the best game of all time!

[flatbush27]

what is your favorite game in all of history? doesnt matter if its a video game, board game, or back-of-the-cereal-box game. my personal favorite is Turok II: Seeds of Evil.

[sxamiga]

My most absoulte favorite game of all time, you say? Well it just has got to be (please don't laugh me off the face of the planet now) JR. Pac Man for the Atari 2600. It had all the tunes from the arcade, good graphics, fast game play, and incredible AI for the ghosts. I have issued a challange to anyone I know and that is, if they can finish just the first board w/all 4 ghosts active, then my "hat" is off to them. Those ghosts are so quick and so mean, plus they head straight for you, that, to me at least, it is impossible to finish even one board w/all four of them. I play w/just one ghost and even that is tough. IMHO, Jr. Pac Man was the finest game ever made for the Atari 2600. Thanks to emulation (Z26) I can still enjoy this great game on my computer.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

Lufia2 for snes, absolute the best rpg, even thought the graphic aren't that good, but it's the only game that I really loved and played over 10times!! apparently the ending is very sad :( due to the story of lufia1, *if you had played the game you'll know*

DragonKnight 3*xentar knight* hehe it's a adult game but it's very interesting *the pic and the story* :P

suikoden 1, really love the game becoz it's unique it got rpg strategy and gambling stuff,

[Zell]

Chrono Trigger !! it's just the best in my eyes !

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D j/k! :)

Anyway, my choice is pretty much obvious: Tokimeki Memorial, the game that spawned a whole new genre of videogames (Ren'ai, or Love Simulation games). :)

[Sylvan Sorrow]

My favorite games opf all time is most definitely Final Fantasy 6j, Final Fantasy X (I love this game), Chrono Trigger, Suikoden 2, and many many more.

[Exodus]

as i've posted in many other threads...XENOGEARS!

[Hunter17]

chrono triger,seiken detsensu 3, fina fantasy 7 these are good games, the others are just...........games

[john2]

Doom series.......they really kick ass (and with new 3D models and opengl support they're outstanding :) )

[Neojag]

Xenogears // FF7
and a buncha more of them ;)

[Gk1986]

Xeongear // CT // FFVII // Tetris (:heh: )

[sights]

ok, without a second thought, I'd choose ELITE - the greatest game I've ever played... :)

...for my top 20, check this older thread (http://www.ngemu.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=53589#post53589)

[Badaro]

For me it's Chrono Trigger, I've lost count on how many times I played it throught. At least 20. :)

Also, Starcraft and Seiken Densetsu 2/3 deserve a mention here.

[]s Badaro

[Hunter17]

i think that a good game isn´t a game with great grafic, i think that a good game must have a good storyline or be atractive in some way.

[FireGL]

for me its mgs and tales of destiny 2

[Shiori]

I still can't figure out TOD2's battle system though. :p I just press a mishmash of keys....bahala na. :D

hey, as long as you win, it doesn't matter if you're doing it right! ...you are winning, right?

[japoniano]

I could be all night naming them...

[Kellicros]

Final Fantasy 7, Metal Gear Solid, Tals Of Destiny 2, Tenchu 2, etc.

[fujita]

Hello everyone.
For PC, one of the game that I respect is the Commando series. Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, Commandos: Beyond The Call Of Duty and the latest one, Commandos 2: Men Of Courage. These games are superb and very fun to play. The graphic is great, and the complexity and tactic were so good. If you need to play a tactical game, I recommend these. I salute the developers for making such amazing games.

I've played it maybe 2 dozen times, each with different combinations of job clases, which lets me enjoy a new battle strategy.
Graet graphics as a bonus

[Auri87]

Tales of Destiny 2
Star Ocean 2
Valkyrie Profile

They all have AMAZING battle systems that make me want 2 play them over and over.............

[EfrainMan]

it's not the best game of all time for me, but Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines was once my favorite game (before I spied an SFC rom called "Tokimeki Memorial" :D) If you have'nt tried this game before, I recommend you try out Commandos 2.

[japoniano]

Hard to decide...

Xenogears?

...

Nah, too much story telling...

How about...

Xenogears?

[Samor]

I don't know...
might be Snatcher and SD Snatcher

[Minlerr]

I say CT on the ps (the fmv movies are great) Grand theft auto 3, metal gear solid 2, secret of mana, shining force.... and alot more

[EfrainMan]

Minlerr, I don't thing that image thing works in signatures here. Just an FYI . . . unless you did that on purpose :rolleyes:.

[Kane]

CT is very cool. The snes emulation (barring FMV's) looks better. Hmm, maybe sometihng could be done with that.... Where did I put my C++ manual.

[Carmofin]

Landstalker or Toe Jam and Earl...
one of them, cant decide which though ^_^

[Neojag]

Toe jam & Earl kicked some MAJOR ASSS :cool:

[Kane]

Number 2 sucked some serious ass!

[Jean-Starwind]

Doom

All the other kids in my neighborhood had Super Nintendo's and Sega Genesis. But in 1993 I had a good ol 33mhz, 4mb ram, and 300mb Hard Drive PC HOG OF HELL!! I admit it was not much at all but, it was all I needed to run the only game I ever wanted in that whole 16-bit generation.......... D.O.O.M.

While all the other kids were playing their Street Fighters and Mario Karts, I was running around surreal 3D architectures dumpin bullets in the asses of those minions of hell who mutilated my comrads.

It was waaay ahead of its time. That is why I still honor it as my favorite videogame ever. Nuff said...

[D.ANGEL]

ff7
brief answer but no other choice:)

[Prafull]

mgs.
re series ,pe2 and dino crisis 2 are close behind.

[Auri87]

Tales of Phantasia (snes) Tales of Phantasia (psx) Tales of Destiny 1 and Tales of Destiny 2

[Snake785]

My ALL TIME favorite game is Descent II for PC. The BEST game of ALL time.

[FiReY]

Move out of the way and make room for Final Fantasy X ^-^. Sorry I couldn't really help it I'm a Final Fantasy Freak. ^-^ Anyways that was number one on my list. Second would be Legends of Dragoon, third Chrono Trigger, and further down would be FF series 2-9. And thats about it. ^-^

[Jonys]

For me:

Card Game: Magic
Plataform Game: Donkey kongs
Action: Syphon Filter 2
Shoot: Wolfeinstain 3D
RPG: Final fantasys
Race: Gran Turismo
Sport: Nba Lives
Misc: PE2

I think that's it....

[flatbush27]

doesn't anyone have ONE favorite game?

[Ryos]

It's kind of difficult to select only one game when no game is perfect.

[Shiori]

Originally posted by flatbush27

I do. And my answer should be pretty obvious. ;)

[flatbush27]

wow. at least someone makes their decision down to one.

[Snake785]

Originally posted by flatbush27

Didn't you read my post? I said Descent II. Thats my All Time Favorite Game. there are others but this one stands out the most

[flatbush27]

i said "at least" in my next post in this thread. at least means the minimum, so there could be more.

interpret the english language literally when you don't understand.

[Snake785]

hehe, sorry.:emb: :D

[sxamiga]

Flatbush27, watch your attitude. Insulting people, is frowned upon. You are starting to seriously annoy me. Watch it!!!!:mad:
sx/amiga

[takwu]

yeah, someone's watching, always watching ;)
tho I dont think flatbush27 really meant insults. he just doest realize it is insulting. i've been there.

anyway, back to the comments. I made my decision down to one as well. Actually i think a lot of people did.

I am not sure about Ryos's comment tho. Tetris is kinda perfect... in a sense. ok that is a little too philosophical :emb:

Snake785. Yeah I loved Descent II. Too bad the multiplayer was written for IPX only, and internet wrappers (I mostly used zone.com) were far from perfect. Add to the fact that most people didn't have high speed internet, I kinda feel the game's potential was never fully realized. Descent, from the first one, was truely 3D, unlike Doom or Duke "3D", both of which seemed to be more popular on BBS and subsequently on the internet.
The unofficial remakes spawned from the source release were a little late for the party.

Parallax should really have made something to counter Quake. The gab from D2 to D3 was too wide, both technologically and chronologically.

Heh, I wouldn't have known someone else would like D2 on the forums. Mostly because well, everybody I know in RL never liked it.

That was a down fall since multiplayer was wriiten for IPX. But multiplayer was pretty good if you are playing with other people with fast connections. Sometimes you can get people that lag SO much, its actually impossible to kill them. I used to play D2 over Kahn about a year ago. Ever since Igot Win2k, I couldn't been able to go on it. :( But I'll dual-boot my computer with Win98 so I can continue playing the game that I love. :) Btw, I really suck at Descent. :D

[McBain]

No question, Starcraft.

sorry... i didn't mean insults. i guess i should have typed it differently. i don't look to insult people.

[SanDRocK]

I'd have to say my fav game of all time was FF3 USA for snes

[sxamiga]

Thank you for the reply flatbush27. Just be a little more careful in the future. Thanks.:)
sincerely,
sx/amiga

[flatbush27]

sure, anytime.

btw, as graphics are getting better and better, old games are becoming classics. the 'best' list is getting harder to chose from.

[Esturk]

The best game of all time would be Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back on my Commodore Amiga 500. They never get boring.

[BOB]

Hehe, it seems like one of these best game of all time posts appears once every few months...

:)

Anyway, in my humble opinion Elite is the greatest game of all time and its also now freely available.
You can grab it here (http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/) from Ian Bell's website in all its forms.
And its excellent sequels have also been freely released and are available from the Elite club (http://www.eliteclub.co.uk) .
I highly recommend them, they still beat seven shades of sh!t out of games like X-Beyond The Frontier etc.

BOB

[sights]

...BOB !!!! GREAT choice, man !!! :D
...finally, another ELITE fan in the board !! WOO-HOO !!! :D

...btw, how do you like my avatar ? :cool:

[Class]

If i exclude RPG's...
I may say Starcraft.

I have some friends who hate every type of games...but love Starcraft...

[takwu]

no, this thread is unique. it includes any type of game, as stated in the first post of this thread.

>takwu - exactly...

[takwu]

yeah... every thread differs in details somewhat
hmm any type of game... i saw that at first but didn't think hard enough about it...
ok i change my vote to:

Rock-Scissors-Paper
despite it being 2-player only, the game design :idea: :eyemove: , graphics :wink:, sound :doh: :shout: are just perfect... hehe. Oh and don't forget the different ending everytime you play :lol:

[Bubsy]

Being as Mobius 1; in Ace Combat 4:rolleyes:
"just love being a top notch pilot"

[Snake785]

Tic Tac Toe is a classic! ;)

[Strider]

how could we forget about


PONG!

[Seifer]

- Valkyrie Profile
- Star Ocean: Second Story
- FF7
- FF8

- Devil May Cry
- KOF2001
- Metal Gear Solid
- Castlevania: SONT
- Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete
- Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver Series
- Chrono Trigger
- Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

These games go from good to Excellent

[flatbush27]

does anyone remember POG? that was the big thing when i was somewhere around 10. smashing that huge stack of cardboard shenanagins got me going.

[Snake785]

LOL, I remember those! I think I still have a bunch of them. :D

[Kane]

Me too. Gods I got a stack of them from the shop I worked as a paperboy at.

[flatbush27]

:dead:R.I.P. - POGs... you're still in our memories

a nice brooklyn style game is 'chuck rocks at a dumpster and see who can dent it.' what a great game :D

[Recca]

Flatbush27 are you a moderator since you have your own title

[flatbush27]

what gave you that idea? basically, i just asked for the title. your last post should have been a pm, otherwise, this thread could be closed by a real moderator.

video games seem to rule over traditional games. Risk is my favorite board game.

[Recca]

Sorry (I think)

[flatbush27]

its all right. no hard feelings. just say something like this after something off-topic:

Final Fantasy is legend that will never die.

Hello everyone.
I have been playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault for quite a while, and needless to say, I'm impressed. In the game, I'm surprised by the creativity and excitement in it. For example, the mission at Omaha Beach. For those who had watch the movie Saving Private Ryan, this is the chance to take part and feel the heat of battle. It's a superb first person shooting game, the best you can expect from the classic Doom style game, Id Software.

[Neojag]

RTCW, on the other hand, sucks ass :mad: it was funny in the first part at the castle, but after more than an hour just shooting zombies in some catacombs it became boring as hell. bottomline, i think rtcw sucks ;)

[EfrainMan]

You should tell that to my sister, she fell in love with RTCW almost as much as Max Payne :eek:.

[Andronicus]

I think MaxPayne is too easy:(

[liquid]

Unreal Tournament is probably my favorite game. I can't wait for UT2 :)

[Pemolis]

I have 3 favorites.

Final Fantasy 2 (Snes).

My Real first introduction to RPG's, loved it. Story kicked, graphics kicked, Kain Kicked (I love that Dragoon but they never ever got his jump right in any other game ever).

Herzog Zwei (Genesis)

First Real RTS game (if you havent played it, Play it!). First real game where the bases you took over gave you the money to build the army, and the army rocked (tanks, apc's, Motor Cycles, boats, no planes though). The Other really Good aspect of it was that you were the main form of Transport. You controlled a Transformable Plane (could be a plane to shoot the enemy who is also a plane, could transport 1 Troop anywhere you liked, and could turn into a Robot and Take out enemy troops.

Bases were HUGELY important, you could actually get involved, you could intercept the enemy, setup attacks and retreats, Repair machines. Damn that rocked. The coolest part is when you ran out of gas, you blew up.


DragonBall z Final Bout

I actually owned that game for 6 months. Loaned it to a friend, then they suddenly join the army and takes it with them to germany. Grrr! Slow for a fighter game but they did a good job of capturing DBZ.

I bet thats the most wanted ISO in PlayStation Existence.

[sxamiga]

flatbush27, uh uh that won't work. We Admins are on to that one. Best to keep it on topic all the way through or, bye bye, see ya later, end of story, to the thread. If you want to talk off topic, or about this and that, Recca, please use The Off Topic Discussion Forum, PMs, or E-Mail, with or without brine your choice. I not warning you, you haven't done anything wrong, I'm just clarifying things.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

[JakeHunter25]

Well I truly tried to make a choice, but rpg games like Chronotrigger and the FF series aren't really comparable to other great games of other kinds, for example Mortal Kombat in the fighters, Red Alert and Age of Empires in the Strategies... They're all great but not really comparable, in my opinion, so who's to say whatever the greatest game is!?:confused: But I guess the best game is also the one which is played the most, like the Counterstrike stuff at the moment...

[Exodus]

Xenogears and Counter-Strike!

[EfrainMan]

Hmmm . . . a lotta people are saying Xenogears is up there in their best game list, maybe I should try it. :rolleyes:

Ah, well I heard a lot about Chrono Cross, but I didn't like it THAT much. It had a really good story, tho. From what I saw :p

[DarkLink]

Chrono Trigger
Mario Bros. 3
SUper Smash Bros. Melee
Mega Man and X series
Legend of Dragoon
Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past
Legend of Zelda OoT

[Demigod]

On the contrary, I found Max Payne to be extremely unfair. I mean, try playing the last few levels without saving. It had nice graphics and all but the gameplay was completely fake. I would have liked it better if it was FPS, I just can't target in 3rd person view.

[Strider]

i just bought xenogears, hoping it lives up to all the hype everyone was saying, the only thing i dont like was the voice dubbing in the intro movie... that was pretty lame seeing the captain admiral's jaw drop 10 times before you hear something

[Neojag]

yes, the voice dubbind is terrible during the _whole_ game ;) but the game itself is A W E S O M E :) im sure ull enjoy it :)

[Strider]

i am so far... i just got to the desert city, its sad though, 2 disasters close to the begining

[Kane]

I'm just a little further on from that, and I got stuck, and haven't got round to continuing. (every time I do, I forget which way I was heading)

[Exodus]

desert city? you mean way at the beginning?

[Kane]

Yup. I'm trapped under the Desert at the mo

[flatbush27]

hey everyone, i just found my POGs! that game is not dead. it still lives on in my town. now i can join the tournament.:cool:

[Strider]

> Yup. I'm trapped under the Desert at the mo

I got through that part and im at the thieves hideout place...

[rpgking]

Xenogears was a great game. Even though the textboxes were extremely slow, the story & battle system made up for it.

[XexcaliburX]

for me i think ff series they rockzzzzzzz!!!!

zelda
resident evil series
silent hill
galaga

[zerocopy]

heres my all time favs!!!

starcraft and broodwar
counterstrike
ff series
castlevania sotn

[Cless]

for me it would be xenogears or grandia
