The "Essentials" of GBAtemp Best games selected by our members

Originally started by GBAtemp member bitbyte, the "Essentials" topics are basically a list of the best games for a specific console. Members post names of their favourite games for a system, and the topic starter compiles all the votes into a single post. - Handhelds ll NINTENDO DS  [Essentials] Nintendo DS - by dice  [Multiplayer Essentials] Nintendo DS - by Minox_IX  Homebrew Essentials - by Dylan  The Most Under-rated NDS games - by TheStump ll GBA  [Essentials] Gameboy Advance - by dice ll PSP  [Essentials] Playstation Portable - by dice  [Essentials] PSP Homebrew - by Little ll Game BOY & Game BOY Color  [Essentials] Game Boy & Game Boy Color - by Destructobot - Current-Gen consoles ll WII  Wii: Essential Games List - by Hadrian  WiiWare: Essentials - by Hadrian  Virtual Console: Essentials - by Hadrian ll XBOX 360  [Essentials] Xbox 360 - by Prime ll Playstation 3  [Essentials] PS3 - by deathfisaro ll PC  [Essentials] PC - by juggernaut911 - Other systems - Sony ll Playstation 2  [Essential] PlayStation 2 games - by test84 ll Playstation (PS/PSone/PS1/PSX)  [Essentials] PlayStation (PS/PSone/PS1/PSX) - by Just Joe - Other systems - Sega ll Dreamcast  [Essentials] Dreamcast - by Dj-Biscuit ll Sega Saturn  [ESSENTIALS] Sega Saturn - by TrolleyDave ll Sega Genesis/Mega Drive  [Essentials] Genesis, Mega Drive - by BitByte ll Sega Master System  [Essentials] Sega Master System - by Destructobot - Other systems - Nintendo ll Gamecube  [Essentials] GameCube - by jph ll Nintendo 64  [Essentials] N64 - by Linkiboy * Currently inactive - if you wish to take over updating the list check here. ll SNES  [Essentials] SNES - by Bitbyte ll NES  [Essentials] NES - by iritegood * Currently inactive - if you wish to take over updating the list check here. - Other [Essentials] Board Games - by Gore [Essentials] TV Series - by bangbanger [Essentials] Anime - by Extreme Coder [Essentials] Movies - by Veristical Blaze [Essentials] Manga - by GameSoul Your contribution to these topics are welcome!

Some were started quite awhile ago so why report about them now?

and some aren't updated anymore.

I think this is one of the reasons dice posts this again, he wants to lure more people into the topics (preferable older topics)

And I'm not Gay anymore.

Didn't you get the memo?

In all honesty I was trying to update Costello's post (that was linked in the site index) but cocked it up in the process, so thought doing it again would be a quicker solution and would enable better advertising.

As for the inactive threads I was planning on messaging the members in control to check whether they were sill able to keep it up to date (as was the case with the [Multiplayer Essentials] Nintendo DS thread).

Today is a rainy day. I will honestly force myself to update the homebrew essentials topic. I know many don't really care about it but I just don't wanna seem lazy.

Didn't see multiplayer essentials for DS earlier. Thanks Dice.
Only one thing: first part should be "Handhelds" or something like that, not "Other systems - Nintendo"

[dice]

[Gore]

You added Essential Board Games.

Anyways this was just the topic I needed as I had been thinking about reviving and updating the page anyways.

[Hadrian]

If anyone isn't updating particular threads then I will if possible.

[Minox_IX]

I could also update another one if it relates to my interests.

Virtual Console: Essentials - by Hadiran

Shouldn't it say Hadrian and not Hadiran?

spelling typo's ftl , thank you

I'll see if I can contact those who seem to be inactive in terms of updating the lists, those who say they don't wish to continue doing it I'll list here for others to take over.

[dice]

Well I've just sent messages to those who haven't updated their lists in over 2 months (some go as far back as early 2007! but they're still active members so I have to give them the chance to respond).

One thread that's almost definately not going to be updated by the OP anymore is the [Essentials] Dreamcast list.

So if anyone wishes to take over that thread post here (or via PM) and things will be taken from there.

* EDIT - what great members we have here, Dj-Biscuit's offered to take over the thread so no need for requests please. If other lists become available I'll report it here.
