The Top 10 Multiplayer Experiences In Gaming

November 10, 2008 in Top List comments 10

SlapStic.com caters to the hardcore with this article detailing what it believes to be the top 10 SPECIFIC multiplayer experiences in gaming. As in one vs. one 4 stock matches with items turned off on Final Destination in Super Smash Bros Brawl. That's hardcore, my friends.

1. Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow (Game Boy)

2 Players
Trading Pokémon

I don't care what you say. If you never traded Pok émon with another dork, your life is incomplete, and actually means nothing to me. Whenever there's like a big earthquake in Indonesia or whatever, I don't care because I know that all those mushed Indonesians probably never experienced the joy of trading Pokémon. Their lives were worthless. I remember the excitement in the air as me and my friends would hook up that crappy link cable and then go through to way-overcomplicated process of trading the little buggers. Every time some loser got a Machoke he'd call your house wanting to trade, since that was the only way to evolve it into... uh... Machamp? It's been forever. I name Red, Blue, and Yellow specifically since those games represented the golden years of Pokémon. Sure, sure, it's still popular or whatever, but not like before. Back in the good ol' days, if you didn't have a Charizard card, you might as well not have a crotch.

That's what was magical about Pokémon. Enemies and friends were made entirely because of it. No other game has ever had that kind of impact. That's why I'm putting the original Pokémon games at number one. If you question my logic I'll kill your dog and burn my name into your lawn.

    That's batshit stupid and you know it.

    This list has merit for putting Halo so low though. Brilliant.

    Just a suggestion, could you please not quote the number 1 on your top10 list? I enjoy the countdown on such lists and instead of quoting number 10, you quote the first...

    JUST A THOUGHT! Not getting up you..

    It's Pokemon, as if you wouldn't quote that. Only fools wouldn't, fools I say!

    I heavily disagree with Brawl, I thought Melee was miles better. But before you start lets agree to disagree.

    Using the first 3 pokemon games on this was brilliant. Hell I sometimes loved Yellow over red and blue. Only cause I liked Pikachu following me.

    Pokemon? No one in my entire country plays that game, any of the pokemon games for that matter. Unreal Tournament 99' has over 1000 servers with thousands of players online at any given time, i know because i play it, and in my opinion the most perfect FPS ever. CS 1.6 has even more servers and more players. The fact that these games have not ben included in the list, proves to me what a idiotic list this is.

    Oh man, I feel terrible because I only really heard of/played ONE of those things in the list. And it was . . . alright I guess.

    Pokemon on the other hand . . . I guess I was too old to get into that craze when it hit.

    pokemon pearl and diamond is far better than red/blue in terms of multiplayer (and just about everything else, but whos going to admit it?).

    online connectivity, much deeper stat system (makes for much more strategic, interesting battles), and an enormous variety of pokemon trade other than the base 150 with only 3 or 4 version-exclusive pokemon which needed to be traded to be obtained in the orginal.

    Definitelly Melee had more of an impact then Brawl on Final Destination.
