All your second places are better than your first places, save for puzzle.

Well thats purely subjective now, isn't it? Doom2's mods, patches and DM was far superior to Duke Nukem. I spent like two plus years of my life playing D2 I was always a MK guy over SF. In fact, in MvC2 I don't use any SF characters. I just liked beating the crap out of Ryu with Spider Man. FF12 is probably the best FF of the modern era IMO. Chrono Trigger was almost my number one, seeing as I've played it all the way through like five times or something. FF9 and LoL are both great games that I enjoyed immensely, but weren't as complete (IMO) as FF12 is. And as far as the football games go, In no way (besides nostalgia, I suppose) is Tecmo Bowl a better looking, playing, or strategic football game than the current Madden. Plus, The Seahawks generally sucked in Tecmo. A lot of people hated Puzzle of Flesh, and the original Phantasmagoria is was held in much higher regard critically and commercially. And I liked the original too... but the cutscenes in PoF were so twisted when I was 16 they blew my mind. To this day, its the only puzzle/adventure game that I've ever finished.

Yeah but remember in Duke Nukem when you could get the strippers to flash you? We were all 13 once!
