If PC games can be added, I had quite a few of those as well.

Neg, it's both. There's no PC/Console forum, so other than posting it in both I just put it in here. Notice my list has both (mostly Console).

In no particular order...

Final Fantasy VI (US3) - For the story, variety of well developed and unique characters, and for being the only Final Fantasy game where the antagonist actually wins for a few years. The final Kefka battle is some of the best 16bit artwork ever.

Final Fantasy VII - Unique storyline, great character development, beautiful cutscenes, and for being my first exposure to RPGs.

Street Fighter 2 - Played it in the arcades in my early teens, played it on the SNES in high school and college, played it on the PS2 when it was released in a Capcom GH collection, and purchased it on the VC for my Wii. Apparently I just can't get enough of this game.

Mario Kart Double Dash - Just plain fun. Especially with friends.

Diablo 2 - Spent a ridiculous amount of time on this game. Diablo 1 was very good also, but the level design, extra classes, and loot of Diablo 2 kept me hooked for untold amounts of time.

Titan Quest with Immortal Throne Expansion - Still playing this with my 4.5year old son. He loves it and I love playing it with him.

Total Annihilation with Core Contingency and Battle Tactics Expansions - I upgraded my computer specifically for this game years ago. Still break it out on occasion and play it.

Super Mario Bros. 3 - Glad to have this on VC for my Wii. Most unique SMB game IMHO, and was years ahead of its time when it was first released.

Super Mario Galaxy (even my "non-gamer" friends played this like people possessed to get all 120 stars). The musical score is awesome too. Not sure if I'll play this throughout the years, but the experience was wonderful.

Bioshock - Its creepy and spooky. It scared me witless and made Rapture come alive. The artwork, atmosphere, gameplay, and story make it one of my all time favorite FPS.


There, I limited it to ten.

1. Final Fantasy II (SNES)
2. Eternal Darkness (Gamecube)
3. Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast)

And of course Madden, I've played more Madden than all of them combined, I've had every one since Madden 64 (which I think was the N64 version of '97). I even have two copies of '07! haha, one for gamecube, then one for PS3.

hmmmm, lets see

1) Starcraft - Can't be anything else for me, I was a Terran every time. Pretty good at Protoss but sucked at Zerg. But when I was playing this all the time, I could own everyone online.
2) FF VII - played through it so many times and it never gets old. Can't wait for them to remake it.
3) Counterstrike/TF - this includes source and TF2, I have put so so so many hours into these games. I know it is a cop out to put them together, but oh well, its my list
4) HL1/2 - they just go together and were great games.
5) Zelda a link to the past - by far the best ever zelda game and will always be for me. I never liked the jump to 3d for zelda.
6) Mario 64 - such a great jump in gaming.
7) Mario 3 - ahhhh memories.
8) Tekken 3 - man I could own at that game.
9) NCAA football/Madden football - not going to specify years or each game as they are basically the same game with just updates each year.
10) Battlefield 2 - as long as you get a good server and get a bunch of people in teamspeak or something it is a lot of fun.

Man, so many great ones left off, sigh.

My video game playing history spans about 20 years, so I'm not into a lot of old games anymore, though i loved them way back when. It's hard to normalize my enthusiasm for certain games, but i'll try.


1) Double Dragon 2 (NES): I absolutely loved (and still love) this game. 3 years ago in grad school, my roommate had an NES, so my gf and I would beat this game everyday after classes. I can always pick up this game, play for an hour, beat it, & have a blast.

2) River City Random (NES): Oh boy. Best relatively unknown NES game evar! If you don't know...!

3) Dragon Warrior IV: My first role playing game. I had a dorky friend in grade school who raved about these games. Kids in 6th grade thought only nerds played games where you choose "fight" instead of actually doing it. I had an open mind and it became my first addiction.

4) Final Fantasy III: Still my favorite of the series. I clocked 40 hours on it. Back then, that was a huge deal.

TOOK A VIDEO GAME HIATUS FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS. DIDN'T HAVE/PLAY PS, PSII, GAMECUBE, NES64, XBOX.

5) Warcraft II: Got back into video games, but via the PC. I had never played any game like this before (RTS). I was addicted. This, and Warcraft III were the only reasons why I upgraded my PC.

6) Subspace / Continuum (Powerball): Basically a 2-D online spaceship game that looks like asteroids, but you play soccer with spaceships. This is one game i'll never put down. My fiance is actually a lot better than me on this.

7) Simcity 2000: I guess it was phase where I wanted to play God. I can't get into this game for the life of me now.

8) Oblivion (PC): Played with a lot of mods & it was an RPG dream come true.

9) Bioshock (Xbox360): Scary FPS aren't my thing, but I was absolutely drawn by the story being told by the voice recorders. Really got into this game. I actually played it a 2nd time on hard difficulty.

10) Civilization III: Is that the sun rising?
