1. Adventure Construction Set (Commodore 64)
2. Unreal Tournament 99 (PC)
3. Raiders of the Lost Ark (Atari 2600)
4. Battlefield 1942 (PC)

7. Madden series (PC; 2005 was the peak IMO)
8. College Hoops (PS/Xbox; one of the best sports series EVER)
9. Doom II (PC)
10. I am going to reserve this slot for the C64 and Atari 2600 classics that I KNOW I've forgotten.

[Anubis]

my brother played one of the GHs a lot and i was around to watch him and his friends play. i had 100% no interest in it then and i still don't. i've played 0.00 seconds of GH and RB

 

[Kabob]

I actually bought GH3 when it was $10 w/the guitar at Gamestop a year or two ago. Played it a little bit but it never really interested me.

 

[kalrith]

GH and RB are fun, especially with friends, but I don't think they should make any top 10 list.

Here are some of my favorites in no particular order:

Diablo 2
Warcraft 3
Tecmo Super Bowl
Secret of Mana
Final Fantasy 7
Super Mario Kart
Street Fighter 2
​

 

[gorcorps]

I completely forgot about Rock Band. That should probably be on my list too. I've put more time into that one than most other games I can think of, and it's by far the most money I've put into a game and still considered it "worth it". Not guitar hero, but Rock Band deserves to be on my list.

10. Final Fantasy XII (PS2)

And of course Madden, I've played more Madden than all of them combined, I've had every one since Madden 64 (which I think was the N64 version of '97). I even have two copies of '07! haha, one for gamecube, then one for PS3.

[thraashman]

These are in more or less order. One of the things that tells me a game deserves to be high on the list is if I was willing to replay it completely through. All of these I played completely through at least twice with Chrono Trigger topping the list of play throughs at 11, Vagrant Story in second with 7 play throughs, and the original Half-Life I think I beat 5 times.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Vagrant Story
Chrono Trigger
Half Life
Final Fantasy 7
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Thief: The Dark Project
Fallout 3
Metal Gear Solid
Oblivion
