MAME (I used to only have access to MAME games when I was younger, as I had no consoles, and no PC which could run games from its own era decently):

Carrier Airwing (a scrolling aircraft shooter)
Blood Brothers (a western shooter)
Majestic 12 (a space invaders sequel)
Gaplus (a bit like space invaders, but done differently)

PC games (an option only added recently since I bought my own PC)

Skyrim
TF2

XBox 360

Battlefield 3
Portal 2
HALO Reach

PS2

Star Wars Battlefront 2
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

Wii

MarioKart Wii
Wii Sports (When guests are present)

Been thinking of making a thread like this, I'm glad to see someone else thought the same.
Great thread by the way, brings back a lot of memories...

I'm assuming you only want the top 3 favorite games of each console listed?

[color=#4B0082]Nintendo[/color]
[color=#483D8B].:Nintendo Entertainment System:.[/color]
[color=#483D8B]1. [/color]The Legend of Zelda
[color=#483D8B]2. [/color]Faxanadu
[color=#483D8B]3. [/color]Battle of Olympus

[color=#483D8B]Personal Notes[/color]
The Legend of Zelda, I think this one doesn't need an explanation. It's a legendary game.
Faxanadu was my first RPG I've ever played, and to this date, is easily one of the most enjoyable among them. It is one of the most overlooked and underrated games on the NES. If you haven't played this game already, do it!
Battle of Olympus was probably my second RPG game which I really liked. Again, this also belongs to the overlooked and underrated games.


[color=#483D8B].:Super Nintendo:.[/color]
[color=#483D8B]1. [/color]Chrono Trigger
[color=#483D8B]2. [/color]Secret of Mana
[color=#483D8B]3. [/color]Super Metroid

[color=#483D8B]Personal Notes[/color]
Chrono Trigger. How can I begin to describe this masterpiece? ... This is the mother of all RPGs.
Secret of Mana was an amazing RPG, even more amazing when you play it will up to 3 friends. That's right, it's a multiplayer RPG game.
Super Metroid was an amazing experience from start to finish. The added RPG elements to the game were very welcome and felt right in the game.


[color=#483D8B].:Nintendo 64:.[/color]
[color=#483D8B]1. [/color]The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
[color=#483D8B]2. [/color]The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
[color=#483D8B]3. [/color]Donkey Kong 64

[color=#483D8B]Personal Notes[/color]
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time needs no explanation. It's a legendary game.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask needs no explanation either. It's a legendary game.
Donkey Kong 64 is one of the few games on the N64 I've had so much fun with. The added multiplayer support made it so much better.


[color=#483D8B].:Nintendo Gamecube:.[/color]
[color=#483D8B]1. [/color]Tales of Symphonia
[color=#483D8B]2. [/color]Baten Kaitos
[color=#483D8B]3. [/color]The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

[color=#483D8B]Personal Notes[/color]
Tales of Symphonia, is the only game I've beaten more than 1 time. I'm on my 4th run I think now. It's my favorite of the Tales of franchise.
Baten Kaitos is an amazing RPG, if you can withstand the voice acting, which IMO wasn't too terrible or game breaking.
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker needs no explanation. It's a legendary game.


[color=#483D8B].:Nintendo Wii:.[/color]
[color=#483D8B]1. [/color]Xenoblade Chronicles
[color=#483D8B]2. [/color]The Last Story
[color=#483D8B]3. [/color]Reserved for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

[color=#483D8B]Personal Notes[/color]
Xenoblade Chronicles was the most fun I've had in years. Easily one of my favorite RPGs. I've spent over 80 hours in the game and enjoyed every second of it.
The Last Story was a clear and to the point game where you can follow the story without getting sidetracked too much. While I hoped for it to be a bit more open, it was an amazing experience.
So far, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is topping every other Zelda game in my book (if you can withstand the reincarnated Navi).



[color=#4B0082]Sony[/color]
[color=#483D8B].laystation:.[/color]
[color=#483D8B]1. [/color]Castlevania Symphony of the Night
[color=#483D8B]2. [/color]The Legend of Dragoon
[color=#483D8B]3. [/color]Final Fantasy IX

[color=#483D8B]Personal Notes[/color]
Castlevania Symphony of the Night is my favorite Castlevania game. It's classic Castlevania combined with RPG elements.
The Legend of Dragoon was unnecessarily overshadowed by the Final Fantasy franchise. This was one of the best RPGs in that era, despite the horrendous review scores.
Final Fantasy IX. I'm already hearing you say: why not Final Fantasy VII? While I really enjoy both, Final Fantasy IX has more 'fantasy' than Final Fantasy VII.


[color=#483D8B].laystation 2:.[/color]
[color=#483D8B]1. [/color]Shadow of the Colossus
[color=#483D8B]2. [/color]Tales of the Abyss
[color=#483D8B]3. [/color]Metal Gear Solid 3

[color=#483D8B]Personal Notes[/color]
Shadow of the Colossus was an otherworldly experience. The barren landscapes in the game make you think. Each colossi you slay evokes more questions...
Tales of the Abyss was my second Tales of game. I started playing the game very skeptic, but I quickly realized that this was going to be an amazing RPG.
Metal Gear Solid 3 is IMO the best of the franchise. So many advanced functionality were added. You can literally kill every animal you see for food. And you have to treat yourself medically when you are injured.


[color=#483D8B].laystation 3:.[/color]
[color=#483D8B]1. [/color]Metal Gear Solid 4
[color=#483D8B]2. [/color]None
[color=#483D8B]3. [/color]None

[color=#483D8B]Personal Notes[/color]
Metal Gear Solid 4 is IIRC the only game I've played from start to finish on the PS3.
It's a classic Metal Gear Solid game, but it felt too short. (Probably due to the crazy amount of cutscenes)

[color=#4B0082]PC[/color]
[color=#483D8B]1. [/color]Neverwinter Nights
[color=#483D8B]2. [/color]Dungeon Siege
[color=#483D8B]3. [/color]Deus Ex

[color=#483D8B]Personal Notes[/color]
Neverwinter Nights truly takes the RPG experience to the next level. You are also free to create your own game world with its own game masters and add your own stories.
Dungeon Siege is the best of the Dungeon Siege games. Seeing Dungeon Siege 3 makes me sad... I've beaten Dungeon Siege not too long ago online with my bro's. It was very enjoyable.
Deus Ex, I've recently gotten it from a Steam sale, and I've played it for 21 hours already. It's a great RPG so far.

* Note: It was hard not including games that deserved to be in the top three. I might just edit them if needed.

le me is too lazy/wouldn't be able to decide which games to make a list :3

[color=#FF0000]Arcade / MAME[/color]

Quote:Neverwinter Nights

Main problem with Neverwinter Nights: It has a licence key, so it's stuck on a PC which I never use. I bought it because I'd played about an hour at someone else's house, and then 5 years later, saw a copy of the deluxe edition (came with expansion packs), and bought it.

I wanted this to be a tough decision that you had to make, as it was for me. Think of it as you picking the only 3 games that you are ever going to play from each platform, that'll probably make you think long and hard on your choices. I should have mentioned that originally.

By the way, I left out Eternal Darkness from my GC list and I'm not happy about it, but I can't see replacing anything else I have there already.

MEGA update to my list.

Yeah, it's tough, but it let's you see what games have really inspired you over the years, and which one's you've had the best experiences with. But it's not as tough as choosing, say something like "if only 3 games ever existed in the universe, which ones would they be for you?"

@Garteal - Your PS3 list is a little, empty... I know you like RPGs, there are at least a couple you should check out, like SO4, Tales of Graces, and Valkyrie Chronicles.

Added PC games to my list. Updated some other stuff.
