Alright everybody, whats the best game ever (yes tag counts).

For me right now. It's Morrowind, so far I've dreamed about it every night. Stupid CLiff Racers wont leave me alone even when I'm sleepig!!!!:D

How ya describe best?

So hard...

Most timeless? Most captivating? One I have fondest memories of?

In no order...

Kings Quest III
Max Payne
Below the Root

Morrowind....
Um, its the only one I can think of right now.

Each person has they're own discription of "The Best Game Ever". espacialy since I'm not limiting this to video games. Hell I'm sure that from one day to the next some of our choices will change.

Contra all the way. That game is too good. I also like Madden '95 and Gameday '98.>_< And who can forget Metroid!


I like those the best. I like team game a lot.

Manu- I have never heard of those games before. What consoles were those on?

im not sure if its the best of all time, but bionic commando for the NES was pretty awesome and it usually doesnt get the praise that it should. i think it all comes down to the contemporary technological capabilities, so there is no "one best game." like quake I was a big deal when it came out, but now if you go back and look at it it doesnt seem like anything special. and today everyone gets caught up with the hype of fancy graphics that more often than not the games just flat suck. just take a look at all the lame 1st person shooters out there that are just ripoffs of each other. i thought zelda: ocarina of time for the N64 was pretty awesome plot and graphic-wise for its day.

sheesh i thougt for sure shogun would say Tekken!!!

SOCOM
Quake Arena
reversi
and

Hide the Salami:D

Doom



the board game Axis and Allies

Chess..(i used to teach chess as a job)

Magic: The Gathering

Day of defeat the halflife mod


Final Fantasy 2 (US)

Nodoz-

All PC baby! Mostly older games.

But you're damn right on Contra. Will (SmilingJack) and I used to play that ALL the time when we were growing up.

Peak of video game designing came with the release of Super Mario Bros. 3.

Stuck with 2D but ripe with secrets, playability for multiple age groups, appeal to a broad audience. Familiar controls but more options.

Best. Game. Ever.

Justin

Civilisation II or III.

The most replayable games ever, bar none.

What about Pocket Pool!?!? LOL

Best Game Ever would have to be (I can't believe some of you haven't said this yet)

Duke Nukem 3D

Graphics weren't the greatest, but the gameplay was the best.

You barely got SOCOM!! well I do like Tekken and hope to get big things for it too. But I don't see anything beating Contra.

I'm a VERY biased toward the RTS style games. My favorites are:

5)Master of Orion
4)Warcraft III
3)Age of Empires
2)Age of Empires II
1)Empire Earth

-Gomtuu

For me the best is definatly delta Force but only the multiplayer side of it. There are a lot of things to dislike about it but the good sides to it definatly outweigh the bad . Plus the friends you make playing usually turn out to be pretty cool people to chat with

Hey not bad. Delta is a definate. I wonder how I forgot that one?

Cool pic man.

thank you. Speaking of that anyone here try out the new black hawk down game novalogic put out in the delta force series? seems to be prety cool.

GTA Vice City rules all.

No. PS2 only for now, may come out on PC later.

Deus Ex.

Doom.. because it started the FPS genre


my fav I play now is Half Life and all it's mods (CS, TFC, DOD, Firearms etc)


on consoles, I all of the EA sports games.. Madden, NHL, NBA etc... and Nascar

Originally posted by TheGreatMonkey

I know. With the new Unreal engine too...drool.

CS
Perfect Dark
i'd put money on GTA Vice..got it today, i'll tell you in a week

Perfect Dark (Totally!)
And Contra.

And yes, Vice City, you cannot beat popping a wheeling on a chopper while doing a drive by on a hooker, you just can't.

i think morrowind is the best, because its a big game and challenging, and you cant just beat the game and say "wow im never gonna play this again"

Ah what a bunch of weenies!

I have one word for all of you: PONG.

lol, Pong

Yeah pong rules!!! :)

Just last week. Saturday to be exact, my wifey got me a neat little gizmo from Avon. It was an old Atari joystick that hooks up to the tv and plays ten old Atari 2600 games, Centipede, Missle Command, Gravitar, Asteroids, Pong, Breakout, Circus Atari, Adventure, Real Sports Volleyball, and Yars Revenge. Kewl stuff.

Well, along the linse of Mario 2 or 3, which were not bad, I have to go with Sonic the Hedgehog.

There was a game that came along LATE in the Sega Genesis lifecylce called Gunstar Heroes. The first use of multiple sprite bosses as well as tricks to make the old Genny display more than the 64 colors it was capable of. It was a killer game.

Silpheed for the Sega CD was awsome in many ways. FMV cinema shots, awsome sound track and great special effects. Only problem was the gameplay SUCKED.

But, I am rambling now. I'll shut up.

I'd like to retract my vote for CS (little punks).

I may be dating myself with some of these, but these are the games I "couldn't put down."

Console
Legend of Zelda - on an original Nintendo
Contra
Metroid
Halo


PC
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
Diablo
Diablo II
Age of Empires
Age of Empires II

Awww yeah baybee Resident Evil Series:D:D:D

Giants
Halo
Heretic 2
UT

MOHAA and Spearhead
BF 1942

GTA Vice is awesome, it didn't leave my PS2 for about 2 weeks after I bought it... NBA Live 2003 (the freestyle control is simply amazing)... and for my fav old school games, who can forget Tecmo Bowl and Mike Tyson's Punch Out?

Squalo: as far as consoles go, GTA is a PS2 exclusive, through 2005 I believe. The only other platform the GTA series is available on now is the PC.

Chess
Half-life(I had nightmares of Braincrabs)
Deus-Ex
Day of Defeat
Soldier of Fortune 1 & 2(2 has the best killing graphics of alltime:Ghoul2)

Hey man Soldier of Fortune is a kick A$$ game I agree. Lots of fun to play.

Soldier of fortune 2 or GTA3.
They get my vote :cool:

Dude Deus-Ex rules....the sad thing is I didn't hear about it untill I got a free copy of it with my sound card...oh well, I can't wait for Deus-Ex 2 to come out.

The Legend of Zelda rules! :)
For some reason I love Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.
(I just picked up a PS2, so...)

There was a flight sim game in the early 90s called "Aces of the Pacific". Extremely realistic yet really fun--a Zero only took a few shots to take down, but if you flew one, they'd turn on a dime, etc. etc. And you didn't need to learn all the bullshoy that's required of today's rather stupid flight sims.

I don't think a day goes by and I don't at least play five minutes of "Championship Manager".

http://gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2003/news/01/17/cm4_box.jpg

And, on the old 8-bit Nintendo, "Super Dodge Ball".

http://image.allmusic.com/00/agg/screen250/drs300/s339/s33968znjav.jpg

Three pretty timeless games.

Super Mario Bothers!

Over all, No game and it's modifacations I think can compare with Half-Life... People have been playing it Straight since 1998...

I used to Play the Hell out of the Grand Turismo's
You can't go Wrong with GTA:3 or GTA:VC

Heh heh heh, when I first got into next gen gaming i purchased an Atari Jaguar, just so I could play Aliens vs. the Predator, later that same night (after a 3 hour marathon of gameplay) my wife had to wake me up from a terrible nightmare of being attacked by an Alien!! I even had my hands and arms covering my face flailing about!!:D

Yeah I can relate bro!!!

Game induced dream/ightmares...yeah I've been there...hmm new thread Idea...yay.

Ultima Online
Dr. Mario
Tekken 3
The Sims - House Party
GTA 3

And there's this awesome PS game, something Blade, say you whack someone's left arm with a sword... that arm actually becomes useless :)

Oh GOD I was SOOO addicted to Ultima online for a couple years.
played on the Great Lakes server.

I cant believe I put so much time into that game.

i thoroughly enjoyed halo, and morrowind *even though i'm not done with morrowind yet, heck almost no one is ;) *

Same here. It was an amazing game, but it was much too detailed, so it kind of sucked you inand you stopped living properly. :( I was on Catskills.

One night I decided to max out my stats and GM all my skills... I was in front of the computer for over a day, without leaving the desk at all. And then I decided to kill a dragon without magic or armour, that took a long time :)

'Zounds! T'was a medieval nightmare!




PFDarkside - YES! It was Bushido Blade! Man, I loved that game! :D They don't make it anymore. :(

yeah UO was nuts.

I would commute into the city two hours.. work 8 hours.. then commute back hom3 2 hours
only to spend the rest of the night chopping wood to make bows and arrows for my guild mates. dont ask me how it happened but my character made bows that were INCREDIBLY powerful. I think it was some sort of bug. People were constatly having me make crossbows for them.
Anyway.. i would do that.. then go hunting around for regs all night.. and then as I was about to enter a dungeons to actualy have some fun 10 PK'ers would jump out and kill me and my two buddies before we even knew what happened and they'd take all our stuff.

I cant believe i played that game so long.

I was sitting around the campfire the other night (drunk) and thought a game, two games. I can't remember one name though.

They were both on Apple IIE, atleast thats where i played them.

One was Oregon

And the other was 'Moon Patrol' or something. You were driving this tank thing, it shot up and forward at the same time. You jumped holes and shot rocks and spaceships. Anyone know?

was it master blaster?

In my book, it's got to be Balder's Gate - loved all of them!

Halo : playing with 16 poeple...

oh yes, 8 on 8 sidewinder capture the flag with all vehicles on and slayer free for all at hang em high

Originally posted by Wooden Sp00n

Could have been, not sure.

In no order

Tex Murphy detective series.
Halo.
Street Fighter II Turbo.
Moo I and II.
Heroes of Might and Magic series.
Leisure Suit Larry series.
DOA series.

It's not out yet,
they had trouble with the software and pushed back the release date so we will see it on the store shelfs sometime in the beginning of march.
I for one will be one of the first people in line to get it!!!!!

I love all the delta force games!!!!!!

Donny:D

Greatest PC game of all time:

Commander Keen.

HALFLIFE and it's mod's, without a doubt....

Undoubtedly still the best FPS ever made, it's the most commonly played online game, even though it's almost 5 years old....

Commander Keen was a first person shooter! Sort of!

...Okay so it was a platform game, but it rocked!

Damnit, you kids today with your modern, high powered doo-dads...

PC-CounterStrike
Oldschool PC-Day of the Tentacle
XBOX-Splinter Cell
PS2-Guitar Freaks
ARCADE-Tie, DDR or XMEN
CUB-Metroid, duh
PSX-Gran Turismo2
NES-Mario 3
SNES-Zelda
SEGA-Sonic the hedgehog
DC-Crazy Taxi, or Hydro Thunder
64-Ocarina of Time, or Goldeneye

my best game ever was "Blades of Steel" for nintendo. Also Mercs was a very good game too.

Yeah Morrowind all the way!! I played that game for so long that I actually began hearing noises or the cries of monsters from it. I wa sitting in class one day and I heard a cliff racer, whoa! I scared the hell outta' me!

Although, I played it for so long that I finished almost everything. Plus, I somehow lost Keening and I couldn't find it so I can't finish the main quest. I'm going to wait awhile to play again, because i hate to do stuff over.

Tennis. I used to love playing tennis. I've spent many an hour out on the clay.

As far as non-physical games go, I'd have to say some of the best times I ever had were playing pen and paper D&D back in the day. Dorky? Yes. Fun? Hell yes.

Video gamewise, I'd have to say Ultima Online back when it was first released. No game since - including UO itself - has so well captured the feeling of a true virtual world.

And single player video games? Twisted Metal 2 for the original Playstation. As far as pure fun goes, it couldn't be beat. Though Silent Hill was really an excellent game. It honest to goodness scared the piss outta me and damn near gave me nightmares. The very definition of hell would be being trapped in that town.

Ok, I'll stop typing now...

Tough question... I'd include any of the following:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Goldeneye
Space Quest series
Civilization
SimCity
Metroid: Prime

Final Fantasy VII....might not have the best graphics today but at one point it had the best and the games storyline is perfect.

Video game?

Super Dodge Ball, 8-bit Nintendo, or arcade.

I could'nt name just one.

Tomb Raider
Resident Evil
The Sims
Tetris
Myst
http://www.feebleminds-gifs.com/women.gif

my best game ever GTA3

There was this game I used to have on a 32-bit Acorn (!!) called Hmasters - where you were an alien hamster sent - with a hammer twice your size - to kill every living thing on the planet. Best game I ever played.

Also, anyone here a fan of Elastomania? I love that game - especially the create your own bit.

More modern games:

PC - starcraft (+Broodwar expansion pack)
Console - Any of the Gran Tourismos or GTA: VC

Oh yeah, and to whoever said it - I love Bushido blade!


Peace

Mark

Europa Universalis II ... :p

yes Im old, arcade galagar or donkey kong.and galaxy.

Here's just a few of my favs from down the years:

Asteroids (Arcade)
Road Rash (Mega Drive / Genesis)
Super Mario Kart (SNES)
Nights (Saturn)
GTA (PS1)
Virtua Tennis (Dreamcast)
Rez (Dreamcast)
Vice City (PS2)
Halo (Xbox)

It would have to be Thief or Tomb Raider.

Entire Final Fantasy series, hands down.

Civilization 3-plw

Two of my favorites for PC are Heretic ii, and Sanitarium.
I really enjoy the complete mobility of the character in Heretic ii, made available through the use of a mouse-look placed within the game engine.
As far as Sanitarium, what can I say.
A game where you wake up in an asylum with your head bandaged, and through the three cd roms you try and figure out who you are and how you got there while drifting in and out of drug-induced periods of hallucinations.
What fun!
Great graphics.

Holy cow! That sounds like an awesome game! :eek:

There are 6 console games that I spent a great deal of my childhood, and my more recent free time, playing:

HALO (Mmm...system link, multiplayer!) Super Mario Kart
Street Fighter II
Super Mario 3
Super Techmo Bowl
Contra

hmm for me there is no one game that is the best and it's really broken down into categories.
best nintendo games were like zelda, mario bros, donkey kong, paper boy, mickey mouse, ghostbusters, contra, mega man, bubble bobble, kid icarus,
best snes games- mario bros 3, hmm i know there are way more but would have to get back to you on it
best sega for me was sonic
best n64 was zelda, mario, banjo and kazooie, smash bros, mario party
best dream cast was soul caliber
best ps2 so far is ffx, kingdom hearts, vice city, etc
the best cube is mario, and i havent played many others

man and thats just console games!
computer wise i liked, ugh, so many- kings quest, shivers, seventh guest, duke nukem, myst, warcraft/starcraft, i sold my soul to eq for a year, diablo 2, vampires masquerade, umm and i can't remember anymore right now :D

WipeoutXL and Twisted Metal 2 for the original Playstation. I have very fond memories of those two games. Oh, and Tekken 2 as well.

Ultima Online was a great game before the PvP whiners ruined it. To this day, no game has come as close to creating a true virtual community.

Deus Ex for the PC was great.

1)Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
a.) tied with Legend Of Zelda: Majoras Mask

2)GTA III
a.) tied with GTA Vice City (If you do everything in Vice City its over 100 hours of gameplay easy)

3) Counter-Strike (Jesus tap dancing Christ I wish I could end my addiction to it)

4)Age of Empires II

5) Baldurs Gate
a.) tied with Baldurs Gate II

Doom
Riven
Myst
Morrowind
mariokart:)
magic
ALL ZELDA GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(plus dif console )
Conker's bad fur day (rareware game...very funny)

MASTER OF MAGIC! :D

And the only reason (probably) no one's mentioned it is that you haven't played it. I could play that game for ever.


If it didn't keep crashing, that is :mad:

In No Particular Order

Deus Ex (original)
Splinter Cell (original)
Zork: Nemisis
Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed
Grand theft Auto: Vice city
Half life

Dr.

I'm replaying Deus Ex atm... God is that game gorgeous !
Now if someone would just make a remake of is, keeping the scenarios and mechanics but with, say, Deus Sx II Physical and Graphical engines, and an improved ennemy AI,that'd be heaven on earth ...

They ought to improve the stealth aspect as well - the possibility of a little Thief-style sneaking wouldn't go amiss.

Battlefield Vietnam for sure! I am totally addicted to it.

SoCom 2 ...... Nuff said :nice:

Gta 3

Far Cry Rulez!!!

If we look back a little ways, we'll see Super Mario 64, THE MOST revolutionary game of all time, who could forget that? Plus, if you sat there, he would sleep! Yaaay, but also, for the PS, anyone heard of Jade Cocoon? Sorta like pokemon, but a little different cuz YOU can fight too. Driver was a kickass game, flyin down streets gettin chased by psycho cops. A more recent game, Metal Arms: Glitch in the Sytem, is a cross-breed between Ratchet and Clank (great PS2 game) and Halo (awesome FPS). It's really funny, give it a shot, available for the next gen systems, and they NEED to make it for PC, need 16 people to play THAT. Ocarina of Time, rediscovered by me, another classic! The Super Smash Bros. and it's sequel were the only fighting games of their classes, and they both were actually kind of funny. Imagine, Nintendo's classic characters, beating the s*** out of eachother!:P

Over and OUT!

Devil May Cry 3 (soon to be Special Edition) and Smash Bros Melee.

FPS: F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon)
MMOG: Final Fantasy XI: Online Chains Of Promethia
RTS: Act of War: Direct Action
Raceing: Need For Speed Most Wanted
Fighting: Tekken 4

I dunno what you would place this in but Grand Theft Auto San Andrea's.

I just find the fact that almost all of the "best game ever" responses have been video games to be a sad, sad thing :nonono:

If you want, I can nominate Puerto Rico, and Hannibal : Rome vs Carthage ...

Current favorite game is RuneScape (MMORPG) but all time favorites would have to be Morrowind: Elder Scrolls and Final Fantasy VIII

Call of Duty 1 and 2, MOHAA this first series not the Pacific, Quake 3 and Half Life 2

Everyone Had Some Great Choices, But I Didnt Hear Jamesbond Golden Eye A.k.a. 007. It May Not Be The Best Of All Time But It Is By Far The Best Game Of Its Times

Everyone Had Some Great Choices, But I Didnt Hear Jamesbond Golden Eye A.k.a. 007. It May Not Be The Best Of All Time But It Is By Far The Best Game Of Its Times, SO MAYBE THE BEST OF ALL TIME, HALO 2

ah elder scrolls oblivion, beside the bugs, everything is awesome.

Some of my all time favorites: Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy VII, Starsiege Tribes.

I just find the fact that almost all of the "best game ever" responses have been video games to be a sad, sad thing :nonono:- True, Junta is definitely the best boardgame around, just so people know :D

Let's add Caylus and El Grande for a tetrarchy made of Win and Gold. Untill it becomes a pentrarchy, ie as soon as I get to try Tigris & Euphrates

Blood Omen 2

Top 5 Most Hours in a Video Game for me are:

5. Street Fighter 2 SNES (Childhood Memories)
4. GranTurismo 2 PS2 (I bought this game 3 times)
3. Perfect Dark N64 (GoldenEye on crack)
2. GTA: Vice City PS2 (I can still hear the cheesy music)
1. GoldenEye N64 (nothing comes close to this)

DOOM 2
Duke Nuke'm
Command and Conquer 1.0
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
Call Of Duty
Delta Force 2 online - I was the bast sniper on that site.

way, way, way back in the 80's: Stand up vector graphic Star Wars game.

If you like action, you can't beat it.

Tropico. I love Cuban culture. I love being a dictator. So...there you go :D

Also:
Icewind Dale 2
Neverwinter Nights 1 (the second SUCKS)
Starcraft (the shear number of games offered in multiplayer...staggering)

Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri. Been playing it like lots of times, and still like it.

Armored Core (Playstation Game) Got the first two.

Socom 1 and 2 kick ass, Socom 3 and Combined Assault not so much.

Budokai tenkaichi 2 all the way

Umm weren't you just in the WoW thread calling us names and yet you're a gamer too.

Congratulations on being a hypocrite :nice:

I had the most fun playing Hero's Quest 1 (later renamed Quest for Glory) and Final Fantasy 2 (US) as a kid.

Vintage PC really are awesome, and it's not just nostalgia talking. You play any of the old games recently?

Not really. I haven't been able to really get into games since I stopped playing EverQuest several years ago. I tried playing Oblivion, but I found it boring...

Just started playing StarCraft again - haven't played much multiplayer with it before, but now that I have... it deserves a nomination here at the very least!

I've seen people on Wow.. They get WAY to obsessed, way to fast. Maybe not everyone's like that, but alot of people are. Anyway, because someone plays videogames, but thinks people who are obsessive about video games are nerds, does not make them a hypocrite.



Congratulations on being stupid :nice:

Spits; be civilized or we'll wash your mouth out with soap!


I played WoW for ten days and one month (the ten days you can get for free from a friend and the month you get with the game) - I have no idea how people get so obsessed over it, but I think it's the kind of thing that's not fun unless you play it all the time. It's an unhealthy game, I think.

I loved the graphics, though.

I wanted to play it at one point in my life- and I got nothing against people who do- but I think people who are too abbsessd over it need to kill their computer. The people at school who play it literaly never talk about anything eles. NOTHING.

I completely agree, they should be out climbing trees with the rest of us.

Now that I think about it, it's been a while since I climbed myself a tree - I should look in to it.

People aren't nerds or anything just because they play a game :/

I'm gonna say the best video game would be The Legend of Zelda twilight princess for the wii.

CS 1.5 anyone... anyone??

And then when you move away from the retro trend thats going on here...

The Call of Duty 4 beta was a thing to behold...

*Puts up arms to shield from flames*

Best Game Ever = Banjo Kazooie.


(and FF7)

SECOND SIGHT. Great 3rd person. I have it for the gamecube. my friend has it for his x box.

How ya describe best?

So hard...

Most timeless? Most captivating? One I have fondest memories of?

In no order...

Kings Quest III
Max Payne
Below the Root

Kings Quest III!!! I haven't thought about those games in years!!

Remind me, is Kings Quest 3 the one where you start in that Wizard blokes house. He keeps teleporting in and telling you to feed his chickens etc.
I'd say Kings Quest VI was the best from that series!

As for my favourite game of all time, it's got to be Bioshock.
Oblivion being a close second, and probably Civilization IV taking third!

GTA Vice City rules all.

I love all GTA's (GTA Vice City and all the GTA games after that)
I don't really like GTA III
But my fave games are:
GTA IV
GTA San Andreas
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
:nice::nice::nice::nice::nice::nice:

COD...FTW for sure :)
