I will now evaluate your favorite games, while including none of my own. Therefore, I may mock without fear of being mocked in return!
I can't believe you left off the Shining Force games. Shining Force 1 and Warsong were the games that convinced me to spend the money for a Genesis. Secret of Mana, since I played it two-player with my friend, probably also would go high on my list.
I really liked Warcraft II and Starcraft. Morrowind was a well-done game.
Sid Meier's Civ games are also easily top 10 for me.
But the game I have the most fond memories about is still probably Final Fantasy I. Like VII was when it came out, it was revolutionary. No console RPG had come CLOSE to lasting 20 hours, with Dragon Warrior only reaching around 8. I remember getting the boat from the Pirates, and thinking I should be near the end, but that was barely 1/20th of the way into the game. It would probably suffer terribly in my estimation if I played it now, but that's why I refuse to replay it!
Loser! At least play VI on PC! This was great though, in sheer number of hours played, only Ultima IV on the old Commodore 128 could match it for me. I somehow missed V.Xiang Zhuang wrote:24. Ultima VI: The False Prophet (SNES)

I really liked the storyline of 3, but the battles, especially when you used magic, were weak. Two was good as well.Xiang Zhuang wrote:18. Suikoden III (PS2)
I never really played any Zelda's really after Zelda II. Not sure why, they seemed to be good games.Xiang Zhuang wrote:17. The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time (N64)

Really, this was a pretty lame game. But I played it a lot. I guess that makes me lame too. I had like . . . 8000 Pikemen!Xiang Zhuang wrote: 16. King's Bounty (Genesis)
Simply awesome. I loved it, and while I like Star Wars, I'm usually not a fan of Star Wars games. This one was superb.14. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (XBox)
VII was a great leap. I played III some, but probably played IV the most. I'm pretty fond of X as well.12. Romance of the Three Kingdoms VII (PS2)
8. Romance of the Three Kingdoms III (SNES)
I played one of the Tecmo games on Sega Genesis a whole lot, but can't remember which one it was. I loved the Houston Oilers - Moon to Slaughter or Jefferies for an 80 yard TD!11. Tecmo Super Bowl: Final Edition (SNES)
I have great memories of this series. But I tried replaying VII and realized that the storyline and dialogue are downright awful. Makes me wish I hadn't replayed it so I could have retained my nostalgia. VI is still very fondly remembered, and I am reluctant to replay it.9. Final Fantasy VII (PSX)
4. Final Fantasy VI (SNES)
Yes! Superb! Pirates was a close second at the time, but this game was great.6. Unchartered Waters (SNES)
This game was really solid, especially for the NES. Not #3 solid, but solid.3. The Magic of Scheherazade (NES)
This was very, very good. The only gripes I had were the special characters were way too good compared to the standard ones, and that Calculators made the game way too easy.2. Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX)
Never played it.1. Super Monaco Grand Prix (Genesis)
