My favorite Nintendo baseball game was Legends of the Diamond. They had the weiner dog that would chase foul balls down the lines and a kid that would come from RF to catch a HR in LF or vice versa. it also had all the best players ever. Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Mantle, etc.

NCAA Football is my #1. It has been one of the only games I have purchased for the past 5-6 years.

10) Halo 2

My personal favorite FPS game, though CoD 4 is running up on it fast. My friends and I played this constantly in college, so this one makes my list.

9) Madden 2000

The game that (IMO) turned the franchise around. 99 was jerky and hard to control. 2000 fixed a ton of problems and made the franchise (again IMO) what it is today.

8) Tiger Woods 2002

The Tiger Challenge was a lot of fun, and this game really perfected the analog swing. Tiger's Dream 18 was awesome, and unlike later releases of the game, it was a completely different 18 holes of golf rather than a compilation of "Tiger's Favorite Holes". Plus, I shot a 41 on 18 holes in this game.

7) Final Fantasy VII

Cloud. Sephiroth. Bad ass game.

6) NCAA 2002

Yep, it had a Nole on the cover. But it also had Woodrow Dantzler, who was (IMO) the "Tecmo Bo" of the NCAA football franchise. Couple his speed and good enough arm strength with the ability to literally stop on a dime and he was unstoppable.

5) Super Mario Bros

The original SMB. Gotta have it on my list somewhere.

4) Mike Tyson's Punch Out

This game is just not the same later on without Iron Mike. Tough final battles against Sandman and Mike make this game worth fighting through the scrubs before it. Figuring out the patterns was the fun part here.

Oh, and try to beat this bad boy with the Power Glove.

3) Super Mario Bros 3

After Mario 2 (aka Doki Doki Panic - look it up), Nintendo needed to get back to the Mario roots. Mario 3 was groundbreaking in a lot of ways, and was one of the most creative games in the series. My personal favorite Mario.

2) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Many folks think this is the greatest video game ever created, and I'm damn close to agreeing. Awesome gameplay beginning to end, and (IMO again) the best story of any Zelda game.

1) Metal Gear Solid

My single favorite game of all time. I must have replayed this game 10 times. Never could beat it on "extreme" or whatever they called it, but I've never been so immersed in a game as I was MGS. Solid Snake is the ultimate badass, and the Psycho Mantis battle was amazing. Great graphics, great gameplay, awesome story, and the baddest ass video game character of all time make this my #1.

Damn Dave, you reminded me of another series....Metal Gear Solid. Awesome games.

gatorr4life · 06-04-2008, 09:18 PM

Brave, excellent list. Totally agree on all of them, especially FF7.

G8RBrave · 06-04-2008, 09:32 PM

Thanks 4life.

Honorable Mentions would be Contra, Myst, Silent Hill, Resident Evil 4, Mario 64, Super Mario Bros 2, Madden 2005, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Final Fantasy X, and God of War

I just ganked my brother's myst anthology box that was buried in his closet. So many games I need to play on my computer.

G8RBrave · 06-05-2008, 04:37 PM

I'm always amazed when I fire up Myst how creeped out I get. I know I'm not going to run into someone, but it is a little creepy for some reason to me.

UFSECKINGS · 06-08-2008, 02:50 AM

Metal Gear Solid was a great game. I don't know about my Top 10. But off of the top of my head in no particular order...NCAA Football, Gears of War, Call of Duty 4. Throw in Tiger Woods and Madden too I guess.

Honorable Mention: FIFA- Not even a big follower of soccer, game is just fun. IMO.

Judoka · 06-09-2008, 03:44 PM

The Half Life series- my own personal addiction.

Other than that, in no particular order:
Gyruss
Magic Sword
Tempest
American McGee's Alice
Need for Speed Most Wanted
Nox (I *still* play this damn thing)
the Serious Sam series
Total Annihilation Kingdoms
and of course the new Wii Fit. Who knew one-legged Yoga poses were so damned hard?

1. Super Mario 3

no explanation necessary

2. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the past

Perfected and expanded the original Zelda

3. Street Fighter 2

THE fighting game from which all others originated. Amazing depth and balance

4. Zelda 64

If you enhanced the graphics, this game would still stand up today in terms of depth and gameplay

5. Metal Gear Solid

Amazing story, unparalleled gameplay, inspired the entire stealth genre

6. Gran Turismo 2

Still the deepest racing game ever to come out for a console, though you would have an argument for GT4 since it still provided a fairly deep experience and support for the Driving Force Pro wheel.

7. Mario 64

The first game for N64 was one of the finest of the whole generation

8. Doom

Wolfenstein came first, but Doom spawned the FPS genre

9. God of War

Pushed the PS2 to its limits with great gameplay, graphics, and story

10. Madden 2005

Gameplay-wise, still the best Madden that has been released. Current-gen versions still haven't caught up.

gatorr4life · 06-09-2008, 10:45 PM

Not one person has put Tomb Raider or resident evil on their list. Unbelievable...

Tomb Raider was definitely a challenge, I always had a hard time with that game.

gatorr4life · 08-07-2009, 12:48 AM

Gonna have to add Dead space and Fallout 3 to the top 10. un-freaking believable games. I've never been a big horror type, but dead space is just ridiculously awesome. Fallout 3 is also off the charts.

**helix139** · 08-07-2009, 09:38 AM

In no particular order:

Street Fighter 2
Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Mario 3
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
WCW vs NWO World tour
Metal Gear Solid
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Goldeneye
God of War
Gran Turismo 2

When i posted it I just assumed this was a new thread and didn't look at the dates. I'll stick with my removal of Madden, and say that the most recent 10 were those i've had the most fun on when I played them.

Both good lists by the way.

JamminGator · 08-11-2009, 12:45 PM

RBI Baseball
Tecmo Bowl
Contra

Back in the day! Most fun I've had playing video games to this day.

**NothingRemains10** · 08-11-2009, 12:50 PM

Anyone have any Vista Emulators for the old systems

Sir_Gibby · 08-11-2009, 01:02 PM

I think everyone covered all mine, including the NES and N64 greats. I'll also leave this one since this is about the only game I've played the whole way through more than a few times...
