Haha Shifty! You brought back some memories for me there. I remember when i first heard rumours of this "Grand Theft Auto" at school, and how violent it was
Not a good game, but paved the way for you know what... lol
to make it easier, i've simply included the best game from each series, obviously FF would occupy the first four slots in a proper list lol
Anyway, my list:
10. Bomberman 2 (and series) - play it with your mates, it's still as good fun now as it was ten years ago.
9. Super Mario Bros. (and series) - Can still play it now, enough said.
8. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 (and series) - If for nothing else but introducing me to a new genre of music!
7. Escape Velocity - Shareware game for the Mac back in the 90s, so so so addictive.
6. Pro Evolution Soccer 5 (and series, including ISS) - What would a top 10 list be without PES?
5. Twisted Metal 2: World Tour - Made in 1996, and still one of the most playable games on the PSX
4. Baldur's Gate (and series) - What a game, amazingly absorbing story. Brilliant.
3. Championship Manager 01/02 (and series) - The best and most addictive CM game to date, where would i be without CM?...
2. Civilization II - The most addictive game i've ever played, and i doubt there isnt a person on the planet who hasnt, at some point in their life, picked up a copy of Civ.
1. Final Fantasy VII (and series) - Easily the best game ever made, so far ahead of the rest it isnt even funny.
EDIT - just looked further up, Goldeneye should probably be at number 10, but for the sake of arguing i'll leave Bomberman there.
