If you could play only 5 games for the rest of your life

Assuming compilations aren't allowed as a get-around. Was tough to cut Resident Evil 4 (original), as I've sunk so many hours into that game.

Tomb Raider II
I love how methodical this game is, and I find it endlessly replayable. There's so many ways to approach it. Pistols only? All kills? All pickups? No health packs? Speedrun? A combination of many approaches? Endless fun for me.

Yoshi's Island
My favourite game, so had to include this.

Super Mario 64
Had to pick between this and Super Mario Sunshine, as I really enjoy playing both. I think the magic of Super Mario 64 and what it means to me in my gaming journey won me over here though.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
As above, had to choose between this and Twilight Princess. And probably picked this for the same reasons as Super Mario 64 (even though I slightly prefer TP).

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1-2 Remake
Not sure if this counts as two games, as they were combined into one for the remake (if it does, then I'd opt for just THPS2). Highly addictive game(s) great for long gaming sessions, or a quick pick up and play.
