1. Mega Man 1 - the game that started it all, my favorite because of how many times I played it, used to be able to nail the first seven levels (from Bombman on through weaknesses) without issue.

2. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - just spent a ridiculous time on it with all my friends.

3. Mega Man Legends - one of my favorite PS One games, just loved so much about this from the gameplay to the story to the setting, the art design, and all the awesome side stuff going on.

4. Mega Man X5 - the true end of the series, loved all the references, and it just looked, played, and sounded great. This is a game you can really rock out to.

5. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of the Ages - one of the very few Zelda games Nintendo didn't do in-house, and as Link's Awakening DX was the first one I beat, the GBC follow-ups have a huge place in my heart. I'm not a big puzzle guy, but I loved playing through this more puzzle-centric game of the duology. Never beat Seasons, so this one gets the pick. Also thought the connectivity between the two games was innovative.
