    Excellent thread, memory lane here I come!

    This top ten has to be halved between my childhood and adulthood.

    1.Flimbo's Quest, Dated but still Gold!! (the only reason to buy a C64, then and now)

    2. Double Dragon (arcade in Meath St, Those 10p's seemed to last forever!)

    3. Street Fighter 2 (Mega Drive & arcade sort of, before I got it from Santa, me & bro went to Nassau St game shop, can't remember name, in December 1993 every day after school to play it for free)

    4. Golden Axe (Megadrive,what can I say weird; XENAesque Porn Star, He-man and Gimli all in the one game)

    5. Echo the dolphin (Megadrive, had a sandbox-type feel to it that was only repeated ten years later).

    .....still working on my adulthood favourites.

    What is the game that had the same feel 10 years later? Was there another Ecco game released after the megadrive ones?

    There was Ecco 2 tides of time on the megadrive and Ecco Jr. There was also an Ecco game on the Dreamcast which made it to the PS2 as well.

    Bah, this list could change by the hour, and different entries are there for different reasons...

    Hahah I felt the exact same... I could pick 20 games if I had to... I enjoyed a lot of games that I played for different reasons.
    Funny that I think of it but thinking of all these games brings back a lot of memories.

    I can only think of 7 really top games for me. Im not a big gamer.

    Red Dead Redemption (PS3) – Just epic, everything about it just oozes cool.
    MGS 1 (PS1) – One of the greatest, still holds up IMO. Have it on the PS3 and play it every now and then.
    Resident Evil 4 (PS2) – Awesome game, became totally addicted
    Tomb Raider 2 (PS1) – The best in the series IMO, i keep buying Tomb Raider games to see if they’re as good as TR2, but they’re not.:(
    GTA San Andreas (PS2) – Another addiction, massive game with so much to do its ridiculous. And heaps of fun. Something Rockstar forgot about when making GTAIV:rolleyes:
    MOH Frontline (PS2) – Great fun, so glad it came to the new MOH. Im playing it more than the new game
    Uncharted 2 (PS3) – The scenery, gameplay, story, acting, score, everything, it’s just perfect

    Quoting my own post because I seem to have no edit button. I can't believe I forgot a game.

    Psychonauts is no longer in my top 10 because I've only played some of it so far. So, for now, it's just close to the top 10, as is LocoRoco, Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (over 297 hours played so far) and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
