1) Equinox. Although Star Fox is probably the better game, Equinox is too good to lose without a least a couple votes.

2) Final Fantasy V. Although I don't have much experience with Metroid 2, FFV is one of the greatest games of all time. It takes a great deal to better a game to be physically beatable at level 3 while still providing challenge at level 35.

3) DKC. Both are good games, bit even I beat TMNT IV the same night I had gotten it.

4) pass
