1. Super Mario World: There are a lot of great SNES platformers, but this is the best. It's also a game I find that a lot of people have played, but not beat.
2. Final Fantasy X: Arguably not the best in the series, but has aged really well even without the HD remake.
3. The Longest Journey: The kind of point & click you need GameFaqs for.
4. 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors: Flawed, but it was my entry point to weeb VNs.
5. Braid: Beats everything in the puzzle-platformer category.
