100. Penguin-Kun Wars (Arcade)Penguin-Kun Wars is one of thoes Odd Japanese Games that never gained much Popularity. Its Simple and Addictive and alot of Fun.
99. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Genesis)While the first two are alot better, The ammount of Levels and Playable Characters make Sonic 3 a great Game.
98. Virtua Fighter (Arcade)Virtua Fighter isn't all that Deep today, but as the first true 3D Fighter, it definately belongs on this list.

58. The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (Xbox)"Today, Johns, you get F***ed."
57. Megaman Legends (Playstation)Megaman is reborn in 3D, an overlooked Classic, and one of the best games on PSX.

54. Excite Bike (NES)The first game I played that let you customize things. Plus the Midi at the opening screen is awesome.

52. Mortal Kombat (Arcade)One of the only Games I can think of that makes some people want to Vomit..and other people die laughing. Classic Characters, Blood, Humor..and the reason for the ESRB.

30. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Xbox)Best Star Wars Game ever? Oh, you know it. Big Z's the Wookie.
29. Beyond Good and Evil (Xbox)An Awesome Game...too bad their will never be a Sequel due to the fact that it features a Pig Man and a Female Lead that keeps her clothes on.
28. SWAT 3 (PC)The only game with Rhyme Busting Cops. "Hands up Now. On the Ground. Do it NOW!"
27. Sinistar (Arcade)"RUN. RUN. COWARD!"
26. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)No, not the Beat-Em-Up! The first one, the Platform/Action one!
25. Beavis and Butthead in Virtual Stupidity (PC)Best Licenced Game Ever? Seems that way. I wish their was a 'Riddick' and 'Virtual Stupidity' for every 'Enter the Matrix'. Point n' Click gaming at its best.
24. The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind (Xbox)Elves. Orgs. Sheilds. Magic....I should hate this game.

17. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 (Dreamcast)I can't beleive that they didn't think to add Grinding untill the Second Game...
16. Super Mario Brothers (NES)"Eat a Magic Mushroom, Grow a little Higher. Eat a white Flower and Spit Balls of Fire."
15. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis)Way better then the First and Third ones, you know, its so good I just might think its better then Mario..
14. The Sims (PC)Like Splinter Cell, I like the Sequel more, but if it weren't for Sims, there would be no Sims 2. Eating and Pooping was never so much fun...or was it?

10. Megaman X (SNES)Alot faster then the original Megaman Games. Not the best Megaman Game, but it's close.

8. The Legend of Zelda (NES)Here we see a much more Violent and Ruthless Link that stabs an old man in the chest with the very Sword the Old man just gave him...
7. Metal Gear Solid (Playstation)The game that shocked stupid people when a Game Character asks you to put the controller on the ground and watch him "move it". They havent gotten over it yet.
6. Megaman 2 (NES)Best Video Game Music? Maybe. Megaman 2 is the best Platform/Shooter ever.
5. Sonic CD (Sega CD)This game has been in my top 5 ever since it came out. I doubt it'll ever move. This game is what Sega is all about (Well, used to be about.)
4. Street Fighter 2 (Arcade)One of the only Games I think is perfect. This is what all fighting games strive to be. In one game, Capcom created and perfected a whole Genre.
3. Duke Nukem 3D (PC)Ah, Duke. It was so hard picking my top 3. There really are no words to describe how Great Duke Nukem 3D really is..other then maybe "Holy S***!"
2. Day of the Tentacle (PC)I think I picked this over Duke because After I beat it the first time, it got scratched and It never worked again. I found it again in the store years Later and it's been on my Computer since.
1. The Secret of Monkey Island (Sega CD)While Duke Nukem 3D and Day of the Tentacle are so good I could put them as Number one...Monkey Island is the total package. Its longer the Day of the Tentacle, Funnier then Duke and DOTT, The Music is better, its More Creative, More Memorable...but then again, ask me another day and I could pick Duke...or Day of the Tentacle.
