The Organization for the Preservation of Classic Forms of Gaming
Thanks to Mike Boyajian for the logo!

Well, I've gotten all of the replies I'm going to get (for now), and the votes have been tallied. Due to the fact that so many games had tied votes, I've divided them into groupings by the number of votes received. These groupings are in no particular order, although 25 games are listed. So, without further ado, here's the Top 25 Games (Pre-1995):

Group 4 (3 votes each)

25. Castlevania Bloodlines (Genesis)
24. Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES)
23. Super Mario World (SNES)
22. Mega Man X (SNES)
21. Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword Of Chaos (NES)
20. Metal Gear (NES)
19. Final Fantasy (NES)
18. Final Fantasy III (SNES)
17. Mega Man 3 (NES)
16. Blaster Master (NES)
15. Bionic Commando (NES)
14. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES)

Group 3 (4 votes each)

13. The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES)
12. Mega Man 2 (NES)
11. Super Metroid (SNES)
10. Metroid (NES)
