rainmaker vs Vryce

Rainmaker
1. Final Fantasy II - SNES
2. Super Smash Bros. - Nintendo 64
3. Tetris - Gameboy
4. Phantasy Star II - Genesis
5. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - Dreamcast
6. Mega Man 2 - NES
7. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker - GameCube
8. RC Pro Am - NES
9. Actraiser - SNES
10. Radiant Silvergun - Sega Saturn

Vryce
1. Final Fantasy VII - Playstation
2. Chu Chu Rocket - Dreamcast
3. Secret of Mana - SNES
4. Metroid - NES
5. Paper Mario - Nintendo 64
6. Pitfall - Atari 2600
7. Jade Empire - XBox
8. SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs - PS2
9. Mario Cart Double Dash - GameCube
10. Fable - XBox

Of the 20 games on the two lists, I love Mega Man 2, Wind Waker, RC Pro Am, Actraiser, and Metroid. I really like Tetris and Pitfall. I kind of like Super Smash Bros., Secret of Mana, SOCOM and Double Dash. That was my reasoning.

I've tried a handful of Final Fantasy games and never found them to be my cup of tea, so this didn't factor in at all.

I've never played Chu Chu Rocket, whereas I've killed way too many hours on Tetris.

RC Pro Am was a classic that I played the hell out of as a kid. Actraiser is a game I hadn't thought about in years, but played an obscene amount of time in early high school.

Agreed, those were your two strongest games in my eyes.
