MY TOP 15 FAVORITE VIDEO GAMES
What This Site Is
This website is a museum dedicated to my personal top fifteen favorite video games of all-time. This is my own personal list. In other
words, this caters to my own peculiar tastes and idiosyncrasies.
Some of these games are well-known, some are more obscure. Some are considered landmark and industry changing, others are not. I am not pitching this as everyone's top fifteen.
These are the games that I would most want to have at my side were I to become stranded on a desert island. (I would also, presumably, want to have
their corresponding systems, and electricity with which to activate them. Hey, this is a great island!)
How I Selected The Games
In approaching this project, I reflected back on my years of gaming, and tried to
recall those games that had the most impact upon me at each stage of my life.
There was a time of my life when all I had to play was my trusty Sega Game Gear. So, naturally,
a game appears from that system, even though there were arguably contemporary systems of its day with better libraries.
Another example: I am a huge Star Trek fan.
So, even though that franchise has had a dubious history when it comes to gaming, one of its
better entries finds a home in this compilation.
For every game that I discuss here, there are five others in either the same franchise, or in a similar genre,
that are also worthy of a mention.
But, in the end, the hard choices had to be made. So without further ado, let's dive into my top fifteen.
