BEST video/computer game EVER!!!

[Koopsta Knicca]

Post what you think is the best video/computer game of ALL TIME!

I think Final Fantasy 7 is the best game ever made.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

There is no one single game.

However the shortlist is

1)Frogger
2)Half Life
3)Deus Ex
4)Pong
5)It came from the desert

--Jakk:t

[RamonGTP]

The original Legend of Zelda, and Super Mario Bros.

[Cyan]

Chrono Trigger, the first RPG I ever played.

Then FF 8
and Chrono Cross

[RobFM]

Old games:

- Super Mario
- Sonic
- F117A Stealth Fighter - Atari STE
- Paperboy - Atari STE

New Games (5years or less)

- Half Life
- Counter Strike
- Morrowind 3
- CM 4
- Rise of Nations


Anything I've forgotten???

[fishybawb]

For me it's a tie between these (in no particular order)

1.) Mario Kart (SNES)
2.) Doom 2 (PC)
3.) Street Fighter 2 (Arcade)
4.) Elite (PC)
5.) Streets of Rage 2 (Megadrive/Genesis)

[Rugor]

Holds his head and runs screaming from the attack of the FF7 fans.

[KraZy_SkitZy]

Final Fantasy 7

Anachronox :t

Silver was Great too

[Someone Stupid]

FF7 was horrible (and they just get worse)... I have to agree with Rugor

[nothing]

Syberia! I just beat the game. It is beautiful! Can't wait for Syberia 2 (comes out on October 2003)

[Zakalwe]

I dunno about the best, it all depends on mood, etc.

But as far as making off with huge chunks of my life:

1. Doom2
2. Unreal Tournament
3. C&C Red Alert
4. Starcraft
5. Gran Turismo ( 1 & 2 )
6. RTCW
7. MOH
8. Quake 1, 2, and 3
9. Warcraft 1, 2 and 3
10. Max Payne
11. Age of Empires



The new Half Life looks like it's gonna be pretty good. Just thought I'd state the obvious there.:D

And staying with the obvious motif, I sure am hanging out for DoomIII...

Rise of Nations looks pretty good to.


Syberia! I just beat the game. It is beautiful!

That piqued my interest, as I have never heard of that game. I went to a review of it on "The Adrenaline Vault", this is what the first line in the review says:
"Every once in a while a computer game comes along that knocks the socks off even the most seasoned reviewer"

The rest is equally complimentary. I think I'll have to check this game out, it sounds awesome.

[dcman]

In random order:

Shenmue (both 1 and 2)
Killer Instinct
Counter Strike
GTA 3
The Ninja Turtles games on the NES
NHL 98 (Even though I'm not a Hockey fan, this was my favorite game when it came out)

[nothing]

Here
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/syberia/index.html

[paganman7]

In no particular order:

C&C: Generals
Contra (NES)
Space Harrier (Sega MS)
import version of Castlevania (Saturn)
X-Men vs. Street Fighter (Saturn)

[RamonGTP]

Ahhh the memories.... I totally forgot about Mario Kart and Contra... Those are also definatly on my list... As well as the original castlevania

[uncle_jimbo]

No Order -

Shenmue (DC)
Battlefield 1942
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
Day of Defeat
Rise of Nations
Red Faction
Grand Theft Auto 3
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Morrowind/Tribunal/Bloodmoon
Metal Gear Solid 2 (PC)
Blitzkrieg
Mafia (PC)

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Silver was Great too

I played the demo for that and LOVED it, which is somewhat of a shocker given my stance to RPG's, but i was never able to find it in the shops :(

i just LOVE IT

half life
unreal tournament

BATTLEFIELD 1942

maybe HALF LIFE 2 :p

[Ragefire]

The original Might and Magic game on the Apple IIe back in, erm, 1987 I think. 1st game I ever played, and I was hunting about seeing when it was released, and found a walkthrough - I played this game for about 2 years, and never finished it coz I got stuck - turns out, I was quite litereally 4 moves from finishing the game. How bloody annoying is that!

Oh, and Chuckie Egg on the Dragon32, Xenon2 on the Amiga, and the original R-Type on any platform (Spectrum, Amiga and arcade my personal faves). And the Sentinel on the Speccy - a thinking mans game.

And the sit down Star Wars Arcade game (with vector graphics) - and the very nice Amiga conversion.

Nearly forgot Carrier Command on the Speccy/Amiga!

On the PC, erm, Jetfighter 2 was a classic in it's day, and the original Civilization saw me though College, and made my pal who went on to be my best man buy his 1st PC just to play Civ! Also helped him some 10-15 years later to get his rather fine job of Network Consultant - all coz of Civ! Let's see how many of todays games can claim to have effected someone's life in such a way in a few years time :)

ff7 was awsome.

me and my uncle played AoE for about 3 days straigt when he bough his first computer, 2 weeks later we opened an internet cafe with 8 computers. turned out a weekened of fun changed my life :| but the down side is we were robbed 2 months after we opened and lost everything tried to start again and didnt make it past 2 and a half years... insurance didnt finaly cover us till 2 months after we closed due to money problems... stupid situation, but it was fun while it lasted :)

[bob05]

1) American McGee's Alice

2) Dues Ex

3) Rainbow 6: Rouge Spear (including all expansion packs)

4) Return To Wolfenstien: ET

5) Crimson Skies

6) Rainbow 6 & Eagle Watch

I think Rouge Spear is a much better tactial shooter than Couter Strike is or will ever hope to be. :p

I have spent weeks at a time playing RTCW over and over again. And the two hardest parts of that game have to be the true Uber Soldate, and the end boss.

Yeah, they're working on the sequel to it right now called Moulin Rouge Spear ;)

[paganman7]

Wait...I forgot about Ninja Gaiden for NES.

[Beeblequix]

1. Deus Ex
2. Morrowind
3. No One Lives Forever
4. Half Life
5. Tie Fighter
6. Xwing vs Tie Fighter


It's so hard to rank them all....I really like the shooter/role player games. And I'll remember you all when my name has been attached to a shipping FPS/RPG.

no order, but good memories.
Ultima 4 & 5.
Karateka

nothing,
I'm also very interested in Siberia. How would you describe it?

ß

[tasty danish]

best games.... well some of the best games came out around the snes days. first and foremost you gotta include chrono trigger THE BEST game EVER. also the secret of mana series was good. as was the little known illusion of gaia. (for all you romers out there, get seiken densetsu 3 (secret of mana 2) and terranigma) then we must not forget space invaders, pong, and the all important: tetris. these three are the kinda games that revolutionized the industry and paved the way for your sof's and medal of honors and what not. half life must be given recognition. i feel like im forgetting something.... OH YES: the very much under-rated phantasy star series for the sega master system and genisis (phantasy star online while addicting, really wasnt that amazing). sometimes i feel that im the only one who took the time to stop and enjoy those little gems, and any classic gamers should definately check em out.

[Kandar]

Some of my favorites, plucked from my mind.

Bomber man
Gauntlet
Dungeon Master
Doom 1 & 2
Stone keep
Duke Nukem
Descent 2
Carmageddon
Unreal 1 & 2
Half life
Return to Castle Wolfenstien
Unreal Tournament

And an honourable mention for Splinter Cell.

[JuNacy]

Hmmm, another one of these huh? Off the top of my head I'd have to go with the following:

Street Fighter 2
Half Life
Deus Ex
Halo
Final Fantasy 3/6 (US/JPN)
Command and Conquer series
Warcraft series
Starcraft
Super Mario Kart
Legend of Zelda series
Metroid series
Resident evil series
Panzer Dragoon Saga
and a billion other games i'm too lazy to list........

[tasty danish]

junancy obviously knows video games as final fantasy 6 was definately the best ff game. what id like to see is a remake of some of the older final fantasy's with new 3d graphics a la ff10. if they remade 6 and 1, and then made a sequel to 7, that would be really cool.

I'd love to see that happen. I remember reading somewhere recently that there was talk of making a sequel to FF7. It was asked of Square-Enix if they would consider doing a sequel to FF7 since they did a sequel to FFX, and their reply was that they would love to see it happen and that they would consider doing it if the demand was great enough. Then they go on to state that it would probably never happen anyway due to their many oncoming projects. That would be pretty cool though...

[tasty danish]

i heard about that as well, in fact there was talk of making a sequel to 7, 8, and 9. but in classic "keep the gamers blood thirsty and waiting" fashion, square never fully anounced nor denied having plans for those games.... bleh, makes me wish i was in charge.

[MDLarson]

Starcrack! I mean... Starcraft.

And Marathon! (old Mac 1st person shooter) Multi-player was tops on that game.

[cbh]

1) Command & Conquer series

2) Starcraft

3) Diablo 2 series

4) Warcraft 3 series

5) Return to Castle Wolfenstein

6) Star Trek: Elite Force 2

7) Splinter Cell

8) Empire Earth series

9) Age of Empires series

10) Age of Mythology

[steevo]

Anybody remember "Mercenary (http://www.zzap64.co.uk/zzap11/mercenary.html) - Escape from TARG " for the Commodore 64 ? That was an excellent game. Man it looks dated now though.

EARTHBOUND!! (for the SNES)

GOD THEY NEED TO MAKE A SEQUEL, THOSE BASTARDS!

[Rugor]

Radar Rat Race on the Vic20

:)

[Solkin]

Baldur's Gate II
Star Craft
War Craft III
Final Fantasy VI
Diablo II

These are the very few games that have actually made me lose touch with the outside world for very long extended periods of time.

PS... FFVI is the only FF game even worth mentioning. The rest can blow a goat or two, and then just dissapear, or just give them all to me and I will set them up on the funeral pyre. :r

[tasty danish]

yeah, i enjoyed the other ff games, but eventually they became a boring fight scavenger hunt, ff6 never seemed to be that way.

[oboeman2002]

hmm i see a lot of

return to castle wolfenstein

and half life


what about battlefield 1942 u guys?

and some poeple say unreal tournament...id say..the demo for unreal tournament 2003 sucks

I found it 2-3years ago for $25cnd piked it up, but I haven't seen it in stores again, so I'm glad i bought it when i saw it :t

[Rugor]

Games I like a lot:

Neverwinter Nights
Freedom Force
Baldur's Gate

A few others too, like Fallouts, Planescape Torment, etc.

I don't like games that are too "twitchy," which lets out most FPS games. Besides they induce nausuea, so they're not high on my list. I like a game with a pause, and the ability to save anywhere. We have six kids here right now, and sometimes you have to get up then and there,

Another big thing for me is expandability. NWN has 2500+ additional modules available on line, as well as all the servers. Freedom Force has hundreds of heroes, and a good dozen addtional campaigns.

You can't get that on a console.

[tasty danish]

thats right!!! you all can take that PAYstation and shove it!!!! (even though i have one and kinda like some of the games pc rapes sony's machine). HAHA, consols are poo! i killed 20 nazis, 15 terrorists, some more terrorists, and then emailed my mother and my father to say hi, looked up some dirty jokes, bought some pc parts off ebay, found some interesting facts about old chevy's, and then killed some more terrorists all in a days work! try doing that on a console!!! i dont care how great sony internet bs is or will become. untill playstations support 1600+ resolution, they are nothing compared to a good comp. course by the time they do, pc's will still be waaay ahead. :r

EXACTLY...!

I am a PC lover....


Allthough...I do have to say that the best game I have played was HALO on the XBOX....was WICKED.
The XBOX is gone now though!
:cool:

[MDLarson]

Even though I own a GameCube, I also like computer games better than console games. More customizable (like with maps and stuff), more multiplayable, better looking games...

I've learned to use the GameCube's controller pretty well, but I also usually dislike those clunky controllers.

[tasty danish]

there is good news my friends! no doubt that halo was awesome, and now its coming to the pc in about two months with extra levels and support for..... ONLINE PLAY, this makes my nipples hard, how bout all you?:r

[cbh]

Yeeha!!

[VoodooLord]

Does anyone remember THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND? It has no rivals! For the Sega Genesis the best is GOLDEN AXE, for the SNES the Dragon ball Z RPG ( i don't rember the name). Recent beautiful games are Max Payne, Arcanum, Fallout and Deus Ex but Guybrush Threepwood RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freedom Force is cool! I just got it in a bundle pack with 4 games. I looked for Freedom Force all over but didnt see it. So sprang for the deal when I saw it. On net it was $12. I got the 4 pack for $19. at wal-mart and it has -Freedom Force, C&C Renegade, NFS III (already had) and Earth Beyond. Like Freedom Force most of all. Renegade is o.k.:t

[steevo]

THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND

One of the best games i ever played. It was a real feeling of accomplishment to complete that one.:p

[Rugor]

Yep Gamer, if you get old-style comics, Freedom Force is an absolute blast. Plus if you hit the net you can find almost as much additional content for it as you can for NWN.

I have campaigns for Iron Man, Fantastic Four, and the Avengers sitting on my HD, and there are a lot more out there.

It's just a fun game.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

and the Avengers

I take it we aint talking Steed and Emma Peel here? ;)

--Jakk:t

[Rugor]

No, more Captain America and the Scarlet Witch.

I've seen the Avengers on TV, and the comic is very different.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Pah, i'd take a young Diana Rigg over Captain America any day :x;)

--Jakk:t

[Qvark]

Hmm......

Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis
Jet set willy (Amstrad 464)
C&C Generals
Gran Turismo
Resident Evil series

[Yoshi]

Mike Tysons Punch Out
Warcraft 3
C&C Generals
C&C Renegade
NFL 2K3 ( I love Football)

[Kandar]

Either I'm getting to good at the first person shooter game genre or they are getting far to predictable in their game play.
I keep finishing them to quickly and effortlessly.
There seems to be few real surprises. The plot often unfolds in a very predictable manner and ambushes are expected long before they happen.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel the same.

Examples
Unreal 2 & Unreal Tournament 2003 - purchased both and finished both in the same week.
Star Trek Elite Force - finished it and did it again on a higher dificulty level in the same week
Alien Vs Predator 2 - Great fun but finished it easily. Marine being the most challenging

I hope Half life 2 and Doom 3 have a little more substance

[maje87c]

don't forget deus ex 2 and max payne 2. If all of the above don't have substance, I'm going to be extremely angry. Mostly because I need a new graphics card before I can play these things above 640x480.

I'm gonna wait for about 3 months after each game(except half-life 2, it looks like the best of the bunch) is released, cause I'm not gonna pay for any **** games.

[dolemitsu]

Final Fantasy 3 (US) [6 if you're in Asia)
and Chrono Trigger.

Those 2 take it hands down.

sing it brother, my two favorite games of all time, squaresoft was the shizznit back in the day, they dont make em like that anymore. i dont know what it is about chrono trigger but it had some kind of mysterious magic, like there was always more to uncover, i have never felt that way about a stupid video game. chrono trigger was definately the best game ever.

Another 12 classics

Outrun
Super Sprint

Double Dragon

Chucky Egg
Desert island Dizzy
Rick Dangerous

I completely understand. The game has STANDING POWER.. Also, Chrono Trigger was one of the few games where I got all wrapped up in the characters' personalities...

[mireland]

Love the Zelda series for Nintendo..Alas I have to use walkthroughs..LOL. Remember the original legend of zelda for NES. You had to put a battery in the game in order to save ..well for some reason I never could get my games saved EVER even with changing batteries..so I never finished that one..LOL!!

No way the best from every aspect - programming , 3d design/fp maths , layout , playability , sound , etc has to be ELITE on the BBC micro then PC.
No other game has come close to having it all...

Beachhead , Xenon2 , Arcadians , Pacman , Frogger , Missile Command , Xevious , Nervyron , Space Invaders ,
They dont make games with such simple yet original concepts anymore its all down to how many colours , sounds , polygons....
How sad
:(

Prince of Persia was another groundbreaker top contender...

[smooth sa'Ling]

Ok time to reveal my age.


Odyssey - Monkey Shines, Pick Axe Pete

Coleco Vision - Zaxxon, Looping, Ladybug - Atari adapter - James Bond 007 , River Raid, Yar

SuperNES - super Mario Kart

PC mid 80's - Wizardry BEST!!! Kill Werdna 100 times become godlike charater!! :) , Ultima I, Zork I(lot of typing though), Rogue(heh based on the 255 characters)

PC 90's - Wizardry pretty much carried me through until Heroes came out, Never like any 1st person games then

Now - have family now and only have time for CS.

Yep Im an old timer..... My first computer was a 70 lb compatible Chameleon plus with 2 floppy disks and 256k. :0)

[omendata]

Hmmm Yar was rather good and hunt the wumpus on the apple ii and scott text adventure series - simple concept works the best made you use your imagination rather than fancy gfx although sound would have been a winner.

Flashback on of the few games I completed - classic!!!

Yeah it was a copy of Prince's groundbreaking sprite routines but it was a classic on its own too for it!!!

Super Mario Bros. (NES)
Castlevania (NES)
Contra (NES)
Top Gun (NES)
Pacman (Arcade???/ATARI???)
Tank (ATARI)
Snake (ATARI)
Starcraft (PC)
Ghost Recon (PC)
GTA3 (PC)

Overall, I'd say Starcraft.

i dont wanna offend everyone but i peronally never understood why half life was so great.

just after i completed UT (single player:rolleyes: ) i went out and bought half life.
worst 20 quid i ever spent. i only played it for 20 mins, and i have never played it since. i just didnt think it was fun.

ive never lilked FF7 either

unreal tournament & 2003

The first 25 minutes or so of HL is all about creating an atmosphere of comfort and every day routine...and then throwing it into mayhem and building a real sense of confusion. If you dont mind bearing with this unti you reach The Office complex (which is fairly quickly), then you are in for one hell of a ride that will take you an age to get through. I urge anyone who was turned off by the beggiing of HL to stick with it at least until theyve gotten out of 'The Office Complex' or 'We've Got Hostiles', and im pretty sure they'll thank themselves for it

Quake three is still the top MP FPS IMO, UT's not bad but Q3a thrashes it sensless and UT2k3 is basically Quake 3 with new graphics.

As for HL, you HAVE to try and stick with it, it is slow at first, the first tiem i played it i got bored with it before even getting into the test chamber, then a coupel of days later me dad started going on about this great game i'd installed on the computer that he's been playing all day... the rest as they say is history.

Plus, unlike most other FPS, it doesnt treat the gamer with kid gloves, it actually gives em challenging situations and enemies to play through rather than a boring game without challenge that can be polished off in 6 hours, liek most recent FPS' are
