Greetings Bobak, mods and fellow NG.com members,
It seems like most of the "Best of" threads involve... well, heavy doses of drama, lol. And that's perfectly cool, as drama is often the fuel for most epic and memorable threads.
However, may I suggest a thread that has ZERO drama, but flourishes in other important areas that I feel is worthy of hitting the "Best of" list.

It's my
SSM proudly presents... "The Top 50 SEGA Saturn games" thread from late 2003-late 2006. Allow me to make a few points for why I think it deserves in if I may. And before I begin, just a useless but perhaps somewhat interesting stat I wanna share: at nearly 20,000 views, it is second in terms of views only to the infamous MAK thread in the "Best of" list
Rather than start telling you why I think it deserves inclusion, I'll just share some user comments within the Top 50 Saturn games thread and which I think speaks (and lobbies) for itself:
A must read thread for all the video games fan.
For Steve.
*stands up and applauds*
Bravo, Steve! That was one of the best threads I've ever read. It truly captured the essence of what the Saturn was all about, and it reflected your passion (as well as other fans' fervor) for the underrated console.
I've seen this thread a few times before today, and even scanned over it a little. But today, I woke up and I was in a "sit down and soak things in" kind of mood. One of those mornings where you like to wake up slow, not get right into things.
Well I got on the computer, and after browsing Unrelated, I decided I was going to read through this entire thread.
Wow.
This is by far one of the most interesting threads I have ever seen on this website. Seriously man, it's great to see so much love poured into one topic.
There has never ever been another thread on this site that came even close to being as great as this one. I'm sad it's over
Thank you Steve, for all your hard work and interesting insight into the second greatest console of all time (sorry, the DC is still #1 for me
)!
Q-
Just wanted to put a thank-you into the end of this thread, one of the best ever made. I've read through the entire thing at least three times now, just savoring all the classic goodness of the era of the Saturn, which to me was really the last gasp of the old hardcore spirit of the 16-bit era.
bump for one of the very best unrelated thread evar.
i have to say this might be the greatest thread in the history of this board, this is what internet forums were made for.
lol this is the thread that simply wont die. it seems it pops up like twice a year then settles back as quietly as ever. and every damn time it comes up i read through the whole thing again.
This thread deserves a bump
or even better yet, a sticky
Thank you for your time and consideration.
