I tend to think of a "Top 5 video game" to be one in which I could sit down this very second to play and have loads of fun doing so.  I'm staying away from the mainstream games though (as everyone knows SMB, Zelda, Metroid, Double Dragon, etc. are all favorites):

1 - Bionic Commando
2 - Super Dodge Ball
3 - Super Spike V'Ball
4 - Bad Dudes
5 - River City Ransom

**Came close to getting on my list:  Impossible Mission II, WWF Wrestlemania Challenge

1. Mega Man 2
2. The Legend of Zelda
3. Mike Tyson's Punch-out!!!
4. Metroid
5. Contra

Also notable:
Castlevania 3, Little Samson, Super Dodgeball

Not as easy as I would have thought. Mega Man 2 was a no brainer, the rest I had to think about a bit.

Mine tend to change depending on what I happen to be playing at a given time. Right now, if I were to name my top 5, it would be:

Superman
TMNT
Conan
Wizardry II
Romance of the Three Kingdoms II

With honorable mentions going to Fire 'N Ice, Xexyz, Cliffhanger, Power Blade, and a mess of other games that I just can't think of off the top of my head.

-------------------------


"It's always amazing to me how some of the most worthless games from a gaming perspective tend to fetch outrageous amounts of money. But then again, it could be said that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm curious if the high bidder of the $873.04 Stadium Events (cart-only) realizes that it's nowhere nearly as rare as about 20+ games I can think of that sell for 1/10th that amount?  At any rate, I wanted to draw attention to this trend: if people say it's rare, it must be true, and therefore it must be had at any price."

In no particular order:

Super Dodge Ball
Maniac Mansion
Little Samson (hadn't played this 'til recently, and it's quickly becoming my fave game)
Super Mario Brothers 2
Crystalis

I also like all the classics. Mario 3, Contra, Megaman, Castlevania, Zelda, etc.

Man it's tough to condense them down to five. I think everyone is pretty on point with putting Tecmo Super Bowl on their lists.
