The games I listed aren't my ten favorites. I'm talking about if you where trapped on an island or something.

I picked some games on my list for length. :)

[j_factor]

I picked games not on other systems, because you placed no limit on non-Genesis games. So I can get Flashback on 3DO, and so on.

[MegaDrive20XX]

CastleVania Bloodlines
Samurai Shodown
Contra Hard Corps
Ghouls N Ghosts
Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition
Mega Man in Wily Wars

[Mr Smith]

The games I listed aren't my ten favorites. I'm talking about if you where trapped on an island or something.

I picked some games on my list for length. :)

If I were trapped on an island I would probably spend most of my time wondering where the electricity was coming from...

The games I'd take would be:

1. Sonic 2 - I love this game and could spend hours on it.
2. Ecco the Dolphin - Although I'd probably end up fretting about the evil creatures lurking around my island.
3. Shadow of the Beast - I might actually complete it.
4. FIFA '96 - I could spend hours trying to win all the leagues (and Nottingham Forest were still a good team back then. Trapped on my island I could try and delude myself they still are).
5. One of the Phantasy Star series - I don't own any of them currently, but a good RPG would help pass the time.
6. Sonic 1 - Incase I got bored of Sonic 2.
7. Kid Chameleon - Although the amount of time needed to finish this one would probably result in me starving to death first.
8. Comix Zone - Because it's awsome.
9. Streets of Rage 3 - My favourite of the series.
10. Batman Returns - So I could hurl it as far into the ocean as I possibly could.

[RiseFromYourGrave]

2. Sonic & Knuckles

9. Toejam & Earl
10. Contra: Hard Corps

Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure that's what it would be. I tried to diversify my portfolio if I could only keep 10, think I did an ok job. I know I'm leaving a few favorites off (Landstalker, Gunstar), so that list could probably change, but numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, and 9 are mainstays.

[Genesis Knight]

I don't have time to enjoy the others, only look at them on a shelf

Why don't you give all 'the others' to me? :p

[108 Stars]

Why don't you give all 'the others' to me?

Because your collection is bigger than mine, Genesis Knight, so nik wants to give 'the others' to ME!:love:

[ary incorparated]

Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Sonic 2
Sonic the Hedgehog
Gunstar Heroes
Comix Zone
Toe Jam and Earl: Panic on Planet Funkotron

[Drixxel]

Columns

That looks about right. Might need a racing game to round it out, but otherwise, those games could keep me entertained indefintely if need be.
