Vote for the Top 100 Retro Franchises!

[theRepublic]

1. The Legend of Zelda - Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time are two of my favorite games of all time. A Link to the Past is amazing as well. The franchise also includes a couple great GameBoy games and of course the games that started it all on the NES.

2. Super Mario - Super Mario World is my favorite platformer of all time. SMB, SMB3, and M64 are all great classics that need to be played by any fan of platformers. I'm also a big fan of SMW2.

3. Pokemon - A great take on the RPG genre. I spent so much time on these games in my childhood.

4. Donkey Kong - Three amazing platformers in the 'Country' series, a ton of gaming history before that, and an unfortunate collect-a-thon on the N64.

5. Command & Conquer - A especially loved the 'Red Alert' entries to the franchise.

6. Metroid - I don't particularly like the NES versions, but Super Metroid is so good that it makes up for that.

7. Mega Man - So many great games, and so popular, it is almost a crime to not include it.

8. Civilization - Could be flipped with Number 9, it was a tough choice.

9. Sim City - Could be flipped with Number 8, it was a tough choice.

10. Perfect Dark - Yeah, there's only one game for this franchise in this time period. So, what? Still my favorite FPS to this date.
