This section has been bringing up a lot for debate. I've been asked, "How come only a few Nintendo G&W games are on this list?" and "Games like Bandai's Burgertime LSI tabletop game sure are a lot more fun to play then some of these, aren't they?" and "How exactly did you come up with this list?" Well for one thing, it was a very difficult list to come up with. I tried to balance things as best I could (playability, rarity and desirability) maybe with a very slight leaning towards the rarer games. Sure Burgertime is a super game to play but is it as rare as say Bandai's Machineman handheld or Gakken's Moon Patrol handheld game? I don't think so. Keep in mind that all games can't be rare/fun to play/highly desired. So, hopefully this clears things up a bit. This list is strictly MY OPINION. I would think that there are other games that I do not have that would probably appear on this list if I had them. Only games in my collection appear on this list. This would make for a very good topic of discussion, so the forum is open. Maybe I will put together another list of what I feel the top 101 Rated Games are including all games that I know of whether or not I have them or not. Or this would be a great project for one of you fine collectors (o:
