Ok, sounds fun to me. My top 10:

1. Super Metroid: The first Metroid was just far too basic, and I never played the second one. But This game was absolutely perfect. As a kid I could get lost in time searching for more bombs, super bombs, energy packs and everything. And something I really enjoyed about this game the first time through was that you could just stumble upon a boss without any idea it was coming, which made it interesting. Even after playing through the game, you knew you'd never find all of the secret rooms and passageways to get more stuff, which kept it interesting. The story line was interesting too, and this was one of the first games I ever got.

2. The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time: Do I really need to say anything? Add to the complete awesomeness of this game that it was the first N64 game I ever owned, and this is pretty much tied for that top spot.

3. Super Smash Bros. - Well Melee was completely different than either of the other two, and I don't like the Wiimote, so I'll go old school and pick the first Smash Bros. I played this game a lot when it first came out and I was like 10 years old, I loved kicking ass with Pikachu. Like Booboo said, these games were meant for people that don't like fighting games, and it captured that perfectly.

4. Earthbound Earthbound was unbelievably fun. What other RPG let you fight with a frying pan or a yo-yo, among various other objects? I think the point of the game was to make fun of American culture, it was pretty much a parody, and they were spot on. The story line is pretty good too, and the battles were a lot of fun.

5. Chrono Trigger I think maybe this should be higher on my list, but I'm not sure where else to put it. This game kicked ass, you get to travel around through time attempting to save the future world you see by beating the boss in the past. Along the way you fight a whole host of enemies from the different times and use techs to battle in Final Fantasy style active battle.

6. Sonic 3 & Knuckles Why would this not be the best Sonic game? It takes everything that people loved about 2, and adds in the ability to play as Tails or Knuckles. Plus, in this one you can be Tails and fly, which is pretty cool. The levels are bigger and less straight forward. The story line is actually pretty cool and a lot more important than the other games. I liked the Genesis a lot too, but this is probably the only game I'm putting in my top 10.

7. Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare This game pretty much dominates any other FPS I can think of. The main game is a lot of fun, but the online and multiplayer is what pushes it over the top. It's definitely my favorite game for the new systems, and the best to play when you're just hanging out with a few friends. I hope the second one is better, but I'm a bit skeptical. And World at War couldn't compare, they made it a lot less realistic and a lot less fun.

8. Gran Turismo 4 Best racing game ever created. It has tons of tracks, including some real world ones. There's cars from back in the 1800s and up through the future. The controls are great, and you have the option of playing b-spec. That mode puts you as a crew chief, so you control how fast and aggressively the driver of the car goes and when he has to stop for pit stops and so on.

9. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Grand Theft Auto 3 revolutionized the series by taking it to the PS2 with better graphics and so on, but San Andreas was better as far as I'm concerned. It had a better story, and they added a lot to the game. Plus, it was set in the 80s, which added much more of a comedic factor to the game. And who doesn't enjoy running around blowing **** up until you have 6 stars and trying to evade the cops? Or stealing fast cars and launching them off huge jumps?

10. Starcraft The only RTS game, besides Warcraft 3, that I was ever able to really get into. This is a very old PC game, but aged unbelievably well. Blizzard did an excellent job of balancing the 3 races, and the concept of a game in space is really fun as well; you can kind of have space battles with battleships and carriers and other flying vehicles. Rushing in with 100000 zergs was always fun to, and you could take over enemy command centers which was always entertaining. Definitely the best PC game ever created.
