One of my main goals with my game collection is to acquire the top 10 titles (minus Pokemon games) for every console I have in my collection.
I have created this top 10 with the help of this Wikipedia article listing several highest grossing games for various different consoles. Where the data wasn’t available in that article, I pieced together a top 10 list by scouring the web for various “top 10 games” of each console, and any games that appear on one or more lists, will make its way onto mine.
I feel that I now have a genre spanning list of games from each console to work from.
I am aiming to get a complete copy of the games in relatively good condition. Now I realise that this will be quite a difficult challenge and will end up being a costly endeavor, but hey, nothing worth having ever comes easy. In order to afford the games I will be scouring second hand shops, charity shops, car boot sales and calling on friends to help.
Below is my always updated top 10 game collection, in order of console release date.
