Like Mario, Sonic, Shenmue and others, NiGHTS has found a home in the halls of one of the best computer games of all time. Set on a 2D scale, you controlled a mystical humanoid creature that has broken free to help save the dreams of the entire world, while battling his own creator and brethren, the Nightmaren. SEGA released a specialised control pad especially for this game, and contrary to the popular but terribly wrong myth that Nintendo invented the control stick, NiGHTS was the very first game to be seen using this function, with SEGA first creating the actual peripheral. Powerless against the threat of NiGHTS' fan invasion on Sonic Team HQ, Yuji Naka is always up in arms over a possible sequel. The best thing that's happened so far has been GBA small remakes.
