I'm one of those guys who likes to go back and play his old systems from time to time, so I might be biased though. My top games of all time: Super Metroid, Axelay, Castlevania (pick any of the side-scrolling ones), Metal Gear, Actraiser, Final Fantasy VI, and Valkyria Chronicles. Only one of these is new, and the last 2 are JRPGs with a linear story. Actraiser has you building up civilizations, acting as a hand of God to guide the people. The others are the "badguys're here, kill badguys, get to endboss" basic storylines you mentioned, Tom. I’m gonna have to agree on the oldies being the best.

(even if the other guy made a compelling argument...) I miss my nes... my favorite game, aside from Mario 3 was Adventure Island...
