Im sorry, not quite old but my vote goes to Zelda: Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask, both absolutely breathtaking games. Mass Effect rates a mention but its not old
So hard to pick a best ever, but i must admit Mario kart on the SNES was pretty ground breaking and addictive for me- mode 7 was amazing. Actual real corners to go around rather than the usual "track bends in front of you" But that was such along time ago, so im going with a newish game in Bioshock. The story was totally enthralling. Spent most my time at work daydreaming about how it would unravel and it sure delivered. Actually my co-workers must have got sick of me at talking about the game all day long LOL. I could go on about bioshock forever, shame it had to end.... Quickly mention perfect dark for N64. Spent alot of hours with this one.
Where in the retro gaming thread I assume your asking for the best retro game ever if I'm right I would say Mario is the best game ever on how this game evolve from time to time. Really go crazy for Mario back then.
yeah DOOM is one of the greatest games I've played I remember playing DOOM when I was a kid I'm so scared to walk into a hallway expecting that a monster will show up there. :-D
Hard to narrow down to one. Candidates would be Tie Fighter Dark Forces OpenGL Team Fortress WoW Tribes GTA3 Total Annihilation All groundbreaking and held me playing for a long time.
Doom was amazing! But no one game jumps out for me. I do have some great memories of Pirates on the 64. I loved that one. When it was released again a couple of years ago, it just didn't have the magic of the original. I also loved The Bards Tale III. Man, the hours I sunk into that one!!
I couldn't choose between Elite and System Shock 2 even if you put a gun to my head. Deus Ex gets an honourable mention as well, along with some arcade classics like Defender, Gyruss and Space Invaders.
adventure on the atari alex kid in miracle world for the sms 1 of the nintendo franchise for nes ...but more towards zelda 2 i cant name 1 for snes..theres too many snatcher for megadrive (was on the megacd) n64 wpould definetly be goldeneye psx ..hhmm...again too many to name 1 dreamcast i was always a fan of ready 2 rumble boxing hhmm might have to go through all the games and come back to this 1 is very hard. oh and pc as a star trk fan im gonna have to go with elite force single player...THATS how you make a star trek game. special mention to dues ex and leisure suit larry
I played a lot of Digger when I was younger. Simple but addictive game. Command & Conquer took up a lot of my time too.
Definately Mario Cart, I can't count the hours spent in battle mode or time trial (fierce competition back then within my circle of friends) I still get all goey inside when I here the opening theme for Super Metroid. On PC Tie fighter ranks high, was a HUGE fan of Shogun: Total war, but the civilisation series beats allcomers, my no1 fav game of all time (1 through to 4)
Best game for me will be Metal Gear Solid Series I really love playing this got hooked to it until now.
Call of Duty 2, now in my 3rd year of playing (approx 6-10 hrs per week) and I still enjoy it every time I get out there!!
Secret of monkey island - the best product Lucasarts ever made. Doom - 'nuff said. Wings - A game me and my dad enjoyed playing, can't go past that. Powermonger Elite Pool of Radiance Bards Tale Theres too many classics!
you have to divide it into categories FPS-DOOM Golden-eye runner up RPG-Zelda Ocarina of time Driving NON SIM - Mario Kart SNES (No better) Driving sim - Gran Turismo series (they get better each time) Sandbox - grand theft auto vice city 2-d puzzle - Super Mario Bros 3-d puzzle - Super Mario 64
