    It’s hard to rank your own games, so many ways to rank them. Do you rank them by what they mean to you? By your personal taste? Do you try and be objective in some way and not let your personal bias as to a pet theme get in the way? Do you rate them by your keepers or by the funnest games?

    For example, three games I know I will never sell are Doctor Who, Varkon, and Safe Cracker, but they are three of my least played games and I would not rate any of them higher than Tron...but I’d sell Tron way before I sold any of those three.

    Quoted from Audioenslaved:

    Maybe I look at how much fun they are.

    Ranking that way favors the newest games in ones collection. Right now I love TBK and R&M and feel they are the funnest, but they are also my two newest games. I think you have to have a game for a year to take out the recency bias.

    A game I always return to is Star Trek. I agree with you about X-Men, it is tragically under rated and one of the top Stern machines ever. I may try and do a ranking later.

    Another issue to consider is fun alone vs fun with friends. A game like TNA is incredible with a group of friends over, but Star Trek or LOTRs will simply sit unplayed when friends are over due to ball times and people getting bored watching and not playing.

    This is a great thread by the way!

    Alright, I realized my collection was not up to do date thanks to this thread, so I updated it: Rick & Morty and Shrek now appear.

    Okay, I rated based on pure simple fun I have with the games as of today...this is not reflective of how I think these games rank historically or their likely longevity in my collection:

    1) Rick & Morty
    2) The Black Knight
    3) Twilight Zone
    4) Star Trek Premium
    5) Batman 66
    6) The Addams Family
    7) TNA
    8) Bram Stoker’s Dracula
    9) Elvira House of Horrors
    10) Catacomb
    11) Tron
    12) Quicksilver
    13) Wizard of Oz
    14) Metallica
    15) Doctor Who
    16) Iron Man
    17) Medusa
    18) Dialed In
    19) Safe Cracker
    20) Seawitch
    21) Solar Ride

    Not rated at all yet: Shrek (just bought it yesterday!!!).

    Quoted from ReadyPO:

    Too hard, that is why my collection is out of control! I like them all! I'll put them by category like the academy awards:
    Sentimental - Aladdin's Castle - the one that started it all.
    Art- Mata Hari
    Challenging - Houdini
    Game night favorite - Munsters
    Best executed theme - CFTBL
    Best movie theme/integration - Goldeneye
    Best "just one more game" - Black Knight (honorable mention - Space Shuttle)
    Best EM - Fire Queen (combo of graphics and game play)

    This is truly the best way to break it down, I might do some re-ranking into categories.

    Another fun thread the OP may want to create that is similar to this thread, but different enough to warrant its own thread, is rate games you used to own but no longer own (exclude games you bought back and have currently, I would not be able to rate Tron of Iron Man, for example).

    Quoted from VALIS666:

    WTF?
    q67P9o!D: Orbitor 1

    This category had my cracking up...I rate Varkon in that category too. LOL
