This'll help as you read this. I don't mean to offend anyone at all who likes these games. I just don't like them, it doesn't mean they need to be bad in your eyes!
Now I don't want to upset anyone, but Zelda and Metroid aren't my favorites. They're not the worst, but you either need to kill your controllers (My old original DS collects dust all because of Hunters) and wander around pointlessly for weeks, or accept that you'll never figure out how to beat the game... Maybe my mind isn't set for those games.
To add to that, sports games and the like also deserve to be low on the list. They're
hard (You need to have the whole year's roster memorized to win or pull some strings in custom teams) and no game genre deserves to be that
hard except games you are warned about being
hard (such as Gran Turismo. I just fiddle around with cheats instead of play it. Not like other games that don't feel right when you cheat). If you want me to play sports games, fine. Atari Basketball and Activision Skiing are all the sports I need.
Atari's version of Pac-Man gives me a headache, but it's strangely addictive. I question why I still play it.
Like others have said, all Crash and Spyro games after Sony lost the rights (All games after the PS1 wasn't important to them) are just polished crap... The old games were fun! Sierra, you used to be cool, but after throwing out all your good franchises and started selling polished crap, you're no longer a company I like. You made many games that made me happy to choose your brand, and now I feel betrayed.

I FULLY AGREE. Elebits is
ing hard, dumb, and nonsensical. I once described it as a game that feels exactly the same as doing this exactly the same amount of time you would play the game:
I also have a bombshell that could do to the ESRB what Night Trap did to Sega's VRC. I'm in the age group that can buy Destroy All Humans 2 (It's old, but still.), but not in the one that can buy any Halo games. Let me tell you something, ESRB. One minute of a Destroy All Humans cinematic is more mentally destructive than a lifetime of Halo... wait, that's an understatement, an accurate statement would be that it's more mentally destructive than a lifetime of chainsawing in Gears of War WITH extreme content. I still play Destroy All Humans! 2 just so I can blow stuff up, not for its double (not triple, that's GTA) X cinematics.
