What do you think the best or most enjoyable game is ever. The one sticking point is that you doubt no one else here would share your opinion.


My PC choice would be blade/ Severance for Darkness for the aPC. Classic adventure gamew allowing you to traverse a unique world with either a barbarian, knight, amazon or dwarf. The best combat system I've evr played, as well as real time lighting, skulls and bones as weapons. It's a pity x box canceled ultimate Blade.

For console it would be a tie between outlaw golf for Xbox and atari 2600's space invaders.
I doubt anyone woulds say those

Dune II

I have never gotten into C&C, how odd is that?

Arcade: Ms. Pac Man
PC: (digging up the oldies) Spluenker or the original Castle Wolfenstein for Commodore 64 (before the Nazi's arrived)
Console: if you judged this on hours invested it would be Goldeneye.. HANDS DOWN it had everything, solid 1 player, solid multi-player and UNLIMITED replay value.

Primal Rage for Sega Genesis, I just love this game and still play it.

Snatcher for Sega CD. A very rare game to get in the US, so I doubt it would be anyone elses favorite game.

One of my all time favorite PC games was the Rose Tattoo. A Sherlock Holmes interative mystery (not full motion video though) from EA. There were two games published by EA with Sherlock Holmes in the mid 90's and both were very good. The Rose Tattoo mystery was the second one and was one of my favorite point and click adventure/mystery games ever.

Final Fantasy (fill in the blank)

Okay.. seriously..

Jet Grind Radio (dramcast)
Jet Set Radio Future (xbox)

The game I bought my DC for, and the game I bought my Xbox for.

NHL '94 for the Sega Genesis.

Best sports game ever.

Demolition Derby (Arcade 4-Player -- Bally/Midway)

Best arcade game ever. I own it; has anyone else here played it? The MAME rom doesn't begin to do the game justice.

I may not be the only one, but at least first

Shining Force (any of them)==>my favorite games ever

If not that, then Vandal Hearts (the first one only) which is basically the same as Shining Force, with the added bonus of spouting blood.

I'd be in heaven if they released a Shining Force 1+2, plus Shining Force Gaiden collection for GBA.

final fantasy 7 - whoo hoo! rpg goodness. got it for the pc. but, it actually turned me on to consoles (ps2).

--
which led to a ton of other rpgs for the ps1 and ps2... more than i can handle (must finish grandia ). the ps2 is the best console i've ever bought (including the xbox... still waiting for a decent rpg on it. i guess doa volleyball will have to suffice for now ))

While I beg to differ on the "Best arcade game ever" opinion, Demolition Derby is damn fun! Especially if you have 3 or 4 guy/gals playing, jockeying to pick up the bonus cash and nitros, and pumping people off-course...

PAL

Darklands

Probably the best RPG I've ever played. Historically accurate too!

Super Smash Brothers for N64

I'm not sure how many people still play it, but I play it still at least 2-4 times a week. I bought the Melee version for GC, but love my N64 version better. Moves at a slower pace.

Populous the Beginning

something about shoot bolts of lightning and being god

hahahahahaaahhah bow down to me......



ya ya i like that game a lot.

Monster Party for the NES

Never played these games before, but the other day I picked up Shining Force II complete in box for $9. Read good things about it, so maybe I'll get around to playing it this year. Also picked up Phantasy Star II complete in box w/hint book for the same price, and got Might & Magic for $6.

Oids on the Atari ST

It was made by the same company that made Dungeon Master.

Oids was a lot of fun, sort of a combination asteroids/defender/scramble/lunar lander. I need to find an ST emulator that will play this game.

Caveman Games NES, awesome fun for up to six players - Would not call it all time favorite, but definately uo there

Herzog Zwei for Genesis. IMHO, the greatest 2 player console game of all time.

Wow, I see Snatcher and Herzog Zwei, 2 of the best Genesis 16bit games....

My favorite console game is gotta be Samurai Shodown for the neo (if played by 2 ppl), or Super Bomberman (SNES) for 3+ ppl.

Sewer Shark

Thank-you!! I am not alone!! I got a genesis for this game.
I stomp my roommate at least once a week in it.

All time favs:
Earthworm Jim (genesis) I have no idea why I love this game so much. Pure wacky zany fun

Mr. Bones (saturn)
more wackiness

Kickle Cubicle(nintendo)
Played this game for weeks. kept it on pause when I got to the last boss because i had to go to skool and didn't want to get there again. My mom was quite pissed.

Adventures of Cookies & Cream (ps2)
probably the best co-op game i played for the ps2

soul edge (ps1)
the foundation for soul calibur, need i say more?

metal slug x (neo geo) played this all the time at the pizza parlor on my home from school

Hmm, good idea for a thread. Here are a few games that I am sure people would disagree with me about being great games.

Rolling Thunder 2, for the Sega genesis. Excellent, excellent 2 player co-op game.

James Pond 2: Robo Cod, for the Sega genesis. Great platformer with great humor.

Faery Tale, for the Sega genesis. Nice overhead rpg that first turned me on to console rpgs.

You will kill me on this one:

Simpsons Road Rage. It got panned, and yes it is a clone of Crazy Taxi, but it is great to drive around Springfield, and my girlfriend loves it. I think it could appeal to a wider demographic.

Guess it's not one of those games that no one else will "ave" at # 1. Cool.

Flashback for the Genesis.

For the PC I'm going to have to say Leisure Suit Larry. Just amused me to no end as a kid.
