If this was top 5, there's a very good chance this game would be in my list for this generation. Great game. I still play it occasionally.

Also, I can't help but notice no one listed PC games I know the topic is "console" but it paints an incomplete picture for a lot of us, I'm sure. For example I LOVED Portal 1 & 2 but I played them both on PC.

I played the SNES one but have far more memories playing this one co-op with my brother in the arcade. This was *our* game for a while.

It is pretty tough.

Well, I left off handheld titles because of the same description, so you are correct in some exclusions (I wouldn't have any PC titles on this list though )

Wow, really? I'd have loads of them. I'm not even going to list them here since it's off topic and I have no idea how I'd organize such a list in any meaningful way that might fit the console discussion.
