#15 - Pokémon - Blue Version is epic game. It started, together with it's Red companion, a world-wide phenomenon. Everybody got onboard. Everybody in my generation at least. Personally though I was at the late end of the spectrum, only the first generation of Pokémon has interested me, as I 'grew out of it' only a couple years in. Nothing real needs to be said about this unreal game, and what it accomplished in the handheld sphere. It's addicting, addicting like chocolate. So addicting, that I could not stop playing this, ever. I was even playing this while answering the door for a couple of friends! Playing outside? Pokémon, that's where it's at! Nothing could stop me from playing this game, not even when the cartridge and my GameBoy nearly got destroyed...
During those years, my dog was still a young pup. It's still alive today, miraculously enough, but as most may know young dogs tend to destroy things they get their teeth on. My GameBoy was one of the sacrifices. The screen shattered, the body crippled, the sound cracked. Being indestructible as Nintendo hardware is though, the thing still worked fine of course. However, the screen was severely damaged. It would only actually display pixels when it felt like it and half the time when it did, there were dead pixels.
The cartridge inside during the attack was, what else, Pokémon Blue. One of my dog's teeth apparently drilled through the blue shell, leaving a gaping hole. I was devastated. Extra devastated, because another game was completely destroyed in the process, held in the GameBoy's pouches' extra pocket. That game is still to come on this list, so I'll mention it when we get there. Anyway, the hole in my Pokémon cartridge was almost through and through, damage was visible on it's chips. As if a miracle though, the game still worked. I got a family-friend to repair my GameBoy's screen (this man worked at Nintendo Benelux (part of NoE, serves Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) at the time) so I could resume my endless playtimes of Pokémon Blue without the fear of the screen fading away.
To end this anecdote, this Pokémon cartridge, with it's giant hole in the upper-right corner, is still in my possession. Tucked away in it's protective box as if it were still in supreme condition and needs to be secured against harm. This cartridge, I gather it's battery probably passed away recently, is now a symbol to my undying will to complete a game, as Pokémon Blue was the first game ever, for which I've had this unstoppable drive.

Lol. Correct. I knew you were the most likely person to get this one!
Apparently I misspelled 'Caymen' by the way, it's with an 'i' and an 'a'; 'Caiman'.
Nice quote from the train-boss. Especially the five mushroom clouds that come after when he slams into the building. There's a whole list of quotes on IMDB, but this one's the best of 'em all mostly because the portrait of this Caiman guy fits perfectly. Falco's always awesome too and luckily, this one combines the two:
Caiman: "Caiman here... No problems..."
[Star Fox blasts one of the ships]
Caiman: "Do you copy? Emergency Maneuvers!"
Falco: "Too late. Game over, pal!"
15. Half-Life + HL: Source & Black Mesa mod (PC also on PS2)
I think this game really needs to be put into perspective to truly appreciate the revolution it brough to the FPS genre and general single-player storytelling in video games. It came out in a time where FPS' were all arcade shooters like Quake, Doom or Unreal, had little to no narrative, poor AI, unrealistic damage models (didn't matter where you hit someone, the damage was the same) and where everyone was a beefed up generic soldier (actually, not much has changed in that respect). Half-Life broke the mold. You played a geeky scientist, headshots would actually kill, the AI actually flanked you or flushed you out with grenades (rather than running into walls like a lot of other FPS' of the time), the narrative was excellent and was immersively told throughout the game world.
Quite simply, it was the first game to truly combine all these aspects into one revolutionary package. The narrative was incredible for the time; for the first level you didn't even get a gun as it just built-up tension and set the scene for the rest of the game. The lack of cut-scenes and the fact that everything was seen in first-person also meant that a greater level of immersion could be maintained making you actually feel like you were Gordon Freeman. It also balanced the action with superb level design and puzzle elements requiring you to actually use a modicum of thought as opposed to the pure gibb-fest of previous FPS titles.
Having said all that, if it didn't deliver in terms of action gameplay it wouldn't have been so highly regarded. It delivered! Surface Tension is probably still one of the best single player FPS levels I've had the joy of playing through with some of the best FPS action gameplay and level design seen in a game.
It's also worth remembering that the mods that sprung from this game (namely Counterstrike, but others like Day of Defeat as well) have gone on to become some of the greatest and most popular multiplayer FPS' in the world, many still being played today. Basically, nearly every FPS on the market today has been influenced in one way or another by Half-Life.
