Mr. Ghost is the most underrated MSX game; Which is the very best MSX game ever?

Topic: Polls

Five weeks ago we started looking for the most underrated MSX game. After the nominations and five rounds of mega-polling in our forums, four games remained to battle on our frontpage poll. After 180 votes, these are the results:

1. Mr. Ghost (33.33%)
2. Firehawk (Thexder 2) (28.89%)
3. Magical Kid Wiz (20.56%)
4. Higemaru (17.22%)

Now, the time has come to find out which is the very best MSX game ever. The top 2 of the Best MSX1 game ever megapoll, the top 2 of the Best MSX2 game ever megapoll and the top 2 of the most underrated MSX game megapoll will now meet in a frontpage poll to find out which one is the very best of them all. You can decide which game is going to become the very best MSX game ever. Happy voting!

Eurm.... I think that's quite obvious already...

quite unfair to see mr ghost competing with firehawk and especially 4 konami's!

Estimated order of poll results:

SD-Snatcher
Maze of Galious
Metal Gear
Penguin Adventure
Firehawk (Thexder 2)
Mr. Ghost

I will not make any estimates on numbers.

Yeah, where's Illusion City? And Xak III? And Princess Maker?

The best MSX game ever would be Solid Snake or SD-Snatcher... that's obvious to anyone.

uh, yeah...
This is kinda funny... but not HAHA funny(!)

IMHO this will not present a fair and accurate look on what game is really voted to be the best MSX game, besides personal faves.

Why are games like MG2, YS, XAK, IC etc. etc. missing? just because they didn't make it in the best msx2 game poll? So now we have excelent Konami games competing with some other brands/msx1 games/underated games... pretty unfair I think.

But all and all the winner will still be SD-snatcher, no doubt (just check the stats)
well I've voted for Maze Of Galious (surprised??) I had the best time playing that one!! (yeah, MSX1 baby)

Too bad Rander III is nowhere to be found .. very playable game..

By Latok on May 12 2004, 14:46

Aaaaaah come on! When we started all them megapolls, we already had the idea to let the winners all compete against eachother to see what'll happen

By BiFi on May 13 2004, 11:22

Well, the result is too predictable. SD-Snatcher will win with at least half of the votes.

By cax on May 17 2004, 13:32

I agree - even if we will find the most unfair way of comparing, SD Snatcher should win.
Just because it's the best.
