My Top 10 Favorite Video Games - My Retro Life

Always look at people Favourite retro lists to find a game to play.... contra 3? I'm on it

Just found your channel but I like your style most gamming channels are to loud and annoying. These are great to drink coffee to in the morning

Anyone remember any awesome Mech Fighting games in the arcades of early 90s..One of my favorite games I ever played and I forgot the name

I am stoked to find that mega man 2 is actually on the NES Classic Edition mini console that I happen to own and just haven't fully explored yet. I didn't know I owned that game!!! I'm excited to play it with some of the appreciation that you shared for it in my corner. Thank you so much for sharing your top ten! Super Mario 64 is one of my top games of all time too.

In 2000, im happy i had a skateboard , but im happy u had castlevania on ur list

Mega Man 2 is almost a flawless game.

Awesome video man!! You definitely had some great parents! I actually found out 3 days ago that my wife and I will be having our first child.. I can see the joy you and your father shared and I hope so bad I can give those same amazing memories to my kid

I played contra 3 but it was so hard I never made it past the first level😂😂😂

So did you not play any of the metal gear solid stuff or just not get into it...

I’ve watched so many of these videos, and I have to say he needs to stop saying “my favourite game of all time”… after hearing that over 50 times
I’m just thinking, what are you talking about!?! You can only have one game that is your “favourite game of all time”… start making sense dude! Cus at the moment you are not.

Nice video Tyler. My favourite game of all time is Road Rash.

I don't know where it would be on a top ten list but wild arms was a favorite with my brother and i

No modern games? I'm your age and have been gaming since early 90s, but my top 10 would definitely include some ps3 and ps4 games as well.

I used to put a pringles can on my hand and pretend i was mega man as a kid lol.😊

Great pick for #1

When starting the video i was thinking about what would be on my list...i had mass effect, mario 64, sotn and another one. Im pretty new to your channel and only watched a couple for the first time this week so, i dont know what your tastes are but i knew you liked sega.

As the countdown went on i thought "hrmm what could his number one be? Everyone picks zelda but i dont think he will. A few years younger than myself so maybe not mega man...then i get to #1. Couldnt believe it, thats mine as well. Ever since i was 8(1990). My friend down the road owned it and i played it almost every chance i had. Every year i pop it on and play through.

When i had my modded xbox the emulator on it was able to toggle a faster speed mode. I practiced and practiced till i was able to beat it. Hours spent going through quickman, heatman and bubblemans stages. Hardest of all i think was the dragon fight in wileys first stage. I always catch myself whistling music from the game..even my 9 year old son will do the songs just from how often i do it. Sadly hes not too into the old megamans.

Love the way your videos are edited man. The old cam recorder bits are gold. Hooked.

What's the info for the first add that was on this video

I already know there are kids who saw this n went "THEY HAD UR BIRTHDAY AT A F'KING MCDONALDS!?!?" lol.. in those days especially in the 80s and even into the early 90s, McDonalds playland was a bday Hotspot akin to chuckie cheese!! They even sold these single layer cakes and party hats!! I almost forgot about mcds birthday extravaganzas!

Having watched so many of your videos covering PS1/Saturn era and prior, it kinda caught me off guard when you slipped in that your parents had divorced on this one. I cant recall you mentioning that in any other video of yours I have watched. I gather it must have been around the Dreamcast launch then? I have not watched any of your videos covering Dreamcast stuff yet, so maybe I missed it there?

Very difficult to choose,but in no particular order: Crazy Taxi, Phantasy Star Online, Doom, Streets of Rage 2, Command & Conquer, Shining Force 3, Heroes of Might and Magic 2, Shenmue, Tokyo Highway Challenge, Road Rash 2.

Thank God I still have my Dreamcast 😊 one of my favorite games on the Dreamcast is Expendable. Good sci Fi action game 🎮

My favorite game of all time is Mother 3

Nights was actually remastered on the xbox 360. I still play it on my Series X.

There was that Knights game on the Wii, it’s kinda a reboot isn’t it?

The way you talk about your dad, reminds me of the relationship I wish I had with mine. He passed in 2002. But my mom is who got me into video games. These videos really brings me nostalgia, and happiness. So thank you very much.

Sorry but very shotty top 10.

I get nostalgic when I hear MM2 soundtrack, I just saw Bit Brigade perform Ducktales, Megaman2 in concert and it blew my mind

I haven’t even watched the video yet, but I’ll tell you right now, I clicked on it specifically because you DIDN’T show the game/character/console/etc. in the thumbnail. Thanks for letting the audience be curious

I remember Contra 3 but my brother beat it. As a Nintendo 64 fan, my favorite game was Goldeneye

Would you ever mind doing a top 10 favorite console? That would be awesome

Since Castlevania is so high on your list... What did you think of Lords of Shadow. I played the original Castlevania on NES and I thought LoS eclipsed all the side scrollers by a decent margin. I even played the Mirror of Fate port on the 360.

Ya man I remember going around with a koozie pretending to be Megaman!

some of my favorite games include skylanders trap team(my favorite game of all time, super nostalgic, still have fun playing it), knack(i know everyone hates it but i frickin' love it), spyro ripto's rage(the first game i ever played and still one of my favorites), ni no kuni wrath of the white witch(played it for the first time this year and it blew me away. it was just amazing in every way)

Looks like Mass Effect is a special game for both of us.

I was mesmerized by Shenmue when it first came out. I loved the Dreamcast, and was so bummed when it was discontinued. Both myself and my best friend.

He's unfortunately no longer with us. He was born with a heart condition, and wasn't expected to live 6 months. He wound up living up to be 32, before he finally succumbed, and we both were big gamers at the time. I think he loved Sega even more than me, and got to go to Japan, and bring home a bunch of imported games, which I'm happy to say are now a part of my collection, which he bequeathed to me.

Also, Tyler, I lost my father very suddenly in 2006, just a year before you lost yours, so I know the pain all too well, along with the comfort that could be found in gaming. As a matter of fact, the first Christmas after I lost him, I was in Wal-Mart looking for a gift for my sister, when someone suddenly came out with a cart full of Wii consoles. This was back when the Wii was impossible to get, as you'll surely remember, so I went ahead and snatched one right there. It was a Christmas miracle, and it felt like, somehow, my Dad had arranged it all from somewhere.

Speaking of Shenmue, have you ever played the Yakuza games? They feel almost feel like the evolution of the Shenmue formula.

Legend of dragoon!!!

Thank you. I love you, your videos and being able to get glimpses into your early life....which absolutely allows me to access memories I've forgotten or overlooked. There are those here on YT that bring that nostalgic magic...and you ,Sir,...are one of those rare magicians that bring that TRUE magic. I appreciate that more than you will ever know and/or perhaps understand. Much love and respect.

Sonic CD is also in my top 10, I'm also nostalgic about it. My uncle was always up on the latest games and coming to play this one with the CD quality music and effects, the time travel, it was so immersive for me ❤😊

I love how nostalgic your videos are brings me back to my childhood for sure!

My #1 Favorite Game Is Daytona USA love that game from the graphics to the music and I'd have to say my favorite retro game system would have to be the sega saturn

Nice list, SOTN & Shenmue are way up there on my list as well!

Mario 64 and Castlevania

Street fighter 2 should be on this somehow, you know it

Love your family!

I loved Mass Effect and had it when it first came out, but I never returned to that series.

Dude I promise you, before you know it, you'll be passing 100,000 subs and then 500,000 subs and beyond. This channel is 🤌🤌🤌💵💵💵

Chef's kiss

Cant wati to see your top 10!!

Love stumbling across random channels that aren't insanely popular (yet) that get me subbing after 5 minutes! I can tell that talking about your childhood was bittersweet in that you had so many amazing memories but miss the people that were in it so badly every day. Growing up certainly isn't easy.

Shenmue 1 and 2 are my own favourites. The games were almost too ambitious for their own good and not everything was executed too well. But the games had such soul and charisma that are rarely found in modern day titles.

Super interesting top 10. My top 3 would be 1. Tomb Raider on PS1, Contra on NES, and Street Fighter 2 on almost everything.
