Games that Sell a system?

Postby Alienblue » April 17th, 2008, 1:15 pm

No, I'm not talking about "System sellers" per se, I mean...

Are there older, collectible systems without a LOT of games or great games , but there are ONE OR TWO GAMES ALONE that make it worth owning, even if you never want another game for it?

I think that for METAL SLUG fans, buying an NEO GEO POCKET COLOUR is worth it just for MS 1 & 2 alone. If you find other NGPC games you like that is just a bonus.

I think every sane gamer should have access to a GBA to play all the SUPER MARIO ADVANCE games, period. And:
GAMEBOY: QUARTH, TETRIS
Gameboy color: Worth it just for SMBDELUXE & LINKS AWAKENING.
(also POKEMON PUZZLE aka PUZZLE LEAUGE)
Atari 5200: CENTIPEDE & JOUST
7800: CENTIPEDE & PAC MAN COLLECTION
COLECOVISION: LADYBUG
ODYSSEY2: KC MUNCKIN & KRAZY CHASE & PICK AXE PETE
SNES: SUPER MARIO ALL STARS & TETRIS ATTACK
GENESIS: THUNDERFORCE SERIES
PSONE: BUST A MOVE ONE, TWO, '99
TG16: GALAGA 90
SATURN: DARIUS GAIDEN
DS: PLANET PUZZLE LEAUGE & so help me, WORD JONG!
PS2: various collections and TOCA RACING

Okay...I cannot think of any single games worth owning a 2600, Xbox, PSP or others. The 2600 and xbox have a zillion great GAMES but they are available, better, on other systems. But I'm sure someone will disagree!

This is too easy....(though I'm not a huge fan)

Xbox:  Halo

If you ask me, this system may have died without Halo.

I had an XBOX but never bothered with "Halo". It was "Ninja Gaiden" that sold the system for me.
