~ S.Peelman's Top 50 Best Video Games of All Times 2015: ~
When a game spans multiple consoles, only those I played the game on are mentioned. Also, the one eligable for the entry (read: the one I played the most) is then in bold. The year of release is based on the PAL releases of the original game, which usually only really makes a difference in older games.
This year there will be two new entries in the list (N). These however aren't new games per-se and of course. Aside from those, there are three games that return (R) to the list. This means that five games are gone compared to last year. Most of the rest of the list has been shuffled to suit my updated feelings about all these games.
