As did I, it might be a game that was supposed to be for kids, but it was surprisingly challenging and deep, which was probably what kept me engaged. Besides the fact that I liked the comics.

Awakening is one of the reasons why the 3DS is a fantastic system. I like tactics titles and therefore I like Fire Emblem, and Awakening surely is a great Fire Emblem title. Probably a reason why Sakurai included a whole bunch of characters from this games in Smash.

Awakening follows the story of Chrom and his warriors as they fight against the quite of bunch of problems cropping up over time. Your characters becomes their tactician as you control the whole team on the battlefield. The story stretches over multiple years, but also includes the time traveling children of the characters you play, as they come back in time to avoid the dark future.

The game has the tactics gameplay the series is known for and works the formula well. You have some specialties through the teamups. The presentation is pretty good and still helps to keep a good overview of the battle (which is in my opinion very important for this kind of tactical gameplay).

As this game was a very successful title it helped to bring the series more into the spotlight.

26: Resident Evil 2 Remake

22: Resident Evil 4

19: Final Fantasy XV?

One of my all time favorite sim games, and as you can see one of the biggest gainers on this list because I once again got really into it. Have over 100 hours on steam and it only gets higher over time. A testament to how good simplicity can be in these games sometimes. Nothing too crazy or a billion different systems just straight simple fun so its easy to get into roleplaying like your actually controlling this game company and releasing games. Will always come back to this one and an absolute highest recommendation if you’re into these types of games.

Right with the two Resi Evil games. 19 is incorrect though, so I'm happy to throw out another Steinman / Meat Loaf reference of 'two out of three ain't bad'.

19 could be a lot of things, but Final Fantasy IX?

Fair shout, I'll add another clue

- Initially started development as a spin off, before being changed into a main entry in the series.

- Like previous games, there’s more than one playable character, but you don’t get to pick who you play as here - you’ll have to control both in every play through.

Probably the best movie-based video game ever made, definitely the most influential, GoldenEye 007 was a game that turned heads. Including mine. I hadn't seen the movie yet, so all these exotic locations to walk around in were very interesting to me. I was still fairly young at the time, but contrary to the movie, the game had a couple of things that could make a decently violent game a bit less graphic and my parents made me play using the Paintball and the DK 'cheat'. Both these would make the game a big joke, and people in multiplayer huge targets, but that was okay by me. Of course, these cheats had to be unlocked first, so my stepfather played the levels needed to unlock those two in particular, but after that it was game on.

Astérix is a fairly niche game, though published by a well known publisher. Here in Europe, it had a simple name, but elsewhere, and on PC, it was known by the name Asterix: The Gallic War. The game is a turn-based strategy game in the style of Total War. This was what I played before I discovered that series, and I played it quite regularly. For a kid's game, this was surprisingly challenging and deep. The placement of your forces, or, Magic Potion supply, rather, required some strategic thinking; you can't resupply a region if it's not connected to your village and the Roman armies will usually win an equal fight. This was also one of the few console games my friend, the one from Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (#38), would play, and even he still remembers how the Roman commander sounds when he is 'thinking' about where to put his reinforcements and sometimes we still call each other with a high to low pitch "MMMmmmm..."

Was expecting a guess by now, there's a lot about this that is quite iconic, mainstream even. The OST in that clip isn't originally from this game, it was taken directly from what started this franchise. Anyways, here's a second hint.

And have another three hints because I'm already falling behind. I'll be travelling to Argentina this coming weekend so that's not gonna help matters, either. These posts aren't exactly doable on mobile, but I'll try to keep up.

Don't know if you're recreating all these yourself, but this one reminds me a bit of something from Donkey Kong Country 2, although I don't think it's right
