Ed unfortunately, I beleive you are about to be banished to the netherrealm for posting more than once in a 100 list.   

I guess while I'm posting I shall get the obvious out of the way.
14.) Pacman

I'm most dreadfully embarassed... I'll spare giving you the list one at a time and we'll all just make do, somehow.

23. Contra

[Mr. DS]

24.) Mortal Kombat 2

The best of the series IMHO. 

[Psycho Circus]

25. Earthworm Jim



One of the weirdest, wackiest games ever made....a goldfish bowl for a boss??
Jim's making a comeback, thankfully! 

[Mr. DS]

26.) Sonic The Hedgehog (I prefer part 2)

[Psycho Circus]

DarkiSider just read my mind, I was actually a second away from posting Sonic 2. 

27. MediEvil




A really, really fun game!  This game had some really cool weapons, the level design was really quirky and the boss battles were always imaginative. Also, short cut-scenes were well inter-woven with active game-play, along with spooky settings. Tons and tons and tons of fun! 

[Mr. DS]

28.) Combat - Atari 2600

I say keep your XBox 360 war games, this one will always be the best.     My brother and I would kill hours playing it. 

[Psycho Circus]

29. Star Fox 





Remember the first time I played this bad boy, alot of fun and broke new ground with 3D-effect flight simulation.
