Thanks.

And no, it's not Majora's Mask, but you are close.

Gonna guess Civ 4 and Timesplitters 2 then.

As for me I lost internet for 3 days so I will probably just do write ups for my 6-10 and hints for 1-5.

2.Street Fighter II

This is the release that made fighting games. Sure there was a Street Fighter before, but one can ignore the game never existed. This was the game that made fighting games very fun. I have memories playing so many different versions of this game. On Sega Geneisis, PS2, PSP and at an arcade. When I was younger I memorized how to do every special attack in the game except for Zangief's body slam and Dhalsim's teleportation.

Hint 1: Extreme snowboarding.
Hint 2: Bowling on ice.
Hint 3: Snow machine fight.
Hint 4: Sega.

1.Final Fantasy X

This is the game that made my childhood. Unlike every other little kid on the street, I really liked to play games with lots of cutscenes and storyline. The music also made this game so memorable. It was about 11 years or so after I started the game that I actually saw the ending, so the fight up until the third Seymour boss battle is where I have the most nostalgia.

I'm not sure I get the hint, but Breath of the Wild?

Zelda: Ocarina of Time?



Here are more hints from me:

#4 In North America, this spinoff game was released just a few months after the series' most successful entry.
Hint 2: The story of this game is about two childhood friends who took two very different paths as adults.
Hint 3: This is a turn based tactical RPG.
Hint 4: This is a PS1 game.
Hint 5: This game had two sequels.  Although this is a PS1 game, the sequels ended up on Nintendo handheld devices.
HInt 6: Set in the world of Ivalice

#3 “Since man first walked upright, he has looked to the stars and wondered, ‘Are we alone in this cold corner of space? If something is out there, would it be friend…or foe?’ What would this Earth man think if he could see a desperate space ship, fleeing at a speed faster than imagination? What would he think if he saw the impact of powerfully potent neutronic missiles upon its fragile frame? What would he make of the strange pod that ejected from the ruined remains, just in time to avoid its mysterious inhabitant’s destruction? And would he gape in wonder at the dozen or so strange canisters that burst from its hold and fell towards the atmosphere of our guileless globe? What emotion would pass through his mind as he observed these selfsame containers as they passed through our atmosphere and fell upon the surface of an unsuspecting metropolis? So many questions and so few answers…until now dear viewers…until now….”

Hint 2: This is a real time tactical RPG.
Hint 3: This PC game pays homage to silver age comic books, especially those created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
Hint 4: The developer of this game is actually more well known for a game about an underwater city dedicated to Objectivist philosophy. 
Hint 5: In this game you control up to 4 super heroes on each mission, and you can usually pick which 4 you want to take from a much larger roster.  The super heroes were created by the game developers and do not come from the comic books.

#2  I want to give you the whole picture
Yeah, I'd love to tell you more
The girl Messiah was your lover 
or maybe the girl next door?
The first one died and she can't come back
Because she's like no other
The other went in and brought you back
Which will be your lover?

Hint 2:  This game comes from a well known series.  However the ROM for this entry is approximately 700 times larger than the ROM for the previous entry.
Hint 3:  This is the first time a game from this series appeared on a Sony console.


#1  My list so far is dominated by arcade action games and fantasy RPGs.  This is an NES game.

This is a great game.  Final Fantasy is my favorite series, and I would often think to myself, "I can't wait until all of this is voice acted."  Then FFFX came out and totally delivered.  

What is your favorite song in this game?  Mine is the one that plays before you even start the game (where they are all kind of  just sitting there, reflecting).  I would often just sit there and listen to this song for about 1/2 an hour before I even started the game.  I really love the music in all of the Final Fantasy games, but the opening song for FFX would be tied for my #1 in video game music.

My favourite song is Besaid Island, but I also really like the song Challenge.

#5
The last new entry in my list (I'm replaying it right now, and I think I'll move it 1 spot up for next year).
"Open your eyes"
