Back from holiday and we're almost to #1 ! Here's latest clues

8. Frog splits the mountain

7. The first release of the Belmonts

6. You're an inspiration for birth control.

5. Amazing sequel to my favorite game of all time. Your pet rabbit didn't get killed in this game.

4. Best competitive multiplayer shooter ever made that contains coding that revolutionized online play and is still the basis of current technology. Don't get beat 1v1 in the Dark Zone.

3. This sometimes interchanges with my #1 and #2 games depending on the year and my genre mood. Playing through this the very first time and seeing the world inverted at what was thought would be the end of the game, was a timeless example of nearly unmatched game design and planning.

FF7?

8. Chrono Trigger

7. Castlevania

6. Duke Nukem 3D

5. Doom 2
