Best Video Games you have ever played

**super monkey ball is a great example of what a modern game should really be… **

Sorry if I’m being rude, it’s not my intention, but, isn’t that game super duper crap? I mean, it looks baby-ish, no?
Just like Animal Crossing (or something like that).

Here we go again… :frowning:

Once you play the game - then give your opinion.

No one else has said “your game sounds stupid” or “like crap” to anyone else - so let’s not start that ok. You are to post your favorites… If you agree with someone great, if you dont - dont put someone else’s game down.

Been a gamer forever… let’s see…

loderunner
lemmings
monkey island
Leisure Suit Larry (almost all)
C&C - except Tiberian Sun
Title by Sierra (cant remember the name) Manny and Meche Colomar…the guy was the grim reaper… AWESOME and funny. I’ll have to think about it.
Half Life
MOHAA
Soldier of Fortune (2 only)
Deus X
System Shock 2 - AWESOME
Unreal
The incredible Machine
Worms
Splinter Cel

Im sure Im forgetting about 50 of them.

I’d have to say that Deus X is the greatest game ever… I had lots of fun playing it.

This is great. I have a good number of friends who play video games all the time and for the most part we all like the same kind of games - sure we all have our favorities but on the whole we’re pretty much in agreement.

Then I come here and look at the amount of different games that everyone else likes and it’s just crazy. Games that I havent even heard of are peoples favorites and that just makes me want to go out and find them and at least try them once. I mean if they are someone’s favorite game they have to be pretty good…

I love these threads.

  1. final fantasy 3/6 (SNES!!!)

2)chrono trigger (SNES)

A good story line beats good graphics anyday

3)CS

ummm i prefer good gameplay over graphics or story, if its not fun or interesting its no good IMHO, its outrageous i dont understand why people think great graphics means its a great game, i dont want to start a console war but i get this alot from co workers they have a xbox and say man psx2 sucks cause its inferior in the graphics department or the specs i honestly could care less about the graphics hell why do you think the game boy is still around??? it has fun games to play not great graphics good games and the portability thats why the game boy is a success and will continue to be until some other company comes in and gets a better handheld and all the games the game boy has and then some

i don’t care what anyone says about graphics. i would choose gameplay over gfx any day. i still love playing classic games even today.

i like to remember the old days of gaming - but every time i go back for more - the same games i used to love and worship dont actually feel that special no more - they are too easy, they are too predictable and mostly they are full of lots of bug (why did we put up with this). Apart from true classics that never die or age, most old games should just be fondly remembered, not replayed…

just me thinking… oh ****, i better go have a blast on elite…

:m:

now that you mention that…

I forgot three… (of all time… right?)

Leather Goddesses of Phobos
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Zork

How’s that for going back in time.

FYI… I finished all of those games (no cheats). I tried to go back and I just did not have the patience anymore. We are spoiled!

hehhe

oh oh… i forgot… suikoden I,II,III
huh?? of all time? suikoden I

Anybody of you ever owned a commodere 64 ?
Maniac Mansion (lukasfilm) was the game at that time that made me lose many hours of sleep…

It didn’t matter if the graphics were totally crappy.
Even today, good graphics alone will NEVER save a bad storyline.

re-edit: hey twilight! You already said that last part… missed it the first time. So: indeed !

Commodore 64? I had a Commodore VIC 20, a C64, 128… ah… the joy!

Oh… while Im in memory lane… three more games came to mind.

Full Throttle… awesome, awesome. They’re coming out with Part II!

Grim Fandango… Another great one no one has heard about. If you like Monkey Island, get the last two I just mentioned.

Team Fortress. Without TF there would be no counterstrike. They are finally coming out with TF2… Hope it’s good.

And Im sure I could go on, and on, and on…

Has neone ever player shining force, landstalker or mean bean machine on the genesis/megadrive, those were some classic games. Mean bean machine was really fun i thought!!!

:beam:

mean bean machine is on the sonic mega collection for the gamecube!!! check it out!!!

iammontoya - i had a c64 - the old one styled just like a vic 20 yeah it rocked! (and the games were rather easy to copy…)

does anybody remember IK+ (international karate)

cool its a real good game, hence the re-release on gamecube prob :D, i been tempted to get a gamecube cause marios, zelda etc rock, but feel weary after the n64 just went dead and i only ever found a few quality games on it (Zelda,Goldeneye, Mario, mario cart,banjo kazooie) dunno if i missed any, they were good games but i needed more of em lol :stuck_out_tongue: i get through lots of games :smiley:

Oh and ik+ was amazing :smiley: especially the ball rebounding bonus level, they got really fast

you could press a button on ik+ and the oponents pants fell down!! that was really funny at the time!

dude - get a cube, you will not be dissapointed…

International Karate rocked !

And what about some other early generation games on PC

LHX attack chopper
Chuck Yeagers Air Combat

I was hooked on action / flight sims those days

one of the main reason for me wanting to get a gameboy adavnce is to get a link to the past. Me and my friend got quite far then(because of a dodgy old snes) our game got deleted. But we still persisted and started again and got farther. I left the game at another freins house one time and it mysteriously disappeared, so i have still to this day never completed the game.

i completed it this week! but ive still to get a few items…
