1) Shenmue (DC)
2) Metal Gear Solid (PSX)
3) Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (DC)
4) Unreal Tournament (PC)
5) Z.O.E (PS2)

Actually, Conkers BFD had three votes, two in first place and one in second, which just beat Shenmue.

Err hang on a minute how come Conkers at the top I can only see one vote!

You see my point exactly, Conker is number one and probably one of the most recent games! This does prove my point so if the rest of you that have quoted me were taking the micheal then you look stupid, not me!

OK then there have been 12 votes in this poll, so I reckon that's enough to compile a chart. Here's how it works:
A game that is placed first on somebody's list gets extra credit, so three first place votes would beat 5 fourth place votes. Anyway here are the top ten games:

1) Conker's Bad Fir Day (N64)
2) Shenmue (DC)
3) Metal Gear Solid (PSX, PC)
= Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
5) Banjo Tooie (N64)
= Perfect Dark (N64)
7) NiGHTS (Saturn)
= Resident Evil: Code Veronica (DC, PSX)
9) Final Fantasy VII (PSX, PC)
= Deus Ex (PC)
= Goldeneye (N64)

Thanks to those who voted, and if you want, you still can.
:-)

my favourite games are:
1)Final fantasy 8 (psx)
2)Goldeneye (n64)
3)MGS (psx)
4)Black and white (pc)
5)Championship Manager 2001 (pc)

My favourite game is, and will most likely always be, The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past (Zelda 3)
