Now that SGMs are shipping and more people are going to be looking for games I thought this might be a good thread to start so everyone could list their top favorite SGM games to help out others who might be looking for ones to buy. While I know that not all of them are currently available, I'm hoping that Pixelboy and CollectorVision might consider making another run of their titles if there is enough interest. Here's my favorites....

The Goonies - Team Pixelboy

I loved the NES version of this and this one is also awesome as well! This sort of platform/action/adventure game is something that I had always dreamed of having as a kid on the ColecoVision and it's an AWESOME game!

Mappy - Team Pixelboy

One of my all-time favorite arcade games! While the ColecoVision version is a very, VERY good port it is missing the "bonus levels" but even still I love the game and the rest of it is VERY fun and "plays just like the arcade game." This is one game if I had on the ColecoVision as a kid, I would have seriously played it until the cart broke!

Majikazo - Team Pixelboy

Inspired by the Namco game "Toy Pop" this original MSX game that was ported to the ColecoVision is a FANTASTIC game! So many levels, puzzles, awesome graphics, music, etc. Again, playing through this game it's hard to believe that a title like this is now available for the ColecoVision! I've already put in quite a few hours into the game and I plan on putting in more!

Galaga - CollectorVision

Another game I wished I had as a kid and this is a VERY faithful version of the arcade game. Hoping that CollectorVision still has these available because it's a "must have" for anyone that has an SGM!

Rally-X - Team Pixelboy

I know, I know... I'm a sucker for arcade ports! As someone who was 11 years old in 1981 when Rally-X was released in the arcade I played a LOT of this game! And then I later played it's clone "Radar Rat Race" on the Vic-20 and C-64. Would have loved to have this on the ColecoVision, and now I can! Great arcade port!

Honorable Mentions...

Mecha-8/Mecha-9

The only reason why these two games aren't in the list above is because you technically *don't need* the SGM to play them, but they are enhanced (sound) by the SGM. In short, you should own these games even if you DON'T have an SGM! Seriously some of the best homebrew games...wait no... because ColecoVision games I've played period! So much fun! Great shooters with awesome graphics, music, sound FX, cut scenes, end level bosses, power ups, etc, etc...

Juno First

I am listing this here because I'm hoping that it will help convince Eduardo to release this as an actual title instead of a prototype cart release. This was a GREAT Konami arcade game, while with the ColecoVision lacks some of the over-the-top graphic FX, it's a GREAT GAME! Such a fun shooter that is very faithful to the arcade version in terms of gameplay. I think this game deserves to be in more people's hands. What do you say, Eduardo?

There you go... My list of favorites. And there are many other really good games (All the ADAM Super Game Ports, Chaos Begins, Kings Valley, etc...) and it was hard to choose a handful, which IMO is a great problem to have!

What are YOUR favorite SGM games?
