Favorite Games
by RoyalRanger


Everyone has games that they particularly like, and I'm not excluded from this law of nature. I have my biases as well, and I'm about to present them to you with my list of the current Top 25 Favorite Games of mine. I never owned any system later than a Super NES, and I don't even have many games for that system, so the loss of any 3D games or many RPGs isn't some sort of hatred for them, it's only due to the fact that I haven't played as many games as many other gamers may have, thus why this list is limited to only the top 25 games.


#25: Tetris (NES)

 
Tetris is a gaming legend in its own right. It not only had me and many others engrossed in its gameplay, but it also spawned many "clones" of the sort, such as Dr. Mario. But even with games like Dr. Mario, which I particularly like as well, Tetris still remains my favorite puzzle game of the type.


#24: Captain Skyhawk (NES)

 
Captain Skyhawk was the very first aerial shooter that I really fell in love with. It was jam-packed with varying missions and goals, all in an attempt to blow some invading aliens away from the planet. I always liked the way the isometric-3D structure of the game was assembled, and I also always liked the boss battles involving enemy bases.


#23: Paperboy (NES)

 
I always liked Paperboy, from the time I first played it after renting it from a video store. It's fun dodging run-away tornados and hideous humans seeming to be bent on your destruction. All while you deliver newspapers. I never knew those guys had it so hard.


#22: Spiritual Warfare (NES)

 
Spiritual Warfare was one of the few unlicensed NES games by the company of Wisdom Tree. Spiritual Warfare, admittedly a religious copy of the Legend of Zelda, was the one game I would rent more than all others. Each time I rented it, I would try to get closer and closer to the finish, until I bought the game, when I could finally complete the entire thing. Despite how it may look and sound, the world of Spiritual Warfare is absolutely loaded with hidden secrets, handy items, and great areas to explore. I considered it one of the best game of my collection, as well as the best Wisdom Tree game ever.


#21: Contra (NES)

 
I never really thought that Contra was as hard as a lot of people said it was. I had completely beaten it within a week of my purchasing it. Nevertheless, it's since been a favorite game of mine, with it's non-stop action and... a whole lotta enemies.
