniversary today, which means it's time for a shiny new logo and a shiny new gimmick for 2021.
