And now that the character variance has been settled by Wolf Kanno, and yet still no word on "Anti-Bandwagon Bandwagon Fanboys", the next set! Feel free to keep up talk of FF VII though guys. ;P

Oh Childhood, how I miss you some days.

128. Lagoon (SNES)
      This is, sadly, one of those games it's a bit hard to recall all the details on, so were I to go back and re-play it, I'm not sure if I'd still rank it here on the list. So for those of you have have played this title, feel free to correct me on anything I say that sounds a bit funky.

      We have here a game with a top down Zelda-esque view, but more RPG elements then were possessed in the Zelda games. By mixing which Crystals and Staffs you had equipped you could create a variety of different spells to cast. There is even a bit where you finally come to fight and kill someone you'd befriended in your journey, and it was kind of sad when you had to cut him down after going through so much.

      It's a game that, if GameFaqs is to be believed, wasn't really very well received by those who have played it. But you know what? smurf Gamefaqs and the people who submit ratings.

127. Civilization (PC)
      This is a bit of an odd choice, mostly because it's the only game in the Civilization franchise that shows up on my list. And I'll admit that this game is really lacking in comparison to the later installments in the series. I always found it hard to get into this style of game for more then a couple days at a time, and those couple days generally have a year long gap or longer.

      The first civilization always had a certain charm for me though, and I'm not sure what exactly. Perhaps it's the almost absent minded nature which I can play it with, not really putting to much work into it as I span the globe. Breaking treaties mere turns after forming them, causing my foes anguish by sending spies to by off their cities. Mowing down legions of men armed with sticks using my Armor units.

      The music was cheesy, the random number variable was ridiculous, and effectively the only way to win was through destroying the other civilizations, making peace talks rather moot unless you intend to use it to take advantage of someone. Wonderful experience, that it was.

126.5Mario Kart 64 (N64)
      You may be wondering why there is a .5 here. Well, there were a couple games that didn't end up on my list because I forgot about them, though in hindsight I feel they do belong here. So, rather then re-order my list numbers, I'm just going to insert them like this. Mind you, there are only two other games I'll be putting in this way.

      Anyway, back to Mario Kart, this game was awesome. When you had more then one or two friends over gaming, fighting games could get a bit bothersome since you had to take turns, but with these we could get up to four people sitting down and playing. Everyone got more game time, and the more people trout talking at once the better the experience.

      This is one of the few games I would get competitive with and really enjoy it. My favorite thing to do was Battle Mode. Wario being my driver of choice, there was a lot of fun had in just the silly trout that would happen and the stupid ways one could die in that game. There was a thrill to racing down the different nutty tracks in that game as well.

      We played with some self imposed regulations from time to time. For example, there was the battle map with the four different colored towers and the flat ground beneath them. We would only do two things. Fire down Green Shells, making the bottom zone a death sentence, and place traps. We would not make any active moves to hurt the other drivers directly, and we pretty much made the gentleman's agreement that we wouldn't just sit on one spot, and actually give the map a constant drive. It was quite exhilarating.
