For those of you who, like me, watch ~SuperPrincessAngela, you may know that she just did a tag journal listing her top ten favourite games. And now, I aim to do the same! (Mostly because I was tagged to do so!)

Most of these, I imagine, won't surprise anyone... anyway, to the point:


#1- Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)
- One of the most anticipated Mario games... at least at that time.
- Established so many things for Mario's world that are now staple material.
- Can't deny the nostalgia. Sure, it's not the best Mario game, I know, but for those who were there when it happened...
- I cried when I beat this game. CRIED, man! It was one of the best days of my LIFE!!

#2- Super Mario Bros. (NES)
- The first game I ever saw. I was entranced. It's what got me into games!
- The simplicity and fluidity of the game's physics and appearance make it a work of art.

#3- Super Mario 64 (N64)
- It was a game I could really get engrossed in.
- The visuals were amazing, and the music really complimented the feel of the game.

#4- Tetris (GB, keychain, DS, NES, cell phone)
- Yeah... I have a half dozen ways to play it. Tetris is just that game I can pick up anytime and play. I started with the original GB version when I was about 7, and never really stopped playing.
- I play it a lot with ~SuperPrincessAngela, though she beats me a lot now!

#5- Super Mario World (SNES)
- Such a great expansion on the series.
- Great game mechanics and an excellent learning curve/challenge.
- Again, very immersive.

#6- Super Mario Bros 2 (NES)
- I put hours into this game,
- Felt like such a different turn from the original (Since we had no idea it wasn't really a Mario game).
- Regardless, many elements of this game came back later as established Mario enemies.

#7- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
- Do I really need the reasons? It's considered one of the best games of all time.
- You can play through it, and then start over, and it is still fun!
- I do love the whole series, notably LoZ:LttP, and Loz:LA, not to mention the NES ones, but this one is by far, my favourite.

#8- Super Mario Kart (SNES)
- Such a different and innovative racing game, unlike any others of its time.
- Multiplayer was great. Simple to learn, but hard to truly master.
- Again, I do love the whole series, notably MKDS, and MK64, but this one is by far, my favourite.

#9- Super Metroid (SNES)
- Took the original formula and improved or added so much.
- Again, I do love the whole series, notably the NES Metroid, and Fusion on GBA, but this one is by far, my favourite.

#10- Kirby's Adventure (NES)
- It was pretty long for an NES game, and provided a fair challenge.
- Very colourful, with nicely established world themes.
- A lot of variety in backgrounds, music, and bosses.
- Again, I do love the whole series, notably the KSS/KSSU; KD 1,2 & 3; K64; spinoffs like Avalanche and Dream Course; and many others, but this one was probably my favourite.

And there we have it. Keep in mind, these are my favourites of all time. If I were asked what my current favourites were, I'd have to say Kirby 64, Super Mario Galaxy, and Oblivion on PC (Reiterating what Angela said - the game is huge, with almost endless quests, and the visuals are beautiful). Of course, these are current obsessions. Perhaps in a year, I'd say something completely different. But, these 10 listed here will always hold their places as my favourites.

NOW, as for tagging... Angela already did tag some of my own watchers, who I'm sure will love to do this sometime (I'm looking at you, Artemendo, Atticus and Faye!), but I'd like to add:



...and anyone else who wants to do it!
