    Well, we've asked what console... now pick a game :)

    For me? Metroid Prime. It's just so stunningly beautiful, playable, atmospheric... and the perfect transformation of the Metroid series into 3D. And the music is fantastic too :)

    Goldeneye or maybe Super Mario World. The first FPS I played. God this forum makes me remmeber some good ol' times.

    Goldeneye... Will be playing Metroid Prime for the first time on Sat though...! :eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,753 ✭✭✭qz


    The Legend of Zelda - The Ocarina of Time. What a game.
    Also Goldeneye kept me occupied for a while!

    I almost forgot: Pokémon on the Game Boy! Yeah, thats probably my favourite. Huge game with loads to complete and unlock.

    (edit: goddamn nostalgia!)

    good stuff :)
    don't expect it to grab you instantly though. it wasn't until the second playthrough that i truely started the heart it.

    For me, it'd have to be Super Metroid, the pinnacle of 2d gaming.
    Superb graphics, moody atmosphere, one of the greatest 16 bit soundtracks and gameplay that has yet to be bested.
    sheer quality... ninty style :)

    I'd have to go with Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on the original GameBoy. It was the first Zelda game I ever played and it just seemed above and beyond anything else on the GameBoy.

    Playing The Minish Cap recently on the GBA I found recaptured alot of the magic I felt playing Link's Awakening.

    Tough decision. Id probably say Goldeneye. Although Super Mario World and the Zelda games are up there too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    Gotta be a tie, I'm afraid - Advance Wars and Mario Kart :)

    Super Metroid for me. As Tman said it is the pinnacle of 2D gaming. Beautiful design, fantastic looking, excellent atmospheic soundtrack and nothing but great fun to play.

    Have to give a mention to Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past which I prefer to Ocarina of Time and Super Mario World which is the best platfirm game ever.

    I loved that cheat! I got all my top 6 fighting Pokémon up to Level 100. I think I can remember my top 6 actually, it was a good mixture of all fighting types.:
    Mew
    Mewtwo
    Blastoise
    Charizard
    Venusaur
    Zapdos.

    Sad, I know!

    Goldeneye or Zelda Ocarina of Time. Although Metroid Prime is really damn good. Stuck on the Omega Pirate though and he's wrecking my head :/


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,979 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I will defend Pokemon to the grave. Despite the moans about nintendo milking the franchise if people actually played them they would realise that they are some of the best games ever made.

    Ah lads, thats not the half of what that cheat could do. You could catch level 140 level pokemon there and then rare candy them to about 255. As long as you didn't get any exp with them they were unbeatable.

    Ah the memories of my level 255 Marowoks and pwning the school in the yard battles.

    You had yard battles! I settled for a quiet competition with my friend with the Blue version with me on Red. Actually booted up Silver a few days ago when my little cousin arrived with Leaf Green. I dont accuse Nintendo of milking the franchise, but some of the frivilous pokémon in the newer ones just take the biscuit... i am yet to buy anything past Silver though.

    Yes indeed. All this reached the pinnacle of its popularity in Primary school. Everyone would have their Game Boys and link cables and then engage in battle. Great times altogether.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 8,561 Mod ✭✭✭✭Rhyme


    You lucky people... might pick up one of the newer ones in the near future, so tempting and with Twilight Princess pushed back i have space to fill

    Are you sure? I remember being untouchable. I'd rarely need to take out more than half my pokemon. Not even a Mewtew could stand against my level 255's.
