Lots of games I've played in this match-up!

CopperTom vs. JammerXCI
CopperTom
Angry Birds (iOS, others) Super Mario Bros. (NES) Tecmo Bowl (NES) Borderlands 2 (PS3)
Jammer XCI Pokemon Blue (GBC) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2) Shadow of the Colossus (PS2 or PS4?) Sim City 2000 (PC)
Angry Birds is a sneaky-good pick. A mindless mobile game that millions and millions of people play (including kids and moms) that's actually good. Mario Bros. and Tecmo are solid picks BUT for me they serve the same purpose and stand out for the same reasons: foundational games in a genre (platforming, sports) that every future game in the genre leans on. MB has more replayability, even now. Borderlands 2--also a great pick! Consistently challenging and fun, and I loved how each DLC pack changed the way the game plays a bit.
What stands out on Jammer's team for me, unfortunately, is Shadow of the Colossus. Sorry, guys: I only got to the 2nd boss and then put this game fown for good. These other games, though, good stuff: i tried playing San Andreas on PS3 recently and the game world feels empty and bland but it doesn't always play that way; the missions can be very exciting and fun, and can be challenging. Just follow the damn train, CJ! Great memories of it as a college game. I was never big into Pokemon but played a good amount of my brother's, and you can instantly see how it's so addictive. Simcity 2000 also super fun, but I was never super into it--good for half an hour of fun jere and there, but my attention would always drift to other games.
Really want to play God of War, and I will at some point I'm sure, but none of the other never-playeds here really stick out to me. CopperTom!

CopperTom: Breath of the Wild is awesome, though I rarely get to play because its my partner's save. God of War is a good modern pick, going by the reviews. Angry Birds and World of Warcraft are excellent "important for gaming history" picks Super Mario Bros. is wonderful, of course. And I'm a huge fan of Borderlands 2, though I might not have picked it for this tournament.
Jammer: I've never been into Pokemon, but am reliably informed that Blue is perhaps the best. I'm not that into GTA. Majora's Mask is very good. Tony Hawks games all blur into one for me, but it's a good blur. Sim City 2000 is great.
Ultimately, too many on Jammer's team that I haven't played and haven't seen/noticed in the cloud of "best games" type discussion online.

Despite the fact that he whined to the contest administrator and has no idea what a port is, pretty easy vote for CT.
Breath of the Wild, Angry Birds, World of Warcraft, Super Mario Bros., Tecmo Bowl and Pikmin are all games that I played the hell out of.
Majora's Mask is actually one of my least favorite Zeldas and I've always REALLY disliked the GTA franchise. But I do like Pokemon Blue, Crash Bandicoot 2 and Silent Hill.

CopperTom:
If I were to buy a console from this current generation, it would be a Switch and Breath of the Wild is a big reason why. Super Mario Bros is a legend of course, even if subsequent games have improved upon it. I don't think I've played anything else from his team, but I'm familiar enough with games' reputations to declare it a well rounded collection.
Jammer's set has a lot of personality, leaning heavily on his personal favorites. I've enjoyed a couple GTA games, but never played this one. Tony Hawk was hella fun, so that's a plus. I want so badly to play Shadow of the Colossus, along with Ico, and The Last Guardian. I love the atmosphere they have.
