List

I thought a good starting point would probably be gathering a list of these retro games, not only the ones I used to play but my peers and families eperiences with them too. I want to make sure I dont spend my entire time looking at these games, although important, I want to stick with the idea of glitchy/pixelated imagery, hopefully finding some really interesting images, facts and other random things for inspiration and design progression.

But back to the list, I started with those I could remember, asked my friends and family, working my way up to the world wide web. I didnt want to just jump straight on the internet to find a list, I wanted to see how many of these iconic games came to the table (so to speak) purely from their iconic history.

Tetris

Pong

Donkey Kong?

Space Invaders

Street Fighter

007

Sonic

Zool

PacMac

Bomberman

Mortal Kombat

Duck Hunt

Super Mario

Final Fantasy

Metal slug

Asteroids

Breakout

Legend of Zelda

Snow Bros.

Contra

Chrono Trigger

Secret of Mana

Snake (forgot about that one)!

Frogger (and that one)!

Asteroids

Centipide

Missile Command

Doom

Sim City 2000

Mega Man

I'm sure there are loads more out there that need to be considered, but it's got me wondering about a title to choose for my title sequence - 'top ten retro games' could be a bit simple, I could probably pick ten from this list that could be considered 'the top ten', although it's more about the visual investigation and design process so I won't ponder on it just yet.
