Ok, so it's a direct rip off of Next Generation's Top 100 games of all time, but I couldn't fathom having a web page without sounding off about the video games I could not have lived the full, rich life I have without playing. (It's also a tip of the hat to NG, which I consider to be the best video gaming magazine.) It should be noted these are simply my personal favorites - your mileage may vary.
If you agree or disagree with any of my choices, or can't believe I left out your favorite game, email me! I promise I will write you back.
If you want to read more of my reviews, check out Tiptonium, where I frequently post reviews and rants. The latest and greatest videogame reviews (by people who actually have to pay for the games) are always there!
Without further ado, here are the games I could not live without:
Classics: Pac-Man Series - Asteroids - Marble Madness - Paperboy - Joust - Q*Bert - Qix - Mr. Do! - Mat Mania - Popeye
Retro Remakes: Tempest 2000 -- Defender 2000 -- Breakout 2000 -- Llamatron
Fighting : Tekken 2 & 3 -- Street Fighter II Series
Racing: Rally Cross / Rally Cross 2 -- Daytona USA
Shooters: R-Type -- Doom -- Better Dead than Alien
Sports: New Japan Pro Wrestling -- TV Sports Football -- Indoor Sports -- Zany Golf / Mini-Golf
Other: Virtual Light Machine (VLM) -- Archon -- The Secret of Monkey Island -- Defender of the Crown
Honorable Mentions: There are so many great games I should mention...so I'll just throw them here:
Arkanoid, Robotron, Defender, OutRun, WWF Superstars, WWF Wrestlefest, WWF Warzone, Space Harrier, Bomb Jack, Star Wars: The Arcade Game, Rainbow Islands, Tron, Castlevania (series), Super Mario Bros. 2 (and ONLY this one), X-Men vs. Street Fighter (arcade/Saturn only), San Francisco Rush, Alien vs. Predator, Time Crisis, Columns, Jungle Hunt, NFL Gameday (series), Midi Maze, Pinball Jam, A.P.B., Toobin', Menace, Blood Money, Pitfall II: Adventurer's Edition, Wolfenstein 3D, Contra, VR Baseball '99...the list goes on and on...it's great to be a gamer!
