Does Kingdom Hearts count at all? That rates pretty high on my list. Any game where you can fight with Jack Skellington and Jack Sparrow would have to kick ass.

Ah, you must play it, haha. I have a working emulator and rom for it (own the game as well). It's good stuff.

So true about Earthbound being a great game most of us will never play. I hope Mother 3 makes its way over here to the US.

Well, here's my list from the FFVII:AC thread, and I stand by my placement for FFVII, if anything, I rated it too high.

For anyone here that hasn't played any of the Final Fantasy series, you are doing yourselves a disservice. FF has run the gammut of systems, having titles on NES, SNES, Game Boy, GB Advance, DS, Game Cube, PS1, PS2 and the PC. Must plays out there (in this order):

FF VI (III in the US) on SNES
FF IV (II in the US) on SNES
FF VIII on PS1
FF Tactics on PS1
FF X on PS2
FF I on GBA (major improvements over the original and PS1 editions)
FF VII on PS1
FF Mystic Quest on SNES
FF Adventure on GB (remade as Sword of Mana on GBA)
FF II on GBA
FF X-2 on PS2
FF Crystal Chronicals on Game Cube
FF IX on PS1
FF V on PS1
FF Legend Trilogy on GB

And for those that are wondering, FF III was never released in the US.

Chrono Trigger was a great game, and let's not forget Secret of Mana. Earthbound was good, but Earthbound Zero was much better (too bad it was only in ROM form)

In a recent report by the FDA, Final Fantasy has been scientifically proven to be as addictive, if not more addictive, than herion. The Surgeon General warns parents that they must begin discussions at an early age about how to resist the temtations of this game, and the inevatible peer pressure to play the game, lest they suffer terminal incompatibility with the opposite sex, countless nights of sleeplessness, long periods witout the will or desire to eat, dehydration, loss of all social networking capabilities, and in extreme cases very eccentric behavior, such as the desire some players have expressed to dress up like a woman and sing karaokee after playing FFX2. The surgeon also warns us in these dark times that this scourge must be stopped and that we cannot allow Final Fantasy into our minds and corrupt our youth. If everyone were to become a dork, who will be left to propagate the race?

YES! SoM is probably my favorite game of all time. Me and two friends have spent countless hours in my basement playing that game since we were 12 or 13.

And don't forget Seiken Densetsu 3 (basically Secret of Mana 2 never released in the US. You can get a SNES emulator to play it).

SoM was great, for sure. I've still yet to play Earthbound Zero...maybe I'll get the time someday. Still in hope for a release of Mother 3 here in the US.

I've read arguments for and against VII and completely understand the reasoning behind both camps' arguments. I can't exactly put my finger on why I loved it so much, though. The game just had "it," for lack of a better term.
