from the 16 bit era (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Turbo Duo etc...) and explain why you like them.

My three favourites are:

Contra 3: The Alien Wars (SNES)
Sunset Riders (Arcade and SNES)
Castlevania 4 (SNES)

Contra 3 has awesome graphics and sound for its time and the game is incredibly fun despite its tough difficulty :) I remember practicing this game non stop when I first bought it and to this day I still have not finished it on it´s hardest setting. I always loved Sunset Riders in the arcade and being that the SNES version was pretty accurate compared to the coin-op I like them both. While not graphically superior to Contra 3, it is just as fun with some very challenging bosses. There was a Genesis Sunset Riders, however it is not like the coin-op. But it is a good game in it´s own right. Castlevania 4 is still an amazing game despite it being a little outdated compared to the awesome GBA titles. However, this game still stands out as one of the great original SNES games. The games action starts off a little slow, but after a couple of levels it picks up the action and can be quite challenging. The music is still very impressive today.

That's a tough one actually. I like so many Konami games. I would have to say I like:

1. Snatcher
2. Beatmania/and other Bemani Games
3. Old Konami shooters, Lifeforce, etc

Man that is a hard question, I may have to think about that and post again :)

Only three, eh...

Uh...

Gyruss (arcade) - Cool game, great music, in fact one of the first games were music was as important for me as gameplay.

Yie Ar Kung-Fu (C=64) - Very nice button mashing fighter, 80s style. Sounds were awesome, too.

Castlevania New Generation (Genesis) - nothing more to say.

Castlevania 1
Suikoden
Hard Corps....

but these are just the first three that came to my mind. So many more. They were the kings back in the day.


Konami is also responsible for one of the best batman games ever: Adventures of Batman and Robin. Its a classic.

Contra
Suikoden
Beatmania

They're was one game but I don't think Konami made it. It was an anime from Fist of the North Star and you had to punch to a patterned light aka DDR to defeat your opponent. It's a tight game and it is quite challenging.

Hmm... 16-bit Konami?

There's so much.

1) Dracula X (PCE): I liked Castlevania, but this one really brought all of them back home for me. It really is the king of the old-style Castlevania's

2) Axelay (SNES): I like all of Konami's shooters so picking only one is just so difficult. Twinbee (PCE) was great, and the Gradius, Lifeforce and Parodius series was fun. I'm guessing that the different play modes is what got me into this one. Hmm.. I should borrow my X-roomate's SNES to play this again. :p

3) Cybernator (SNES) (Argh, forgot the original Japanese title). Can't go wrong with a mech game. (Did Konami had a hand in that LucasArts game where your character could get out of his mech and walk around the base, and steel other mechs. All mechs had special abilities,e tc. I'm trying to remember the name... "Metal" something I think.)

1.> SNATCHER
---Because it's freggin' awesome as an adventure title of the First Person Comix style! I don't care if things are more virtual now, I still prefer this kind of game!

2.> Super Contra
--- It has the best feeling on all of all the Contra games IMO. It's more advanced than it's original, but not as insane in the C.P. department as Hard Corps or Spirits or even "SS". Though I love those games to death as well.

3.> Metal Gear II: Solid Snake
---Greatest of the MG games IMO. All others ripped from this one.
