#44 - Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (Nintendo, 1994) - Game Boy
Like I said before: this game is virtually tied with Aladdin. My brother had the original Game Boy, and when I got a Game Boy Color, he gave his GB games to me - among them, Wario Land (there was also Super Mario Land 2, where Wario makes his debut as the villain. Great game, not on the list though). I've beaten this son of a bitch even upside down, finding all the treasures, and getting the best ending. It's a lot more slower-paced than Mario game. For instance, Wario can't run, he can only do this "shoulder attack" to go somewhat faster. The "Mario Land 3" subtitle was obviously just added to increase sales. Perhaps nostalgia is the main reason this game is on the list - hell, next year it might not be here at all - but I have a lot of great memories with this one.
