WOW THAT WAS HARDER THAN I THOUGHT TO PUT JUST 10 GAMES UP.

I have a few Honorable Mensions: Castlevania, Halo, Star Wars Battlefront, LOTR two towers return of the king, Super Mario World, Mega Man,  GTA Vice City, Wario Twisted,  Sonic, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, RC Pro-am, Off Road Challenge, Zanac, Tecmo Super Bowl, Keystone Kapers, Pitfall, and last but not least NINJA GAIDEN. Not sure how this one missed my top ten. But it was very hard.

1. Super Metroid
2. Skies of Arcadia
3. Super Mario Brothers 3
4. Phoenix Wright

And many others.

My favorite game ever is Dragon Warrior 4 for NES.

Otherwise, I like these to round out my top 5:

Warlords (Atari 2600)
Shining Force 2 (Sega Genesis)
Lunar: Silver Star Story (Sega CD)
King's Bounty (Sega Genesis)

I'm sure there are many, many more.

This is game pretty sweet and a good concept.  I'm actually on the end guy right now in this game.

Yeah, that was a pretty cool one  :D

Before playing the MegaDrive version I remember seeing it on my friends old PC. For security and proof of purchase before playing you had to type a word from this book that came with it. The game will give you a random page to turn to and the line and how many words in you have to look for the word the game needed before you could begin. What a drag haha. Much better on the MegaDrive, Amiga, and C64.

Just idea, maybe we could have an our favourite games list on our profiles?

Just edit your collection description under your profile in your collection and add them  ;)

Tan's Collection (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/collection.pl?action=profile&name=Tan&folder=Collection)

Yeah but how would I go about that... wipe my actual collection and only have the games in there that are my favourite?
If that is the case I'd rather keep using RF Generation to keep track of and maintain my current collection. (Don't have a lot of my favourites on older systems  any more)

You didn't click the link in my post above it explains all.  ;)

Shoes23 Top 10:

10) AD&D Dark Sun: Shattered Lands (PC)
9) Medal of Honor (PSX)
