In no particular order...

1) Chrono Trigger: One of most classic (SNES) RPGs I've ever played, I played it so many times all my characters were maxed out and i STILL havn't seen all the different endings!!!

2) Street Fighter Series: (Arcade), OMG, I spent three years of my life honing my skills ( haha ) at this game at the arcade after school...probably could've bought a PS2 with a heap of games with the money i spent :D

3) Baldur's Gate Series: Wonderful story, memorable characters, what can I say?

4) Metal Gear Solid: Excellent story, graphics, action, music score and atmosphere. I still play it.

5) Colin Mcrae Rally Series: Perfect drift around a 3rd gear bend on a gravel road in a Peugot 206...I'm in heaven :D .

5. Empire Earth- Fun RTS, played it when we ran out of games to play at the lan party but had a blast playing it so we played it all night..
4. Diablo II- Played it online on BNet alot until my play disk got a huge crack in it.
3. Age of Empires Rise of Rome- favorite rts ever, played over 2000 games on Microsoft's zone.com, although the games later in the series were'nt as fun nor as addictive as Aoe:Ror
2. Wizards & Warriors- been an all time favorite crpg for me, as it was my first game in the genre that got my feet wet to the wonderful experiences of rpg's.
1. Dark Age oF Camelot- Game i'm currently playing and deeply addicted too, dang MMORPGS ARE addictive...

Join the club, my friend. :D

If I were to name all my favorites, I'd have a list like yours. But you brought back some memories with some of your choices. Bubble Bobble? My goodness, that was an awesome game! Looked simple, so hard (at the end). All the early Final Fantasies, definitely. Good calls there. :D

5. PSO (Phantasy Star Online) - Worth every second of the 90,000 play hours I spent on it

4. Earth and Beyond - Been playing for 2 weeks and it's already my fav MMorpg of all time

3. Unreal tournament 2003 - Deffinetly the most potential, Get ready for the Module dam to burst and fill up the net any day now...

2. Halo - Need I say more? Heck, lets just say all the bungie games are good!

1. Ranger X - 1993, the Genesis was dying, and they came out with this blunderbuster which, by far, was the most complicated and wonderfull game EVER! It had action similar to todays Tribes II (PC) mixed with Einhander (PS2) and had graphics like Sonic the freaking hedgehog! (Genesis) Yes it was a genesis game, but let's face it, this thing came out of nowhere, and I have yet to see an arsenal in any game that was this expansive!

my faves are:

5.3 sisters - good game, nice characters, good plot. okay so its an adult game but that doesn't take away from the actual gameplay. good sex scenes [img]smile.gif[/img] . enthralling plot.

4.sven coop - okay, so its a halflife mod. stil one of the greatest mods out there. i've played over 120 maps with my friend over my lan connection. really fun.

3.monkey island - one of the funniest games i've ever played. loved the vegitarian cannibles.

2.FF7 - i played this game for over 500 hours and loved every minute. the only one problem was holding that DAMN X BUTTON TO RUN! I MEAN WHY DID I HAVE TO HOLD THAT STUPID BUTTON FOR NEARLY 500 HOURS!!!! sorry, i'll calm down. great plot, nice charaters, i give it twelve thumbs up.

1.deus ex - a long, dark, game. set in a belivable world with unbelivable technologies. corruption, greed, terrorism. its got it all. and a damn cool hero (love the coat). played through twice. doing it again. waiting for deus ex 2.

1.(again) okay so i have 2 all time favs, sue me! (please don't) Zelda: Ocarina of Time. a truly great story with amazing gameplay. if anyoen hasn't played this DO.

a heads up for all those games that didn't quite make it:
FF1-10(minus 7), Raiden trilogy(arcade version), Pong, BG1&2, morrowind, seasons of sakura (another adult game like 3 sis), Thrill Kill (never got released but IT HAD A MIDGET ON STILTS, i got a copy somewhere), GTA3 and Vice city, The Dig (another game with an awsome plot, a must play), kingpin, an about a billion others.

<font color=red>Disclaimer: if you are my parents and you are reading this then you must ignore the parts about the adult games, i have never and will never play any adult games as i am still your sweet little boy.</font>
