Bah. Now I have to tell you WHY?

I'm just a mondo Zelda fan. Really. It was one of the first games I remember playing, and to this day I'm still addicted. That should explain all the Zelda games up there.

Super Robot Wars 3 was actually translated by a guy I know, and I have a blast playing through it. I mean, it's a universe where Gundam and Mazinger exist together. If your computer can run ROMs and Emulators, be sure to grab the Japanese ROM of this and I'll toss ya the patch for the English Translation.

I don't know why, but Sonic 3 always stood out to me to be excellent. Perhaps it was the new graphics in the game, or the new shields. Not quite sure.

I'm an SNK fanboy at heart. With SNK reopening its doors in the US, it only brings back my love for them. Oh yeah, and they're gonna release Samurai Showdown Zero stateside. x)

... Gundam's self explanitory.

If you haven't played Symphony of the Night, you really need to. It mixes all the previous Castlevania games and then slaps an RPG element in there. Add in some really cheesy voice acting, and you have yourself a perfect game. x)
