Top 5 Video Games of All-Time

[Shodan]

This is hard for me, but I got to go with:

1. Pong - It kickstarted the genre as a whole. It wasn't the first video game, but it was the first popular commercial one.

2. Super Mario Bros. - It revived a dead video game market.

3. Chrono Trigger - Oh god the music. I've played a lot of RPGs, but to me, this one just barely edges out FF6 as the best.

4. Contra - Kept me "entertained" for hours. I finally beat the fucker a few months ago (unless you don't believe emulators count).

5. For a more modern pick, it's a tie here between Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl and Civilization III. Civ III was amazing when it released and, functionally at least, still holds up well today.

Honorable mentions:

Galactic Civilizations II
Guitar Hero III
Most Zelda games
