10 - NES - Eight Eyes - My brother and I played this religiously. It was a two player game where the second player, get this....played a falcon. It was basically a castlevania rip off, but fun as hell. I was always the dude with the sword, and my brother loved the falcon.
9 - Genesis - Toejam and Earl. Get a pattern so far? Great two player game....never owned it, but we rented enough times we could have owned it ten times over.
8 -Snes - Rock and Roll racing. The only racing game I've ever been able to stand apart from the micro machine games. The music was fun (if repetitive), but blowing up other cars on an isometric race track has never been more fun.
7- Alpha Centauri - Bar none my favourite turn based strategy game. I spent more hours on this than probably any other game on this list.
6 - System shock 2. I creamed myself when I found out in was selling again at GOG and its......gasp, stable.
5 - Thief games. Some people hated number 3. I loved all of them. Number 2 stands at the pinnacle of stealthy goodness.
4 - Galactic Civilizations - My favourite 4x space strategy game, after all the expansions are installed. You can get lost in the complexity and awesomeness.
3- Sly Cooper games for the PS3. Great continuing story, I just got the fourth title in the series. So far my fav is number 3, but we'll see. Don't let the cartoony nature fool you...these are great games, if not exactly killer challenging.
2- Half-life games, both of them and episode one. By episode two, I think I was getting a bit of fatigue....too many big spider guys. I must have played half life one over 10 times after I bought and the next couple of years. What a great game.
1 - Final Fantasy 6. The opera scene. Wait for Shadow. Kafka's betryal. A damn apocalypse. One of the best jrpgs ever.
On edit....so many other games I could exchange on this list. Castlevania: SofN, Prof Layton games, Splinter Cell, God of War, Ico, X-com, Advance War, Jedi Knight games, Morrowind, Alex Kidd, TMNT, Ultima Underworld. Too f'ing hard.
