Here's my original list with comments
In no particular order
1. Commander Keen
I played with it for hours as a youngster on our old 286 pc. It was one of the first games developed by the legendary ID software studios (of Doom and Quake fame) They were 'Shareware' and i got the disks off a nerd friend who probably got them off a pc magazine or the shop in town that used to sell demo disks for like 3 quid each. I played them to death until one day I finally got my hands on a full version.
It was good ould craic
2. Megaman
Megaman on the NES was awesome platforming loveliness. Took a lot of dedication to beat the games but there was always something more to experience on the next level. When you beat a boss you got to play with his abilities so you got to ammass a mega man army as the game progressed.
I played the games on the NES and the SNES and they're probably still making them but they were at their best back in the late 80s early 90s
3.Donkey Kong
I still play these games sometimes. The graphics were and still are beautiful and every level is different. And I still hate those a%%hole bees!!
4.Mario
Super Mario Brothers was the first game I ever played on a console. My Father bought us a NES for christmas and he stayed up all night playing it before we woke up to the sounds of him collecting coins from a coin stone. The first game is awesome, hard to beat the first time, but when you've mastered it, you can have mario races, where you start at level 1.1 and race through the entire game using warp zones and and beat the final boss as fast as possible. My memory isn't reliable, but I seem to remember our record at beating Mario start to finish was something like 3 minutes.
Mario 3 was another awesome game and the lost worlds took the levels we had loved and mastered and made them about 10 times harder.
5. Toca/Race Driver
The first TOCA race driver game made me wish i had a Vauxhal vectra or a honda accord (the honda was the fastest car in the game. The controls were hard to master, really sensitive and twitchy at high speeds, but once you got your breaking points right, you could absolutely fly around the track.
This was the first game I remember with proper realistic damage to the cars and TOCA 2 was the first game I played in Surround Sound. I remember playing on the Sitting room floor with the sound turned up and hearing a car spin out behind me and thinking that this is the best game ever
6. Wipeout
Wipeout was hard, really really hard, especially as you moved up to the faster vehicles but it was also unbelievably awesome.
The music was brilliant, the controls were tricky but consistent so you could master them and the weapons were great. Wipeout 2147 was the game that made it socially acceptable to play video games. The music was all licensed by some of my favourite bands, the game was sharper, smoother and faster than the original and I loved it.
7. Resident evil
Resident Evil was survival horror, none of this rubbish Dead rising or COD zombie mode that youngsters have these days. In RE1, you spent a lot of the time getting frightened and trying to survive with one bullet left and zombies crashing through walls unannounced.
RE2 was in the same spirit as RE, but from resident evil 3, it started to turn into a shooter more than a survival horror and it lost some magic.
8. Battlefield
Nobody else agrees with me, but Battlefield 2 Modern Combat on the PS2 was one of the best games ever. It was the first console game I bought it just for the online multiplayer and i played it for days on end. Don't get this mixed up with the PS3 version, it was a completely different game, but it was the only game on the PS2 where you could drive vehicles, work as a team and shoot other people. It's main rival was the Socom series which were ok, but I never really got into them because the multiplayer was missing something. Socom was alright, but it wasn't fun enough and you kept getting shot in the head by a sniper completely hidden in a full blown Guille suit from halfway across the map. Snipers were in BF2MC too, but if they shoot you once, you get to come back in a chopper and place a rocket up their ass
I've been playing Battlefield 3 on the xbox 360 for over a year and a half now and it's easily the best game for the Xbox (IMO). It's bloody hard though
9. Tekken
I was gonna say Street fighter because it was fun and everyone's played it, but Tekken is just a better game. The controls were intuitive (each button controls one limb and you can work out combos from there without having to memorise the moves list). The characters were varied and you could pick up the game and play it with someone better than you, and still have some chance of winning just by playing smart. Most other fighting games rely too much on luck or practise (learning off the moves) which makes it less fun to play against friends who have never played it before, and that's what fighting games are supposed to be about.
10 Mariokart
Mariokart for the SNES was the perfect arcade racing game and the battlemode was brilliant fun
Mariokart for the WII is still in the top 5 games released on that platform. Perfectly balanced and executed and deserve to make anyone's top 100 -
