****, how did you guys narrow it down to a top 10? This shit is CROWDED.
Just from the SNES/SEGA era, I'd want to include like five games!
Any top 10 list for me absolutely needs to have a Mario game in it. At least one. I could legitimately make a case for Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart, Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the 7 Stars, Yoshi's Island..
I'd want another classic side-scroller from that era as well. Sonic the Hedgehog? Donkey Kong Country? Disney's Aladdin?
I'd need a fighter. Obvious choices are the original Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter II, though that first Tekken and MK11 are really fun.
Have to have a shooter somewhere. CoD: Modern Warfare 2 and Goldeneye 007 are the choices for me, but I'd have to shout out Doom and Black Ops as well.
Either Final Fantasy VII or Final Fantasy X has to make my list, no question. I've long thought X might actually be the superior game but VII holds a special place in my heart.
I'd need a sports game as well. Madden is my best choice, probably the 2004 edition. I did love me some NBA Jam, Tecmo Bowl and NFL/NBA Street, though! I just don't think I could justify putting those types of games on an all-time list.
A couple of franchises that are just too good not to have at least one on the list: Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Legend of Zelda, God of War.
I'm still wanting to add other games like Batman: Arkham City, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Resident Evil 4, Assassin's Creed II: Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Origins, Fallout: New Vegas, Skyrim, Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Civilization, Age of Empires/Mythology.
I'll need some time to think about this..
