Top 100 Games Ever
And while we're on the topic of geeky lists: IGN's Top 100 Video Games Ever. I actually love this list, especially because even though I stopped playing video games for massive quantities of time after my first year in college, I've still been able to play 15 of the top 20 games. And it makes me want to go play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night again.

You should get Day of the Tentacle. Great game.
I remember when this list came out in Fark. Of course, everybody cannot all agree, but the list was somewhat liked. The order wasn't. Sid Meyer's Pirates as number 6? Leaving out the original Zelda (I agree that A Link to the Past was better though).
My list almost matches yours, Crazymonk. Every RPG listed on IGN I've played. (I noticed that you haven't played any of the Ultimas.) I just have a few differences on the other games.
