    Classic gaming is definitely my thing, but for some reason I seem to enjoy the cream of the crap. For the NES alone my top 10 would have stuff like Conan (yes, I actually like it, and have played it enough to actually beat it legit!), Superman (people hate on it but it plays quite well once you get used to the jumping mechanics), and a few others that elude me in my sleep-deprived mildly-concussed state. At the same time, there's be some relatively obscure gems, like Wizardry 2 and Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2, among others. With a collection as large as mine is though, spanning more years of gaming than I've been alive, it's really tough to choose favorites.
