I always championed Samurai Ghost, since I felt it was under-appreciated...but I think it has gotten some deserved recognition.
I don't know if it is a Top 25, but it certainly is a game I find endearing (the defense/offense mechanics are more complex than folks realize...a running parry is possible, for example).
Not perfect, but it doesn't matter, since it is such a odd bird. The kind of quirky game I love.

You misspelled "Impossamole". I wouldn't rank it that high myself...

Since we're talking about 3% of the library, there's no point in ranking them and I don't believe in absolutes.
So here are 25 of the best.
Tengai Makyou Fuun Kabuki Den
Tengai Makyou II Manjimaru
Ys I & II
Ys IV
Legend of Xanadu
Legend of Xanadu II

Yeah, I should have clarified: Impossamole is one of the 25 Best PCE/TG-16 games to prominently feature arpeggios.

Those lists are worthy of a look!
Of course, the only title that is suspect is Energy, but I recall when it had its 15 minutes of love.
If ever there was a game that needed some hacks/tweaks to improve the experience, it would be Energy.
