"For Mature Audiences Only." :-)

[qnr]

2. Original Star Raiders

amazing what they packed into that little cartridge.

[Emops]

3. "The Legend of Zelda- Majora's Mask" for N64

Wow, this got me thinking of how fun that game is. If it wasn't 4am and I didn't have an exam in six hours, I'd play it now.

[Still_Notafraid]

7. I totally

forgot the Zelda collection,what was I thinking,Have yet to ever play a bad Zelda game.

[Still_Notafraid]

4. Hey i forgot

[Archae]

8. Yup! Conker's BFD.

:D

[sandnsea]

5. Space Invaders

Hey, what can I say, I'm old.

And I used to like that caveman game on the old, old Macs. What was the name of that anyway?

[Still_Notafraid]

11. My first game system

was a Atari and space invaders was defiantly the best game,but miss pack man along with commando comes at a close 2nd.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

41. Ha ha!!! Ping pong/hockey in B&W!

Just hit the toggle and ping pong turns into hockey!
Actually, pac-man, and breakout (the lowering brick wall) were pretty good too.

[pinniped]

6. Some favorites:

Arcade: Gauntlet I/II ( I used to have a fullsize Gauntlet II machine )
N64: Goldeneye
PS2: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

My next favorite game will no doubt be GTA: San Andreas

Anyone remember Die Hard Trilogy for the PS I?

Until Grand Theft Auto came out it was the bloodiest game I've ever seen.

Ah what the hell:

- Joust (arcade)
- Vanguard (arcade)
- Spy Hunter (arcade)

[Still_Notafraid]

9. that new GTA

thats out already? I think i am getting it for Christmas my wife wont let me reserve it.

[pinniped]

10. It will be out on the 28th of October but I know it will be my new fav.

I must have put in a couple hundred hours beating Vice City.

[Mojambo]

13. I forgot GoldenEye

Absolutely terrific game!

[pinniped]

14. So great a game it's the only game I ever bought for the N64!

n/t

[Mojambo]

20. The level design in that game was ++

Each stage was like a different game.

I'd consider purchasing an N64 again just to play that game.

[Mojambo]

12. I'm all over the place here

Wasteland (simply the best game ever made)

Bard's Tale 3 (more old school excellence)

Civilization 2 (Awesome, awesome genre defining game)

Pirates! (another Sid Meier classic - soon to be remade I think)

Soldier of Fortune (a rare FPS that I enjoyed. Usually not my thing)

Wizardry 8 (Perhaps the best FRPG of all-time. Certainly the best of the modern era)

High Heat Baseball 2001 (Awesome baseball franchise, sadly has fallen on hard times)

System Shock 2 (scariest game ever. More scary than Doom 3, IMO)

Starflight and Seven Cities of Gold (In their day they were oh so addictive)


I've missed a ton of great ones but that's all I can come up with right now...

[qnr]

15. I like a lot of yours, and will add

Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back
Sundog
Bards Tale
Archon
M.U.L.E.
Miner 49er

[Mojambo]

18. M.U.L.E and Miner

good catches. I played both a LOT.

Another one I played a ton on my old Commodore 64 was Jumpman Jr. That was a seriously addictive game.

And how could a forget Dungeon Master?

I'm getting nostalgic.

[pinniped]

21. Seven Cities of Gold was pretty cool (C64).

Everyone back in the C64 days had shoeboxes full of games to pass around and copy.

Is that how shareware originated?

Remember Demon Stalkers?

Lode Runner!

[Mojambo]

22. Those were the days.

Remember using Fasthackem' to make copies of games?

That computer ruled. Hard.

[pinniped]

23. LOL!...I still got a page from a puter magazine...

for that "Final Cartridge" thing I never got around to ordering.

Remember that quick loader program that was supposed to makes games load faster?

I don't think it ever really loaded quicker.

[Mojambo]

24. I had a subscription to Compute!

We used to stay up all night typing in the basic code for programs they had in the magazines.

We'd design our own text based adventure games. Man, they were lame.

[pinniped]

27. Too funny...think I may have tried that once.

Did you ever buy that hole puncher that cut a square notch?

I just used a standard circle puncher.

[Mojambo]

28. Same here.

Double-sided floppies. Now that was sweet.

[TransitJohn]

49. I loved those

left
look
hit

[qnr]

54. Same here

Compute!, Antic and A.N.A.L.O.G. were my subscriptions back in the early eighties.

Also..
SoCom 2 for Playstation2... awesome online action

[Knurled99]

19. Oh yeah...

Can't forget Unreal Tournament and Quake3! Two online games that really got people into online games, IMO.

[12ss1kp]

25. Rainbow Six

I love shooting the M60 with the surround sound turned up. Just like the way the bass sounds out of my sub. You can get some good beats going.

[darkism]

26. A tie

...between...

The Secret of Monkey Island...

and...

Transport Tycoon. (one of the ORIGINAL, REAL "Tycoon" games!)

[bowens43]

29. Morrowind

[bowens43]

30. Morrowind

[NewHampshireDem]

31. Glad to see someone finally mention Morrowind!

That was BY FAR the best game I've ever played. It is so rich and deep with so many options.

I would also add:

Civ 2
System Shock 2
Quake and Quake 2
Half-Life (and Day of Defeat Mod)
Call of Duty

Some honorable mentions:
Gothic
Deus Ex
Thief
Syberia

And some old school games:
Lode Runner for the C-64
Demon Stalkers for the C-64 (those damn multi-level maps!)
Bard's Tale 3 (Remember those battles that literally too HOURS to resolve ...) for the C-64
Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy for the C-64 (and just about anything else from Infogram)
Kaboom! for the Atari 2600
Pitfall 2 for the 2600
Berzerk for the 2600 (mindless, but I loved it when I was 12)

[Aunt Anti-bush]

32. Silent Hill

There are 3 of them and they're creepy.

[Wilber_Stool]

34. Yeah boy

Character control was a bit difficult but it was literally scarier. Have they fixed it?

[Maestro]

33. The original Wolfenstein made by some

local boys, now all millionaires! You know? They make a little something called Doom 3. :)

[Endangered Specie]

35. The Medal of Honor series

[Magrittes Pipe]

36. Pong.

[kick-ass-bob]

38. dammit!

I am morphing into whoisalhedges. :scared:
That was my answer.

:scared: :scared: :scared:

[jerryman814]

37. StarCraft!!

I STILL play this sometimes... hehe.

[redqueen]

39. Tron

Or another one I can't remember the name of. Another 80's game. I don't like many video games.

ooh on edit: Tempest... that's the other one I liked.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

40. Castlevania IV

[Heyo]

42. GTA: Vice City

But there have been alot that I have enjoyed about that much too.. so a lot of close seconds. Halo would be one of those, for example.

Heyo

[arwalden]

43. Pong. Donkey Kong, Loderunner, Venture, Sonic The Hedgehog and

Frankenstein: Through The Eyes Of The Monster
Fantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle Of Flesh

[NewYorkerfromMass]

46. Asteroids, Galaga, and as a bonus....

Qbert. :) Yeah, I spent a lot of time in bars.

[Aiptasia]

44. Star Control II, Wing Commander & the Ultima Series.

Old school:

Those who've played Star Control II on the PC or the Panasonic 3DO know the deal.. I've never been more absorbed in a video game than this one.

Wing commmander gets a nod at being one of the best space flight combat sims of all time, even without the roddy mcdowell & mark hamill cutscenes.

And the ultima series of RPG games were the best RPG's of the 80's and early 90's. All modern RPG's owe origin systems a nod.

New School: Fable for Xbox is an amazing RPG, very addictive. SSX and Tony Hawk for PS2 (they keep getting better) and who can forget John Madden football?!

[Arkana]

45. My top five

1. Super Smash Bros. Melee
2. Soul Calibur II
3. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
4. Pokemon Blue Version (I was in 7th grade--don't laugh)
5. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (This was just addicting)

[ironflange]

47. Q*Bert

I was able to go hours and hours on a single quarter. Unfortunately, those hours would have been better spent studying.

[bemildred]

53. Yes, but few of us remember now ...

I had to give up when my laundry got done.

[Kid_A]

48. I'll have a new favorite game of all-time next Monday...

when GTA: San Andreas comes out.

But right now I have lots of favorite games:

GTA: Vice City
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
X-Men Legends
Goldeneye
Star Wars: Rogue Leader
Half-Life
Deus Ex
The Curse of Monkey Island
Manhunt
Burnout 3
Spider-Man 2
Metroid Prime
Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2

[muriel_volestrangler]

50. Elite

it pushed the limits of early 1980s home computers further than anyone thought possible.

[mooky]

51. Galaga

Galaga on MAME

[helnwhls]

52. diablo and diablo II

Played that game day and night
