GPX | 1,439 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Think of this thread as your gaming timeline. Where for each decade, you get to vote for your top 3 to 5 games. The criteria being you have to personally played it in physical form (and enjoyed it immensely). I think it’d be cool to see how our tastes in gaming change over time up till the present day. I’ll start: 80s (C64, Master System): Barbarian, Ghouls’n Ghosts, Sonic, Great Gianna Sisters. 90s (Snes, N64, PS1): Streetfighter 2, Legend of Mystical Ninja, Super Mario World, Mario 64, Einhander. 2000s (GameCube, Wii, X360): Mario Galaxy, Zelda Windwaker, Wii Sports, Geometry Wars 2, Defense Grid. 2010: N/A (I haven’t played any modern games since X360).

Webhead123 | 831 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Quick, "off the top of my head" list, keeping it limited to 5 or less per decade (which means cutting out A LOT of great games, obviously). I approached this as "games I would have considered my favorites at the time of playing them". 80's: Donkey Kong, Contra, Mega Man 2, Dragon Warrior, Shadowgate90's: Super Mario World, Link to the Past, DOOM, Super Metroid, Thief: The Dark Project00's: Diablo 2, System Shock 2, Eternal Darkness, Beyond Good & Evil, Batman: Arkham Asylum10's: Breath of the Wild, XCOM, Mario Kart 8, Civilization 6, DOOM (2016) Edited March 21, 2022 by Webhead123 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/10242-favorite-games-by-the-decades/#findComment-273438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
