Armed with a trusty sword and shield, Link begins a great and treacherous journey.The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the past, The best game from the 16bit era.

- DirectorTakashi TezukaWhile Mario and Luigi are vacationing in Dinosaur Land, Bowser kidnaps the Princess. Mario and his new dino friend Yoshi go on a mission to save her.A superb Mario-game which took everything great from earlier Mario games and brushed up it's graphics and added some great worlds and characters like Yoshi. Has certainly aged gracefully. The best platform game.
- I still havent played a game as brutal as this. Blood, gore, dragons and creepy monsters to slay.
- DirectorYoshinori KitaseYasushi MatsumuraMasato YagiA former soldier from an evil company joins a mercenary clan to fight the company he once served.Final Fantasy VII, I didn't play this game until just a few years ago. And I wondered why I never understood it's greatness then. Incredible story that once you've picked up, you never want to quit playing. And the Antagonist Sephiroth was the first game character that you really despised. Maybe the best RPG-game ever.
- DirectorShigeru MiyamotoA plumber named Mario and his brother Luigi travel through the Mushroom Kingdom to save the princess from the evil Bowser.So simple, so entertaining, an incredible classic that changed gaming as we know it.

- DirectorJordan MechnerStarsDavid SvenssonDunya DjordjevicKarl-Heinz Teuber1914: Innocent fugitive Robert Cath boards the Orient Express three days before the outbreak of WW1 and must stay alive until "the end of the line".A forgotten gem, The Last Express was a game which felt like it was in real-time. A murdercase on the orient express that would have made Agatha Christie proud. Re-released on iphones and ipod, so go out and get it now!
- The "last of a great line of hero-kings" is charged with the task of saving the world by defeating the Warlock Lord, who is attempting to summon up the demon Behemoth out of Hell.A Point-n-click game in a dark castle where you need to kill the Warlock Lord before he summons the Behemoth himself. Great and quite hard puzzle game with a dark undertone and superb music.
- Can't find the right game here either, Its supposed to be Stunt Car Racer, The worlds first "3D"(?) racer for amiga. The graphics were lousy but the feeling when you jumped a big jump was amazing, It was the first time when the 3D polygon graphics amazed me.

Together, they journey to gather 8 Mana seeds to save the Mana tree and stop Thanatos and his empire from taking over the world.The Secret of Mana for SNES, A RPG almost as good as "A link to the past", and you could name your characters and even play two players at the same time.
- DirectorJon HareThe first football game that was enjoyable to play. With incredibly much rosters for some odd teams. It was a bit hard to control the ball, but the game was fast and challenging.
- DirectorGenyo TakedaLittle Mac, a 17-year-old fighter from the Bronx, ranked number three in the minor circuit, works his way up through the rankings so that he can challenge Mike Tyson, Kid Dynamite, in a dream fight.The undefeated champion of boxing games. And it hasn't been challenged since the games sequal. Many memorable characters in the game like King Hippo, Soda Popinski, Mike Tyson, Bald Bull and so on. One of the best NES games.
- Tecmo World Cup '90 is a football (soccer) arcade game released in 1989 by Tecmo.Perhaps the most obscure game on the list. A roleplaying football game for NES. You lead your guys success by chosing whether to tackle, dribble or shoot. I have never seen anything like it before or since then.
- An Amiga classic, Lotus ETC was one of the best racing games, great graphics and sounds. Lotus 2 and 3 where also good games.
- DirectorShigeru MiyamotoTakashi TezukaKing Koopa has kidnapped Princess Toadstool, taken over all seven kingdoms in the Mushroom World, and put his seven kids in charge of all of them. It's the Mario Brothers to the rescue.A game that cemented Mario as the greatest (and most known) game character ever. Funnier than SMB 2. And the first Mario game where you could fly.
- StarsRob WiethoffJosh BlaylockSophia MarzocchiA former outlaw is forced by the federal government to hunt down the members of his old gang.A great game and the ending was amazing. I have never played a game where the protagonist dies before. The only thing missing in this game is a soundtrack from Ennio Morricone.

But this game was amazing, maybe it lost a bit of the raw humour of the first two games but still a classic.
- DirectorJohn CarmackTomohiko SatoStarsKevin CloudDavid KoserubaChristopher MurveyIn the future, an unnamed marine fights for survival on a space station on Mars where the Union Aerospace Corporation accidentally opened up a physical portal to Hell.A game that changed the gaming world, the point-n-click and platform games were thrown out the window, a new first person shooter era had begun when Doom, Wolfenstein and Quake took over the world. Raw, scary and hellish. A milestone in gaming.
