Where’s Waldo in the Land of Blur?
[ From Compute’s Gazette for Commodore Users, June 1988 ]

Street Fighter II, of course. And to pick a specific version, Super Street Fighter II Turbo from 1994. Not any more original of a choice than a Mega Man title, but still accurate.

Megaman II

hmm.. It’s a toss-up between Section Z (I THINK that’s Capcom), Commando, and Bionic Commando.

Ghouls ‘n Ghosts for the Genesis.

Bionic Commando for the NES! I still play it today; cool, unique gameplay.

I really enjoyed 1942 and Commando when they came out, but Ghosts n’ Goblins is my favorite pre-Street Fighter game.

I’d have to say Magic Sword on the Arcade/SNES. One of the first arcade games I really remember getting into. Years later I found the SNES port and couldn’t be happier.

Dungeons & Dragons- Tower of Doom
Pure greatness.

Duck Tales!

It’s difficult to say because there have been some sort of singularity happening sometime between 89 and 91 where Capcom suddenly became blessed with some sort of divine powers and they kept churning out dozens of awesome arcade games year after year.

Capcom made all the classics, and still do. Besides Mega Man I loved Commando, Bionic Commando, Code Name: Viper, Duck Tales, Ghosts n Goblins (or ghouls n ghosts, whatever), Section Z, Capcom Bowling (for every hour I did laundry, I played this game), and the Street Fighter series. And were not even going to get into after 1995… I’d vote Capcom as one of the best 3rd party publishers of the past 20 years. EA wasn’t anything until Genesis, but Capcom been going strong since the NES, and in arcades. You can’t deny them that.

Commando and Ghosts n Goblins are personal favourites of ours.

i can’t seem to remember what Capcom has produced during that era. is there a list somewhere?

I played “Bionic Commando” like crazy when it first came out. I still play it on my NES emulator to this day (and YES, I DO have the original cartridge) and have yet to be tired of it. One of the most unique games that ever came out for the NES, a system that had a lot of originality.

Duck Tales, all the way. Chip and Dale RR was quite good, too. I mean, crap, Capcom made a lot of stuff pre-1995. But those would be my NES favorites.
