5. Resident Evil
The first game to ever scare me. (Yes, I know it's cheesy as hell but back in the day this game was groundbreaking.)
4. Super Mario Bros.
I played the hell out of this back in the day, and hell I still pull it out and play it every once in a while. And it's success pretty much launched the platform game genre, which overall is my favorite genre.
3. Metroid
So awesome.
2. The Legend of Zelda
It was a tossup between this, A Link to the Past, or Ocarina of Time. Finally decided on this because without it there wouldn't be any others.
And my number one favorite game:
1. GTA San Andreas
This is the game that I keep going back to more than any other. I've beaten it several times, and I almost never get tired of playing it. And it has THE BEST soundtrack of any game, ever (well, non-game music soundtrack anyway).
And yes I realize that there are three NES titles on that list. So what, I'm a nostalgic fanboy
