I found this, and felt it had to be shared...
A is Atari, the first on the scene. B is Bits, be they 8 or 16. C for Controller Cords stretched ‘cross the floor. D for the Dreamcast, a console no more. E is Ecco, the porpoise-y sea hero. F is for Fantasies Final… Look, chocobos! G is for Genesis, 16-bit mirth. H is for Hyrule, land of Link’s birth. I is for Infocom’s text-based frivoloties J is for John Carmack’s first-person novelties. K for Konami’s dark vampire tales. L for the Lemmings who march without fail. M is for Mario. Run, goombas, run! N for Nintendo, the first name is fun. O is for Oddworld, with games strage and clever. P is for Pac-Man, who caused quite a fever. Q is for Q-Bert’s curse-filled speech bubble. R is for Ridley, who gave Samus trouble. S is for Sonic, his fleet feet reknowned. T is for Tetris blocks falling in mounds. U is for Ulala’s fast, funky feet. V is for Video cards, fast obsolete. W for Wizardry; through dungeons we’d scurry. X for the Xbox, as big as Missouri. Y is for Yoshi, a plumber’s best friend. Z is for Zelda, and here this rhyme ends

It lost it in places but not the worst thing ever.
And Oddworld! They were supposed to make a quintet of those games but I think they either weren't made or were lost to obscurity. But Abe's Oddyssey and Exodus are gaming classics that should be enjoyed by all.
"Follow me!"

Oddyssey and Exoddus were incredible games. Although the original plan was a quartet of Oddworld games, all featuring different protagonists; they just changed it to add in an 'extra' game after each release, since they wanted to give Abe a second outing. Munch's Oddyssey was released on the original X-Box, along with another called Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, but I don't know anyone who's played them, lol.

I heard of a gabe like Populous: The Beginning, a kind of God-sim where you choose between a Mudoken tribe (preserve the river, etc) or a cartel of Glukkons (dump waste in the rivers). I saw a screenshot once.
