Best video game ever made

[thomasboleyn]

Final Fantasy 7, or Baldur's gate 2. LOVED both of them. FF7 ruled my summer in '97.

[RATM_Owns]

Earthbound

[adam_kimber]

Baldur's gate 2.

Both 1 and 2 ruined, I meaned took over ;) my life! I think that Mass Effect comes close to this!

[medic2000]

BG1 and BG2, Starcraft, Grim Fandango, Half-Life 1, Vampire Bloodlines.

[thomasboleyn]

I played BG2 again recently, with loads of mods and extra npc's and stuff, it was really enjoyable. I also played BG1 using the BG2 engine using something called 'Tutu', which was really good.

As for FF, I've played them all since 7, with the exception of 9, has anyone played it?

I might add Diablo 2.

Heh, that's not exactly what I meant by oldschool. I was talking along the lines of an 8088 with top-of-the-line EGA graphics.

[tom66]

E.T.

That 1980's video game sure was great. So great Atari had to bury a million cartridges in the New Mexico desert.

[brokenreality]

Bolo, Scarab of Ra, Oregon Trail, Might & Magic (first one), Where in the world is carmen sandiego (original one).

[jomiolto]

No one's mentioned Ultima Underworld yet? That was an absolutely brilliant game and so much ahead of its time...

[Jengajam2]

Sonic the Hedgehog 1-3 and Sonic and Knuckles. Classics

[MysticEdge]

Really it's Street Fighter 2 if we're all honest. Turbo that is. It's timeless. A classic pure videogaming experience that will never age. Gawd bless SDLMame!

Notable Point of Interest...

Street Fighter 2 is why my nose is a little bit crooked. That and an older sister who didn't take the sportsman-like approach to losing.

The Best Game Ever Made...

Human Experience

I mean, c'mon guys, it was designed anywhere from 6000 to several billion years ago, and the graphics STILL amaze me.

It's completely multi-platform, the story-line starts out a little bit linear but after you level up and get further into the game it's completely free-form as far as character development and storyline pioneering.

The soundtrack is a little bit lacking as far as consistency goes, I admit.

Also the controls and gameplay are a bit difficult to understand at times,

All in all though, a very well-made game, in my opinion at least.

For a second there I thought you were reffering to a computer game :)

[wolfen69]

Pong!

[Mason Whitaker]

Half Life 2 + Garry's Mod

Not technically a video game, but its a great way to kill time and have hours of fun if you're bored. Launching Cinder Blocks out of a garbage can at Gman player models is always fun!

[Woormy]

Tomb Raider 2 was just visually beautiful. One of the few games that understood how to compliment warm and cold colors.

[blackened]

...Where in the world is carmen sandiego (original one)...

OMG, I had forgotten that one. Great game.

[KyTiXx]

What about second life? Its completely brilliant in complexity and marketing has used for measuring the market on certain items.

[CJ Master]

Has everybody forgotten the old classics: Superman 64, ET, and You have to burn the rope?

Geeze guys, wheres your tastes? :)

[isaacj87]

Probably already been mentioned but...

Max Payne. Great story, great gameplay, great game.

[doorknob60]

Banjo-Tooie and Banjo-Kazooie :-) (Not the new one for 360) EDIT: Looks like I already posted that a few months ago, oops :-P

[BOBSONATOR]

BEST GAME EVER

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickstyle

[mrgnash]

My vote goes to The Elder Scrolls III Morowind

graphics, and scenery are nice, game play is good, replay value is ridiculous

My vote has to be the same :)

I also really enjoyed Oblivion, and it made some nice advances in the graphical and gameplay departments, but the story and setting took a step backward (at least in the main campaign). I've yet to play Fallout 3, but that looks really good as well.


What about second life? Its completely brilliant in complexity and marketing has used for measuring the market on certain items.

It's not a game, it's a glorified chat room -- to an even worse extent than something like World of Warcraft.

[bruce89]

I rather like FreeSpace 2 actually (I use FSO before you tell me).

[spupy]

Why is this thread still going? I though religious topics are forbidden in the Cafe? :)

Erm..., I vote for nethack - it tops my charts!

[sharks]

Max Payne series....

[thedevnull]

My vote goes to The Elder Scrolls III Morowind

graphics, and scenery are nice, game play is good, replay value is ridiculous

Duke Nukem Forever, oh wait that happens in the FUTURE... XD I have to admit though that Duke Nukem 3d is one of the best games EVER! LOVE IT!

[Game_boy]

Metroid Prime.

But it was close between that, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy and the N64 Paper Mario.

[ExpatPaul]

Manic Miner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manic_Miner), because I'm old

[docinsano]

Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES and not the All Stars version. Reason: This game made the most awesome improvements in a game ever. The powerups, the gameplay, the music, the graphics. Everything was great. I don't think I've seen a game that has made leaps and bounds like SMB 3. If there was one, I missed it. Plus I'm an old school gamer, so call me biased.

[Compucore]

For me it was tron 2.0 for the PC and Tron 2.0 Killer apps under the Xbox console over here. Based on the movie way back in 82. I always loved the game due to it's unique idea of going inside the computer system itself. Too bad the game never got converted over to ubuntu linux. And they don't have the source code aailable to do so. It would have been nuce to worked on that in linux.

Compucore

[linuxguymarshall]

My favourite games countdown :


5.Age of Mythology
4.Age of Empires III
3.The Hitman Series
2.The Legend of Zelda Series
1.The DOOM Series

[rajeev1204]

Did anyone mention the need for speed series?

But i would say my all time favourite is hexen 2 for the sheer creativity and mix of medieval, egyptian etc storyline and coupled with some stunning artwork and language used(especially in the egypt episode),i still play it and it still warms my eyes just looking at the artwork in the game.


I love quake 4 too ofcourse.




regards

rajeev.

[blithen]

Zelda: A Link to the Past.
EPIC game. I've played this at least 50+ times and it never gets old.

[Swagman]

Looks like mips was an Amigan.

Can't believe I got right near to the end of this thread before someone mentioned Elite.

Now if David Braben could revamp the game to take advantage of todays graphics, add some missions ala Freespace style and when you land on a planet you could get involved in Metal Gear Solid style ground events.

Uber game. And don't forget the net attraction.

[scragar]

Zelda: A Link to the Past.
EPIC game. I've played this at least 50+ times and it never gets old.

You got all 20 hearts and half magic, right? I love this game, every so often I pick it up again and figure I'll put some stupid limit on playing it, just to make it harder(like no sword upgrades after mastersword, that's a tough one, shame it has no effect on the fight with gannon(what's with that fight, I wanted to make it harder, but he still never hurt me :(), or, my personal favourite, no boomerang, it's amazing how much harder this makes the game). Just last week I completed it again without picking up any heart fragments, whole hearts only, by the end of the game I had I think it's 14 hearts(3 to begin, 1 from the sanctuary, 3 from the pendants, 7 from the maidens), didn't make it as hard as I hoped it would really.

[oldTXskool]

A few of my favourites in no particular order :D

Frontier: Elite II (Free and runs through DosBox)
Magic Carpet II
SFII
Mortal Combat (Spent lots of cash in the arcades on that one)
Halo I (Multiplayer through xbconnect / xlink kai was amazing)
Micro Machines
Ghost Recon
DOOM
Super Smash TV
North and South

etc etc soo many good ones over the years.

[thestig_992]

fav game at the moment is little big planet, cause i just found out u can play tetris in it XD

Favorite seriers is probs guitar hero

[ZuLuuuuuu]

Starcraft + 1

[Tomatz]

Up until last week i would have said DOOM (the original) but now i have purchased left4dead i have changed my mind.

It is a top game where you have to work as a team just to survive. IMO no other game (fps) has successfully gotten strangers to work as a team ;)


Kudos to valve! If you have £26.99 free, go buy it NOW!

[mips]

IMO no other game (fps) has successfully gotten strangers to work as a team ;)


I believe you there. I hate how my 'team mates' camp or hang back in CS:S while I inflict damage on another opponent and they hop in at the last minute or when I'm dead for the kill shot or knife with no ill effect to their healt status.

Not very sporting but I have on the odd occasion shot at my own camper mates so their health drops. I'm a bit tire of this Me, Myself & I attitude while I try and help whoever is in the poo :)

[Tomatz]

Exactly how i am.

That's why l4d is such a good game. If you go on your own little "fragfest" your dead in seconds ;)

[CrazyArcher]

UT series

[thegreenblob]

Prince of Persia (Tie Between Sands of Time and The Two Thrones)
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Legend of the Red Dragon
Super Metroid
Halo 3 (For multi-player, single player isn't that good IMO)
Super Mario 64
Mega Man X

In that order. :)

[billgoldberg]

My vote goes to The Elder Scrolls III Morowind

graphics, and scenery are nice, game play is good, replay value is ridiculous

Hmm, hard to say.

RPG: Final Fantasy VII,VIII or X, Chrono Trigger

Fight games: Tekken 3 and V

FPS: Half Life 2, Counterstrike 1.6 and Counterstrike Source, CoD4

RTS: Age of Empires I and II, Command and Conquer Red Alert I and II

Platform games: Super Mario Bros I and III, Rayman, Crash Bandicoot

Racing: Gran Tourismo II



If I had to pick one out of the games that I listed, it would be Final Fantasy X.

VII and VIII were damn good, but FF X is just pure epicness.

The graphics were the best ever seen on the PS2, the story line was superb, the cut scenes were stunning. The gameplay was amazing.

I had finally beaten the game after 200+ hours. By beaten I mean defeated all enemies (not just the weak end boss, but the hidden uber bosses).

X-2 wasn't as good, mostly because Tidus was gone and so were the Aeons, but it was still pretty good. It started off a bit weak, but after you finished the game and figured out you can go down 100 levels in some dungeons to get to the superbosses all hell breaks loose.

[Maupertus]

Has to be Baldur's Gate. Part 1 is great for my introduction into RPG, Part 2 is just a awesome game I still install once in a while.

The game that gave me the biggest WTF moments is: Planescape: Torment. :D God I love that game.

[KIAaze]

Not necessarily the best, but for those that don't know it:
Cave Story / Doukutsu Monogatari: http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/

[kaldor]

Quake II, Quake III: Arena, and Jedi Academy.

[Eisenwinter]

Doom

[christian8807]

Suikoden II.

[hunterGT]

I'm a series kind of guy, the best games usually end up a series. That's what I love about games like Halo, Half Life 2, and even The Elder Scrolls. A more in depth story draws you into the game. Each of these series has a reputation that could go a long way.

Unfortunately I cannot give a hand to Fallout yet, becuase it took Bethesda to get their hands on it before the series became an worthwhile game. But I can see the Fallout series either going a long way, or the whole "Fallout" or Nuclear War theme games to be the next generation fad.

[spcwingo]

My vote goes to Dungeon Keeper 2. I used to stay glued to my PC for hours with that one. :)

[timcredible]

i'll go with robotron 2084 for old timer games, and resident evil 4 for new stuff.

[Namtabmai]

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/1371/deusextv1.th.jpg (http://img178.imageshack.us/my.php?image=deusextv1.jpg)

I had this as my wallpaper at work, two days later a guy was telling me how much fun he was having replaying.

[Polygon]

mirrors edge is pretty high up there, while the story needs some work, the game is BEAUTIFUL, and the core gameplay is spectacular. Not to mention the concept is original in a day and age where we see so many sequels (call of duty 4, super smash bros, halo 3, etc etc)

[shatteredmindofbob]

Deus Ex

[etnlIcarus]

To the people listing Super Metroid over the last couple of pages, I have to ask: where's the Metroid Fusion love? Didn't have a GBA?

[RPG Master]

Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy VI as a close second.

[PoopyTheJ]

Deus Ex as has already been mentioned, by far the best game I've ever played.

[swoll1980]

Everytime I think this thread is dead it comes back to life a month or so later

[infestor]

Diablo II & Heroes of Might and Magic III
although i only played it twice, Grim Fandango & Sanitarium really amazing (in atmosphere)

[Onesimus]

Best video game ever made has to be Jet Set Willy

[Lightstar]

Katamari Damacy >.>

I love those weird games, but on a more serious note..

Okami really grew on me, I love that game.
and the Final Fantasy games, especially VII and VIII.

Edit:
Adding Mario Kart, I loved them all, and Uniracer was good on the SNES, but it wasn't known enough.

[brunolabs]

Diablo (series)
GTA (series)

:P

[Isengrin]

I'd tie Chrono Trigger and Seiken Densetsu III.

[sudoer541]

I love Super Mario!
I like NEW Super Mario Bros, Wii Super Mario Galaxy, 2 and old Zelda games.

[NCLI]

Best Ever?

Well, the Metal Gear Solid series is definitely close to the top for me, followed by Final Fantasy VIII, Chrono Trigger, then FF VII and IX, fl0wer, Medievil, Grand Theft Auto: SA, Zone of the Enders II, and finally the Star Ocean series.

Oh, and Okami gets the number 11 spot :)

[PuddingKnife]

mario kart esp. the wii incarnation -- online play is spectacular

[chrisw92]

tetris!

although the GTA games are good.

[Gizenshya]

There are a lot of very good games. Most of which have been mentioned here.

But there are only a select few that I call great. And Best of those... it is hard to say. I'll have to split it into categories because it is like comparing apples and oranges.. I can't decide.

RPG: TES III: Morrowind (PC) easily
Honorable mentions: Zelda (original one, NES), TES IV: Oblivion (PC), Fallout 3 (PC)

RTS: Tie between Starcraft (PC) and Total Annihilation (PC) (The later of which also has the best music in a video game. Ever. /story)
Honorable mentions: Dune 2000 (PC), Red Alert (original, PC)

Action: Tie between Battletoads (NES) and Battletoads (Sega Genesis)

Fishing: Tie between The Blue Marlin (NES) and The Black Bass (NES)

FPS: Goldeneye (64)
Honorable mentions: Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (N64), Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion (N64), Halo (original, XBOX). These are easily second to Goldeneye, but there is a huge gap between these and any other FPS games. In addition, Halo is the only game in the Halo series that has a campaign mode that is worth playing... and not only that, it is amazing.

Racing: Mario Kart (N64)

[dragonboss]

Jet Set Radio Future anyone?

[murderslastcrow]

Devil May Cry (series), despite 2. 3 and 4 more than made up for it.

[HappinessNow]

American McGee's Alice!

[chris200x9]

civ 4

[Psumi]

Thousand Arms, the first dating sim RPG to hit stateside on a mainstream console.

[Mornedhel]

RTS: Tie between Starcraft (PC) and Total Annihilation (PC) (The later of which also has the best music in a video game. Ever. /story)
Honorable mentions: Dune 2000 (PC), Red Alert (original, PC)

Bah.

If you think there's a tie between Starcraft and TA for the #1, surely you haven't played the Spring remakes of TA.

As far as honorable mentions go, I'd put Dune II before Dune 2000 (yeah, the interface sucked compared to modern games, but hey, points for age). All later Westwood RTS games were just rehashes with different unit sets and the ability to select multiple units.

[lzfy]

Mafia : )
The best game I have played and the only game I played more then once.

[Crunchy the Headcrab]

Some of my favorites are:

Half-Life 1 (not the others. the combine are boring enemies)
Morrowind
StarCraft
Civilization (all)
Metal Gear Solid 1
Wing Commander (all)
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy Tactics (original playstation)
Rainbow Six (back when it was more sim-like)

[knepig91]

Soul reaver 1 for playstation.
Awesome story and most of all the music. It made the game x1000 better then i already was.

[SirKablaam]

My vote goes to The Elder Scrolls III Morowind

graphics, and scenery are nice, game play is good, replay value is ridiculousYES! absolutely one of the greatest games ever made! I keep on making new and more characters just to play it from the start. Oblivion was also fantastic. Bethesda is quite possibly the greatest RPG developers of all time, hands down no doubt about it. BioWare is also amazing, KOTOR, DragonAge, Jade Empire. Makes me wanna squeal like a lil schoolgirl when they release new games :P

Morrowind was great. Oblivion was lame without mods.

What I liked about Morrowind was that you could do anything, even stuff that made it so that you couldn't win the game. I killed Vivec, and that King guy in Mournhold, I can't remember his name.

[afroman10496]

All of Castlevania, EarthBound, and Pokemon and Super Mario games.

[ElSlunko]

Fallout 3 is one of the best for sure.

[knepig91]

All of Castlevania, EarthBound, and Pokemon and Super Mario games.

Castlevaina is really nice. Just completed castlevaina symphony of the night(ps) and castlevaina 4(super nintendo)

I'm an xbox player so I get no custom mods :( My favorite part of the game is where you had to cure your corpisism(?). I killed a Corpse so I couldn't get the potion, so I went up and attacked the guy XD all of my gear got destroyed in an epic battle, after about 3 days (in real life) of hand to hand I finally killed him. I went to go loot his body, no potion D: The one thing about Morrowind is sometimes when you went into that crab palace thing, you'd instantly died >.>

[ghostrider117]

diablo 1 hads down it my be old school but i like it

[afroman10496]

Oh yeah GTA series for sure

[fillintheblanks]

mafia FTW!

works great in wine too

[shadow of the locust]

chuckie egg 2, paperboy, attic attack and spyhunter on the spectrum.

[jeyaganesh]

Metal Gear Solid 4 and GTA 4

[JDShu]

wow.. best of the best? There are so many great games...

I think Starcraft can be considered one of, if not the best game I've ever played though. Funny thing is, when it first came out I hated it. But what makes is so impressive is not really what Blizzard has done (besides their amazing support and patching) but what players have done with the game. Who would have thought that an old RTS could be so deep.

[Exodist]

My vote goes to Ultima Online.
By todays standards it has cruddy graphics but for it to still last its got legacy.
Also many games try to imitate it, but non fully grasp the fun UO provided back in the day.

[afroman10496]

super sash bros. series definately

[Gizenshya]

Bah.

If you think there's a tie between Starcraft and TA for the #1, surely you haven't played the Spring remakes of TA.

I haven't played many of the games mentioned in this thread-- even some of the well-known ones. I've heard of Spring, but I've never played it, so I can't really comment.

I didn't mention it because I forgot what it was called, but there was a Dune for Sega that I played and liked more than Dune 2000. Perhaps it was Dune II? It was the only console-based RTS I've really liked. It was actually the game that got me into RTS games. I'm still an addict :)

Supreme Commander was a huge letdown (including Forged Alliance). From what I've read about Starcraft 2, it is going to be at least as much of a let down. Starcraft is a part of Korean culture now... I just can't see them giving it up without a fight. They might have a chance if they don't screw with the LAN support.

[ElSlunko]

Ah Yes, UO. Best MMORPG ever!

[Exodist]

Ah Yes, UO. Best MMORPG ever!
I really miss the days when it first came out. It was so fun to PvP and take someone loot, house and boat if you found them. LOL

[Starlight]

Final Fantasy VII, the Fallout series, Earthbound series, The Longest Journey and its sequel Dreamfall, Septerra Core, both Little Big Adventure games, and Planescape: Torment seems good, I'm playing it now.

[Grenage]

Monkey Island or Out of this World. Probably the former.

[madnessjack]

Doom. Still is my favorite game (well, it's modern source-ports at least :P).

[caravel]

Planescape: Torment

Very good game.

For me it's Shogun - Total War. It's the one and only reason why I miss Windows sometimes.

+1 on the fallout 1 and 2 votes (no, not fallout 3, thats just not fallout IMO)

UFO- Enemy Unknown- aka 'X-com: UFO defense' (US) or 'X-com: Enemy Unknown'

[yester64]

Fallout 1,2&3
Mario
Metal Gear Solid
Resident Evil
Monkey Island

actually, i have to many to be listed.
as the one truely best i consider Super Mario. Truly a masterpeace.

Out of this World - Super NES, hands down.

I love speed

[Ozor Mox]

I'm going to go with the Civilization series. If I had to single one game out, it would probably be II.

[p_quarles]

I have to agree with the people who said the Civilization series. I love me some first-person action games (playing through both Half-Life 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 right now), but Civ has been at the top of my rotation since the first one came out in the early 90s. The basic concept promises endless replayability, and each implementation has added fascinating new elements. The Beyond the Sword expansion for Civ IV is almost inexhaustible.

Oh damn I loved that game in high school. Kinda makes me wish I had a PS3 so I could relive it. Oh well; I like my Xbox.

[swoll1980]

I have to add Dragon Age to this. This is my new favorite as of right now. It has great acting, characters, story line, and excellent graphics.

[sandyd]

starcraft 2. period. sorry, im addicted... and im also one of the people commiting patches into wine to make it work, so...... also bioshock and gta 4

[BenAshton24]

Tetris.

[Khakilang]

Pac man, Donkey Kong and Super Mario.

[NightwishFan]

I used to like Starcraft 1, simply because it was the most difficult game I have ever played at tournament level.

My favorite game is: Arcanum, Of Steamworks and Magicks Obscura by Troika. It had such amazing game play and an unsurpassed storyline. It also runs in Wine. :p

[|{urse]

Halo, the only thing microsoft ever made worth playing.

[Toddus]

Starcraft hands down.

Its the most strategic, hardest, best balanced RTS ever made.

Its harder than chess. You can't even compete on a tournament level unless you can even do 200 actions per minute. The micro macro aspects of the game are amazing.

[d3v1150m471c]

Oblivion

What about Warcraft. Aren't they from the same company?

the mrs bought me this for christmas, but i haven't had much of a chance to play it, it was pretty impressive from what i played.

as for favourite games, i'm an rpg kind of guy.. in no particular order, i love


final fantasy series (pretty much all of them except x-2 & 11 which i haven't played, or 13 which i haven't played yet. favourites would be ff7 & ff10. 12 was great too)
ff tactics
chrono trigger (chrono cross was good too too, though it didn't match trigger)
tes: morrowind (got oblivion last year but haven't played it enough to comment)
star wars kotor 1&2
breath of fire series (3 on the ps was great. 4 had a better battle system but i think apart from that 3 was better)
wild arms series
shining force 2 (never played the others)
fallout 3
dark cloud 2
vagrant story


of the non rpgs, these would be my favs

civ series
championship manager 97/98 - the rest were good, but just didn't match the adictiveness of 97/98, nor the awsomeness of robbie keane ands neil lennon
tekken 3
gran turismo 2
gta vice city
fifa road to worldcup 98
pro evo series
super street fighter 2 turbo
pirates!
tiger woods series



hard to choose, but them all, if i was told i could only ever play one more game before i die, i'd choose ff7. provided i had about a month to play it of course

[renzokuken]

amen !

[forrestcupp]

I originally said Legend of Blacksilver on the C64.

But now I would have to say LOZ: Ocarina of Time, closely followed by Twilight Princess.

[tuddy666]

Pokémon Gold and Silver, my favourite instalment (generation) of the Pokémon series as a whole. Sure, later generations have further enhanced the gameplay, but there's just something about generation 2 of the Pokémon games that feels "timeless" to me. Probably the aesthetics in general - the chiptune music and graphics are great, certainly some of the best on the Game Boy. The gameplay itself is also fun, probably one of the best implementations of the basic formula of Pokémon.

In other words, it's refreshing in its simplicity, and an absolute joy to play, even now.

[Tristam Green]

12 was great too


I just vomited in my mouth a little. That abomination should be stricken from Square Enix's records.

[richs-lxh]

Old but still cool:

Driving: Need For Speed - Most Wanted
Shoot 'em 'up:
Multiplayer Linux Online: Urban Terror
Multiplayer Console: Goldeneye N64
Role Play:
Online and Offline: Dungeon Keeper II

[Post Monkeh]

I just vomited in my mouth a little. That abomination should be stricken from Square Enix's records.

:D

you think so?

the storyline wasn't great, but i really liked the battle system, and the fact that i could use the gambits to do my grinding for me while i went and did something interesting. and i guess vaan was pretty annoying, but most of the title characters in the recent ff games are.

[Tristam Green]

gambits...RAAAAAAAAAAAGE

[Post Monkeh]

gambits...RAAAAAAAAAAAGE

i hope they're still around in 13 :D

edit: they're not, that'll be you happy then.

ps the gambits were AWESOME :popcorn:

[Chame_Wizard]

Golden Sun
Final Fantasy 7:popcorn:

[Pogeymanz]

Ew. Golden Sun annoyed me with how many random encounters there were. Otherwise, it was very interesting game play.

FF7 is great, FF Tactics is great but with a huge learning curve (then it's too easy after the hump).

Pokemon Gold/Silver were pretty awesome. It was like Red/Blue without the utter brokenness.

[tuddy666]

Pokemon Gold/Silver were pretty awesome. It was like Red/Blue without the utter brokenness.

That is exactly why I like it. None of the annoying metagame rubbish like natures, and at least the type chart is somewhat balanced.

[swoll1980]

I originally said Legend of Blacksilver on the C64.

But now I would have to say LOZ: Ocarina of Time, closely followed by Twilight Princess.

I just bought Twilight Princess. 4 years later they still want $30 for it at the used game stores. I just found out I can put Game Cube games in the kid's Wii

[cespinal]

Ocarina of time. Mario Bros 3. Halo

[Objekt]

Probably the X-wing Collection (okay, technically that's several games). They would look horrible on my current monitor, if I could even get them to run, which I can't since they're DOS games. But man were they fun!

I've been hoping for years that Lucasarts or someone would release updated sequels, taking advantage of the advances in graphics & sound since the 1990's. Doesn't look like it's going to happen. The most modern Star Wars sim is X-Wing Alliance, which can be made to run on Windows XP with a little tweaking. Some folks are working on a graphical upgrade to it (X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Project), and I understand there are still multiplayer servers for it, though I haven't tried that part.

[kellemes]

Loderunner
Played it on my Apple IIe mostly 24 hours a day.

Dosbox.

[tribaal]

The elder scrolls II: Daggerfall wins hands down.

Save for the graphics, it has the biggest replay value ever (pretty much all dungeons are random... and the world is *enormous*).

- Trib'

[Lightstar]

Final Fantasy series
Okami

[pookiebear]

counter-strike, before it went retail. gameplay was awesome. went downhill though when they put out voice and changed the netcode. I played it everyday for almost 6 years.

[Tikkyca]

Call of Juarez Bound in Blood.

[chriswyatt]

Minesweeper.

[Objekt]

Dosbox.

That won't fix the horrid 320x200 w/8-bit color graphics. They were tolerable on a 15" monitor in 1994, when such was the norm in PC gaming. I'd probably suffer physical eye damage if I put that up on my 21" CRT.

Also I no longer have a joystick, and I've given up looking for a good one under $100. They don't seem to exist any more. That's for another thread.

[t.rei]

eve-online is pretty epic :D (works rather well on wine, too)

[Ric_NYC]

World Of Goo.

[MasterNetra]

My vote goes to The Elder Scrolls III Morowind

graphics, and scenery are nice, game play is good, replay value is ridiculous

Mines close. Oblivion. Morrowind is good an all. But I do like going through a game without occasionally seeing the seems. Or accidentally going through a wall because I'm going too fast. ...Though I miss levitation. ;)

[swoll1980]

I still haven't finished Oblivion, not because it was too hard, or anything. I just stopped playing it. While it looks 100 times better, it has a smaller world, less quest, less factions, and the story just isn't there for me. As you said no levitation!. Not that it's a bad game. I think Morrowind is a good balance between 2s giganticness, and 4s prettiness.

[dragos240]

There are so many good games. Half life is still awesome, 11 years later, toribash is a favorite, I also really like sonic adventure (though I still can't beat the sky deck :p)

True Oblivion Vanilla is smaller. But their are mods the expand it. ;) http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=3181 This mod makes being a mage much more interesting and allows you to Levitate! Aren't mods just awesome...well some I guess but details.

[djsroknrol]

Sorry guys...it's a toss up between Klax (a forerunner to Guitar Hero)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klax_(video_game)

and Micheal Jacksons' Moonwalker on Sega Genesis...I loved them both.

[ndefontenay]

Little Big Adventure 1 and 2.
Awesome game.

Good ole AVGN.

[KiwiNZ]

A game or game series that for me was pivotal in catching my gaming interest and kept me going for quite some time was SSI's Panzer General.

[Frak]

German version of TF2. They replaced gibs/gore and blood with gears and mech. parts and oil respectively.

Not liking it for the censorship, just thought it was a very crafty way to change the game without actually changing it.

[myemptysoul]

My vote goes to The Elder Scrolls III Morowind

While i agree with you... morrowind is not as good as either daggerfell or oblivion. oblivion has a much more intergrated scenery and the cute references to morrowind and daggerfell. daggerfell is just a classic.

[freebeer]

Halo, the only thing microsoft ever made worth playing.

You've never played Allegiance (http://freeallegiance.org), then.

(MS released the source code and is now maintained by a group of entheusiasts. 10 years strong.)

[sxmaxchine]

World of Warcraft

[Frak]

You've never played Allegiance (http://freeallegiance.org), then.

(MS released the source code and is now maintained by a group of entheusiasts. 10 years strong.)
Or Freelancer, Mechwarrior, MechAssault, Flight Sim, Project Gotham, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Midtown Madness, Hexic, Blinx, Black & White, Forza Motorsport, Crimson Skies...

The list goes on.

[aviedw]

The best games ever created have to be either pacman or galaga

[Dr Belka]

Ace Combat 5 on the PS2

[AMiSMonster]

"Adventure" on the Atari 2600 was my first addiction.

[bigsmitty64]

The best games ever created have to be either pacman or galaga
I can't tell you the amount of quarters I spent on that (galaga) :)

[Shazzam6999]

Portal was three hours of pure gaming bliss, no other way to describe it.

The Mass Effect series has been fun so far; Goldeneye was the most fun I ever had with a shooter; Final Fantasy 7 was the most fun I had with an RPG, but it's been a while since a decent Final Fantasy was made (imo); and um Silent Hill 2 was the scariest game I ever played. There's a ton of other fun games but those are the ones that come to mind.

Oh and to the person that said Call of Juarez earlier, that game was way more fun than I thought it would be. And, I've played MMORPGs and put quite a bit of time into a few but none of them were ever fun, just numb entertainment... more like a job.

[magmon]

Metal gear solid 4: Guns of the patriots. It breaks the mold for shooters, has incredible cut scenes, has an incredibly well thought out and exciting story, mixes up fighting and sneaking missions, has a ton of guns and mods for said guns, and you get to punch liquid in the face. The easter eggs are also quite funny. I like the face camo for metal gear solid 1 and the iPod.

[Legendary_Bibo]

My vote goes towards Okami

[magmon]

I like the classic game
Contra ,Tetris ,

Castlevania?

[gemmakaru]

Deus Ex

[murderslastcrow]

Devil May Cry 3 (Special Edition).

[Elitist]

Planescape Torment

[ankit.vader]

age of empires and counterstrike...

[cokicd]

Shenmue & Shenmue II (Sega Dreamcast)

[ssj6akshat]

World of Goo

[Brv]

All Steam Valve's games and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 :)

I love First-person shooter (FPS)

[bigseb]

Far Cry 1.

[Random_Dude]

Tetris.
It's been so many years and it still rocks!:guitar:

Cheers :cool:

[kaldor]

The Jedi Knight (JK) Series are the best games ever, especially the final one (Jedi Academy).

Weak singleplayer, but the multiplayer is far beyond any other game I've ever played.

[julio_cortez]

Max Payne and Max Payne 2 rock in my opinion.

[Shining Arcanine]

My vote goes to The Elder Scrolls III Morowind

graphics, and scenery are nice, game play is good, replay value is ridiculous
World of Warcraft.

[dragos240]

Doukutsu Monogatari.

[pookiebear]

counter-strike before it came off beta

[Slug71]

Microprose GP500

[MechaMechanism]

Super Breakout on the Atari. I remember playing that game for hours on end as a kid. It came with a cool instruction booklet and the booklet contained a story about a space pilot travelling at light speed approaching a barrier. When ever I played that game I was the space pilot. Loved it.

[dragos240]

counter-strike before it came off beta

Before the campers and noobs? :P

[stuart.reinke]

I'm not much of a gammer and didn't read the whole thread but here's my two cents anyway...
the original Super Mario Bros.
Star Trek : Bridge Commander. Something about sitting in the command chair of a sovereign class starship just tickels the imagination.

[ZarathustraDK]

"NiGHTS into Dreams" for the Sega Saturn, hands down.

[Yes]

Space Invaders. Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped was really fun too, as was Crash Team Racing. Also, the first Spyro game was really great.

Oh, and Pokemon Red for Gameboy.

[m4tic]

Pac-Man

[Zerocool Djx]

Tetris is addictive as hell, and can go forever on a single game. Good choice



OMG,... you just gave me an idea!!!

Tetris for the win!

[crew51m]

Cod-uo

[matto3008]

Looks like a good place for my first post. Quake III Arena.

[Kdar]

Heroes of Might and Magic 2 (and than 3)
It was the first computer game I played. I remember I use to go to my aunt's house to play in on weekends. I was addicted to it :)

[Groucho Marxist]

Super Mario Brothers III... Pure WIN.

[Mercenary(FH)]

My vote goes to The Elder Scrolls III Morowind

graphics, and scenery are nice, game play is good, replay value is ridiculous

I agree Morrowind was amazing. I loved Oblivion too, but Morrowind was just a classic.

I hope Skyrim is just as good

[3Miro]

Civilization IV (haven't played 5 yet)

[Gremlinzzz]

Zelda

[Spice Weasel]

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Quake III: Arena

and Blockland 0002/Vanilla/Free version/Return to Blockland/all of its other names.

[forrestcupp]

I originally said Legend of Blacksilver on the C64.

But now I would have to say LOZ: Ocarina of Time, closely followed by Twilight Princess.

I finally got around to finishing Twilight Princess last week. Awesome game. I think it's even a little better than Ocarina of Time.

They're coming out with a new Zelda game this year, but I won't be able to play it because we're selling our Wii. That's the main thing I hate about getting rid of the Wii. We got a Kinect, which is amazing, but there's no replacement for Zelda.

[Matthewthegreat]

Civilization IV (haven't played 5 yet)

I agree, I'm a big fan of civ IV! I tried 5 and I liked 4 much better. Although I think 5 will get better after the expansion packs.

[WRDN]

Either The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, or Banjo-Kazooie for me.

I am leaning towards the latter, as I am a huge fan of platform/adventure games. Banjo-Kazooie had harmless humour, was vibrant, had brilliant level variety, transformations and general gameplay. I remember feeling really ill, and couldn't look at the TV screen for long, but I would still provide suggestions to my brother playing it.

Ocarina of Time also deserves a mention as nearly everything was perfect, from the horse riding, mini games, dungeons, bosses, sword fighting etc.

[NCLI]

That's a tough question :s

I think my favourite game of all time would be either Final Fantasy VIII, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid, or flower.

They're all way too different to compare.

[aaaantoine]

In my previous message (from May 1, 2008...), I mentioned Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters as being a great game.

I would like to add: Anachronox. Highly under appreciated. The graphics have not aged gracefully, but the storyline remains fantastic.

[Hur Dur]

TALES OF GAMES PRESENTS CHEF BOYARDEE'S BARKLEY SHUT UP AND JAM GAIDEN, CHAPTER ONE OF THE HOOPZ BARKLEY SAGA!

Best game ever. No debate to be had.

One of Ian Gillan's songs is in it, so you know it's a bad *** game.

[Dustin2128]

My vote goes to The Elder Scrolls III Morowind

graphics, and scenery are nice, game play is good, replay value is ridiculous
Yes.

[Rouward]

Gran Turismo 5 and Uncharted 2.

[Red Kelly]

I'd have to say Starcraft for myself, don't get much time to play games anymore but when I do it is almost always Starcraft. Haven't tried Starcraft 2 yet but might have to give it a go soon.
If I might ask, what do people thing of the second one? As good as the first?

[phredbull]

Street Fighter! Playing head to head in the arcade, contenders lining up their quarters on the edge of the screen, was a blast!
:popcorn:

& UT3 online was great. I logged many hours on that game, but I think the online community is dead now.
:cry:

[slackthumbz]

Fallout 3.

New Vegas is good but until they fix all the bugs in the engine it simply won't measure up to its predecessor.

[weasel fierce]

XCOM UFO Defense / UFO Enemy Unknown.


Perfect storm of base management, hardcore tactical turn based combat, RPG elements, fully destructible environments, thick atmosphere, endless replay, doesn't waste your time with hours of pointless tutorial difficulty levels.

And best of all, ran on my amiga as well as on PC's.


Accept no substitutes.

[pookiebear]

Arcade: Double Dragon (reverse elbow punch FTW)
Console: Tecmo bowl on NES ( 64 man tourney anyone? did that all through college, made some money)
Computer: Counter-strike Beta 6. (before netcode and hitbox changes and voice. just a fun game all the time, even traveled to compete in this one)

[andrek]

I'd go for Metal Gear Solid 3.

[johntaylor1887]

Pong.

[CharlesA]

Does the Mass Effect series count? O_o

[mips]

Ghosts & Goblins
Xevious

[zirkoni]

UFO: Enemy Unknown

[Ahava591]

Morrowind for PC, even though I first played it on the XBOX and will never forget turning that thing on, putting the disk in the tray and hearing the main theme for the first time.

Halo was pretty amazing at the time; I still run through the PC version once a year; and again, I first played it on the XBOX and like the console version more.

[forrestcupp]

I just started playing Kameo: Elements of Power, and it looks like it's going to be a great game.

[weasel fierce]

UFO: Enemy Unknown

Without any doubt or question.

[test_tube_baby]

Starcraft II

Fallout 3

Elder Scrolls IV

Bioshock

[Austin25]

If Valve went open-source with portal, that would be the obvious winner.

[cgolson84]

A tie between both of the shadowrun games made for snes and genesis.

[Lensman]

Postal 2 :)

[forrestcupp]

Halo was pretty amazing at the time; I still run through the PC version once a year; and again, I first played it on the XBOX and like the console version more.

I like the PC version better. It had higher resolution and the keyboard/mouse combo is more accurate.

[or3x]

Grand Theft Auto IV or Vice City
Can't even imagine how many hours i've played those games:D

[Johnsie]

paperboy

[gutterslob]

Mario Kart (the DS one in particular)

Honorable mentions: Tie-Fighter, UFO: Enemy Unknown, Civilization, Planescape: Torment, Gran Turismo Series, Chrono Trigger, SNES Zelda games, and pretty much every Mario ever made.

[aaaantoine]

Grand Theft Auto IV or Vice City
Can't even imagine how many hours i've played those games:D

If I were going by hours played, I'd have to say Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, which I've put over 100 hours into.

However, some of the best game experiences are far shorter than that. :P

[cprofitt]

I will have to agree with the OP; though I do not think Morrwind was the best... I personally liked Daggerfall... huge area and not a lot of restrictions on spell design.

You can download it and the original and play them under DOSBOX too.

[dh04000]

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Once you play it, you can not un-play it. Its seriously the only video game I've played through more than 3 times through.

[tapasapat]

Ultima VII Serpent Isle

Once you've finished that game, you can sell your computer and go live a happy life.

[WorfSOM]

Zelda: Ocarina Of Time.

That game is bloody brilliant!

[Ctrl-Alt-F1]

Ultima VII Serpent Isle

Once you've finished that game, you can sell your computer and go live a happy life.
Man I sure loved the old Ultima games when I was a little squirt. I wish they still made them.
