[OhioDude]

Just talked about this game in another thread.

The game I enjoyed more than any other I've played before or since has to be System Shock 2. Graphics are so-so, but the atmosphere and sound are fantastic. Plenty of chills up and down the spine playing that one.

Ultima 7.

 

[Generalen]

Best right now Quake2-Ground Zero
Best played?? zelda on snes is damn funny (can play for hours)

 

[Dark4ng3l]

Hmmmm Probably starcraft. I passed up games like quake and quake2(ive never played either) and also halflife because I was too busy playing starcraft. I got into halflife in late 2000 though(better late than never).

 

[nirgis]

Best?
On what basis?

I'd say a game that I really liked was the classic, civilization

Right now its probably starcraft

 

[Atlantean]

[RussianSoldier]

Command & Conquer Series:

C&C Red Alert 2

 

[gplracer]

Thats easy look at my name. Grand Prix Legends is simply the most realistic racing sim ever. For me that makes it the best. Of course it is not the best for all. Some people do not want realism in the way it is offered in the game. They do not want to spend hundreds of hours getting better. The just want a game to play around with.

I thought Star Trek Elite Force was good too. I felt like I was in the tv show.

My favorite old games were probably the Wizardry games. Kinda dates me a little huh. I remember having detailed maps I made, probably still do in some box. Hard to say what my favorites since then are. I enjoyed the first Star Wars and Tie fighter. I really love playing all the mech games. Of course Doom and Doom II ruled. Quake is ok, but after logging many hours on Doom II. Just wasn't all that cool. Unreal was the first "new" shooter style game. I played a few flight sims starting with one of my favorites, F-19 Stealth fighter and its sequel F117a Stealth Fighter and then F-15 and Falcon 4.0. But the game I have played the most is Need for Speed, High Stakes. Second to that was Ultima Online.

Well enough ranting.

NFL2K1. I thought Axelay had cool music, but I guess that wouldn't really enshrine the game.

 

[Yoshitoshi]

Axelay.. yeah, but even better when played to SL2's 'Way In My Brain' CD single.. tracks 3 and 4.

Supersprint on the ST was pretty cool, but Mariokart on the SNES did it for me just for the comedy factor on multiplayer.

Top game of all time has to be Uridium on the C64. Still just as good on an Emu.

Yoshi.

 

[Whitecloak]

alpha centauri forever

 

[vash]

I'm an FPS junkie and Half-Life was definitely my favorite on the PC. I like Doom/Doom2/Quake, etc, but Half-Life's story was good.

For the console, it's has to be Metal Gear Solid. Hands down my favorite games from all my consoles.

Runner ups are Capcom vs. SNK on the DC. Damn I love 2D fighters!
