1 - Super Mario Bros. [2D Platform] NES 2 - Secret of Mana [RPG] SNES 3 - Lufia 2 [RPG] SNES 4 - Super Smash Bros. Melee [Fighting] NGC 5 - Super Mario Bros. 3 [2D Platform] NES 6 - Terranigma [RPG] SNES 7 - Super Mario World [2D Platform] SNES 8 - Final Fantasy 7 [RPG] PSX 9 - Final Fantasy 5 [RPG] SNES 10 - Super Metroid [2D Action/Adventure] SNES 11 - Chrono Trigger [RPG] SNES 12 - Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past [(Should be adventure, but)RPG] SNES 13 - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time [(Again, not really an RPG...)RPG] N64 14 - Super Mario Kart [Racing] SNES 15 - Metroid Prime [3D Action/Adventure] NGC What I don't get is why Zelda has the title of 'RPG', while Metroid doesn't. But then you got the whole "What is an RPG" debate on your hands, where in almost every game you take the role of someone... Even Mario. Maybe it's always been "If it's an overhead game, it's an RPG", but there are many exceptions. I've always had my opinion as: If you fight enemies for money and/or experience points which can contribute to your character's statistics, then it's an RPG. What do you guys think? |

Zelda = Action/Adventure. If you think it's an RPG, shut up you're wrong. | |||

Melee - Fighting - GC -Buck Bumble (Like this is going in ) - Action - N64 -Counter-Strike: Source - FPS - PC (Much better) - - - - - Hm...still some spaces left. I'd nominate the entire Megaman series as a whole, but I decided to single some out. Many of them are equally great, though. |
