What is the game you'll always remember?

One of the best games ever. use to regularly get into competitions over this game to see who could get the highest scores doing 'Specials' ie been able to clear stages without throwing a single ninja star!!

streets of rage and golden axe. i remember these on the sega magadrive. i must have only been about 6 or 7 then it was ps1 which would have been rayman, Colin mcMrae or tekken 4.

G.K. · 25-05-2011 10:16pm

Command and Conquer: Renegade

Adamantium · 25-05-2011 10:39pm

Pokemon Yellow ..... after 180 hours and countless exchanges( curses,****s and wonky link cables, no wifi here)with primary school classmates as to how "I just wanted to fill the Pokedex and I swear i'll trade it back".............all original 151 pokemon were caught!

One of those mythical gaming moments I couldn't believe actually happened!:D

also during 2 player battles or trades, remember the physical effort involved by us in trying to keep the link cable from disconnecting and possibly effing up your one game save! "You did that" "jesus no i didn't!"

Great music

Also Pokemon Silver is another classic love the intro

My favorite three were Super Mario on the Gameboy, Crash Bandicoot on the PlayStation and this really cool Batman game on the PC -you could create clips and movie scenes of crime and such.

tallus · 25-05-2011 10:57pm

Kick off, and Kick off 2 by Anco.

Both played on the Amiga 512+ and Commodore 64.

Class soccer game, my brother and I used to have epic matches.

admiralofthefleet · 25-05-2011 11:12pm

mortal kombat 2 on the snes
donkey kong country on the snes
zelda on the old game boy, the snes and the N64
goldeneye

Hours and hours spent playing Gauntlet, and you couldn't save the game :mad:

kieran26 · 25-05-2011 11:35pm

Has to be Command an Conquer or Red alert 2 great games

jive · 26-05-2011 12:00am

Holy sh!t I had no idea what golden axe was so I googled it and i nearly nostalgia'd into a coma.
Sega - Alex Kidd
N64 - Golden Eye
PS1 - Toy soldiers
PS2 - GTA Vice City
Gameboy - Pokémon (still awesome)
Xbox - Halo
PC - Counter Strike
Xbox360 - Any recent Fifas have plagued my life

but MOST IMPORTANTLY
Dreamcast - Toy Commander

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HjVbEZgtjU

Arguably the best game I ever played. Nobody really knows about it though

Never heard of it, but it looks incredible. The type of game I would have loved

Gummy Panda · 26-05-2011 1:01am

Warcraft 2

Sl!mCharles · 26-05-2011 1:05am

Goldeneye and Crash Team Racing.

aidan24326 · 26-05-2011 1:07am

The one that sticks in the memory for me is Alex Kidd, many an hour I spent playing that.

+1 for Golden Axe aswell.

Blows my mind how few people know about it!! Graphics were class at the time too but the gameplay was soooo good. One of the few games that actually had good single player and multiplayer.

admiralofthefleet · 26-05-2011 1:34am

i loved the really old sim games as well, like sim city 2000 and 3000, and the original theme park game

Agricola · 26-05-2011 1:45am

Has to be Metal Gear Solid on PS1. Remember reading CVG magazine in the months leading up to its release. The journalists back then were wetting themselves over this game and the pre-launch hype sort of passed me by. Then a friend of mine picked it up and we spent a Sunday playing it. Absolutely legendary game. All the fourth wall breaking stuff still sticks in the mind to this day.

BESman · 26-05-2011 1:54am

Super Mario 3 is probably the best game of all time.

Goldeneye multiplayer - I still know the complex map better than my house

Resident Evil - simply for the laughable voice acting "you were almost a Jill sandwich"

Anyone play Thief on the PC? It was released around 1999 and its my favourite game ever.

And anyone that owned a Sega was a loser.

Xivilai · 26-05-2011 1:55am

Simcity 2000, Mario Bros 3, Supermario World, A Link to the past, Quagmire an old mac platform game, MDK, Pathways Into Darkness and quite a few others

AgileMyth · 26-05-2011 1:55am

Goldeneye and Zelda on the N64. Still plug it in the odd time!

Ganymede Glow · 26-05-2011 1:58am

Road Rash!

HavingCrack · 26-05-2011 2:08am

I can't believe there are no Time Crisis 1 and 2 fans out there

a brilliant but tough game, finding the magic cape was a nightmare

DjFlin · 26-05-2011 2:33am

This thread just made me think about The Game.....

Abe's Oddysee, Now there was a game and a half. Also, Point Blank 2 on PS1.

None of my friends remember either of them. I need new friends...

I remember Abe's odyssey. Abe was an anthropomorphic piece of snot. An asshole.

The game I'll never forget is Street Fighter 1. Yes - 1.

Delta_Raven1 · 26-05-2011 2:42am

gta 3

sh__93 · 26-05-2011 2:46am

gotta be pokemon yellow on the gb colour!
that game made my childhood

callaway92 · 26-05-2011 2:48am

Metal Gear Solid as a young fella.

Really was something else! Best game ever at the time, and still the best. Stands the test of time so so well with its story alone.

I would bust a load in my trousers if they released an HD version of it on the PS3.

Multiple endings, so many different characters, so many stories amongst each of them. In a weird way, thought me a lot...probably more than school could have. Such an intelligent game. Good for the head.

Cianos · 26-05-2011 2:48am

I was off school for a couple of days and completed legend of zelda on the SNES with 3 saves. A friend who lived two doors up, who actually has a tattoo of the triforce was sick because he beat it with 8 saves or something before me

Tragamin2k2 · 26-05-2011 3:01am

final fantasy 7, ill still be listening to the music from it when im 70

ColSheehan · 26-05-2011 3:07am

N64: Goldeneye & Super Mario 64
Gameboy: Pokemon Red, Super Mario Land and Yoshi

These games sure made my childhood, and I still play them :pac:

stiffler123 · 26-05-2011 4:01am

Teeange Mutant Ninja Turtles on the nes was awesome. Also final fantasy 8 and MGS.

Snappy the Moose · 26-05-2011 4:03am

Backdoor bandits 6..The movie edition.

Larianne · 26-05-2011 4:06am

Jet Set Willy! Just coz of the name and you started in the toilet.

Feckin' bastard. Could never finish that game. :cool:

How could so many of yas play Golden Eye? The graphics made me feel ill.

Funglegunk · 26-05-2011 5:36am

Flashback for the Megadrive is one game that I'll never forget, and still a very playable game today. Basically a sci-fi Prince of Persia, but far superior to PoP (imho!).

Anybody remember Cyborg Justice (also Megadrive)? The only game for the MegaDrive where you can rip off another robots laser arm, attach it to yourself and then blast him with it.

May as well rattle off a list or two:

MegaDrive:
Sonic 2 - Still remember the "3-d" bonus levels, and the slot machine things in the Casino zone.
Road Rash - Damn you P.E No.1!
Desert Strike - The only game I actually managed to convince my Dad to play.
James Pond 2 - This is a game I can still play for hours on end.
Streets of Rage 2 - I have the soundtrack on my laptop *ashamed face*.
Italia '90 - Lobbing the ball made a big 'bwof' sound, and the ball sprite got larger to give the illusion of height haha.

Playstation:
Tekken - I thought I was getting Doom for the Snes, but got a PS1 with Tekken instead. My jaw nearly hit the floor Christmas morning. I can still kick ass with Paul Phoenix.
Destruction Derby 2 - Hours spent trying to spin cars around by driving into them just so. Anybody remember the level with a sheer drop on one side?
Final Fantasy VII - Already said, but this is one of the finest games ever made. Also, the best soundtrack in a game to date.

Hahah used to love that game, smashing kunts with bats.

anyone remember rush 2 on N64? Ramps and **** with the cars was so good

Cravez · 26-05-2011 8:29am

Very early on? Probably as someone mentioned: Flimbo's Quest on the C64. Also did anyone ever play Cauldron 1 & 2 on the C64? You were a bouncing pumpkin that had to collect artefacts in a castle, that was great as well!

Later on in the years: Sonic, Golden Axe, Alien Storm, Virtual On, X-com Apocalypse, Might & Magic VI,Final Fantasy VII, Shenmue.

Also, Fiendish Freddies Big Top-o-fun on the C64 is what gave me my fear of clowns & the circus

stupidusername · 26-05-2011 8:34am

I completely forgot about Flimbos quest and Freddys circus! I know what you mean about being scared,that **** was just creepy.

8-bit Circus music was not exactly the most relaxing thing to listen to

. Also the events themselves you had to partake in it were just very surreal and almost kind of sadistic in a way (being poked by floating trident men as you had to successfully dive into the tiniest bucket of water?). The judges in the game also freaked me out big time.

stupidusername · 26-05-2011 8:48am

Yeah feckin hell! Did the bucket keep getting smaller? I knew it wasn't just me being freaked out.

The jump got higher and then the thing you had to dive into got smaller each time I think!

Chuckie Egg on my amstrad. Loved it.:D:D:D

iregk · 26-05-2011 9:37am

Just recalling some of the C64 & NES games.

C64:
Rick Dangerous
Flimbo's quest
IK+
Leader board golf
Kevin Toms Football Manager (before Championship Manager, before everything there was this gem)

NES:
4x4 off road racing (it had a proper name but can't recall)
Duck hunt, when I found out the controllers controlled the ducks my brother never hit another one in his life!

A few have mentioned Street Fighter 2 however thats a given so lets ignore that.

Pompey Magnus · 26-05-2011 9:42am

Hands up who remembers Granny's Garden? It was my first experience of a computer game a long, long time ago:

kellso81 · 26-05-2011 9:46am

Not one mention of Tomb Raider on the whole thread. Groundbreaking at time, memory prob sullied by so many crap sequels but 1 and 2 were awesome!

GrizzlyMan · 26-05-2011 9:48am

Solstice on the NES, best 8-bit intro music ever, give a few seconds, quality:D

problemchimp · 26-05-2011 10:04am

Leinster v Northampton
Ireland v Italy USA '94
