- Super Mario Brothers 3 - highly addictive, awesome ROM hacks for totally new levels and gameplay.

- Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - I wish I could erase this from my memory and play it for the first time again.
- Goldeneye 007 - Best. Multiplayer. Ever.
- Banjo-Kazooie - Totally addictive and enjoyable 3D platformer.

- Super Mario World - really great Mario adventure.
- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - I love Indiana Jones, and this a great, unappreciated graphical adventure with awesome voice acting and intrigue.

This is more a result of which game I have and have not played than anything else - dozens of others would make the list if I'd ever played them :-)
Also, many awesome games I simply rushed through more than these games, in which I became totally immersed (Monkey Island games, other Marios and Zeldas, Serious Sam, C&C, others).
It should be noted I haven't gotten into online multiplayer, and I generally prefer a great single player experience to multiplayer, with a few exceptions.
Ocarina of Time is perfect. Perfect, I tell you.
Too bad I didn't like Majora's Mask half as much.
Yeah, me too. I'm pretty sure it was because it was a little too... weird. And, you're only a kid.
great list, agree with nearly all.
Nice to here Zelda:Link to The Past get in there, that wore down my super nintento!!
Id like to see a list "Every Game i Own" i'd be interested to see whats in your collection, as i can imagine our collectoin being alot alike. you may clone my "Every Game i Own" list if you want but id love to see your list alll the same! :]
The problem is that my games collection cycles in and out, I don't have them all anymore (indeed, less than 5% of what I've owned in my life). I started with some version of Atari, had about 80 games, gave them away. Had an NES and about 35 games, sold them. Had an SNES and about 15 games, sold it. Had an N64 and about 10 games, my brother now has them (and only about 4 of them). Have had more than 100 PC games over the years, but right now only have about 50 of them lying around.
So, there's no way I'm going to make a list of every game I've ever owned, even though it's less ambitious than my 'all movies I've seen' list.
What do you think of 'Perfect Dark'?
You know, it's strange! It was supposedly better in ever way to Goldeneye, but it just didn't didn't addict or involve me like Goldeneye did. I think maybe I didn't care for the look of the film. N64 tried valiantly to make things like glass and tons of reflections and lighsources work, but it just couldn't pull it off. Perhaps the game tried too much for my tastes, I dunno.
Yes, that's strange. Nevertheless it's one of my favourites after 'Ocarina of Time', of course.
