Your favorite videogames of all-time?

[IContainMultitudes]

OH, and does anyone remember Adventure Island/Wonder Boy games? They were both on the NES/Famicom and Game Boy. Those games were cool, a little wild cave boy who threw hammers at snails and snakes and stuff, and rode dinosaurs with different powers like fire-breathing or you could fly a teradactyl and... stuff...? And the aim was to save your girlfriend (really original plot eh!?), and there were lots of eggs involved... no?

I remember that one.

I had an old Game Boy too, something like 19-20 years ago (no idea where it ended up). One of my favorite games for it was a somewhat obscure one, anyone else remember this? (I can hear the music from it in my head as I write this.)

I'm guessing this is more than likely horrible, but I kind of want this game:

Anyone played it?

Just get it, I bet it's lekker. Mortal Kombat + DC characters = it should be good. I remember playing a more recent Mortal Kombat game round a friend's house on PS2 a few years ago, it was wicked. Geddit. Or don't.

I have it for my 360 (which broke down now)

So yeah, I played it.. and quite a lot actually. I do like those kind of games (Mortal kombat, Street fighter, virtua fighter, the entire range of fighting games), so I kinda had to get it.

Is it good? If you like it for the gimmick, then yes... but I'd say it's good if it's about 20 bucks or so. It's not worth the full 60 or so, which they usually cost. Also, once you played through the game, saw all finishing moves and all, it gets kinda stale. Still it's a fun game to play when people come over

Well, not played the same Final Fantasy Games, so not quite! I don't know how similar FF3 & 4 would be to any you've played & I take it you know there's emulators for the DS & the ROMS available, for PC, if you wanted to try them? How about the FF Tactics games, any of those you've tried or would like?

Yeah, that was kind of my idea with that game...I really loved Super Smash Brothers (wii) for that same reason. I basically want something that would make for a good rainy-day default thing to do. Maybe I can find it used (although I probably need a play station/or 360 first, heh)

But mostly, I just have this really big nerdy curiosity about the characters in the game.

 

[BruceCM]

Or an emulator, there's plenty around & the rom! Even for free!

The first game that I really became obsessed with was Goldeneye for N64. I still play it occasionally and it's just as good as I remember it being at the time. The most recent game I keep playing is Mass Effect. I used to spend all night playing on it (when my sleeping routine was off) and when I woke up I'd be straight back on it.

 

[RavenSly]

The original Klonoa man. I loved that game. It's the weirdest thing ever and half of it doesn't make any sense, but it is so damn cool. And then, of course, I gotta give my props to Pokemon. I owned like all the Pokemon games, and I loved each and every one of them.

Then, I also like Dig-Dug, where you're this weird little miner/future warrior dude, and you gotta shoot dragons and whatnot with your laser gun, while digging around underground. Finally, one of my favorite games of all time, has to be Tetris, which I still play, and have as a favorite on my computer. See, here it is: Free Tetris

It's the simplest game ever, but it is just so fun. I have literally spent like an entire hour just sitting in front of my computer playing this.

Another game that popped my mind as awesome. Not directly innovative in gameplay and all, but I liked the design and all very, very much.

Alice; Madness returns (and to a lesser extent; American McGee's Alice [that's the first game, Madness returns is part 2]) because Wonderland in decline, as much as near post-apocalyptic, is pretty awesome ^^

The only thing that annoyed me a bit was

Spoiler

in the Chinese themed world, there is a lot of "mixing up" with Chinese and Japanese stuff, and the Samurai Wasp enemies were a bit weird. Because as far as I know, Samurai aren't really Chinese.

And that ticked me even more when I figured out that the company who made it; Spicy Horse,, is actually located in Shanghai and pretty much has nothing but Chinese employees.

A funny note on it though, from what I've read in the Design artbook from that game was that it's quite hard to ask the Chinese designers to come up with something exotic for "Western people". Because for all that it's worth, our "exotic" is Asian, and their "exotic" isn't that Asian.

I remember the concept art for Epic Mickey a few years ago, that would've went the same route as this... Disney after an apocalypse, mixed in with some steampunk ideas. In the end the game was something totally different as far as I know. Don't own a Wii, but from what I've seen... meh.

Anyone remember a duck-hunting game on the Sega Mega Drive? I remember playing it with an orange coloured gun.

I loved the old Need For Speed games on PS2 and the originals on PC. Midnight Club: Dub Edition was fun too as was the Burnout series. Ooh and I've just remembered about playing Tekken and Street Fighter games against my brother! Ah the memories...

Wasn't that on the NES? If so, yes I remember it... and that stupid dog!

I think it was released on both systems according to Wikipedia . The orange gun that I remember using was the Nintendo gun though.

Wiki states NES and Famicom system. The developer even was Nintendo, so I don't think it was on Sega at all. Sega had a gun at one time, but I believe that was on the Megadrive, and was rather fancy looking one which had all kinds of detachables on it. SNES had the giant bazooka/scope thing which was horrible... not to mention the games that came with it.

It says there was a similar game for the Sega Megadrive (very top). I could have sworn though that I played it on the Megadrive with the orange Nintendo gun. Perhaps the gun was also compatible with the Megadrive.

Donkey Kong Country 2. I was mezmerized an entire winter during junior high by this game after that I stopped playing video games nearly as much. But then again, maybe I just consider it to be the best because of the care-free childish memories I associate it with

 

[Galaxy Freeze]

I don't have a lot of games, but... Personally, I love Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii. (Pretty much the only reason I have a Wii) I've gotten so good at it because I've had it for many years and it just never gets old!

I also like Sonic the Hedgehog games, but mostly for handheld devices, those were very fun for me to play when I was younger, kept me busy for hours. Pokemon was awesome too.

We used to have an Xbox 360 because my sister had one in her room, I loved lots of games on there, but I can't remember any. When she moved out I was pretty sad... I miss the Xbox! Haha.

From yesteryear games I could play over and over again;

Final fantasy 7 & 8
Suer Mario Bros. 3
Sonic and tails
GTA 3 and vice city (best one IMO)

More recently games I consider my all time favourites;

Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 (I like the gameplay in 1 more but nothing beats a good melee weapon)
Gears of war series
Halo 3 - There's just something about 3 that I like and keep going back to
Bioshock 1 & 2
Saints row series
Super mario Bros. wii

I do have more favourites but those are the ones I could happily play over and over again without getting fedup.
