So, here's a list, in order I received the consoles:

• Super Mario Brothers Trilogy


• Metroid


• Ninja Gaiden Trilogy


• TMNT2


• Mike Tyson's Punchout

Sega Genesis

• Mortal Kombat


• Sonic the Hedgehog Series


• Ecco the Dolphin Series


• NBA JAM: TE


• Street Fighter 2: CE


• Streets of Rage Trilogy

Super Nintendo

• Mortal Kombat 2


• Super Metroid


• Street Fighter 2: CE


• Samurai Showdown


• Super Mario Kart

Nintendo Gameboy

• Metroid II: Return of Samus


• Tetris


• Dr Mario

Sony Playstation

• Mortal Kombat Trilogy


• Intelligent Qube


• Xmen vs Street Fighter


• Final Fantasy 7 & 8


• Einhander

Can you tell I like Metroid? I haven't been disappointed by one yet, except maybe Metroid Prime Pinball. I like it, but pinball is only entertaing for so long.

Anyway, I'm sure the list should be longer, but this is all I can come up with at the moment.
