1- Siren - PS2
2- Shadowgate Classic - GBC
3- Resident Evil 2 - PS1
4- Earthbound - SNES
5- Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening - 3DS VC
6- Harvest Moon - 3DS VC
7- Final Fantasy VI - GBA
8- CV: Symphony of the Night - PSP (Drac X collection)
9- Golden Axe - Gen (no continue run)
10- Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - PS1

Keeping Siren on my list despite how dsh feels on classic vs. cult classic. That line is a blurred one in my eyes. And maybe the other 9 classics on my list will absolve me of my sin. :lol:

Anyway, jokes aside, I suppose I will create a new list to get me out of my comfort zone:

Donkey Kong Country
Pilotwings
StarFox
ActRaiser
Axelay
NBA Jam
Prince of Persia
Sunset Riders
Yoshi's Island
Chrono Trigger

How does this work, Ds?
I can't stand Axelay and think that it is barely even a cult-classic and ActRaiser is sort of a middling game, but otherwise this list meets with my approval. If you haven't played CT it should be your first choice.
Ok, ok, fine....

1. Donkey Kong Country
2. Pilotwings
3. StarFox
4. John Madden Football
5. Super Mario Bros 3 (Super Mario All-Stars)
6. NBA Jam
7. Prince of Persia
8. Sunset Riders
9. Yoshi's Island
10. Chrono Trigger

dsh: Both Axelay and ActRaiser garnished high acclaim in their day and have earned the right to be called "classic", regardless of what your opinion on their quality is.

No, no, Ds has every right to curse me to play a Madden game.

I just want him to know what he is making me do.

Actually both games were largely in the 7-8/10 score range in their day. Ack has replaced them with games that were in the 9-10/10 range.

And now, a preview of things to come:

2013 SUMMER GAME CHALLENGE: THE SUMMER OF I HATE YOU SO MUCH, DS!

This summer, I'm going to attempt to play through 10 games, while cursing Ds the entire time. Every poor moment, every botched jump, every death, and every fumbled pass, I will blame on Ds. And while experiencing the highs, I will still blame Ds. So folks, get ready, strap yourselves in, and prepare for the ride of your life, as I embark on my 2013 Summer Game Challenge!

Fuck you, Ds! Making me play through mother fucking Prince of Persia! Fuck!

SMB3 is a fine game, no doubt, perhaps the best on the NES, but that doesn't mean that he had to give up Axelay or ActRaiser. 7-8 is still high praise. 5-6 and we'd be having this discussion.

The real fun will be when I reveal my "real" list next week which will be made up entirely of brown and grey FPSs from the past two years.
