Hey Everyone!

Some of you eagle-eyed users might have noticed something new in the latest LaunchBox beta (13.16)—our Game Discovery Center now taps into special online lists curated by the LaunchBox team, bringing you fresh and seasonal game recommendations!

Once 13.16 rolls out, over time you can expect to see new and exciting game lists in the Game Discovery Center, and we're even considering opening this up to the community in the future.

But in the meantime, to kick things off we want to create a special playlist curated by YOU, the community! We will build a master playlist out of everyone's answers and have it appear inside the Game Discovery Center!

All you have to answer is the following the following question:

What are your top 5 favorite games of all time?

There’s no right or wrong answer here— it could be games that you think have the best gameplay, were the most impactful, or simply hold a special nostalgic place in your heart. Our goal is to highlight the community’s favorite picks so that others can discover them too.

To get started, here are my top picks, covering each of my favorite genres:

    •    Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
    •    Street Fighter IV
    •    Mario Power Tennis
    •    SSX3
    •    Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair

Each of these games is instantly re-playable for me. Whether it’s starting a new save file on Sonic Adventure 2 Battle or Yooka-Laylee, aiming for those elusive platinum medals in SSX3 (still chasing that goal!), or reliving the great memories I had playing Street Fighter IV and Mario Power Tennis with friends, these games always bring me back for more.

So, what are your top 5? Feel free to share your reasons too! Once we gather enough contributions, we’ll add them to the Game Discovery Center and update this post so you can keep an eye out for it.

Can’t wait to see your picks!

Happy Gaming,
The LaunchBox Team

Oooh, my five most favouritest games of all time.  Cue reminiscing.

  • Super Mario Bros 3 - I spent so much allowance money renting this game I probably could have bought it twice, if any stores in town sold it!  So much replayability, and never enough Tanookie.
  • Civilization - Just.  One.  More.  Turn.  'Nuf said.
  • Hero's Quest (damn you Milton Bradley!) Quest for Glory - Character skills that develop as you use them, your choices have repercussions, and the developers had a sense of humour.  Classic.
  • Final Fantasy VII - I have never wanted to kill an antagonist more than Sephiroth after the death of Aerith.  Emotional manipulation creates fond memories.
  • Fallout 4 - Huge game, perfectly balanced with no exploits.  This game introduced me to the world of modding and continues to deliver (Fallout: London).

Now I have to go and lose some sleep before work tomorrow.  Thanks Launchbox Celebration.

You picked Double Dragon for the Arcade!!!! That’s my all time favorite

It was the first arcade game i could finish using one credit. I loved it so much i would often play it couple of times a day when i went to the arcade. Gotta love the spamming of the elbow move to defeat everyone lol

That’s awesome. I could beat it with 3 credits. 75 cents for about 45 minutes of such great gameplay was always worth it for me.

The secret was elbow the enemy then turn the other way and elbow him as he gets up and repeat till he died. can be used on every enemy

I’ll have to try that strategy. I threw a lot of elbows, but I always lured the enemies into them.

Also, have you played Double Dragon Reloaded?
