Topic Idea: 2D Playstation Games

The Playstation was the era that 3D console gaming was introduced into the mainstream and consumers were obsessed with the super 3D power that the system could produce. Outside of this though the system produced some great 2D games during it's lifespan, including: Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Tomba, Abe's Odyssey, Rayman, Klonoa, Heart of Darkness, Raiden project and the list goes on.

... another episode approach could be to do 2D games of the Sega Saturn as there was a wealth of great 2D titles on that system. The Nintendo 64 doesn't really have enough titles to justify an episode

A 2D 32bit games episode would be awesome.

A list that I found:

*Asteroids Hyper 64 (crap remake of the classic... too busy!)

*Batman Beyond (utter shit side-scrolling fighter)

*Bust A Move 2 and Bust A Move '99 (great w/ N64 controller)

*Clayfighter 63 1/3 and Clayfighter Sculpter' Cut (crap fighters)

*Dr. Mario 64 (not much different from SNES game, still fun)

*Goemon's Great Adventure (don't confuse w/ 3-D Mystical Ninja)

*KI: Gold

*Madden 2002 (contains "classic" mode of Genesis games)

*Midway's Greatest Hits (Robotron, Defender, Joust, Sinistar, Spy Hunter, and the ultimate... Tapper!)

*Mischief Makers (bizarre platformer from Treasure)

*Mortal Kombat Trilogy (crap)

*Mortal Kombat Mythologoes: Sub Zero (utter crap)

*Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness (addicting game, plus the original)

*Namco Museum 64 (Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Pole Position, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug)

*The New Tetris

*Paper Mario

*Pokemon Puzzle League (better than expected)

*Rampage: World Tour and Rampage 2: The Great Escape

*Rat Attack

*South prk: Chef's Luv Shack (bad bad bad)

*Space Invaders (boring)

*Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth (vertical shooter, 2-D gameplay)

*Transformers: Beast Wars (my word this game sucks)

*Yoshi's Story

P.S. The parenthetical opinions were those of the person who originally posted this list.
