Tigris Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Top 5 Best Ever - best games you've ever played Top 5 Memorable - remember playing back in the day, maybe not the best, but extremely cool for a short while [u]Top 5 Best Ever[/u] 1. Age of Empires 2 - PC 2. Twisted Metal 2 - PS2 3. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - XBOX 360 4. Goldeneye 007 - N64 5. Socom 2 - PS2 I remember Twisted Metal 2 was the first car game where I wasn't confined to a snake track... I remember playing in Hong Kong and turning down a street and thinking, "WTF, no way!!" It was amazing. Socom 2 was my first online game outside of the PC. It laid the building blocks of ruining my social life. Goldeneye was obviously a fan favorite at the time and Oblivion's graphics made me turn from a PS guy to an Xbox guy. [u]Top 5 Most Memorable[/u] 1. Donkey Kong Country - SUPER NES 2. LightForce - NES 3. Zelda: The Ocarina of Time - N64 4. Earthworm Jim (the first one) - SUPER NES 5. Mike Tyson's Punch Out I just get a good feeling when I think about these Most Memorable games. Not that I even liked them the most... they just take me back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigris Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Twisted Metal is a PS1 game, my bad. Also, Crash Bandicoot (PS1-2, can't remember) Golden Axe (SEGA GENESIS) Mario Kart (SUPER NES) Little Nemo the Dream Master (NES I THINK) I also remember this Flintstones game and this game with the Domino's guy... those were fun.

akiliMVP Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I haven't played a lot of video games since I was a teenager. But Twisted Metal, Mario Kart (64), Goldeneye and Super Mario were my crack growing up. The original Resident Evil also kicked a lot of ass. Also Mortal Combat, NBA Jam, Sonic and Joe and Mac were the bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enon Bengal Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 In no particular order: Diablo II (first multiplayer game me and the kids played together) Heroes of Might & Magic III (still play it occasionally) Baldur's Gate II (finished it with three or four different characters) World of Warcraft (me and the kids played this together for at least a year) Medieval Total War II (the ultimate 'one more turn' game) Honorable mention: Might and Magic series Age of Empires II Wolfenstien series Sierra's Football Pro series - it was Madden before Madden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vol_Bengal Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Tecmo Super Bowl kicked all kinds of ass... Mario Lemeiux's Hockey (Sega Genesis)... and I wasn't even a hockey fan - just liked that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigris Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I remeber hockey for nintendo... you could fight and everything I believe.

I doubt I even put 2 hours in it... that's how bad I thought it sucked. Tomb Raider was fun for the PS1. Lara Croft's house and training course was so much fun.

|Bunghole| Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I guess you'd have to break it down between consoles and PC's, too. And maybe even arcade games. Best and most memorable PC Games I've played: Battlefield 1942 Call Of Duty Series Bioshock 1 and 2 Fallout 3 Crysis Console Games: Madden Football in all its system iterations Atari 2600 Combat Intellivision D&D All the Lego games (Star Wars, Indy Jones, Batman) Donkey Kong Arcade Games: Donkey Kong The Gauntlet Missile Command Defender Star Castle Asteroids Punch Out Battlezone Space Invaders Galaga Mortal Kombat Street Fighter Joust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigris Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Mortal Kombat 3 Kabal... back forward low kick (death spin), walk up... low kick, low kick, high punch, high punch, down and high punch, jump kick in air, back back high punch. Best combo ever in a video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been pretty enjoyable. Very detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 The GTA series..well at least until the last one came out. MLB The show. That game single-handedly makes me want a PS3. Pair that with the fact that Twisted Metal is coming back and I might have to make it happen. COD:WaW is is awesome. MW2..not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Elflocko| Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Atari: Decathlon and Pitfall Coleco: Donkey Kong Arcade: Ajax Commodore 64: Some spy game where if the guy checked the toilet it looked like he was taking a leak. Great fun in '83 or thereabouts. PS1: Resident Evil 1, Resident Evil 2 PS3: I'm just going to stop now as I've already established the fact that I'm old and nothing I say regarding games going forward is relevant...

Not sure about Comm and Conq though. Never played them. A friend in my dorm played the hell out of it, though. I just never got that interested.

Tigris Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Favorite player on Twisted Metal? Outside Minion, of course... THUMPER!! Freeze them, hit them with the power rocket that went straight on your way there, switch to a special, and fry 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
