I went too far and picked about 90-odd games in no order because I forgot loads of games and just copied from everyone else so Iām sorry. Also my writing just dribbles out at the end because I rushed it all.
01-10
01 Street Fighter Alpha 3
Alpha 3 is the funnest and therefore best Street Fighter, especially 2-player Dramatic Battle against top difficulty CPU. Iām sad there hasnāt been a definitive version as the Alpha Collection, Dreamcast version and PSP(?) version all have advantages over each other. There probably never will be a complete edition 
02 GIRP
This is Foddyās best?? Itās difficult but manageable, with an organically rising difficulty throughout and gives a real sense of achievement or utter disappointment at the end that few other games succinctly achieve.
03 NIGHTs: Into Dreams
Still excellent. I still never got the weird mutant angel-babies with āA-Lifeā which took up nearly all of the Saturnās internal memory FFS.
04 Outrun 2
Itās exactly what people in the past thought a future version of the game would be. Perfecto.
05 Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown
Itās the ultimate virtual fight. Iām a Wolf boy myself. LM was a beast with Shun. Come back.
06 Binding of Isaac
I honestly hate how the themes are explored in this game, which is very juvenile and pretty distasteful in some remarks. But the gameplay loop is excellent and moreish.
07 Cave Story
What everyone else said.
08 Undertale
And this. Iām too scared to do a genocide run.
09 Streets of Rage 2
I know the music in SoR 1 + 2 are ripped off from late 80s/early 90s bangers but they translate so bloody well for the setting. A great co-op game.
10 Marvel vs Capcom
The limited roster compared to other games in the series makes this better and more focussed? Like the love put into the music for each character.
11-20
11 Dark Savior
Iām sad this game has not been revisited in any way; thereās an amazing write-up by Mama Robotnik on resetera somewhere, which made it even more of a gem for me. Its multiple scenarios make this an incredible affair.
12 Crazy Taxi
I think I played one run for nearly 2 hours once. Prime Sega fucking nailed the one-more-go factor. Bring it back! Again!
13 The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Itās very unfinished but it had the most comforting vibes in a Zelda.
14 Yakuza 6: The Book of Life
I feel like this is the best one. And I really like the Baseball game, despite not knowing anything about the sport. Iām sad that the pool from Yakuza 0 never made it.
15 Bloodborne
In addition to what everybody else has said: the challice dungeons are brilliant. A bit limited, but really enjoyable to go through constantly fresh dungeons with an album playing in the background. Also the bonesaw you get at the beginning is the best weapon, but a lot of others have their own merits.
16 Demonās Souls
I love its arcade style level setup the most. It still feels like a game I never understood all the mechanics for, even if I played it loads. Unbalanced games are fun.
17 Amplitude (PS2)
Itās probably the best iteration of the games Harmonix have done, since Frequency still feels a little iffy. The most recent version had some absolute shit stinking up the bonus tracks thanks to some musically illiterate kickstarter backers, which really affected its overall quality (even if the main setlist is very good overall).
18 Wario Ware: Inc
The first time I played this I went a bit wild? Like I had a 2 minute shower afterwards and do other tasks around the house in limited scope. It really reduced games down to core elements and ran with it.
19 Skate 2
Itās the best one.
20 Resident Evil 4
When I went to buy the Game Cube version, I crashed my car after skidding on a part of a roundabout with oil slick on the road, so that fucking sucked. Or maybe I was just really excited to play the game with the Wiimote? The best single player Resi. Super fun.
21-30
21 Canis Canem Edit/Bully
I was sad this never got a sequel; the more focused approach on a small town really allowed more to shine. The minigames were a bit shit but the close-knit approach gave it a lot more character.
22 Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Itās also the best one? Even if Soma is pretty annoying.
23 Rock Band
Probably the series in all, but I honestly believe the first game had the most balanced playlist. A shame it fizzled out and didnāt include some artists that wouldāve shone brightly, but great multiplayer magic.
24 Everybodyās Golf: World Tour
Tight and pure and whatever. Was pretty annoyed with the PS4 offering.
25 Bayonetta
One of my favourite soundtracks ever. Just a really magical experience.
26 Glittermitten Grove
It is a kind of ālol randomā game but everything is given love. And when itās got love it shines, regardless of how itās presented. āMy eleventh yearā is a banger and actually quite difficult to find, making it more special.
27 Chrono Trigger
Iāve only ever played this on an emulator with frame skip, which I think makes it far better for skipping some tedium. Is it made better with the Woolsey translation? Probably. He did good work.
28 Sonic Mania
It is the ultimate Sonic mashup. Everythingās so lovingly done.
29 Jet Set Radio
They got the vibe well. Wildly I think it could have been tighter or more complicated with its controls. Iām sad there arenāt more games with rollerskates tbh.
30 Toy Commander
It definitely shows its age but I loved Toy Commander. A puzzle based game with miniature vehicles doing stuff around the house. A modern version would be ace.
31-40
31 Tony Hawkās Underground 2 or THUG 2 whatever
THPS was one of the most important games ever, I absolutely believe that. I feel like it absolutely opened up the possibilities of engagement with sport, and even alternative cultures, outside the most popular stuff to people who never previously considered it. Yeah, thereās always posers and pretenders who can falsely inflate popularity but even the concept of just considering different things has massively helped redefine (western) cultures in general. Anyway, I spent the most time with THUG 2 so thatās why I went with that one.
32 Olli Olli 2
Continuing skateboards, I was once the best player in the world at this (yes! I was the first to hit 100 million total points), Iāve no idea how things are now since I stopped playing once Ray died. Best played on Vita due to its lack of input lag.
33 Soul Calibur (Dreamcast)
From the arcade version, which was on par with Tekken 3 graphics and basic game modes, to a fully fledged affair on the Dreamcast, with bonus characters, mission mode, fan art unlocks, lovely graphics etc. it was a perfect game for the time. An incredible port.
34 Journey
Itās just a really wonderful trip. Also play Abzu which is the same concept but underwater.
35 Animal Crossing (Gamecube)
For whatever reason I bought my GC with me to Spain on holiday in 2005. It made me realise how I use videogames to entertain myself a lot since Ulcerative Colitis has taken away so many other opportunities and my eventual normal was actually not normal. The holiday was okay but it reminded me of how stressful I get in unfamiliar places looking for public toilets. The holiday was okay but I split up with my then girlfriend as soon as I got home because I realise I just couldnāt manage myself or grow as I wanted to. Animal Crossing was a weird staple of that time, giving me a ānormalā life where I couldnāt actually have one. I still find the character design the most charming of all versions.
36 Super Metroid
I still canāt believe how good the music is?? I always think how platform games work better with chibi-style characters and SM just about works in spite of that rule. Always felt odd how the camera didnāt move properly when you got hit.
37 Mashed
Mashed felt like it had a lot missing, like a decent campaign or gameplay variability. Still, one of my fave competitive couch games ever.
39 Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition
Resident Evil 5 was racist. In many aspects. I genuinely think it was mostly tone deafness rather than Ubisoft-style intention, but it really soured things. Mercenaries Reunited is one of the greatest couch co-op games though. Pity youāve got to throw the main campaign to unlock it.
40 Gitaroo Man
Mostly the Legendary song alone tbh.
41-50
41 Klonoa 2
Some of the music in this game made me cry and thatās why itās here.
42 Quake
Still so fucking good. It seems stripped down by todayās standards but thatās why it works. Minimal fluff in a way. Really fucking good.
43 Devil May Cry 3
I really like the rival twin thing. Itās relatable.
44 Umjammer Lammy
Iām sticking this in over Parappa because the soundtrack resonated with me more. Every level (except the daycare one) has a banger.
45 Steep Slope Sliders
All my memories of this are of eerie isolation with a wild soundtrack. And the wild hidden characters. Genuinely feels like it takes me to another world, which is a wild achievement.
46 Hotline Miami
Itās crass and immature but itās a good ride. Shame about the long-distance levels which didnāt really work. Banging soundtrack.
47 Kid Chameleon
This is most metal game Iāve ever played. Itās not overegged, like Brutal Legend, it hits you when you least expect. Like the hell levels, the bosses, the big fuck-off wall off death chase levels and the gutteral āDieā when you fall to your doom. It balances its brutality and invention and time for a little reflection really well.
48 Blasphemous
As far as metroidvanias go, Blasphemous is grand. Itās use and handling of Catholic themes/imagery is flipping wild and exactly what I like to see in my games sometimes: explicit interpretations of orthodox Christianity in a way which is itself blasphemous. One gripe is that I think the executions are needlessly brutal as they donāt even feel cathartic, or add much to the tale. But golden otherwise.
49 Tokyo Jungle
The real animal crossing? This feels really unfinished but still engaging and Iām sad Sony never went further. Thereās definitely a franchise in there.
50 Sekiro
Itās a wild ride that grows with your own skills. I must admit Iāve never been the biggest fan of feudal Japan since a lot of designs can be very busy, but then Iām mostly used to European castles which arenāt the easiest thing to digest at the best of times.
51-60
51 Peggle
Itās a good, pure puzzle game, though Iām sick of Ode to Joy now.
52 Shovel Knight
Iām forever weary of retro-pixel whatever games doing their best to evoke some false memories, but SK is so well-executed. And stonkingly huge with its 4 games.
53 Divekick
Dive v Kick face-off replaced the coin toss in my last place. Itās a game for everyone.
54 The Sims
The original game had the right amount of action for me. Was great in a family sharing a computer, until my guy visitors just kept going into the garden and dying, annoying everyone else.
55 Diddy Kong Racing
Itās the best kart racer. The single-player was exactly what a campaign should consist of. I never did unlock TT though.
56 Wonder Boy in Monster Land
This has long been my comfort game. Itās just friendly! Also it has that racist section with tribesmen throwing spears at you, which is completely awful, but itās nice otherwise.
57 Super Bomberman 5
I never got around to playing Saturn Bomberman, so this felt like the ābest ofā SNES game which worked really well. V fun.
58 Motocross Madness 2
After Flight Simulatorās successful return, Iām waiting any day for a 60-player Motocross game which takes place over multiple real world areas. Plain textures and everything.
59 Shenmue II
I got fired from my first real job in 3 days because the manager was a wanker. Anyway, this had just come out so I spent basically all my wages on this for the Dreamcast. Iām aware it didnāt have the level of detail that the first game had but it felt crisper and sharper and had duck racing. Weirdly the 3rd game is stuck incredibly far in the past. I mostly enjoyed the Yellow Head Building, which is really where the whole series should have ended in retrospect.
60 Celeste
A blend of so many aspects challenging and accommodating aspects wrapped up in one go. I do wish the added chapter wasnāt so flipping long though.
61-the rest
61 God Hand
I really wish the moves were a little more balanced. And there was less misogynistic behaviour. But outside of that, what everyone else said.
62 Barkley Shut up and Jam Gaiden
Itās my favourite JRPG and Iām sad the sequel never panned out.
63 Pilotwings 64
Good vibes and music.
64 Hitman 2016
This is what I imagined PC games would end up like when I was playing them in the 90s? Outside of the cutscenes. Everything is done so well and has tons of replayability. Iām not remotely good enough for top tier difficulty or even suit only runs but thereās still loads of fun.
