<p>Wow!! Thank you!! I think a lot of people hate 8 and think 7 is the greatest simply to fit in with the rest of the people.</p>

<p>Super Smash Brothers... the one on the N64 in my opinion was the best... Brawl is pretty good too. Whats with all the people into Melee... I always thought Melee sucked. Also, goldeneye on the N64 was fun as hell</p>

Besides the larger selection of cool characters, Melee is much faster-paced, much better graphically, has more stages, more techniques, and makes for excellent competitive play.</p>

<p>I hope people like everyone here go to my university, you all have great taste in video games. xP Everyone at my school doesn't even know half the names of the games listed here. The only games they ever play are modern shooting fests like Halo. Not that Halo is a bad game, though; I really enjoyed it on the PC. To them, though, anything that's not 3D and playable in hi-def just plain sucks.</p>

<p>I honestly think that it had the potential to be the greatest RPG ever. It's just too bad that the development team had to make it into such a teeny bopper soap opera, ignoring the development of the final boss and watering down the story (especially with the contrived twist about how they were all

<p>Still a great game, though. I guess I'll fill out the rest of my top 5 right now.</p>

<ol>
<li>Xenogears</li>
<li>Chrono Cross
3 and 4. FF7 and FF8 (tie)</li>
<li>Lunar 2</li>
</ol>

<p>I looked on ebay a couple days ago, and Final Fantasy VII's are selling for $30 - $45 and I was like w-t-f!?</p>

<p>Wow, well I am old school, Sega Genesis was my personal system(got about 100 games for it too). Thank god for emulators and pimping out other systems to play ROMs, can keep playing to this day.</p>

<p>My List:
Sonic(all Genesis/Game Gear, Sonic&Knuckles in particular)
Mario(NES)
Super Smash Brothers for n64
Mario Kart for n64</p>

<p>(Further FF8 spoilers: )
Yeah, I do get the sense that it could have been greater than it was (which was still great nonetheless). I agree that the twist you mentioned, especially as it involves Ellone- who I find really annoying- was lame. But it was the gateway into the Laguna story, who is my favorite Final Fantasy character and whose romance with Raine was also my favorite (read: the most tolerable, since the standard set by other games was not that high <em>cough</em> 10 <em>cough</em>)</p>

<p>I've heard sooo much about how it was a "you had to have been there, playing it when it came out" thing (the type of argument trendiness is made of) because the graphics were so revolutionary. But FF6 was the first game I played in the series and remains in my top 2 even after I've played later games, so... <em>shrug</em></p>

<p>lol... don't even get me started with FF10. What a let down that was.</p>

<p>Did you ever play Xenogears? The romance in that game is probably unparalleled in other squaresoft (or enix) RPGs. It was SORT of cliche... but it was still great and really felt believable, unlike that joke FF10.</p>

<p>Favourite character... that's actually an interesting topic. FF8 had really good characters; Squall, Laguna, and Seifer. I'd probably say that Delita is my favourite FF character. That whole laguna side story in FF8 was amazing, though... it felt so mysterious to me when I first played it, having no idea what was going on.</p>

<li>Starcraft</li>
<li>Donkey Kong Country</li>
<li>Super Mario RPG</li>
<li>Super Smash Bros Meleee</li>
<li>Goldeneye (I loved it at the time, but I can't stand it anymore after playing games lie counter strike)</li>

Yeah... and also it sucks. Whatever, maybe I just dislike it because I'm crap with the gc controller</p>

<p>^ I preferred n64 SSB because I remember playing at my friends house and kicking arse with Pikachu. I played Melee and I sucked! It might be the controller, I used an emulator and a usb gc and I was just mediocre, of course this was playing without other people(SSB is only real fun with other people to play against).</p>
