I count down my top ten video games! The ten games that best define me as a gamer and are my favorites!

This video isn't the best, but I feel its not bad for a first time out! If you had trouble hearing what I said in some parts, the mostly complete script is below!
Please leave other suggestions for Top Ten's you'd like to see!

1. The Magic of Scheherazade
And my number one favorite video game is:

The Magic of Scheherazade! My very first LP, so no kidding right? I swear, this game is just magical! All the gameplay styles, the time travel, the partners, the magic, it is awesome! And it is my favorite video game!!!


2. Revelations: The Demon Slayer
In the midst of Pokemon and Digimon and Tomagothci and all those other crazes REVELATIONS: THE DEMON SLAYER!!!! What an awesome game! You recruit monsters, you fight battles, and Lets not forget. You can auto fight and beat practically anyone in 5 SECONDS!!!! AWESOME!!!!


3. Quest For Glory 4
Ahhh, memories, The four installment in the Quest For Glory series, the 4th, Shadows of Darkness, is the Adventure/RPG hybrid to feature voice acting. I remember playing this game for hours as a teenager, eating spaghetti as I ate dinner at the Inn, working through the puzzles. One of my first introductions to adventure gaming, and what a great one it is!

4. Pikmin
One of the most unique gaming ideas ever, Pikmin puts you in the seat of Captain Olimar as he tries to repair his damaged ship so he can get off the planet he crashes on. A planet full of deadly OXYGEN!! Olimar finds the Pikmin and what follows is one of the most interesting adventures in video gaming. The pikmin fight, carry, and even use explosives to help Olimar out! Too bad they make great snack foods too

5. Solomons Key
Many of you may wonder, what is Solomons Key doing on this list. For those who dont know, Solomons Key is a puzzle game that gives you the power to make and destroy blocks, jump, and shoot fireballs. You have to get the Key in each room and get out. Simple right? Not as easy as it sounds. But, that not the reason its here. When I was a boy, my mom used to work very late and she would come get me from the babysitters at like 1am in the morning, and we would take turns playing the levels of Solomans Key for a few hours or so before I went to sleep. Ah, Mom I love you!

6. Gradius III
I know I said I didnt like shooters, but, its f**king gradius! You are back to kick ass again, and this time, you get to pick your weapons from the start! Thats awesome! Added to that an awesome soundtrack, that talks to you (Speed Up!), and killer levels an d bosses, this game rocks! And lets not forget the Konami code Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A! (Explosion!) Oh Snap.

7. Megaman 3
In the opinion, the best of the 8-bit megamans. Dr. Wily created 8 more killer robots, and you gotta blow em away with your mega moves. But, when you beat them, you have to take on the Megaman 2 bosses as well! Added to that the mandatory boss gauntlet at the end of this game, and you are in for one hell of a long haul!


8. Arkistas Ring
Another NES game, Arkistas Ring is a simple game with a simple objective in each level: Kill the monsters, get the key, get out. But, there is a story if you care to know it! Christine, or Elf Heroine, is going to go and beat up the evil Shogun, and retrieve Arkistas Ring, which resotres health when you walk, The Elf Mirror, which protects from projectiles, and the Amulet of Wealth, which gives you 100 pts for each step you take! But you dont walk through the game once, oh no, not 2, not 3, but FOUR times you have to go through this to beat it!!! And the monsters get FAST!

9. Zanac
Im npot a big shooter fan, but Zanac is pretty easy to get into. Objective is simple, just shoot the enemies that appear on the screen. You get 8 powerups to choose from, numbered 0-7! So take your favorite, and go for it!

10. Rockin Kats
Rockin Kats for the NES was a sweet game! You are some cat dude named Willy trying to rescue your girlfriend Jill from an evil dog big boss and his cronies. But you dont use shotguns or call the police, you punch em out with your comic punch glove attack! Tons of cool power-ups, and unique level design make this game a classic!
