DFF's Top 10 Classic Video Games

I like the list fine. I would have personally added RE4 in contention.

Serius-ly Joking

The original Zelda came out on the Japanese Famicom Disk System years before the NES. I don't think there was a Japanese equivalent to Nintendo Power. Miyamoto has said that the game was made cryptic to encourage a community discussing all of the discoveries and secrets organically.

DownrightSuperb

Just got done watching Snes vs Genesis, PS1 vs N64, this. Already watched the lamest video games. I guess Format Wars and Dungeons and Dragons is next.

Alex from PA

If there ain’t no Zelda I ain’t watchin it bitch

Audsters

What about ff x

Chad A. Witz

let's go this road.

Apocalyps Diamond Sparks

Blizzard...Respected... who's gonna tell them?

Rane932

Goldeneye's multiplayer was tacked on as an afterthought and designed by a guy who had never done one before, crazy considering how great it is. (Edit: Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is my #1)

Stewart Thompson

No Baldur's Gate? pft... fucking GAY.

Keggerous

I'd love nothing more than to see a rematch of the Super Mario Kart gauntlet. Just get absurdly drunk and go at it. Could be fucking hilarious.

The Shaky Surgeon

Play the Super Mario Brothers Lost Levels and you’ll be feeling the pain of a masochistic level designer. Not that they are impossible to complete, there are just moments that make you want to deep fry you’re controller.

Pleb22

One of the best DFF episodes so far

Zayo Dadong

This is one of those DFF episodes that you know you'll find yourself listening to again at some point. Entertaining and interesting episode from start to finish.

Matthew Barfield

Oh, and the MAN FESTIVAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk2ZX190YaA

Elizabeth Ann Duffy

Thanks for bringing back so many memories, guys! I grew up with a lot of the same gaming experiences. Although, I didn’t get to partake in the PC games as much, with the exception of Star Craft, and that was probably 4 years after its release.

Josh Jones

No SPYRO or SPIDER-MAN for PS1 era?

I'll grant you that it's not the sort of high functioning analytical challenge of a complex city builder or strategy game but to assert that fighting games are just totally mindless is pretty disingenuous. Anybody who has played more than a couple hours of one against their limited circle of friends can tell you that if you go into most fights just blindly mashing buttons with no regard for what your opponent is doing and how to best counter it; you'll get your ass kicked and then thoroughly laughed at.

Josh Jerome

troll

Mark Sweeney

I can’t believe they cut silent hill 2 in favor of resident evil 2.

Grands Bouts

Paul's fondness for mindless hack and slash fighting games is yet more evidence for his pitiful intellect.

Maya Balsich

After this past deep fat fried and this episode you gotta DFF Runescape

Steven

All of these ancient games suck ass.

Maya Balsich

Great episode. FF VII IS THE GOAT!

Tim M

Gonna need another SuperBowl Ad reaction episode this year strictly for the Rick & Morty Pringles commercial.

Chris Mann

TJ should stream himself playing stuff. Like how he's recently going through witcher 3. Would be a fun experience.

ez

Fuck none of you played conkers? There’s literally a mode where the nazi bears have to machine gun down fleeing French people

Rants n rambles

Long shot here, but can you guys do Super Bowl Commercials Part 3?

Fred Funkledunk

I don't really see how you can say FF7 is the best when it's trash by today's standards. You can at least play RE2.

Zakkuri

Nobody cares

Kid Wizard

1. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 2. Shadow of the Colossus 3. Chrono Trigger 4. Super Smash Bros. Melee 5. Pokemon Gold/Silver 6. Resident Evil 4 7. Megaman X 8. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door 9. Final Fantasy 10 10.Prince of Persia: Sands of Time ---------------------------------------------------------- Honestly, half of this list should just be Zelda titles, but I went ahead and just picked Majora's Mask as my favorite. There is nothing more satisfying to me than completing every single task this expansive (for it's time) game has to offer. Dark tones, eccentric characters, dungeon puzzles, fox quizzes, 4x the instruments, Super Saiyan Link, constantly monitoring a doom clock, obsessively collecting every single mask--there's just too many great things to mention.

Nocs

The Metroid one actually isn't as on purpose as you might think; they worked down to the bone trying to get the game done on time.

Robert Wolf

Though I will suggest he try 2 as the Necromancer. That lazy fuck will be reveling in his summoned armies doing his work for him in no time.

Japester

TJ saying Diablo is boring subtracted about half of my respect for him.

Japester

Solid list. My only gripe is Half-Life missing. 1. Doom 2. Half-Life 3. Super Metroid 4. Diablo 2 5. Starcraft 6. Final Fantasy 3 7. Ocarina of Time 8. Morrowind 9. Halo 10. World of Warcraft

Aition

No Resident Evil 4 for ps2? !!!

David

Love the episode guys thank you. Two things though, Earthbound is not to be trifled with and Fallout 2 needs to be on there. But it’s your list, well done. The highlights of the episode were definitely when you guys were making the list, had me laughing so hard.

Altamonty

@TJ I would definitely recommend you play Grandia II. It's only $20 on steam and it's well worth the money. It's a classic RPG with an amazing story, hot demon girls, and an extremely relatable main character. It has such an amazing story too, and it's battle system is top notch, all about strategy. It's my favorite game of all time, to be honest.

Dream Mix

I like list sometimes, this video inspired me to think about the games I played in the 90s and early 2000s. 1. Dragon Age Origins 2. World of Warcraft 3. Golden Sun 4. Zelda: Ocarina of Time 5. Doom 6. Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit 7. Super Mario: Legend of the Seven Stars 8. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 9. Super Mario 3 10. Super Mario 2

Friedrich

Metal Gear Solid 3 is absolutely the best in the franchise, paul is just a boomer

Soviet Stache

“Blizzard owns PC gaming, it is one of the most respected PC gaming companies even to this day” I realize this was pre-recorded but that did not age well haha

Mecha

Make the dick song NOW!!!!!!!

Seb dahl

i love rayman 3!! the fist power ups and general aesthetic of the world was and is so cool to me. ppl give so much clout to rayman 2 but the third was fantastical and goofy in all the right ways

Hassan Sabree

10. Fallout 2 9. Diablo 2 8. Paper Mario 7. Final Fantasy 7 6. Halo 2 5. Super Mario World 4. LoZ Link to the Past 3. Ocarina of Time 2. Super Mario 64 1. Super Mario Bros. 3

Joe Toft

CLICK CLICK CLICK.

PESSIMIST PRODUCTIONS

Re4 was a great game. These lists always make you feel bad that you leave out some truly amazing games.

PESSIMIST PRODUCTIONS

Soon hopefully!

PESSIMIST PRODUCTIONS

We would love to but inevitably we'd get hit with copyright bullshit.

PESSIMIST PRODUCTIONS

One of my personal favorites Resident Evil 4 should have at least been mentioned. It released in January 05’ for the GameCube, two months before God of War.

Tito Manfredo

how long until Scotty's rick and morty shirt gets fused to his skin.

Brianna Camp

Yall should do 10 worst classic video games.

Agarikon

btw the music of Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, etc etc the SNES JRPG is in a big way what made them so special and memorable

c0lt

Sometimes Scotty is so hammy i have to skip through him BUT i do think he makes really good episodes

c0lt

I made my own list and most of them are just for the fun factor They are mostly games from the 2000's seeing how i played mostly games from that Time Period, but seeing how we had a time period limit I took my favorite games inside those barriers The Tetris Pic is not ironic I genuinely love Tetris 1. World Of Warcraft 2. Rayman 3 3. Super Monkey Ball Deluxe 4. Warcraft 3 5. GTA San Andreas 6. Pac Man World 2 7. Burnout 2 8. Kirby's Dreamland (1992) 9. Puzzle Bobble 10. Tetris Gameboy

DFF=Games You Love

Jkinfo

Dude you literally play pokemon.. Just let people have their opinions. 😂

GXTHCHYLD

How much is real? So much to question. An epidemic of the manniquins containing everything. If thought came from the heart it never did right from the start. Just listen to the noises...........

This comment says

would have been rely cool if you showed a little game play of each instead of still images

Over stuffed

It never makes any lists, but if you can give Shadow Hearts Covenant a whirl. Rasputin as a kick ass villain and he has a dominatrix side kick. Plus your main party has a wolf in it, and if you keep subtitles on you get to see into his mind.

Elizabeth Ann Duffy

Blizzard has cloned and simplified winning game formula's since the early 90's you mean right? they had a moment in the sun with WoW, but now they are just a activision money machine. WoW, hearthstone, milkcow's and diablo they fucked up. the only thing blizzard does now is make eyes roll.

Ivan Peeters

I Bought Diablo 2 a couple of years ago at a swapmeet but never got around to playing it. after watching this episode of DFF I finally decided to give it a shot and I am currently just past the part where you freed that old dude Deckard Cain and what I have learned from my experience of playing, is that TJ is completely right and the game is just clicking.

Matthew Jackson

You guys should play through the Resident evil 2 remake

Nick

Im playing god of war right now.

Jonathan Jones

Damn, I thought the AVGN was making that shit up about Castlevania SOTN having the castle turned upside down. Never played that one.

Christopher Borra

Maybe because I really didn't get into games until Pokemon came out and the N64 but..A mario game in the top 10? 🤮

Xinic5

Lol. The Legend of Zelda/Metroid cryptic bullshit = terrible games. Metal Gear Solid's cryptic bullshit = genius. Classic Paul.

Clyde Frog

Champions: Return to Arms for Ps2 was the shit.

Kenpachi Zaraki

Honestly I would love if you guys managed to play some of these games together.

Daniel

Abhaddon, blizzards been making games since the late 80's early 90's. and are still a highly successful company. Not sure where the "oops" lies. If you don't like their political stances or their games that's fine, but you can't alter reality because of your opinion.... Oops.

brent sonier

Well fuck it, I'm convinced

Xinic5

No smash bros?

Notjustklownin

"Blizzard kinda owns PC gaming, still to this day, probably the most respected and longest-lived PC developer out there." ...Oops.

Abhaddon

TJ was thinking of TMNT 2 on NES. There were 3 of them on NES. 2 and 3 were co-op and more like Turtles in Time.

Smack Millan

Cool ep for the buffet gorgers

William Wheeles

Hey, you guys! DFF = The Half baked scams and failures of Tj, Paul and Tj's brother.

Zygote

I can't wait to completely disagree with this list and get my nerd rage on.

Dep

Where's Old Man McGee? I'd love to hear his take on these new-fandangled doohickies.

Hieronymus

It’s time for me to be the first nit picky asshole I guess. Here’s my Personal Top 10 and the Top 10 that deserve it. I’ll do personal first. And I will make my cutoff date 2000, since your rules basically forgot the original Xbox & GameCube. I also won’t include any PC games except for one (since it was the best FPS of the 90s by design). Alright, let’s go. PERSONAL 10. Super Mario Bros. 3 9. Pokémon Gold & Silver (yes, I’m a weeb). 8. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars 7. Earthbound 6. Final Fantasy 7 5. Super Mario 64 4. Gunstar Heroes 3. Super Mario World 2: Yoshis Island 2. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 1. Super Metroid The Top 10 From Industry Professionals based on Impact & Design 10. Super Mario World 9. Super Mario Bros. Original 8. Half Life (best FPS of the 90s, no contest) 7. Final Fantasy 7 6. Super Metroid 5. Metal Gear Solid 4. Chrono Trigger 3. Super Mario 64 2. Street Fighter 2 1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Hypnotic Visionaire

I wish House of The dead was on this list

Alessander

“ Let me show you how a pro does it” had me laughing so fucking hard. Every friend I had would say that as a kid

Bo Prince

Imma gonna take a crack and say that chrono trigger will be on the list and to be fair, I played it pretty recently and thoroughly enjoyed it

Lloyd Llewellyn

Imma

Lloyd Llewellyn

Mega Man 3 is above Ocarina of Time? Huh????? Ocarina of Time (even if it isn’t your favorite Zelda Game) changed everything for the gaming industry. And unlike MARIO 64, it holds up very well & it’s 3DS Remake is still my favorite 3D Zelda. Mega Man was a great series on the NES. And I will concede that it’s probably the best Non-MARIO Series on the NES. But if you compare the two, Ocarina of Time is just far more impactful.

Hypnotic Visionaire

You guys really skipped the xbox? Booooo

Notjustklownin

Now I want a review of the castlevania Netflix adaptation I know I’m giving it another watch

Joshmyninja

Tomb Raider

SyN City

FFVI and X are my childhood.

Neebsz

I know right! I've heard they've got the best video games in town.

Enlightened Vatnik

Should have played video game underground as the intro

Matthew Jackson

Maybe something about streaming or esports or just how crazy in depth and good looking games are today.

Alex Dutton

Can you guys do something on modern video games? Were not all actually boomers its just a meme.

Alex Dutton

I sold a complete in box Earthbound for $500 a few years ago...I now regret it.

Notjustklownin

Agree with Paul on Zelda. It didn't get good until the SNES

Notjustklownin

New DFF is what I needed!

Vermin_Antichrist

Anything outside of the 90's would probably be awful as they clearly did not keep up with the medium. There's been a shitton of games you'd have to spend and these guys are busy living their lives, so it would probably just upset people lol.

Avity

I know there is at least one classic that they wont mention...gotta fry em all

Zane Roberts

I was having a really shitty day, but this completely salvaged it. Thank you

James Hamilton

Fuck yeah, I've been waiting for more video game content would be sweet if you guys did the 80's, 90's, 2000's, and 2010's

Notjustklownin

Pitfall

The Mollusk Rising

Spy vs spy

The Mollusk Rising

projecthorn

The Mollusk Rising
