A Favorite Game From Every Year I've Been Alive

Thought this was a really fun idea and lord knows I'm not creative to come up with stuff like this on my own. I set an arbitrary rule that I could include re-releases that were "definitive" in that they added some amount of substantial content to the base game, but could not include basic rereleases/remasters if they were close enough to the original. Was this implemented just so I had an excuse to squeeze more of my favorites onto the list? Perhaps!
