  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden


    FF7 me thinks


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,275 ✭✭✭Shinji


    Can't pick one really. Would have to throw together a munged list featuring Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy X, Radiant Silvergun, ICO, Deus Ex, Grandia, Zelda 64 and Soul Calibur.

    And probably about twenty I've forgotten :)


    (Oh, and right at the moment Counter-Strike, but that's very much a love-hate relationship :))


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,136 ✭✭✭Pugsley


    FF7 or any zelda game, not a bad one out there.

    I love these threads.
    Heres my top 5

    1. Final Fantasy VII (nothing else comes close)
    2. Metal Gear Solid (better than any action film I've ever watched)
    3. Grandia (You've gotta love Justin, Sue and Feena. Play it and you will fall in love with the characters)
    4. Gunstar Heroes (My fave treasure game. I'm not insane enough to get radiant silvergun)
    5. Final Fantasy X (Best story since FFVII and best combat system since Grandia)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,955 ✭✭✭✭MisterAnarchy


    'Ocarina of Time' is my favourite.
    A fantastic game years ahead of its time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,196 ✭✭✭quaalude


    Here's my list.

    I've thought about it a lot, but I reserve the right to change my mind as soon as I hit "post reply"!

    5. Age of Empires II, PC
    4. Nemesis, arcade
    3. Strider, arcade
    2. Wizball, C64
    1. Ocarina of Time, N64.

    Lotus 2 Turbo Challenge

    The theme tune rocked.

    Alot of those old tunes should be revived and a nice remix done with them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 696 ✭✭✭Kevok


    Zelda: LTTP
    Zelda: OOT
    Eternal Darkness
    FF VII
    Shadowrun

    But to name a few.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,982 ✭✭✭ObeyGiant


    Finally got my grubby little hands on Ikaruga for my Dreamcast.
    Loving it. It's well up there.
    And Ico, for being about the only game of the past few years to wholly absorb me. Every spare chance I got, I was playing Ico.

    Historically, looking back, I'd say Monkey Island 1, and Excitebike 2 (with track designer!) were the two games that kept me most entertained during my formative years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 484 ✭✭ManWithThePlan


    Zelda IV on the SNES is my favourite game of all time.

    Alot of people saying Zelda 64.. pah!

    Mortal Kombat II on the SNES has to be a close second!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,007 ✭✭✭Moriarty


    Deus Ex

    Followed by (in no particular order): Operation Flashpoint, The Settlers 2 and Neverwinter Nights.

    <edit: Ooops, and monkey island 1/2. >

    Super Mario Brothers 3
    Monkey Island
    Street Fighter II
    Faxanadu
    Elite
    Rogue
    Doom II

    Just some games that I remember having a lot of fun playing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,872 ✭✭✭segadreamcast


    Games that I had the most fun with (therefore were the "best" in my opinion)

    Metal Gear Solid
    Street Fighter II
    Soul Calibur
    Sonic 2/3 (the memories... eight of us crowded around sonic 3 doing 1-on-1 games.)
    Mario 3 (other memories... me and my dad playing Mario 3 into the wee hours.)
    and finally the most recent would be Halo (I'll be mobbed for saying that, but it's always a GREAT excuse to bring seven mates around and call out for Domino's :). I think most of you who play Halo know what I mean...)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 867 ✭✭✭l3rian


    GoldenEye

    the graphics - really smooth movement and deaths, even with 10 badguys on screen
    the sound - songs where fast, menacing and bond, i have all the music on mp3 now
    the weapons - dual magnums made enemys fly 10 feet backwards
    the multiplayer - as much fun as snes mario kart mixed with cs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Squall


    Hmmm, this is a tough one. Probly these in no particular order

    FFVII(Most engrosing RPG ever)

    Dungeon Keeper (Impus natum :) , Class game, you get to be evil)

    Starcraft (Cant believe no one mentioned it yet, Very cool in its day, and still so)

    Imperium Galactica 1 (Great until it got to the stage where everything was reserched and you just built unstoppable fleets, Still one of me favourites, cant wait for IG III)

    Caesar 2 (Plebs are needed)

    Homeworld (looked stunning and had salvage corvettes :) )

    Baldurs Gate/Shadows of amn series (Played all these through using the same character, got very attached :) )

    I could go on for ages, but those are probly my all time favourites

    Good game. Very original idea and my brother still plays it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,277 ✭✭✭bugs


    Strider - arcade version was great, megadrive version was almost perfect, and the PC engine version (bet no ones played that) had a kind of fmv type thing going on .... best version.

    Final fight - double dragon but fun :)

    Tekken 3/tag - most fun you can have watching fighting without the addition of jelly and naked ladies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,510 ✭✭✭batman_oh


    hmm
    tekken tag due to it bein stupidly deep and actually playin it on a european level
    emm super bomberman for multiplayer larks aswell as original mariokart
    street fighter2/ce/turbo for takin 4 years of my life
    marioworld and donkey kong country for platform perfection
    sonic for bein the only reason i ever envied megadrive owners
    mario3 for bein too good when it came out
    flimbos quest on c64 for the first levels music!
    and thats about it

    That game ruled.
    Used to be so envious of my cousin who owned that game!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    hmmmm... in no particular order.

    quake - started playing it again recently, still love it to bits:)

    super metroid - metroid fusion was pretty good as well, can't wait to play prime.

    GtaIII - nuff said.

    super mario kart - best multiplayer racing ever!
    /edit
    how could i forget jedi knight 2:confused:
    by far the best game that i've played in the last 6 months and easily the best star wars game ever (which isn't hard)

    dopewars and acid tetris are 2 of my favourite freeware games ever, it's just a shame that dopewars has teamed up with gator recently:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭Asuka


    Yup, you guessed it...

    ...Final Fantasy VII

    A
