| 15 | Mendel Palace |
Don’t let the bright colors and cute graphics fool you. Game Freak’s Mendel Palace is no laughing matter. Princess Candy is trapped in her own dream and you, Bon-Bon, must save her before it turns deadly! Move the floor tiles and turn your enemy dolls into balls of tapioca. In the end, you find out that you are actually in a dream, within a dream, dreaming of Mr. Mime.
| 14 | Ikari Warriors |
Pretending to be a soldier was always fun growing up, but Ikari Warriors let you be a kamikaze commando! Sporting pink and purple, you and your buddy were given the testosterone of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Nothing beats wearing a bandana, driving pink and purple tanks, and shooting your enemies until they've danced themselves to death!
| 12 | Guerrilla War |
You want to complain about grenade spam in Call of Duty? You have no clue what grenade spam is until you play Guerrilla War. In the '80s, Guerrilla War was the definition of grenade spam. Playing the roles of political duo Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, Guerrilla War fulfilled every child's dream to explore the jungles of Cuba, squashing the legs of your enemies with the treads of your tanks.
| 11 | Rampage |
Deep down inside we all want to be powerful, even if that means being a giant monster that rips apart major cities and eating plump human beings like raisinets. Rampage helped us become King Kong and Godzilla. If it wasn't for Rampage, Rampage: World Tour would have not been made and we would have never been given the chance to fulfill our life goal: punting a fat man in a wheelchair.
