ARCADE
street fighter 2 - i was 8 when i saw it in the arcade. i hadnt really thought a game like this was technologically possible on earth, LOL it blew my mind

virtua fighter - looking at those polygons replicate kung fu moves, i thought "ok, consoles cant mess with this!"

mortal kombat - i had never seen a game be that graphic, and to a child, gore and sex mean adult and being an adult before your time is "cool"

tekken 3 - graphics were a step up and i had never seen capoeira before but was a young hip hop head so the moves appealed to me on a breakdance tip

final fight - loved the run down urban environment. the city was so bad the mayor had to beat people. it was like a john carpenter movie you could play!


PC
left 4 dead - unique teamwork and atmosphere were unmatched

battlefield bad company 2 - the best large scale competitive FPS mechanics i had ever experienced

cod 4 - the best action movie campaign and most refined medium scale multiplayer shooter i had ever seen and all in one package

operation flashpoint dragon rising - most accessible "realistic" shooter ever, multiplayer was ruined by being peer to peer but that campaign was amazing

diablo 2 - most addictive multiplayer grind ever


GBA
castlevania circle of the moon - no frills castlevania

advance wars - most addictive strategy game i have ever played


DS
picross - the ultimate time waster

castlevania dawn of sorrow - for someone who had skipped saturn, dreamcast, and playstation, this was the most modern castlevania game i had played at the time


NES
super mario bros - first real video game i remember playing as a preschooler, i think. been hooked ever since

super mario bros 3 - at this point, this was probably the most epic game i had ever seen

contra - 2 player with a friend was one of my favorite pasttimes

double dribble - was one of my first nintendo games that i owned and could play regularly

tecmo bowl - addictive, tight gameplay

ninja turtles - my favorite cartoon turned game and was actually faithful to the property and well made

bubble bobble - simple and great multiplayer

ninja gaiden - was too hard for me but very "cool" made me aspire to be a better player


SNES
street fighter 2 - made the upgrade from 8 bit seem worth it

mario kart - great multiplayer fun with sister

star fox - could not believe you could get these graphics on a SNES

blackthorne - was not used to seeing such a dark, hard edged game on SNES

flashback - animation quality drew me in. gameplay has not aged well but tech advancement was more important to me back then


GENESIS
sewer shark (sega CD) - not a good game but tech was more important then

gunstar heroes - at this point, this is the best run and gun i had ever played

streets of rage 2 - setting, gameplay, and music firing on all cylenders and multiplayer

shinobi 3 - ninja games were like their own genre and i thought this was the best one ever at the time

desert strike - before owning a PC, this felt as close as I would get to a simulator


N64
zelda OoT the GOAT zelda and GOAT action RPG period

mario kart 64 - the best kart racer i have ever played. great fun with my sister

goldeneye 007 - the greatest FPS i had ever played (did not own a PC at this point)

starfox 64 - perfect representation of a shmup in 3D

yoshi's story - one of the most aesthetically pleasing games i had ever played

f-zero x - my favorite racing game mechanics ever

body harvest - massive scope with variety of vehicles

resident evil 2 - my first RE game, atmosphere was unmatched and it was hilarious that this was leon's first day on the job


GAMECUBE
metroid prime - most impressive console game i had played at the early part of that generation

resident evil 4 - arguably the GOAT RE even though it was not faithful to the usual slow pace

f-zero GX - so underrated

metal gear solid twin snakes - my first serious attempt to play MGS. confusing but amazing and polished

soul calibur 2 - tight gameplay and Link is playable. nuff said

fire emblem path of radiance - favorite console strategy game, grew to love my soldiers

ikaruga - most creative shmup i had played at that point


WII
sin and punishment star successor - criminally underrated and clever with the use of the motion controls

 

[old pig]

tecmo bowl - addictive, tight gameplay

oh damn I gotta add tecmo super bowl to my list...in college a friend and I played an entire season...I forgot who his team was but he went 16-0 and I went 9-7 w/ the giants...we played our respective playoff games and met in the super bowl...I won that shyt on a hail mary and a missed tackle lol...if memory serves me well we started playing about 8PM the nite before...played that shyt til early the next morning...his roommate was pissed lmao
