14. Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64 – 1996)
This game is the definition of a classic. Truly timeless gameplay that holds up perfectly to this day, despite being an early 3D title. I think what truly made this game fun is how Mario moves. He can do so many different jumps, which he didn’t have in the 2D games. He is so damn fun to control here, and the level design that focusses more on exploration is great. It works well, because the levels have just the right size, not too small, not too large.
