Mine were easy votes for two of my most favorite games of all time in Castlevania and Phantasy Star. Both basically perfect games in my opinion. Yeah, I said perfect.

Still sticking with Castlevania 1 on this one. Still think it's a perfect game, as I said in countless other brackets.

I voted the same way Share did. I agree with Clay that the original Castlevania is basically a perfect game. It's one of my favourite pure action/platformers, up there with Mega Man 2. And like that game, it also has some of the best music that chips have ever produced!

This has probably been brought up, and I don't know why I'm only realizing this now, but Mike Tysons punch out is definitely not the first one.

Eh, it's the first one that matters.

BUT, if people want to be sticklers about it, we can get Pokémon, Ratchet & Clank, or Mass Effect in there instead.

MTPO is my only vote here, but I do agree. Facts are facts, it's not the first in the series.

Playin' fast & loose in the side events. 2016 is the year of letting it go.
