Ok, finally turning it in. I'm a bit unhappy with the list since I didn't want to include some old favorites until I replayed them for a more recent opinion, but I couldn't finish the list without them (not enough entries) and settled on including the ones where I feel my opinion will more or less be the same if I revisit them. I did exclude stuff like Banjo where I'm not extremely sure what my opinion would be nowadays.
I did list the original release dates for the games unless I specified the remastered version or if the game technically has the same name as its original release, despite possibly playing it on a newer system/newer edition, hope that isn't too much of a bother!
