I keep trying to figure out a way to remove one of them, but I just can't, so I have to keep my top five N64 games as OoT, Mario 64, F-Zero X, Rush 2049, and Wipeout 64... I know what you're going to say, but I love all three of those racing games a lot and just can't say that one is so much worse than the other two that they should be seperated... and given that they are some of my favorite N64 games, they take up spots 3-5. Even if there are other games that deserve to also be in the top five. :)
As for the "overall" list, hmm... it's really hard to decide on such a list. First, I stick with games that I actually own to go on this list -- that's why other older games that I acknowledge as great don't show up there. That's a "best games I own overall" list, really -- like all of my lists. I don't feel that it's right to include games I don't own as I probably haven't played them as much... but yeah it could use some tweaking (though there wouldn't be many games actually being added or removed, mostly just shifting some around).
Same with the PC list -- the question isn't really if many other games belong on that list (perhaps either Quest for Glory I or IV onto it somewhere?), but more about the order. It seems like every time I think about it they shift around some... but the core actual games on that list haven't moved in a long time (and by core I mean the seven or eight games I'd mention if I was asked what my favorite PC games are... several on that list are more favorites of the time (that are great but not quite "best ever" level games), I should edit those lists... :))
