Top Five Classic Video Games

What is your favorite video game of all time? I’m talking go all the way back to the beginning of console gaming, and think forward. Walfred sent in his top five favorite games of all time, so let’s take a look at them, and see if your favorite is in there.

  • Tales of Phantasia for the Nintendo game system. This is a greatly unmentioned game with an excellent story line.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past again for the Nintendo game console. This has an awesome story line, and I have probably beaten it more than any other game… ever.
  • Donkey Kong 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest for the… you guessed it… Nintendo gaming system. I’m seeing a pattern here that Walfred feels Nintendo is the best console system of all time!
  • Tetris is the game that has been the most sold and most copied game ever. It is probably also the single most well-known game of all time. Walfred knows that this is probably #1 on most people’s list, but he has a different favorite.
  • Final Fantasy IV is the “bestest and goodest” game of all time, according to Walfred. Keep in mind, those are his words, not mine! He feels it has the best mix of characters, the best story line… and he feels the music is so good, it should be the National Anthem of every country in the world.

There you have it, Walfred’s top five favorite video games of all time. What’s your top five? I’m interested in hearing what they are. Leave a follow-up comment to this video with your list, or email me at chris@pirillo.com
