Destrono’s Top 10 Crossover Games
It’s been a while since my last Top Whatever List post. Well, guess what? In addition to this one, I have 4 more coming up to go in between each of my next 4 editions of System Failures. How’s that for more activity, ReDead (lol) & company?

Top 10 Ninjas of Gaming
My end of Ninja-thon (marathon featuring ninjas) has come to a close with the conclusion of Shinobi 3, so I’ve found it appropriate to do a top 10 featuring my favorite ninjas. Now I haven’t played EVERY game featuring ninjas, so if your favorite isn’t listed, or isn’t in a spot you think they deserve, don’t throw shurikens at me! Ninjas that did not make the cut will be highlighted in my “Could have made it” section. Pirates suck and ninjas rule! Let’s get this started. Note: There will be a small spoiler involving Gray Fox in this list. Read at your own risk.
20 Of My favorite Sega Genesis Games
In celebration of Sega Genesis’s 20th anniversary, I am going to list 20 of my favorite games for the system. I like a lot more than 20 Genesis games, but I wanted to narrow them down…to 20. On with the list!
#20 – Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker
While staying up hours (watching news coverage) after the King of Pop passed away, I decided to beat this game on all difficulties in tribute. After staying up till 7 in the morning, I still wasn’t tired. Guess shock prevented that in a way. Still fun today. 
#19 – Tiny Toon Adventures: ACME All-Stars
I can’t count how many times as a kid I’ve playd this. Had to be more than 20. Heck, I still play it today on occasion. It’s that fun.
#18 – Mickey Mania
Hardest. Mickey. Game. Ever.
#17 – Tiny Toons Adventures: Buster’s Hidden Treasure
Plays like Sonic in a way.
#16 – World of Illusion: Sarring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck
Best.Mickey.Game.Ever. My opinion of course.
#15 – Vectorman
Sega’s version of Mega Man. Awesome.
#14 – Dynamite Headdy
A game centered around puppets? Cool beans!
#13 – Comix Zone
While hard and short, it’s still a blast.
#12 -Ristar
Sega, bring him back!
#11 – ToeJam & Earl
Jammin’!
#10 – Super Hang-On
Outride A Crisis, brah.
#9 – OutRun
Magical Sound Shower
#8- Sonic Hedgehog
Need I say more?
#7 – Sonic & Knuckles
Lock-On Technology!
#6 – X-Men 2: The Clone Wars
Best X-Men game with the arcade game right behind it.
#5 – TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist
Turtles in Time gets all the attention, but this game is good too. How many even know this exists? 
#4 – Maximum Carnage
What was already said in a past blog does need to be said again. Love it.
#3 – Streets of Rage 2
One of, if not the best, beat em’ up ever. The 1st level’s theme is a classic.
#2 – Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic 2, Sonic 2!
#1 – Sonic the Hedgehog 3
My favorite Sonic game.
Top 10 Favorite Water-based Sonic Stages
I normally don’t care much for water stages, being generally slow moving, but there are a few exceptions such as Jolly Roger Bay from Super Mario 64, and of course, the levels in Sonic games. On with the list!
#10 – Wave Ocean (Sonic the Hedgehog ’06)
Whether it’s relaxing on the beach, going up and down loops, or getting chased by a big killer whale, Wave Ocean is the place to be! 
#9 – Aquatic Base (Sonic the Hedgehog ’06)
A laboratory entirely taking place underwater. Includes a cameo from Ecco & friends later in the act (and if not Ecco himself, some dolphins) Plus, the music is great.
#8 – Adabat (Sonic Unleashed)
A stage based on Brazil or somewhere in Southeast Asia. This place is beautiful.
#7 – Kingdom Valley (Sonic the Hedgehog ’06)
An abandoned castle northeast of Soleanna (place where the game takes place).
#6 -Pirate Island (Sonic Rush Adventure)
You get to ride dolphins (Ecco reference again, Sega?)
# 5 – Aquatic Ruin (Sonic the Hedgehog 2)
A classic stage!
#4 – Ocean Palace (Sonic Heroes)
The music is nice, and the scenery is too.
#3 – Seaside Hill (Sonic Heroes)
My favorite stage from Sonic Heroes
#2 -Emerald Coast (Sonic Adventure)
Fell in love with this stage the moment I booted the game up. The whale chase will remain a classic moment.
#1 – Hydrocity Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 3)
My favorite stage from one of my favorite Sonic games. The music is kickass and the background (especially the Sonic statues in Act 1) is very well-detailed. Plus, there isn’t much slowdown with all the ramps, slides, loops, etc.
There you have it, my favorite water stages from Sonic games!
Insert Coin(s)
Remember when the arcades were big? That was such a long time ago. Anyway, for my next Top Whatever List, I will list my top 25 arcade games I’ve played over the years. Please take note, these are games that I’ve played and liked very much. If a game you liked was left out, I’m…uh….sorry. Now to the list!
