Your Top Ten List (Descriptive!)

[Taco-Calamitous]

10) Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) At least one of these games has to make it onto my top 10. I would almost include A Link to the Past, as per I absolutely loved that game for years, but that game hasn't really aged well for me. This one, however, included a huge, immersive world to explore (probably my favorite attribute about it) along with the fantasy setting (probably my second favorite attribute about it.) All the dungeons were really fun to solve. I still haven't solved Ganondorf's tower, however... it'll be a little while before I can, too; my N64 is still being loaned out after however many months.) Note: I haven't played Twilight Princess yet.

9) Warcraft III (PC) Perhaps one of the only reasons this game isn't a lot higher on my list is because I couldn't really play it for all that long; my computer would always freeze up after a certain time of playing it. I also wasn't able to figure out the map editor as well as the one in its predecessor, Warcraft II. Still, it expanded on one of my favorite universes with a much more interesting story, the inclusion of several more races, and the introduction of "neutral units."

8) Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX) This game deserves a bit of recognition. It combines two of my favorite genres; that of RPG and Strategy. This game can be enjoyed for the random battles alone, and leveling up your characters. My second play through, I started using chocobos and dragons, along with a priest and a lancer (lancer is probably my favorite class. Either that, or monk.) The story is also amazing, and amazingly complicated. Some people complain about keeping track of all the characters, but I really enjoyed the huge cast, along with all the plot twists and such.

7) Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES) Back in the day, man, I played this game through like 13 times, or so. Just loved the colorful worlds and characters; Geno and Croco are two of my all time favorites. I liked the cute character designs, too. It's a pretty short game, however, so there isn't much deviation to what you can do as you play through (although I suppose you can pick and choose the teams you use. Every time I played this game initially, I'd always use Bowser and Geno. Then, this last time I played through, I switched Geno out for the Princess, and I've found that she's actually really valuable to have as a healer character. I also noticed that the regular battles were a bit harder than I remembered them, and that the boss fights were a bit easier this time.) I loved the battle system, too, with its "timed attacks."

6) Pokemon Red/Blue (Game Boy) I was full into the Pokemon craze when it first hit here in the US in 1998. I'd already been watching the cartoon for a couple months before I finally got the games. The games were so much better than the show, however. I got both versions and played them for like 5 or 6 months, until I caught all 150 pokemon. I think the bigger thing for me, however, was "raising" these teams of pokemon. I loved my charizard (who I named "Ralph.") Maybe a bit too much, however; he got to be like ten or fifteen levels higher than all my other pokemon at one point, and we all know that that does not cut it in the world of pokemon, because you need all of your pokemon to be strong.

5) Final Fantasy 6 (SNES) Back in the Summer of 2001, I finally played this game... and then I played it again. Definitely my favorite game in the series, I loved the huge cast, and the fact that nearly all of them had their time in the spot light, and not one took all of the lime light (although it could be argued that several took a large chunk of it.) Plus, it had my favorite Final Fantasy hero and villain, in Locke Cole and Kefka (also two of my favorite heroes and villains, period.)

4) Crystalis (NES) Wow, this game is old school. A wonderful cross between fantasy and science fiction, with an Apocalypse that takes place in 1997. My first real RPG (aside from Dragon Warrior or Zelda II) I loved running around, fighting stuff to level up, talking to people and searching for the way to the next area. It's probably the first game I played that really involved a lot of exploration at all. It was my favorite game until I played Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (which maybe strangely is not above this game anymore...)

3) Super Smash Brothers Melee (GCN) Two years or so ago, this was what I did. I managed to unlock just about everything. I never managed to beat it in on hard or really hard, but I've nanaged to take the title of "best at this game" among my friends (although the last time my friend from the Air Force was here, he put that into question... I'd kicked his but a million times before that, however.) Anyhoo, I love most of the characters (Fox will always be my main man, then possibly Yoshi) and all the... stuff from other games. I just love the concept of all these mascots fighting each other. I can't wait to see who's in the next game, either.

2) The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (XBox) I played this game to death, doing every possible thing I could and visiting every square inch of land in the game that I could, I think. I loved exploring the world and sneaking/forcing my way in where I didn't belong. I also thought all the character/monster designs were pretty cool, too (although most of the female character faces were fairly... not attractive. Oh well; that's not what I played the game for!) If my XBox hadn't broken, I'd probably be playing this still.

1) Warcraft II: The Tides of Darkness (PC) Back in the day, I played this game all day, every day. That was my Summer of '96, along with pizza from Izzy's Limousine, the music groups Oasis, Blondie, Orange Astronauts, & etc, and eventually The Hobbit. Warcraft II lasted for me for another several years after that, too. The map editor was probably one of the big things for me. Also, exploring maps, and the "epic" battles that occured in the games. I also love fantasy stuff, which this is filled with. But anyway, yeah; I have really dear memories of this game.

There are a lot of games that I've thoroughly enjoyed in the past that should probably get some sort of mention, so here they are, in no particular order:

-Super Metroid
-Super Mario World
-Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
-Paper Mario
-Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
-Star Fox
-Star Fox 64
-Star Fox Adventures
-The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
-The Legend of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
-Chrono Trigger
-Chrono Cross
-The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
-Metroid II: The Return of Samus
-Final Fantasy 7
-Final Fantasy 9
-Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
-Kirby Super Star

Anyhoo, I think I'm done.

Wuv, Yer Mom

10.[B][Legend of Zelda- Master Quest/B](N64) I love this game. Few People can say they have mastered this one, well I'm one of them. The game is so freaking hard I literally stop playing for 2 months

9.Killer Instinct Gold(N64) Now this is a Fighting game worth remembering. The things you could do in the game. What other game you know that has a combo theory. The graphics were amazing and the gameplay outstanding

8.Super Mario 64(N64) I played this game every single day back then. I played it so much I played it with my eyes closed. i wouldn't even eat. I lost ten pounds of this game.

7.Kingdom Hearts 1/2(PS2) When I first heard of this game I said that i couldn't be done. Final Fantasy mixed With Disney, come on now. But when i got it it blew me away. And thats all I have to say.

6.Devil May Cry 1/3(PS2) When I first played this game it was at night. It scared the craped at of me, but this game was fun with alot of action. The music always kept on edge as well as the story. i never manage to beat it on Dante Must Die Mode though

5.Final Fantasy VIII(PS) I like this so much i actually beat it in one straight day. I like the music. Calm and relaxing but has and uptempbeat at times. I the thing i didn't like was the melodramatic love story in this one. Maybe because I had just recently broken up with my girlfriend at time.

4.Tekken 3(PS) This is one of the fight that got me hook on it since the first one. Especially because me and my friends used to beat money. I won load of money because of this game (and the Street Fighter Series).

3.Sonic the Hedgehog(Sega Genesis) I remember me playing this game all time. It was the only game i played for the Genesis. The sonic games back then are better than the ones today in my opinion.

2.Final Fantasy XII(PS2) I got this game and still haven't beat it yet. I have at least 80 hoursof gameply and still have a crapload of thing to do. I remember playing all night this game trying to beat Zodiark and still haven't beat him yet.

Andmy all-time favorite game is.....

1. Final Fantasy VII(PS) I don't need to explain why this is my all-time favorite game. Just read all the article on this game and you'll see what I mean
