Yeah, i do think we've done this before... but i'm game (no pun intended). My selection will also be very Nintendo-centric. I've owned nearly every Sega, Sony and MS (not to mention PCs) system yet produced... it's just that Nintendo produced games are consistently more fun to me than others.

In random order...

1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - no game combined a sense of exploration and adventure, production polish, and innovation on an established genre like this one did.

2. Donkey Kong Country 2 - original play mechanics, responsive controls, outstanding graphics, killer soundtrack, loads of fun.

3. Galaga - first arcade game i can remember playing. millions of dead space-bugs later and i haven't looked back

4. Goldeneye - the only fps i've played over and over. deep, balanced, fun... what more can you ask?

5. Street Fighter 2 - i like the old school 6 button 2d fighters. when you play someone good, it's like a game of chess played at warp speed. this title executes what it intends to very well.

6. Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - i've finished several FF's, Chrono Trigger, Golden Sun... and the rest. no turn-based rpg touches the action rpg, and no action rpg touches this title.

7. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island - the zenith of Miyamoto's 2D exploration, and it shows.

8. Super Mario 64 - although it blew away every one of its contemporaries, it has aged some. this game brings back some good memories... i think that's the main reason why it remains a favorite.

9. Super Smash Bros. Melee - direction stick + 4 buttons = the deepest fighting game of all time? yeah, it's strange but true. i used to hate this game till i "got it", i'm now an addict.

10. Tetris - if crack were made of 0's and 1's... it would be called Tetris.

Not too much further down the list:

Tekken Tag Tournament
Grand Tourismo 4
Super Mario Bros. 3
Pilotwings
Starcraft
MarioKart
Counterstrike/Team Fortress
Chrono Trigger
PunchOut!
Final Fantasy 7
