Mine will be in no particular order, because quite honestly it'd be too much of a pain to decide the order.

1. Pacman
2. Frogger
3. You know that game at the tavern with the weird rolling ball thing that you use to bowl? Yeah that.
4. Tapper
5. Final Fantasy X
6. Mrs. Pacman


Ok, ok, seriously. But it still won't be in order.

1. Shining Force I and II
2. Dragon Force!
3. Shenmue
4. Lufia series
5. Chrono Trigger
6. Final Fantasy Tactics (How could no one mention this?!)
7. FF VII
8. Lunar series
9. Phantasy Star series (no, not online)
10. Fable

Man, do you have any idea how hard it is to remember every game I've ever played?

1. Shining Force I and II ( Sega Genesis)

From a time back when video games were video games. I strongly dislike the era that emphasizes more on graphics then gameplay and plot. So you'll probably see a lot of old school titles like this in my favorites. It may not be as pretty as the new-age stuff...but damn was it a good game. I still replay them every now and then.

2. Dragon Force ( Sega Saturn)

No one's ever, ever, ever, ever heard of this game. Ever. However, they should. It was an incredibly unique game for it's time, and even today I've not seen something that really matches it's game style. It was just really fun, there was nothing like unleashing a sonic blast against 100 dragons rushing at you and watching it cut down their forces in half. I've replayed it enough to have beaten it with all 8 characters as well. >.>

3. Shenmue ( Sega Dreamcast)

Much like Dragon Force being my sole reason for owning a Sega Saturn (or at least...keeping one until it was sold against my will)...this was the only reason I wanted a dreamcast. Amazing game, in my opinion. Blends a lot of different styles of gameplay, very immersing, very fun. I was sad that it only took me a couple days to beat, and even more so that it's an incomplete game. Kind of like a "to be continued thing" which...they never imported the second one to the states for this system! ><

4. Lufia series (Super Nintendo...and I think some GBA)

Mostly I refer to I and II though. However III has an absurdly unique ...combat system for games of this genre. Think FF style, only you have 9 characters out on the field, and you select one from each column per turn and they're all technically in combat and targetable - they also all link to each other in adjacent stat bonuses. O.o The first two don't use that system however. They're just great RPGs.

5. Chrono Trigger ( Super Nintendo)

A frog knight? Really? Does it get any cooler then that? Seriously though, one of the best RPGs of all time ...a must play.

6. Final Fantasy Tactics ( Playstation)

I'm still amazed this wasn't mentioned yet. And if you're wondering why, go play it. It'll explain everything. If I HAD to choose a number one game, this very likely would have been it.

7. Final Fantasy VII ( Playstation)

This game needs no words.

8. Lunar Series ( Originally Sega CD)

This game was remade so many times it's ridiculous. Sega CD, then Sega Saturn, then Playstation, and I've been informed it's currently on Gameboy Advance as well! That's a lot of re-releases over the years. Rightfully so too, there's a reason this series was adapted to so many different consoles. Although, I've only played the original Sega CD version...so I'm unaware if anything has been changed in one of the recent releases.

9. Phantasy Star series (Sega Genesis)

Mainly, I think of the fourth when I say this, generations of doom is up there as well. Never played any other RPG where you play through a characters family history. x.x;;; When you get really involved in a plot and attached to the characters, I think that's a sign of a good game. PH IV does that, and much like when Aeris died (C'mon we all cried >.> ) this game got me to cry too. Besides! What other game involves the main character banging someone seventeen years under the legal age and can make it seem legitimate?

10. Fable (X-box)

Did anyone else sacrafice the virgin children at midnight for the Skurm's bow or whatever? Man was that thing awesome.
