With a loveable cast of characters, huge variety of locations to explore, and spectacular airship battles, #SkiesofArcadia is one of the greatest #JRPGs ever made. If you want this #Dreamcast masterpiece in the Video Game Hall of Fame, like this post! #Sega #GameSky #RetroGame

#SonictheHedgehog first mainline 3D title was an absolute triumph of speed and style, and it has a true banger of a soundtrack to boot. Have 3D #Sonic games ever been better? If you want the Blue Blur’s #Dreamcast classic in the Video Game Hall of Fame, like this post! #Sega #GameSky

The arcades thrived on great beat ‘em ups, but #Sega wanted to create one for the home, and they made an all-timer with #StreetsofRage. One of the most stylish and quintessentially #Sega games ever made, if you want it in the Video Game Hall of Fame, like this post! #Sega #GameSky #MegaDrive

Serving as the perfect jumping-on point and arguably the series’ apex, #Yakuza 0 tells an incredible story whilst being stuffed with some of the most enjoyable nonsense you’ll ever play.

Gruesome gore meets 80s action sci-fi (and heavy RoboCop references) in Midway’s classic, relentless twin stick shooter Smash TV.

There's no doubt that Treasure's classic vertical shooter revitalised a dying genre and remains one of the finest, most creative shooters ever made.

Hey man, not everyone is big enough to do that these days, so it’s genuinely appreciated. It’s tough with these short messages to convey why a game is HOF so hyperbole is a sad necessity - and I take your point that it was probably a bit much in this instance.

Mate it’s just a quick post trying to get people to vote on a game for our podcast. A podcast I’m sure you’ve never listened to as you don’t follow us on here either. It’s not deep enough to argue over.
