Well ,I cant obvioulsy cite all of them ,but to offer some games .....


Final Fantasy VII ,one of the best RPG ,with incredible technology by the standars of 1997 ,I finished it 3 times the third of it with more than 120 hours of play time and a power level like I was a god .Truly groundbreaking ,you could spend weeks only training your chocobos ,battlin in the Arena of the Gold Saucer ,fightint the Armas ....

Zelda Ocarina of Time ,a great game ,with great graphics and environment specially for the time it was released .Great play mechanics (so great it hasnt changed a bit until today ) ,marvelous music that just sticked in your head ,a long and difficult quest ,many side-quests .....charismatic .One of the all-times better games .

Final Fantasy VIII .History-wise it was worse than VII but the charachters were very charismatic ,the quest was as long and enyoyable ,top notch graphics ,music ,cut-scenes ,and one of the better fighting systems in the FF universe ...the card game was also very time consuming and compelling .

Shenmue II ,truly a magic game .The best graphics the Dreamcast managed ,its swansong ,a long and powerful adventure ,enourmous open environments with dozens of people walking and with wich you could interact ...it ironed out some of Shenmue I problems (you could cut the time passing until a meeting unlike the first ) .The fighting system was also very deep .The end of the game was beautiful and magic .

Revenge of Shinobi .One of the best arcade games of the 16 bit era .It was one of the early Megadrive/Genesis offering but wasnt surpassed even by its sequels Shadow Dancer and Shinobi III .Long ,top graphics ,difficult ,top controls ,great final bosses ,great music ....

International Superstar Soccer .The Snes version had my friends group literally glued to the pad for nearly 2 years .The first great soccer game released .The gameplay was extremely fluid and faithful but at the same time spectacular and allowed for great goals .

Streetfighter II .The best 2D beat-them-up .In its different incarnations as SFII for the Snes ,SFII CE for Megadrive ,SFII Turbo for Snes and MD and Super Streetfighter II for Snes and MD it was the lord of beat them ups for many years .If we include the Streetfighter Alpha games and SF III Third Strike this has taken months and months of my life ! .

Knights of the Old Republic .Maybe not up to the cult-status as the others but I spent a lot of hours with this game .Beat it 3 times with everything accomplished and fondly remember it .One of the better games of the Xbox after my point of view .

Ninja Gaiden .Simply the best action game I have experienced in the recent years .I had this for the original Xbox and have also bought it for the PS3 so you can figure how much I like this game .Long ,though ,challenging ,exhilarating gameplay ,great graphics and sound ...

Resident Evil 4 .I spent many time with this game .Truly great graphics ,gameplay ,story ,a must have for the Game Cube .

Resident Evil 1 .I spent even more time with this one than with RE4 .When I bought this along my PSX I hadnt too much money so I couldnt buy a memory card .So ,with a friend we started the game agains each and every day just to do things faster and advance the quest a bit .For nearly a month we played like that until I bought the memory card .This game was a true shock for all videogames fans back in 1997 .

Rome Total War .Just to add one of my beloveds RTS I will put one of those .I have really loved games as Warcraft III ,Age of Empires I-III ,Empire Earth ...but my fave has been probably the great Rome Total War .A true classic .


I want also to mention games as Metal Gear Solid (PSX ) ,Final Fantasy X (PS2 ) ,Fable (Xbox ) ,Fzero ( Snes and Game Cube ) ,Zelda twilight Princess (GC ) ,Lumines (PSP ) ,Tetris (tons of plattforms ) ,Castlevania IV (Snes ) ,Astro marine Corps (Amstrad CPC ) ,Sonic 2 (Megadrive ) ,Contra III Alien Wars (Snes ) ,Marvel Vs Capcom 2 (Dreamcast ) ,Soul Calibur (Dreamcast ),Resident Evil Code Veronica (Dreamcast ),Resident Evil 2-3 (PSX) and many others but the 12 above are the ones that more inmediately appeared on my mind .

Micro machines on megadrive.
Perfect Dark on N64
Wind waker on GC [this would be my fave of all]
RE4 and Wii sports on Wii

of the few games i have played on ps1/2 my faves would be driver/gtaVC

FFVI - The best RPG ever. This game had the story, great sprite graphics, character development, music, and the absolute best villain ever.

Zelda : OoT can bug off , Everquest is the best RPG ever !! (and a Sony product to boot!)

Chrono Trigger - This has amazing storytelling, great (and early) use of multiple endings, and probably embodies the pinnacle of pure RPG gameplay -- sadly, no one has built on its combat engine.

Final Fantasy VI - This is the best in the FF series: many strong characters, great story, and the best villain.

Final Fantasy Tactics - If there's a better tactical RPG, I haven't played it.

Super Mario 64 - I shouldn't have to explain this one. This game is still in many ways the gold standard of 3D platformers. It was rereleased eight years later (DS) and was a smash hit, despite criticism that the original had better controls.

All the Mario Games - All of them are masterworks.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - I will not explain this one.

All the Zelda games - Every bit as good as Mario.

Resident Evil 4 - This game was ported to a system three years and one console generation later. I bought it and played all the way through on all 3 systems it was released on. Need I say more?

StarCraft - This ate my life for about two years. I plan to feed StarCraft II at least one more.

Diablo II - This ate my life for about two years.

Einhander and Ikaruga - two greatly innovative (and just plain great) SHMUPS, with Ikaruga having the advantage of being AFAIK the swan song of the genre.

[edit: Mega Man 2 & 3 collectively - the pinnacle of Mega Man. The fact that Capcom is still making Mega Man games is a testament to how good these two games are.]

(Final Count:
(11 games, 2 series
(4 games by Square
(2 games, 2 series by Nintendo
(5 games on Nintendo consoles (& two ports)
(5 sequels - not counting FFT or Ikaruga)

[edit2: I have not played Half-Life or Half-Life 2, but from what I understand, if I do, I may be wanting to amend this list.]

NES:
Double Dragon 2 (One of the best co-op games...me and my brother clocked plenty of hrs on this)

SNES:
TMNT Turtles in Time (same as DD2)
Diddy's Kong Quest (I don't kno, I just love the hell outta this game)
Mario Kart (no need to explain)
Mario World (Almost all mario games are great)

N64:
007 (My favorite FPS of all time)
Perfect Dark (I think the most underrated game of all time even though IGN scored a 9.8)
DK 64 (The best Donkey Kong I ever played)
Mario 64 (Self explanatory)
Smash Bros (Self explanatory)
Mario Kart 64 (Expanded on the first one and was all around better)

PS1:
Twisted Metal 2 (The only reason I had a PS1)

GC:
Eternal Darkness (Didn't get to finish, but what I played was crazy)
Smash Bros Melee (Self explanatory)

XBox:
Halo (1&2) (Not since Perfect Dark did I enjoy co-op FPS)
Fight Night (Re-developed my love for boxing)

Wii:
RE4 (Best game I ever played)
Trauma Center (Something different and I loved it)

i also forgot about Prince of Persia on Xbox which was the best game single player game I played on XBox. Viewtful Joe for the Gamecube I wish I was able to finish, but the time I did play it, it was beautiful.

ES3: Morrowind - First experience of a truly open RPG, great game.
Zelda: OoT - Need I say more?
Civilization (the original) The first video game that I truly got into. None of its sequels have managed the same level of addiction with me.
