We probably could have posted another nominations thread, tallied the votes, and posted the entire list before this one ever finished.

Don't have time for the formatting, but I'm going to be turning these out regularly now with the name and comments. If people'd like full formatting, you can do the mock up once the names are announced.
110. Return Fire
I'm probably the only person who will list a game that came out on this system. Since this is the system that introduced me to this ultimate capture the flag game, I figured I'd list it. If you ever have time to kill and wish to see literally impossible levels, play this game.
109. Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES)
Basically the same thing as the first two DKC's. And that's absolutely great. The differently designed world map was kind of iffy, but when it came down to the core gameplay, everything was right on target. And even though it wasn't DK, it gave us back a large companion in Kiddy Kong, and it worked wonders.
108. Madden NFL 2004
I relocated the Washington Redskins to Mexico.
107. Roller Coaster Tycoon
106. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Arcade Game
I very nearly put part III on this list, but ultimately I decided that part 2 may have been better. So many hours spent with my friends playing this game. If you were a Ninja Turtles fan as a kid, this game was heaven.
105. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2
This game consumed my life for about 6 months, in the quest to score every gap and unlock the final secret character. Easily one of the most fun multiplayer games I've ever played, and it also led to an internet forum I've been a member of for over 7 years. Astoundingly fun game and still the peak of the series for me.
104. Banjo-Kazooie
One of the great platformers of the N64. I have spent hours upon hours collecting notes, puzzle pieces, jinjos, eggs, red feathers, gold feathers...
Another of Rare's crowning achievements on the N64, and perhaps one of the most underrated platformers. Cute, zany, great level design, great graphics, great music, and great fun.
Rare's masterpiece
103. Command and Conquer: Red Alert (PC)
Red Alert’s an odd choice. I’ve never actually played it. I’ve played RA2 and Tiberium Sun and enjoyed them well enough. However, my love for Red Alert comes from watching my Dad play it on his PC when I was a wee lad. As it was an 18, it felt a bit rebellious and I loved it.
The one and only RTS that I still go back to. Tiberium wars annoyed, the original C&C was far to cluncky and Red Alert 2 was crap.
It's hard to pick just one game from this great RTS series, but Red Alert was simply awesome.
102. Devil May Cry
101. Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Of the entire Sonic series, the second installment is my favourite. The addition of Tails and the Sonic Spin made it even more fun. The music and levels are easily the most memorable of the entire franchise. Casino Night Zone ftw!

Yay, DKC3. Love that game (that's my comment beneath it).

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, Bango Kazooie and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 define my life.
I played these 3 games so much, I could probably beat them with my eyes closed.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 should've ranked higher though. Great game, and the introduction of Tales is priceless.

110. Return Fire
I'm probably the only person who will list a game that came out on this system (3DO). Since this is the system that introduced me to this ultimate capture the flag game, I figured I'd list it. If you ever have time to kill and wish to see literally impossible levels, play this game.
no you weren't, whoever you are. one of the most fun 2 player games i've ever played. i'm pleasantly surprised to see it actually made the list.

Sweet. I'm really pleased it made it so far on the list. It got to the point where my friends and I just wanted to see the final levels so we purposely had each other sabotage our own camps and try to hand off the flags to each other. If it weren't for those horrid helicopters...
As for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game, I was hoping it would make the top 100. Oh well. I still get level music from this game stuck in my head.

i've actually recently been considering buying a 3DO off ebay just so i could play return fire again. i know they made a port for the ps1, but it just wouldn't be the same.

The THPS2 comment is mine. I'm not joking, from September to February of 2000-2001 I played that game constantly. The days I finally a) got that stupid 'Big Air Out of the Banks' gap and b) landed a million point combo are still some of my favourite video game moments.
1080 Pogo Air to Heelflip Darkslide in Venice FTW. It seems I dragged it into the top 200 though since I had it at about no 3 IIRC. 
Haven't played most of the others.
Oh and Return Fire was on PC as well.

Sorry for the wait and thanks to Arrie for posting the last batch.
To explain my absence, I had finals, moving, NYC trip, and drama to take up my time...I'm really sorry.
