[Cuber001]

1. Shenmue (DC)

2. Jet Set Radio (DC)

3. Resident Evil 2 (ps1)

4. Sonic Adventure (DC)

5. NiGHTS: Into Dreams (SS)

And there is HEAPS more i could not fit in, But these are the ones which hold fond memories!

EDIT: Screw it, you HAVE to have Samba De Amigo/ver 2000 (DC) in there. Easily the best Rhythm/Action game EVER. Still play it to this day. And if you have two pairs of Maracas, It is one of the best games of all time! Nuff said.

[erhgiez]

Wow this is hard

1) Xenogears (PSX)
2) Thief 1 + 2 (both pretty much same game cant choose one from the other) (PC)
3) Doom (PC)
4) Ultima VIII Pagan (PC)
5) Guardian Heroes (SAT)

Its really hard ive tried to not repeat any genres or else most of them would just be RPGs

[Ish]

This is hard. I've been thinking about this all day but I keep changing my mind. I think I'm going to go for (in no particular order):

1. Elite (BBC)
2. Yoshi's Island (SNES)
3. Ultima VII (PC)
4. R-Type (arcade)
5. Civilisation (PC)

I also want to include Metal Slug, Robotron, Monkey Island, Speedball 2, Sensible Soccer, the list just goes on and on. There all "as good" as the five I've picked. Curse you Strider for limiting me to five.

[Jet Set UNITED]

There are an absolute mass of games I want to say Puzzle Fighter 2X, Soul Calibur, Super Tennis, Mario Golf GBC. All of them could go in my top 5 but for the sheer amount of time I've spent playing them it has to be these:

1. Sonic 2 (MD)
2. FF7 (PS1)
3. Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (GBC)
4. Vib Ribbon (PS1)
5. Rocket: Robot on Wheels (N64)

[Strider]

I just want to say a bigs thanks so far for all the great responses I've received. I can appreciate that limiting you to only five choices, but this thing is going to be a real bitch to sort out. Since yesterday I've recorded over 170 votes on various forums and via email. That's a hell of a lot of games to go through already, doubling that figure would probably make me go insane.

Anyway, keep those votes coming guys, it's going great.

[chipsgravy]

Well if its not too late heres my vote.

1. Street Fighter II Snes
2. Sega Rally Sat
3. Burning Rangers Sat
4. Super Mario World Snes
5. Space Channel 5 DC

How tricky is it limiting to just 5?
