    Just one thing for this month so far. This has been in the works and planning stages for months but only just last month did everything get finalized and now I finally have it here...

    The button on the lower right side is a mechanical button that switches the controller between 2600 2-btn & SMS 2 btn mode and 7800 2-btn mode. So the controller is designed to work on 3 different consoles to full capacity. The pause button is also wired up so that any console I modify internally using a simple logic gate circuit can have the console remotely paused. This is mainly for the SMS games. Many SMS games use the pause button on the console as a 3rd button to access inventory or stats in games. With that pause button being on the console itself, it isn't exactly ideal to have to get up each time I want to access that pause. But it can also be added to a 7800 as well pretty easily. 
    The controller is using arcade level components and not the clones. In my case I opted for silent switches because all my other controllers have clicky switches and at night, it can be annoying when I want to play in low volume conditions.

    Mid era made 7800s don't work with the game unless you disable the extra timing circuit on the 7800 first. But doing that will then break 2600 Dark Chambers and 2600 Kung Fu master from working. So I guess Activision felt it was better to add that sticker on later made copies of the game so they didn't have to field support calls on why the game didn't work in a customer's 7800. Again, it only really effects those 7800s with the extra timing circuit. But consumers had no way of knowing if that was in their 7800 or not, so this was the best way to avoid it.

    Yes! I’ve been after the Stargunner manual for quite some time. I have most of the manuals for my collection of carts. Some of the manuals are just as the cool as the games themselves.

    Dragon's Crown is easily in one of my top 5 for the Playstation in general. I didn't include it because there is the superior remake/release for it on the PS4. 
     
    @socrates63 I actually do own Puppeteer but have yet to play it. Although I'm pretty sure my oldest son played through the game once. Is it a really cool game?

    3D Dot Game Heroes is an excellent choice!
    I will add that the Uncharted games are another excellent choice. But do you list those separately taking up 3 spots in that top ten or as one? 
    Fallout: New Vegas (Once patched up it was my favorite of the Fall out games by far)
    I liked the Infamous games on the PS3 but didn't play the one for PS4
    Ni No Kuni:Wrath of the white witch
     
    Not a top ten per se, but those are some I plan to keep that I might not have a better way of playing elsewhere currently.
