This video is "Sega Lord X's" equivalent to my favorite games of all time list, it seems-- he just uses different language to describe the idea: "These aren't the best games I've ever played, but they are my 'comfort games'." We even have some overlap, which is fun!

I don't update my list very often-- which makes sense, since forty years into the hobby my taste is pretty-well refined by now-- but his video gave me inspiration to do the first new revision in quite some time. Head over there to take a peek!

The big change involves me replacing the original Sonic with the "Sonic Origins" collection-- I quite literally don't even play the original ROM or cartridge anymore, plus the collection has rejuvenated my love for all of the Genesis Sonic titles, including "Sonic CD" which I adore now. The collection is the definitive way to experience them all, even with the missing Michael Jackson-associated music.

Nintendo also pops into the list for the first time ever, with several entries-- all made possible because I blew the list all the way up from thirty-five to a massive fifty. I could have kept going, and maybe I will some day. I could probably double the size, but by that point it would start to defeat the purpose, which is "what games do repeatedly play over and over?"
