Oooooh, Yoshi's Island is a good pull. I loved that game. I wish ANY of the Yoshi games since have been as good.

Ah well... he's still my go-to character in Mario Kart, so I get a decent Yoshi fix. ;)

Yoshi's Island is technically a Mario game (Super Mario World 2). But I'm just splitting hairs, I agree, it's the best Yoshi game. I never played Yoshi's Story on N64 but heard it was pretty good?

NES: Earthbound (played a few years ago, love it, but too young too have favorites on the rest of the older ones :( )
N64: Mario 64 (all-time favorite,)
GameCube: Paper Mario Thousand Year Door
Wii: Brawl
Wii U: Smash 4
GBC: Pokemon Yellow
GBA: Pokemon Ruby
DS: Pokemon Pearl
3DS: Fire Emblem Fates

X360: Halo
XB1: no idea, lots of ok games but none stand out. Fallout 4? Love Dark souls 3 but I've barely played it on XB1

Impossible to pick a favorite PC one.

Earthbound was released on the SNES.

Man. this will be hard to remember. Forgive me if I get some of the platforms wrong.

Sega - Shining Force
N64 - Golden Eye
PS1 - Twisted Metal. XCOM or any of the various NCAA football and NHL titles.
Dreamcast - NFL 2K or Power Stone.
PS2 - NCAA/NHL titles.
PS3 - NHL titles
PS4 - Persona 5
PC - Too many to list, think Tactical RPG/Strategy games.

Anyone else have one of these? Probably the first game I ever played other than some letter/number/shapes "games" on here. I have a copy on my PC somewhere.
NES: Mario/Duckhunt - Never owned an NES but spent a lot of hours playing at relatives/friends.
Gameboy: I kind of divide it into two parts for how long the regular Gameboy was around.
Early: Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle
Late: Pokemon Blue
SNES: Mario World - Felt like such an accomplishment to beat every level. TMNT IV and DKC2 not far behind.
I can't not mention all the hours put into Jurassic Park and its dumb no save option. I remember spending a whole Saturday determined to beat the game and knocked the power cord out of my SNES probably 3/4 through. Never played again. Maybe this belongs on a frustrating games list.
PSX: Croc: Legend of the Gobos, honorable mention to Ape Escape.
N64: Jet Force Gemini/Goldeneye
Gameboy Color: Pokemon Silver/Harvest Moon
Dreamcast: Only system other than NES on this list that I didn't own but played a ton because all my friends had one. Virtua Athlete
Gamecube: Smash Bros./Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Xbox: Halo - The hours spent playing 16 player multiplayer alone made this game amazing. I probably knew at least 30 people who regularly rotated within our group for Halo parties that occurred a few times a month for about two years. Just a crazy time.
Gameboy Advance: Golden Sun/Fire Emblem
Wii: Mario Kart
PS3: Soul Calibur IV/NHL (any year really)
PS4: Uncharted 4 or Destiny
3DS: Probably Pokemon Moon.
PC: Such a long time period.
Anyone remember playing Word Munchers back in the mid 90s? For a game that didn't have a lot to it, the top 10 scoreboard was competitive in elementary school since it was over the entire network.
Age of Empires II, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and WoW.

Anyone remember San Francisco RUSH? Just remembered this one. Definitely in my top 5 of N64 games.

San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing - Wikipedia

And then RUSH 2049 on the Dreamcast. Oh I killed so many hours with these games.

And the Hydro Thunder series.... Crusin USA. Old school racing games were so great!

Yes, I loved those RUSH games.

Didn't love Hydro Thunder or any of the Crusin' games though.
