Maigo6 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I was addicted to Gran Turismo on the playstation.... That's some game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiksilva Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I will put another vote in for Goldeneye on the N64, great game, which was great fun and certainly has alot of nostalgic value, but very few games have captured my attention like WoW and the Rainbow Six series (despite all of the glitches etc). As for racing I prefer the arcade racer Midnight Club 2 by Rockstar (of GTA fame), but GT on the playstation was great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetchariot Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Donkey Kong, Octopus, Galaga, 1942, Super Mario, Solitaire, Road Rash, Age of Empires, Rise of Nations The only game I ever play on the PS3 is Tiger Woods 2008 (I only just finished 2004, but somehow skipped 4 years). I keep trying (and spending money) on these games like CoD, but I have a very low patience threshold, and once I get stuck on a level I will never play the game again. These kind of games not only cost me the price of a game, but the price of a new controller, and sometimes a window/ vase/ (insert anything valuable here).

Theyreallrubbish Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I gotta hold my hands up to being a gaming nut nut...I love em when I start one I gotta finish it..unless its totally crap of course.. been through all of the Unreal,half life,tomb raider,quake,myst series...liked Morrowind,medal of honour and too many others to list... But....my all time favorite game is Homeworld...story...playability...and the music...simply awesome....!! I still remember the emotional response I had because of the music in Homeworld when you come back from the training mission and find your home planet destroyed. Fav games for me: Civilisation series Final Fantasy VII Planescape: Torment Fallout 1 & 2 Call of Duty 1,2 & 4 Silent Hill 1 & 2 Far Cry Half Life Elite (on the BBC - how he got that all into 32k I will never know!) Doom - when it first came out it was amazing, especially the sound effects of the demons breathing around corners Hearts of Iron 1 & 2 Baldurs Gate series Resident Evil 2 & 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richb2004v2 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I finished Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 last night. It won't make it onto my top games list but it was very good. It seemed to end rather abrubtly though. I started 'Mass Effect' last night. It looks promising. Graphically the BBC Micro was brilliant in its day. I remember 'Frak' and 'Strikers Run'. Great graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalvy Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Who can forget Metal Gear Solid 2 on the PS2! Steathily sneaking up on dudes, snapping their necks, hiding in lockers, shooting up the scenery and exploding fire extinguishers to kill opponents. For pure graphical WOW!! and advanced gameplay it was miles ahead of its time and spawned a thousand copies. It could be argued the likes of Splinter Cell, COD, Rainbow Six series and every other military/stealth game owe their existence to this groundbreaker. Also Donkey Kong Country and Starfox. They truly took their genres that next step forward. As for driving games- Ridge Racer took powersliding to the next step and was truly fun to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekka007 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) oh..Turbo Esprit on the ZX spectrum almost like an early day GTA... (Combat lynx and Tomahawk) oh the days of zx spectrum gaming. I will always remember the copy protection on Tomahawk where u had to hold up a bit of plastic against a symbol on the screen and type the letters......so frustrating.... and combat lynx: The days when u still had to use your imagination a bit while gaming And for all those ex UK ZX Spectrum gamers CRASH magazine online.....memory lane.

BFD Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 My favorite game of all time is Final Fantasy 3/6 (in was called 3 in Canada, but 6 in Asia). In the 'worst videogame thread, I listed Final Fantasy 8, as I just was so utterly disappointed... I might begin to weep again. BFD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paal349 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) The classics, which I still install and play a couple of times a year: X-Com 1 (Ufo: Enemy unknown) Colonization Jagged Alliance 2 Settlers 2 Recent: Total War-series blew my mind. Strategy AND top-down tactics beautifully integrated. Many, many hours wasted..no..INVESTED in front of the computer (who knows when information regarding best use of cavalry against barbarians may be useful).

ariesram74 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 OK well these that i mention ARE not the best ever but they sure were fun - at the time - I had Dungeons and Dragons on my Intellevision console as well as Pitfall! The Intellevision game console is the only one I have ever had and i didn't get into games again until Diablo 2, Civilization 3 and World of Warcraft for PC. As far as most addictive game - World of Warcraft and a close second being Solitaire - LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDon Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I downloaded MAME, its like a emulator that plays the arcade version of games, computer geeks need the actual arcade machine and they download it from the actual big box thing and its exactly the same as playing real thing. It even says insert coin at the begining and you have keys on the keyboard to put coins in and to press start. The nintendo 64 emulator is the best, download project 64 which is the name of the emulator, i think version 1.6 is the best. Then you need to download the roms (games) The emulators I have are MAME Sega mastersystem Sega megadrive (gensis) Nintendo Super Nintendo N64 commodore 64 Amiga 500/600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richb2004v2 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I have been playing GTA IV for a few days now. I was really looking forward to it, and for some it had, or has, the potential to be a contender for ‘best game ever’. As it is I am a little disappointed. It seems a little sterile compared to the past GTA games. Maybe I need to give it more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnpike Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 i'm quite surprised that nobody has mentioned MYST. easy to play and great music. for me it was difficult to get thru it, but not quite so difficult so's you'd want to quit. (although i had to peek in a game solving book just once 'cause i was stuck.) if you've enver played it, pick up a copy, it will have been in the bargain bins for years now, i think it first came out in the early nineties. all in all, a brilliant game. honourable mention to "return to castle wolfenstein" and "duke nukem'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockstar Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 So many great games over the years. GTA 4 is good and looks awsome. Call of Duty 4 has got to be one of the best online games ever. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
