English960 --
You are couting your Burger King games twice, once for the XB and once for the 360. Other than that it looks in order. Oh, and you have a game called Wargasm -- have you played it (just curious as to what it's all about).
You'll be on the next leaderboard. Star Trek seems to be a thing for you and wrestling games. Talk about that a little, like the differences between the NES and PC vresion of ST:25th Anniversary. I'm always intrigued by games that were released for the PC and the NES.

Sorry It took me so long to write back, but my job has been pretty busy as of late and I haven't had much of a chance to respond. As for the Burger King games, I corrected the error on my count and it should all be good now. The reason was when I got them, I just had an Xbox, but later got a 360 and must have recounted them in the 360 search.
As for Wargasm, it was an odd game that I have virtually no memory of. I received it for free as pre-release hype when I worked for an electronics retailer. They gave it out to us for listening how the Intel Celeron processor was better than the AMD K6, which was a total lie. I played it under an hour, and removed it from my system because it was a hard drive hog. But all this makes me want to dig it out and play it.
I am very big on the Star Trek games and the wrestling ones, but without ever really noticing it until the list was compiled. My notable influences come from the original PC Star Trek and N64 No Mercy. The PC Star Trek game was the first of two I purchased when I bought my Packard Bell 486-33SX computer from Sears. I also picked up MS Flight Simulator. I was blown away by the graphics and the gameplay. It was one of my earliest recollections of feeling like it was more than a game, like being a part of the series. The NES version I picked up recently, and I don't think the port does the PC game any justice. A good follow-up to that game, if you enjoy that title, was ST: Judgment Rites. Other than Starfleet Command for PC, I have no real fondness for any of the ST titles.
As for wrestling, little needs to be said, nor is there anything I can say that hasn't been said, about the sheer awesomeness of No Mercy. It playability, story mode, and customization were unparalleled at that time. It is still a fun title to play now, if you can pick it up. Great for weekend nights (and weekday nights) in college with fine beverages a-plenty. The only other games I truly have an allegiance to for wrestling are the Smackdown and Smackdown vs. Raw series published by Yukes. They are still fun to play, but its lack of evolution, and my downturn of interest in wrestling, have rendered me less interested in picking up future titles at full next-gen price.
BTW: I am excited about my latest addition, a Turbografix-16. Any suggestions on must haves or rarity titles I should keep an eye out for? Well, I hope I bored everyone enough out there. Take care my fellow brothers and sisters of the Union!
