Amazing work @mZuzek I discover this event for the first time and that's a crazy amount of data you compiled!

It would be very nice for the "old-timers" @axumblade and @forest-spirit to share their 2010 ranking in comparison with the 2019 ranking or with the upcoming 2020 ranking in order to see how a it can change in ten/eleven years!

Axumblade: 2010

forest-spirit: 2010

Both didn't actually post their list in 2019, but apparently had sent them via direct message to mzuzek, as he counted them. You can look them up here: https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=241290

That's an interesting idea, I'll do it for my first and last participation:

Rank 2011 2019
1 StarCraft (Brood War) Chrono Trigger
2 Chrono Trigger The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
3 Final Fantasy VII Super Smash Bros. Brawl
4 Super Smash Bros. Brawl StarCraft: Brood War
5 Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
6 Diablo II (Lord of Destruction) Final Fantasy VII
7 Resident Evil 4 Super Mario 64
8 Final Fantasy VI Metroid Prime
9 Secret of Mana Resident Evil 4
10 Mario Kart: Double Dash Secret of Mana

A lot of reordering has been done in the Top 10 over the years but the only new games are Breath of the Wild, Super Mario 64 and Metroid Prime. Mario 64 was #14 in 2011 and Prime was #28 back then.

Great, now everyone gets to see that I had Metroid: Other M at #17, above Metroid Prime 2 (#41), Metroid Fusion (#22) and Super Metroid (#23).

Rank 2010   (2019) 2019   (2010)
1 Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (new)
2 Chrono Trigger (#25) Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
3 Final Fantasy VI (#39) Terranigma
4 Terranigma Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
5 Xenogears (out of Top 50) Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
6 Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (#13) Heroes of Might & Magic III (#20)
7 Metroid Prime Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (new)
8 Valkyrie Profile (#46) Xenoblade Chronicles (new)
9 Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (#14)
10 Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (#11) Metroid Prime

Yup, I kinda like Zelda. Poor Xenogears has gone from #5 to not being in my top 50 at all. I'm pretty sure nostalgia played a much bigger part in my earlier lists, which would explain why some titles have moved so many spots over the years.



This is a fun idea!

Rank 2012 2019
10 The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Super Mario 64
9 Super Metroid Chrono Trigger
8 Tomb Raider (1996) Xenoblade Chronicles
7 Super Mario 64 Half-Life 2
6 Half-Life 2 Resident Evil 4
5 Final Fantasy VI Final Fantasy VI
4 Resident Evil 4 Deus Ex
3 Halo: Combat Evolved Halo: Combat Evolved
2 Deus Ex The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
1 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Not a whole lot of movement. Seven of the games are the same.

Heroes of Might and Magic still needs to gain a few places, but I see you started to see the light! (-:

Some awesome work there dude. Thats a lot of info to go through. Can't believe its been 5 years since I last participated in it. I'm looking forward to see how much my top 50 has changed in that time.

As long as I keep replaying it and reminding myself how fantastic it still is (I can't think of any game that is aging as well as Heroes III) it'll probably continue to climb.



It's nice to see how breath of the wild is number one in a majority of game compilations. It truly is the GOAT by popular voice.
