Id really argue to lump Ys I and II as a single experience.

Yeah, I don't wanna do Ys I without II. I think I like Ack's list, although I'm still iffy on Punch-Out.

Hey chief, if you want to lump Ys I and Ys II together, go for it. It sounds good to me.

I've beaten the NES Punch-Out as part of my summer games list before. I don't think it's nearly as bad as people say it is.

I would combine Ys I & II and add Rocket Knight to the list.

I can't see him going along with Pod Racer or Silhouette Mirage.

You might be able to make a case for them, but the former isn't known for being a defining racing game by any measure, and the latter is very obscure.

I think the other 9 are great options though, so you only really need to find one more.

Sweet! In that case, I've been meaning to play Mega Man 2 for a while, and I don't see him having any issue with that. That'll probably be my number ten.
