Talking Time Presents: The Top 60 Video Game Enemies Exhibit at the Valdez Museum of Video Game Box Art

[Octopus Prime]

Love them Draccyfish, and am surprised to see I didn’t vote for em

 

[Issun]

Figured Troids would end up here. They really are one of the most iconic enemies in gaming.

Well I'm 99.999...% sure of what one of the top 2 is, but I'm having trouble thinking of what the other could be.

 

[Octopus Prime]

Consider;

Metroids are the only video game enemy to have an entire genre named after them

I'm guessing

Spoiler

#2 Lynels and #1 Slimes

Before we got this far, I wouldn't have thought that the former would make the top 2, but that makes more sense to me than them missing the top 50 entirely.

 

[WildcatJF]

I'll never tell.

Til next week, anyway

 

[Kirin]

It's gotta be that infamous ne'er do well, the Black Marble.

 

[WildcatJF]

..........gonna be taking a break til Monday! For obvious reasons! See you next week!

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Sleep now. Fictional monsters can wait.

Oh yeah, I just realized what the other one probably is.

 

[Octopus Prime]

I thought for sure Goomba was going to be the number 1.

Now it’s all topsy turvey!

Donors had this to say:​

I place all responsibility on Akira Toriyama. How many other monster mooks can you name that have their own series where they participate in tank fights? ~ Ixo​

They took the formless blobs from Dungeons & Dragons and made them cute. This blue Hershey's Kiss basically summarizes the whole design sense of an entire generation of role-playing games. ~ Dracula​

Would the Dragon Quest series have the same level of popularity if it didn't have slimes? I doubt it. Also if your common enemy becomes a mascot and gets its own spin-offs then you know you are game designing good. ~ Torzelbaum​

Obvious pick, but it's obvious for a reason. They really are pretty good. ~ Kishi​

An iconic design approaches! Command? ~ Positronic Brain​

Spoiler: Slime

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slime

 

[Octopus Prime]

Outstanding dogs, those goo-buddies

 

[Issun]

Huh, I thought for sure they'd make top billing.

Anyhoo, slimes are adorable and versatile and they were the first thing that came to mind when this list one. And I really haven't played much DQ at all.

 

[Daikaiju]

A design so friendly, they had to make player friendly NPCs out them in later installments.

 

[Falselogic]

I love the slimes. Just so iconic.

 

[Adrenaline]

Which came first, Slimes or the Ghost Usher in Dragon Ball?

 

[Torzelbaum]

Huh, I thought for sure they'd make top billing.

Anygoo, slimes are adorable and versatile and they were the first thing that came to mind when this list one. And I really haven't played much DQ at all.

Fixed that for you.

 

[Octopus Prime]

That’s definitely one of the DQ Ghosts

 

[Kirin]

God I wish we'd gotten the Rocket Slime sequel in English. That game was such a good timeslime.

 

[Falselogic]

Seconded. I loved the first one and am still bummed we didn't get the sequels.

This whole thread has been a ride!

 

[Issun]

You've really gone the extra mile, and it's been worth the wait. This goes with JBear's Tabletop thread and Drac's Toyline thread in the pantheon of truly great Top (6)50s.

 

[WildcatJF]

In real WildcatJF mode a bit, I really appreciate the compliments on the contest and for our friends here on TT who have been so awesome in helping me achieve some amazing accomplishments and cameos within this contest. Seriously, my heart is so full.

 

[Beta Metroid]

This has been extremely cool! I haven't commented much on all the effort you (and the occasional guest contributor) have put into this, but it is impressive!
