What would be the list of your top 5 games of your life?
No genre or console lock, everything from tv, pc, board, multi player or single player.. you name it..
The game that you can play forever and whenever and still be just as good as the first time as you sat down with it?

Share your nostalgia with others.

Hmm yeah, this is going to be pretty subjective, but here goes!
Top 5, but not necessary in this order:

1. Ragnarok Online
I can't even count the hours or days I've been playing this game, the amount of people I've met in it and still have contact with, and I keep coming back to it every odd year just to enjoy the atmosphere of the best online game I've ever played.

2. Final Fantasy VII
I can't count how many times I've finished this game, but it's a lot. The last time I even managed to master 17 counter-attack materias, killing the hardest bosses with just leaving the controller on the floor. I really hope we get to see a GOOD remake of this game in the future.

3. Castlevania SOTN
Ahh, i do love metrovanias, and SOTN is in a league of it's own, and also the first Metrovania i played. I've cleared it a couple of times, and even pondered to run it, but it's not as fun to run as CV:HoD in my opinion. Still the animations and graphics was so superior at the time and it's timelessly good.

4. Elasto Mania
The first game i "speedran". Back in the days I was competing for the WR times (And I was pretty close on some levels too), and I don't know why but I have a soft spot for 2D Motocross games, countless hours spent playing this game, and still looking for a game that's equally good for android; until then I have Bike Race to play on it which I do have at least 2 World Records in.

5. Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
I was part of the fighting-game community before, and this game is the best fighting-game i've ever played, and I'm also pretty skilled at it.. The amount of Hype it generates, and the amount of reward for reading the opponent really makes it skill-based. This youtube video says it all:

So far I don't really have a top 5 my self since I usually cant replay a game more then once..
But for now I will have one on my list and that's an rpg card game called spank the monkey..

Currently, 999 for the DS is my favorite game followed by Skies of Arcadia. Other than that I find it too hard to compile a list of my favorite games and almost all of them are retro games. But the following games will be in that list:
1. Super Mario Bros 3
2. Terranigma
3. Donkey Kong Country 2
4. Super Mario Kart
5. Donkey Kong (game boy version)

But I cannot decide which Zelda I like most.

1 Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
2 The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
3 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
4 Super Mario World
5 The Lion King

It's hard to list 5 games in a list like this. I'm sure of my first two picks but the three other games is just games that i really like.

It would be too hard for me to list 5 games in ordre so I'll just name them:
- Unreal Tournament 99
- Midtown Madness 2
- Dead Space
- Kirby's Dream Land
- 1564561 other games ( I basically can't decide between MK64/SSB64/DuckTales/F-Zero X/etcetcetcetc.. )

1. Starcraft: Brood War (that one was easy).
2. Starcraft 2 (mostly because of the editor and the opportunities it brings).
3. Half Life (and the revolutionary counter strike)
4. Braid (I wish it was longer)
5. Heroes 3 of might and magic.

But there is sooo much more:
- First civilization game.
- Colonization.
- Warlocks 2.
- ZZT (lol)
- The Incredible machine (TIM)
- Terminal Velocity.

ok... I'll stop now....

It's hard to pick just 5. If I exclude speed running concerns I may end up with a list like this, in no particular order:

Super Mario Bros. 3
Phantom Brave
Doom 2
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
Mega Man 2

With a second tier of something like

Faxanadu
Legend of Zelda
F-Zero
Civilization
Space Harrier

Dangit I just realized I omitted Tetris Game Boy, heh.
