shoot yourself in the back of the head so your family doesnt know its a suicide
Ethan Edwards
Why do you have Pokemon Red and Gold's release dates as 1998 and 2000 when they came out in 1996 and 1999 just like SMW came out in 1990?
Parker Green
Not op but why are you so upset friend? It's an interesting idea for a thread.
Liam Hernandez
I fear OP is to intelligent to get what you are saying
Hudson Nelson
Every game that you enjoyed? Cause if so, it's a pretty solid list
Aaron Hill

Daniel Howard
pretty good except for >2016 >2013 >2011 >2009 >2008 >2006
Oliver Fisher
Super Mario World was released in Japan in 1990. Pokemon Red/Blue and Pokemon Gold/Silver were released in Japan in 1996 and 1999. OP got the release dates for the two Pokemon games wrong.
you are all over the place. smw was 90 in japan, tmnt was 91 in arcades, the pokemon games in 00/98 were stateside. have some consistency my man
Grayson Scott
2016 - multiplayer casual shit 2015 - good story, bad game 2014 - retro shit 2013 - i think its ok 2012 - indie pixel shit. 2011 - not the best, but good 2010 - ok 2008 - what? Other is ok i think
Thomas Bennett
oh fuck im actually going to attempt this 2017: Breath of the Wild 2016: Tokyo Mirage Sessions 2015: Bloodborne 2014: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze 2013: Super Bing Bing Wahoo 3D World 2012: Kid Icarus Uprising 2011: Terraria 2010: Vanquish 2009: Little King's Story 2008: Persona 4 2007: Super Mario Galaxy 2006: Tie between God Hand and Mother 3 (it is extremely difficult to choose because those are easily top 5 of all time) 2005: Chibi-Robo 2004: Yume Nikki 2003: Kirby Air Ride 2002: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. I have no doubt that Jet Set Radio Future would replace it if I ever had the chance to play the game. 2001: Super Smash Bros Melee 2000: Pokémon Crystal 1999: Silent Hill 1998: LSD 1997: Megaman Legends 1996: Bing Bing Wahoo 64 1995: Donkey Kong Country 2 1994: Earthbound 1993: Gunstar Heroes

Connor Lee
Hit and miss I'll say. For me.
>1991 - Super Mario World (U.S. release date) >1992 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (again, U.S. release date...gonna keep this consistent) >1993 - SimCity 2000 >1994 - Final Fantasy VI (or III, rather) >1995 - Super Mario World: Yoshi's Island (sorry Chrono Trigger) >1996 - Super Mario 64 >1997 - Final Fantasy VII (honorable mentions include Mario Kart 64 and Riven: The Sequel to Myst) >1998 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time >1999 - Star Wars Episode I Racer (The Mac version, even if it came out a bit later. Had trouble thinking of 1999 games I played.) >2000 - Pokémon Gold (because it made the biggest impression at the time. Majora's Mask and Deus Ex are great contenders though). >2001 - The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (many notable candidates) >2002 - Super Mario Sunshine (I guess. I had trouble thinking of one for 2002) >2003 - SimCity 4 >2004 - Evil Genius >2005 - Psychonauts >2006 - Wii Sports (again, impressions count even if there was a lot of great stuff that year) >2007 - I Wanna Be The Guy >2008 - Braid >2009 - Batman: Arkham Asylum (honorable mention to Scribblenauts) >2010 - VVVVVV >2011 - Portal 2 >2012 - Retro City Rampage (again, I didn't have a lot of options as far as 2012 went, it was that or Katawa Shoujo) >2013 - The Shivah (the "Kosher Edition", which was the remake, again, a little light on "2013 games I actually played") >2014 - Five Nights at Freddy's (Throwaway year. See above. Really, though, 2012-2014 weren't great as far as games went.) >2015 - Prison Architect >2016 - INSIDE
Angel Sullivan
Yeah, I suppose I didn't stick to the actual rules. I was trying to stick to US release dates.. But it's my list so I don't really care.
Ayden Brown
Why is being retro or pixel bad? They're legit great games on their own.
Chase Roberts
You can't English.

1996 - Crash Bandicoot 1997 - Oddworld Abe'd Oddysee 1998 - Metal Gear Solid 1999 - Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage 2000 - Spyro 3: Year of the Drago 2001 - Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy 2002 - Ratchet and Clank 2003 - Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando 2004 - Sly 2: Band of Thieves 2005 - Shadow of the Collosus 2006 - Resistance: Fall of Man 2007 - Bioshock 2008 - Dead Space 2009 - Demon's Souls 2010 - Vanquish 2011 - Dark Souls 2012 - Dishonoured 2013 - Rahman Legends 2014 - Sunset Overdrive 2015 - Bloodborne 2016 - DOOM 2017 (so far) - Nier Automata
1997-2005 is all extremely hard to choose, after that it became a struggle. Only a few years 2006-2016 were tough choices. Some were hard to choose for opposite reason, "which game did I kind of enjoy the most" very few left a lasting impact on me.
Nathan Fisher
Last Guardian was way too glitchy. Jak and Daxter is a good pick, Jak 2 is not.
Chase Perry
Okay, this guy knows what's up. DKC2 is better than Yoshi's Island though.
Juan Perry
Oh shit dude I remember Little King's Story. I borrowed it from a buddy for a while and holy jeez was it fun. I wish I wasn't so jaded these days and games like that would reignite that spark in me to play games again.
Jace Wilson
Ah fuck you OP, i will not update this shit since the year i was born
just imagine inserted doom in every year since 1993
Ryan Carter
guy who made the list, I'm inclined to agree. I like Yoshi's Island, but in all honesty I prefer DKC2.
Jose Young
Kid Icarus Uprising? That games shitty controls keep it away. Spiderman is a great choice though.
Kayden Turner
yeah but the phisical pain i felt just made the fucking ball busting dificulty of the later stages that more satisfying >chapter 21 and 22 Absolute the best thing nintendo ever made.
Logan Diaz
>Ghost Trick
Good taste
Jack Lee
>Donkey Kong County >county
sounds like a pretty short game user
Dylan Miller
Alright giving this shit a shot. You better give me (You)s Sup Forums. I'm not doing this for my fucking health!

2004 was the first year I read through doing this list where I was legit torn on several titles. Until then I had the opposite problem and just crammed in whatever I was playing that year despite not enjoying it that much.
