Personal Pastime Preference Poll (without the poll)

[Emanresu13]

I was originally thinking about overrated games, but why not take it a little further? These aren't necessarily THE top, but close enough. Ordered roughly by age. Feel free to do lists of ten, one per console, one per year, whatever you want. Not posting is cool, too. I might come back later with five more per category, eheh.


five best - reducing this list to just five is difficult
Super Mario Bros 3 - First game I ever beat. Pretty heavy nostalgia.
Majora's Mask - The moon. Creepy! Intense! Hey, I have this stamp... lol.
Chrono Cross - Dat plot O_o
MGS3: Snake Eater - All those secrets/easter eggs, wow.
Demon's Souls - Refreshingly old-school modern game.

five overrated* - silly people tout these, even if they've never played em
Super Mario Bros 3 - I love it to death, but admit it's overrated.
Chrono Trigger - See above for the true champ. Double/triple techs are better here, though.
Super Metroid - I was reluctant to include this, but had to.
Ocarina of Time - NOT the best game ever, okay? 9/10
Final Fantasy 7 - People just distracted by Sephiroth's long sword, long hair, long dong.

five underdog - this is the category to dump dreamcast games
Castlevania 64 - Still the best 3D Castlevania, IMO.
Mischief Makers - Holy woahly! A shame it's best played on a N64 controller.
Grandia 2 - There's an older thread about great RPG combat systems. Here ya go.
Shenmue - Wake up. Go to the arcade. Play Hang-On. Revenge can wait.
Dokapon Kingdom - Played with friends, beyond amazing.


*Activision "games" not listed due to being abominations.

Ocarina of Time is pretty overrated for being the BEST game of all time. However it does stand as one of the best Zelda games ever created imo

Ill start with five as well but probably cant remember the absolute best right off the top of head.

Five best
Baten Kaitos: Beautiful game and mind blowing plot twists :O
Final Fantasy IX: Best in the series imo. Most fun I had in any FF.
Paper Mario: Best was the first for the N64 imo. Too much to say. Just <3
Tales of Destiny II: Memories, memories, memories! Plus just a beautiful storyline.
Star Ocean 2: Battle System + Customizing + Skills + Voice Acting = So much win

Five overrated
Final Fantasy 7: Without a doubt. 'Nuff said
Sims Series: Again...without a doubt. Fun yea, like FF7, good game, just definitely not that amazing.
CoD Series: Fun, but compared to other games, not even close
WoW: Ragnarok, Dragonica, Grand Chase, TAO, FFR, All way better but not as advertised. Thats the only reason its so popular.
Runescape: Same as WoW

Five underdog
Banjo Kazooie/Banjo Tooie: Very good series, needs more attention.
Earthbound: Hilarious game
Torneko: Think I spelt it wrong but its a puzzle rpg. Very fun.
Chocobo's Dungeon 2: Same concept as Torneko, just more amazing storyline.
Super Monkey Ball series: Its just creative and fun as hell. Just lacks attention.
