* Super Mario Bros. - the official Guinness Book of World Records record holder for best-selling game, at over 40 million copies sold, although it was sold packaged with the NES. [1]
* The Sims - the best selling PC game, having sold over 8 million units alone and 24 million counting expansion packs. [2]
* The Mario game series - the top-selling game series, with over 153 million games sold in total. [3]
* Myst - the top-selling game of the 1990s before The Sims, selling over 6 million copies and boosting the popularity of the adventure game genre (and the CD-ROM).
* Pokémon Red, Blue and Green - These three games have sold approximately 30 million copies, making them the best-selling RPG. While they may hold different titles, the games differ only in the fact that the Pokémon available in Red differs only very slightly from those in Blue and Green. The American versions (Red and Blue) are based off of the Japanese version of Pokémon Blue, which features better graphics and different dungeon layouts and was released after Red and Green.

A bestseller list will necessarily exclude non-commercial games, and games such as Minesweeper and Solitaire which are present on more than 200 million desktop PCs as part of Microsoft Windows [4].
