So, looks like I’ve played 19 of these games. Although not all of them were my thing and some of them I’ve barely played more than once briefly, I’ll agree that they were all pretty solidly good.

A few of the others are on my wish list (especially now that they’re available on PC) so maybe one day I’ll be able to agree or disagree.

I enjoy seeing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on these greatest games lists because back in the days when it was originally released, it seemed like it was practically ignored in my social circle. At the time, if a game wasn’t using low fidelity, standard definition polygon-based graphics (aka 3D), it had to be a fighting game or it would be completely ignored. Yet, that particular game was one of my favorites of the era and I didn’t get to enjoy it with anybody else at the time because they just saw it as a lame 2D game.
