If you could only have 20 games across all platforms, what would they be?
I couldn't find a topic like this, but if it already exists sorry, let me know you can have only twenty games for any console you want. These are the only games you can have for the rest of your life, no reselling. And no compilations, if an enhanced version was released such as Mario All-stars and you prefer that version, each game on the compilation counts as one game. Assume servers for online heavy games will be up indefinitely. Just curious what people would pick if they were stuck with only 20 games.

I like Mario a lot if Mario Maker had all the tools to completely re create Mario world and 3 they'd be off the list but there's a few features missing so as it stands I'm keeping them. A lot of the others are games that im nostalgic for or games that I could see spending lots of time on practicing speedruns, highscores or just fucking around in. I also tried to have a variety of genres so I don't get bored of something. Let's hear yours!

So explaining some of my picks... Melee is the first one that came to mind because Smash is my go to game whenever I have people over, with Melee being my personal favorite. The Zelda series is my favorite, so that needed a good representation. I chose a lot of classic and nostalgic titles, like SMB, Jedi Knight, and Sonic. Tetris, Ms. Pac-Man and Gun.Smoke all offer a high score based play style, giving those a pretty long shelf life. Black Ops II for my FPS game just because it's the one I've sunk the most hours into. Earthbound, FF7, and KOTOR (which I've actually never completed, so this one is kind of a wildcard for me) for RPGs.
EDIT: Damn it just saw Civ 5. I'd replace that with KOTOR. I could spend the rest of my life playing that game lol
Ugh, really hard to choose. So many of these are series that I love to death, where every entry is a frequent play. I tried to pick ones that have been big multiplayer experiences for me or just ones I've sunk a ton of time into over the years. For example, I don't know if I've ever had as much fun as I had playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii for the first time with three friends; we stayed up all night and beat the game. Such a great time.
