I'll just do a few....

1)Championship Manager...My Longest serving game. Been playing versions of this game since the Amiga days. BEst managment game by far. CM 4 should see a huge jump into actually seeing the game you are playing.

2)Zelda:OOT...Amazing, never been so wrapped up in a game. Pritty sad when I completed it...wanted it to last forever. Cant say that about too many games

3) Sensible world of Soccer...Simple, yet amazing becasue its just so playable. Never gets boring. Great career mode in its day. Had a league for every country in the world! Even Indian club teams! amazing for a game on 2 floppy disks...

4) Pro Evolution Soccer...Most realistic football game ever.

5) Conker's Bad fur day...most enjoyable game by far. Rare out did themselves with this one. A joy to play, sad to see it end so quick:(

6) Mario Kart: Snes version kicks ass, N64 version sucks really.

7) WWF: NO mercy...Great wrestling fun. Slowdown really spoils it, only letdown really. Suppose Wrestlemania is better than it in that respect.

Hmmmm...nothing else really sticks out in my mind....

I'm thinking MGS2 and Halo will be on my list soon.

ehh...here it goes :D

1.) Half-Life - the greatest game ever, For the PC its the unbeatable Shoot-em-up, With add-ons coming around the clock. There's no end to the game!

6.) Goldeneye - Without this a game of pure joy would of never been created. But apart from that, This game as very good muiltplayer, Solo missions also a kinda of a semi-Co-op. (where 1 player used fire button, and the other player moves around)

35.) Star wars pod racer - very fast, fun game, It beaten F-zero-x becasue of the Graphics, (mainly)

36.) F-Zero-X - Behind SWE1PR only by 1 place. But it don't look as good and its got alot less to avoid.

55.) Daytona USA 2 - Fun game, Rent it, Also its a game you either love or hate.

56.) DK64 - its down here, so far cos i didn't like rare using that bajno game engine again...It made me feel that was just completing the same game over again. also its far too long...As anyone ever got 100%??

57.) Streets of Rage!! A brill Sega game!! I loved it!! (a bit old though..ehh...)

58.) Max Payne - Its bad on the PS2, (I hated the controls for it) but i'm sure the PC version is much better.

59.) mortal Combat 4 (N64) - Impossible to master the moves. they were like 12 button moves to do a simple attack.

60.) Soul Calibar - When i rented this game for the Dreamcast, I couldn't stop playing it. But...it don't beat tekken...or Streets of rage! (oh..soz..Did it again)

61.) GT3-A Spec - "huh? This game looks lush!!" I say..but i plays bad...Somehow still got alot of sales.

62.) Tomb Radier 2 - i felt this was the best out of the lot.

63.) House of the dead - the 1st one was good, but i found it much much harder, Which in a way was better compared to the 2nd.

64.) GT2 - At the time, this looked really good, Now its Just a cheap, game that you can now get for the dreamcast (Bleem)

65.) Quake 2 - The 2nd game, Fast paced and nice. At the time it was a must get. But now fun to get for LAN.

66.) Total Annahilation - this game looks crap, but 'somehow' it plays well with alot of units etc.

67.) Driver - At the time, It was good. In a way it started off the idea fror GTA3's dream of being Complete 3D.

68.) GTA2 - a Dark game but Good, With the added features (e.g. The meter at the top left, Showing how each of the 3 gangs like you or not). nothing near as good as GTA3 though.

69.) Tenchu 2 - My m8 has this, I'm not very fund of it. But, With the level desgin and all that, It certainly hits the spot.

70.) homeworld - is a good game, But however. It needed more :D (us people, We ask for too much)

71.) Guilty Gear X - Bullets going very where and all that. Fun.

72.) Fur fighters - Bad bad controls, But very funny!

73.) Diablo - Started off the brillaint 2nd game.

74.) Re-Volt - Fun mini Racing game. In a big World... its also a fast paced game, always got the action going untill the end.

74.) Mario 64 - Alot of people may of wanted this higher but i found this game a little boring. Sorry Ninty m8's!

75.) Theif - A medevil Look goes into a Blood gutting game. Its also Fun as well to play by yea self :D

76.) Fatal Furby's 33. alskdfjalksdjf - a funny looking game. But i'm sure its good.

77.) nokia's Snake - I found this fun and always tried to beat my m8's top score of 1237...

78.) Sega's Wipeout - This Great idea was somehow thought up. and i'm glad who ever made the idea is alive. Great game.

79.) Quake - ...Its like Quake 2, But the gameplay is alot less better also the graphics...*Coughs*

80.) Zelda - On the SNES, Big Big game for its time. Fun for a ROM now.

81.) Blue Stinger - One of the earlt Deamcast titles, It plays like RE2.

82.) AeroWings 2 - a flight sim on the Dreamcast. A game thats fun to play in the mid-afternoon.

83.) F1 World Grand Prix 2 - The features on this game are amazing. e.g. Actual Replays of the 1999 season, all tracks nicly made from real life... big let down is that its a F1 game. It gets so boring going around the track so many times. But if i was a F1 Nutter, Then this game would be near the top

84.) WWF No mercy - I didn't like this game that much. but what i did like about it was how many people you could choose from.

85.) Duke Nukem 3D - The Graphics are good for its time but its just plain now...also the wamon init are all 2D... (Damm)

86.) Dungon Keeper - Funny game, also fun to play in the spare time.

87.) Death Rally - A cheap PC game. I bet Ł1 noboby has ever played it before. I win...See how rare it is...

88.) FF7 - This is all the way down here cos i only played the game untill i met bomb and set it off...I guess thats very near the start...

89.) South Park 64 - I didn't like most of the game, Controls, and how hard it is to complete the game without cheating.

90.) Scrabble (GBA) - errmm...Ever played scrabble the broad game before? cos its like that...kinda...With really werid looking opponents...

91.) Lego racer - A bricky game, Cos its a bricky world. no really. The weapons are ok, but its better than the 2nd.

92.) Fade to black - Purely a impossible game

93.) Alien trilogy - a Very Very old looking game, But with some cheats. It heats up the action.

94.) Super Smash bros. - other People My like it. But its in here cos I ts one of 1st things that got me to play Computers. o yea, 'Classic'

95.) Mace the Dark age - A nintendo Beat-em-up, thing is i never completed it. So i found this game really hard...

96.) Star War Jedi Power Battles - This Game is mainly good for its Co-opative (Which is Quite fun)
