| Super Mario RPG, it was the reason I attempted to play video games while I was younger. As my gaming history doesn't consist of much other than Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, occasional Nintendo racing franchises and Madden. Among with some randoms.
Mario RPG takes the cake because it reeks of the most nostalgia for me. It was a clever, unique take on the Mario universe that, IMO, no Mario game has excelled (some have matched it). It just was the base of Mario's personality for years to come.
Second has to be the Second Gen Pokemon series, because around this time I understood wtf was going on (I was about 9 when the originals came out, 12 during G2). Solid gameplay, still in love with it to this day.
Third has to be OoT. SMRPG is the only game I have beaten more times than this. Me and Ollie used to spend summers beating this game over and over again.
Honorable Mentions: PM series, Smash Bros series |
