Well, I have an overall Top 200 list that I did back in November of 2005, which was the latest in a series of what had previously been I think 3 Top 100 lists, which for my most recent version I changed to 200. Each time I've re-done it, I've done it all from scratch, but, of course, much of it usually ends up looking fairly similar. Still, some stuff changes around from time to time, and, it's really not an exact science. Plus, I like all of my games very much, and if I could squish 200 games down into a top 30 I'd probably like them all there. Plus, any game that I own, even the ones that aren't on the list, I like them all very much. Nonetheless, I'm pretty happy with my current list.

In any event, for anyone curious to see the whole list, a text version can be found here, and a version with two pictures for every game on the list is here (needless to say that one takes a while to load, but, it's fun to look at pictures).

For anyone who just wants to see the top 10 though, it's:

1 - Chrono Trigger (SNES)
2 - Earthbound (SNES)
3 - Lufia (SNES)
4 - Lufia 2 (SNES)
5 - Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES)
6 - Zelda: Link to the Past (SNES)
7 - Super Mario World (SNES)
8 - Super Mario 64 (N64)
9 - Tetris (NES)
10 - Dr. Mario (NES)

Oh brother.  I don't think I could do this.  There's no way I'm going to be able to cram 25 years of gaming into 10 or even 20 all-time-favorite games.  SO I'm gonna just list games I like in no particular order.


1. Mario series.
2. Sonic series, primarily the of the Genesis brood, but even the Dreamcast/Gamecube/Wii variety.
3. Metroid series, primarily the first three 2D games(please remake MII Nintendo!)
4. Harvest Moon series, but mostly the SNES and N64 titles.
5. "Classic" Dreamcast games(some of which I regret taking back).  Some of those games either WERE ports or became ports, or had sequels on other systems, however.
6. Chrono Trigger / Super Mario RPG (These score lower cuz I played'em to death...)
7. "Classic" SNES/Genesis games
8. "Classic" N64 and Gamecube Games
9. Body Harvest (N64--I put this separate because it's not considered classic by too many people, and I want to point it out specifically)
10. "Classic" NES/Sega Master System games.

11. ....annnnnd everything else that doesn't cover, but can't remember(not that I'm nominating EVERY game, but still). :>

I have a really hard time picking out just a handful of favorites. Even so, I usually do it when ask. The list never turns out the same though. So, here's my top 10 until the next time someone asks.

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
2. Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber (N64 - The game "Yumil" is from)
3. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
4. World of Warcraft (PC)
5. Super Metroid (SNES)
6. Earthbound (MOTHER2 - SNES)
7. MOTHER3 (Earthbound 2 - GBA)
8. Illusion of Gaia (SNES)
9. Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals (SNES)
10. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Yeah, I had issues deciding some of those (especially #10). There so many games I think are excellent. The entire Zelda series ranks among my favorites, as well as the Metroid and Mario games. Star Fox is a favorite of mine as well. Some of the Final Fantasy's are a ton of fun, and the other Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre games are worth mentioning as well. After playing games my entire life it's hard to just pick a few to be my favorites. Picking games I own that I hate is probably easier, because there aren't many of them (I'm looking at you Quest 64).   

EDIT: Added consoles. I also changed my mind about #10. I've decided that Mario Galaxy is more fun than Mario World. A big decision, considering that newer games rarely take the place of the older ones in a list of my favorites.

#1 I wouldn't consider my best. I'll just name my favorite games off the top of my head...

1. Pokemon for the handhelds
2. Wind Waker
3. Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess
4. Counter-strike Source/DoDs
5. Banjo Kazooie
6. Super Smash Bros Melee
7. Super Mario Bros
8. Metroid Prime Hunters/Metroid for handheld
9. Jump Super Stars
10. Mario Kart DS
11. Starcraft/Diablo/AoE
12. Re4
13. Madden for the PS1 or Tony Hawk. Especially when the disc is scratched and the characters glitch. They get fat.

I don't have a lot of games, compared to you all...so that's all I have...

 Top 10 favorite games huh? Well I don't know that I necessarily have a "Top 10" list but in no particular order here are some of my favorite games ever:
 -Resident Evil 4. Few games maintain such a high level of quality in graphics, gameplay, and story (not to mention challenge) so consistantly from begining to end. A truly outstanding piece of work.
 -Super Smash Bros (series). I chose this series for its immense replayability.
 -Super Mario World. The last "traditional" Mario game in my opinion. Installations in the series hence, while great, haven't felt like Mario games to me.
 -Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Though this game only had average visuals the volume of content alone makes it stand out. With all of the side missions available aside from the sizable main story one can easily spend enough time on this game to warrant a purchase.
 -Halo (series).It wasn't the first FPS and it definately won't be the last, but Halo definately set a standard to which most FPS's strive for.
 -Pokemon (series). The fact that I put in 200+ hours on Pokemon silver should say something.
 -Mario Kart (series). The Mario Kart games are fantastic fun for one player. They are outrageous for multiplayer. Mario Kart DS stands out specifically for its online mode.
 -Metroid Prime (series). Though all of the Metroid games are excellent pieces of work, the Prime series stands above the others for it level of immersion. From the atmospheric music to the incredibly deep backstory to the subtleties such as the way Samus's visor clouds up when it is hit by a blast of steam. The developers at Retro have crafted true masterpieces.
 -Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. A truly underappreciated piece of art. Oddworld Inhabitants put alot of time, effort, and creativity into their games and Stranger's Wrath was my favorite of them all.

Hmmm...a "top ten list" from someone who is a Legend of Zelda fanatic might be rather predictable, sorry but I'll do it anyways.


10. Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)

Even though this is a rather short video game and has an extremely minimalist storyline (which only adds to a rather confusing ending), it was made to with such gorgeous looking graphics, that it was more like just viewing pure art, with the added in bonus of actually playing what I would consider a unique platforming video game that is challenging as you try to be "King of the Hill", but these "mountains" are moving beasts that do their best to send you tumbling back down to Earth once more (or twice or three times).


9. Silent Hill 2 (PS2)

While the LoZ series is my true passion, I do enjoy the horror survival genre and while the Silent Hill series does share quite a lot in common with Resident Evil, this game along with the other's, have such interesting but completely bewildering monsters, that they are the true stuff of nightmares, as they are nothing like anyone has ever seen and hope that we never do.


8. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (PS2)

I have heard Hideo Kojima describe this as a "playable movie" and with such almost ridiculously long cut-scenes, that would be the best description I could also say, but it is such a fun time going up against AI that is actually intelligent, it is worth all that wait (though seeing Raiden doing somersaults, I could have waited forever).


7. Starfox64 (N64)

When I truly began my video game "career", this was the second video game I bought and when I still just want to relax, I can think of nothing better then just hopping into my Arwing and blasting all that dare get into my way.


6. A Link to the Past (GBA)

Such an amazing video game, from the world of Hyrule and all that live there that desperately need saving, to the music that accompanies that journey, it almost could not get any better then this. 


5. Resident Evil 2 (N64)

This was my third and was the video game that showed me that there was more then just a sword and shield to use, though the notoriously bad camera angles, did make me wish my Hylian Shield was nearby and to keep me from banging my head into unexpected walls and or Zombies.


4. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Cube)

Ever since OoT and how completely amazed I was with it, I have waited for what I knew one day with would be the next best LoZ with a console that could handle much, much more, both in graphics and in the sheer size of the world that could be explored and I sure was not disappointed with all that TP became and would have chosen the Wii version over the Cube's, as the Wii controls did add so much to the feel and immersion into the game, but being a Zelda purist, Link is the true left-handed Hero that Legends speak of and that was only possible with the Cube version.


3. Resident Evil 4 (Cube)

So close to becoming my number one video game, as RE4 did everything so perfectly and has revitalized this series and showed just exactly how it should now be done, but it just could not top my last two choices.


1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) and Legend of Zelda: MasterQuest (Cube)

Which are completely expected for me to have on my list, as OoT was my very first video game and what a way to start it off, but I shall not bore you with all my thoughts on OoT, as it has been repeated so often by others that it has become both one of the most loved but also over-rated video games of all time, so I will spare you from hearing it again from me.

But the reason why I choice both OoT/MasterQuest as my number one(s), is that I view them both as one video game, just with two completely different ways to play them, but with that one amazing shared storyline that I never tire nor ever will of hearing and which has become my all-time favorite video game(s) and series.

Here are my 10 favorite games in no particular order

1 Super Mario Bros
The first game that I ever played and I had a blast stomping on enemies and doing my best trying to get through a level as fast as I could without killing myself. That didn't always work though...

2 Golden Sun
This game has an awesome storyline and its game play is good as well, it was a fresh Rpg and I had a blast playing it.

3 Tetris/Tetris DS
Both versions are a joy to play and I do my best to try and get as many lines that I can in both games .

4 Golden Sun: The Lost Age
The sequel to the first Goldensun game, it has just as good of a storyline as the first one did and the game play is just as good as ever.

5 Super Mario Land
A short game, but still a challenge.

6 Mario Kart DS
The first racing game that I've ever been good at .

7 Super Mario Bros. 3
One of the most fun platform games that I ever played, and it was innovative in its time.

8 Super Mario 64 DS
One of the longest Mario games that I've ever played and one of the most fun ones too .

9 Draken: The Ancients' Gates
One of the most fun RPG's that I'd ever played and one of the most fun.

10 New Super Mario Bros.
Not the best Mario game that I've ever played, but still fun and a joy to play nonetheless .
