1. Dragon Warrior II NES - It was the first RPG I ever beat (DW1 was the first played) and it was just so epic. Especially the long hallway walk to Hargon's Castle. ;P Epic for the time!

 

2. Final Fantasy 3 - SNES: My favorite RPG of all time. The height of the series in my opinion, only reason it isn't 1 is because DW2 holds a special place as the first game I ever beat.

 

3. Castlevania 2 - Simon's Quest - Finding Drac's body parts? Eww but fun.

 

4. Final Fantasy 2 - SNES: I know it's really IV now but at the time it was the grandest game I had ever seen.

 

5. Megaman 3 - NES: Still remember some of the enemies, Magnet Man, Gemini Man, Snake Man...

1. Pirates! - 'nuff said.

2. Movie Monster Game - I just loved playing the monster

3. Laser Squad - Excellent turn based shooter with destructible environment, overwatch, and so forth.

4. Pool of Radiance - And all the sequels, as well as rest of the AD&D games.

5. Fellowship of the Rings - I did not as much play that game, as I was inspired by that game to take a look into tabletop RPGs. For that it deserves the mention.

[Ravana]

1) Tyrian 2000 (1995) - The childhood game that left the biggest impact on my life and gave me an affinity for sci-fi and top-down shooters.

2) SimCity 2000 (1994) - Where I discovered I loved symmetry, big buildings, and playing god.

3) Pokemon Yellow (1998) - For a computer gamer, I logged over 100 hours on this thing as a kid, bringing it with me on every road trip we went on. And now I'm here eagerly awaiting X and Y!

4) Red Alert (1997) - I sucked hardcore at the original C&C, so Red Alert was the game that truly brought me into the RTS genre.

5) Desert Strike (1992) - This game made me fall in love with helicopters and machine guns. I had no frickin clue what I was doing, but I loved flying around in that badass Apache.

That was a good game. I even remember Dark Forces, great music, nothing got me in the mood for watching some SW than playing that!

I'm going to add games from my teen years too... Like up to 15 years old since the #1 I'm about to list is still my favorite game and came out when I was 14, and #2 came out when I was 15. Considering I'm 30 years old I think I can extend the time period a little more since most of my childhood games would encompass NES and Super NES otherwise. Well they still kinda do, but that's besides the point!

 

#1.) Daggerfall

#2.) Final Fantasy 7

#3.) Legend of Zelda: A Link to The Past

#4.) Final Fantasy 6

#5.) A tie between Actraiser and Chrono Trigger

 

Honorable Mention (forget when it came out?): Earthbound for SNES

I share my preference for most of those games, except daggerfall since i get dizzy playing it. ff 7 and ff 6 are my ff favorites no matter what people say about ff x and ff xiii. i still play zelda whenever i have time and chrono trgger was epic. maybe its because i grow up playing those games the main reason i love them so much.
