PC is a little harder to do, but Hexen, Star Wars Battle Front, and Crusader Kings II have been my favorite games for the PC as I've upgraded my computers over the years.

if you rammed someone and shot them with the special at the same time 1/4 to 1/2 of their power bar was gone.

and the first was great. But part 2 really perfected the multiplayer fighting.

Mr. Grimm and Shadow all day

And Sweet Tooth was a cheesy bastard

What stopped your advancement system wise?

Also, I was waiting for Chrono Trigger to show up. Easily one of the best RPGs of all time.

>What stopped your advancement system wise?

I barely had time to play games on my PC, let alone the PSX and TG16 I still had at the time. Matter of fact, I told my wife NOT to get me a PS2 for xmas the year I got it (2002) 'cause I probably wouldn't buy any games for it. (I never did... I use it to watch DVD's and play my old PSX games).

I dont remember if i played either of those. I just remembered an AWESOME saturn game, Burning Rangers. Loved that. Not quite PD but probably my #2

I never did get Atlantis for the Intellivision.

Better then the SNES version, which was pretty damned good.

PS3 - Socom Confrontation, Drake Uncharted 2, Endwar, RUSE, XCOM, GTAV/GTA Online, Max Payne 3, Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Online


There's a couple more PS3 joints but I'm drawin' blanks right now...

NES: TMNT 2

SEGA: SONIC 2/NBA LIVE 96
GBC: MARIO TENNIS
PS1: METAL GEAR SOLID/ FFIX
PS2: GTA 3?

nes - river city ransom
genesis - gunstar heroes
n64 - wwf no mercy
dreamcast - soul calibur
gamecube - soul calibur 2 JP
xbox - espn nfl 2k5 (still the best football game ever made)

the next choices are somewhat flippant since i must have played over a thousand different games between these 4 systems and choosing a single best game from each is completely impossible. i'm going with the most memorable and/or the ones i keep coming back to

ps1 - final fantasy tactics
ps2 - final fantasy xii
360 - bayonetta
pc - civilization series, dota 2, or dark souls

>genesis - gunstar heroes

.

>xbox - espn nfl 2k5 (still the best football game ever made)

NFL 2K5 was the GOAT

it had the realistic look down in that generation (the detail of the uniforms), the non-Goodelled celebrations, Chris fuckin' Berman

and the offense wasn't so freakin' stupid like it could be in the comparable Madden game. You didn't even need the fuckin' vision cone. You also didn't have "Vick" stuff going on in that game, either... LOL

2 reasons I own my Wii...

NES: Shit...I chose games so poorly as a kid. I loved Arch Rivals, but I never owned it.

Genesis: NFL '95, just for the straight unabashed cheating. I'd spend a whole Saturday, trading everyone 95+ rated to the Falcons, and go undefeated for seasons at a time. Plus, they'd let D-linemen line up across the LoS, standing right next to the QB. 200+ sacks per season for Reggie White.

N64: Majora's Mask. I'd say it was Stockholm's Syndrome because the game cart was expensive as fuck, and you had to buy the expansion pack, but I'm playing it now on 3DS, and it's still good.

Dreamcast: NFL/NBA 2K. I loved creating WR's, and boosting Vick's ratings, so he'd have 500+ yard games throwing to 6'7" WR's. I still fuck with NBA2K, and the only one I haven't played is 2K9.

Xbox: OG Splinter Cell. Frustrating as shit, I'd leave it alone for months, come back to the same mission and finally figure it out. I tried it and MGS2 on the same day, and SC won out.

360: The Batman Arkham games. Up until Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed was the dopest Batman game ever made.

Xbone: Probably gonna be the new Arkham game.

Coleco Vision: Warlords (joint with the paddles)
Atari: Combat
Intellivision II: Dungeons and Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin
NES: Super Mario 3
Genesis: Streets of Rage 2
Playstation 1: Syphon Filter/Tenchu
Nintendo 64: Goldeneye
XBOX: Halo
Playstation 2: Grand Theft Auto 3
XBOX 360: Grand Theft Auto 4

Arcade: Mortal Kombat II

I left off the Sports games. Between NBA 2K15, Coach K, the First NBA Live and NFL 2K were the best ones

I thought about that. Great game.

PS4: Wolfenstein
PS3: Skate 2
PS1: Mega Man X4
NES: Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Super NES: Super Mario World
Gamecube: 007 Agent Under Fire
GameBoy: Super Mario Land
Genesis: Golden Axe

NES: Kirby's Adventure
Gameboy: Link's Awakening
N64: Majora's Mask
GBA: tie: Ninja Five-0, Advance Wars, Minish Cap
Dreamcast: Jet Set Radio
Gamecube: tie - Windwaker/Metal Arms
PSP: Hammerin' Hero
Genesis: Sonic 3 & Knuckles
3DS: ??? haven't really decided.

NES: (tie) Double Dribble/Tecmo Bowl/Blades of Steel
SNES: NBA Live 95
PS1: Gamebreaker (college football- terrible yet awesome at the same time)
N64: FIFA(whatever year it came out) *
PS2: Madden 02
XBOX: College Basketball 2K3
PS3: NCAA Football 09

*The real answer for N64 is Goldeneye, but I said all sports.

Man, I had to avoid sports because then it would become impossible.

Bases Loaded II was DAT GAME...having fielders jump and dive for the first time...I remember the first time I robbed my brother of a HR...unbelievable

But the sports games present a new problem (and I agree, the right answer for N64 is Goldeneye)

>N64: FIFA(whatever year it came out) *
Waverace is my 1 but FIFA is 1B. The depth of team management was insane at the time. Plus, INDOOR!

Nes, snes, 64, GameCube, 3ds it was Def Zelda with Mario a close second

Xbox360- black ops
Ps2- FF 7 and Legend of Legia

Ps1- silent hill

NES: Battletoads

SNES: Donkey Kong 2

Genesis: Tough, maybe the TMNT game.

Saturn: Bomberman. One of the greatest games ever on any system.

Playstation: Oddworld Abe's Exoddus. So dope. I actually want to play this again, badly.

PS2: Tough. Prince of Persia, Shadow of the Colossus, Resident Evil 4.

Dreamcast: Grandia II

PC: Everquest. Easy.

on that system.

D

I didn't even know people knew Arcadia like that. That was a gem

its obscure because it's a Japenese RPG for the Sega Dreamcast, but people that know it love it.


I never got a Dreamcast when I was in my RPG phase so I never played it but my best friend swears high and low by it.

XBOX 360 - crappy system, like pretty much a worthless system to even reminisce on...but IDK, i played GTA4 on that before i got a PS3 so i'll just say that one...

PS3 - RED DEAD REDEMPTION, HANDS DOWN...GTAV was great but Red Dead is the joint.

PS4 - it's been a struggle for me to care about or get invested in this generation, i love the 4 and the controller but i just don't play like i used to...i'll give a shout to MLB The Show franchise though, it's a great game that looks amazing on the 4

>Atari (Sears knock off of the atari system, for real) - Space
>Invaders or maybe Spy Hunter

I remember the Telestar systems. Atari made those for Sears... Not sure why they did that 'cause they sold enough on their own.

I had the older Atari VCS, the one with wood grain, six switches on the front, and heavier than the 2600. Got that bitch in '79. I remember when Pops brought it to the crib and hooked it up. Combat and Air-Sea Battle was all we had for it and that shit was fun as hell.

dope shit tho.

NES - Guardian Legend, half the boards were like a space legend of zelda, the other a shot em up. Both halves weren't perfect, but good enough to make a classic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian_Legend

SNES - Street Fighter 2 series. Mindless hours of fun poured into this motherfucker...on of my favorite series of all time. Can't wait for 5.

Genesis - Fucking forgot Coach K. Godlike.

Playstation 1 - Tekken 2. Talk about bang for the buck, all the characters, endings, side games..etc. Truly next gen 3d shit. Gran Turismo a close second; racing perfection. I can't imagine the hours I spent on these motherfuckers.

n64 - ALL of AKI's wrestling game, the zenith being WCW/NWO revenge. Nothing like being drunk/high talking shit and fucking your friends up. Goldeneye a close second for the same reasons.

Playstation 2 - Socom 2. The swan song of a real shooter before everything became Halo like halo (death to regenerating health/shields)

Xbox 1 - Crimson Skies. One of the best flying games ive played(and unfortunately to see how the genre has fallen, one of the last), I was even in the top 100 scoreboard for a bit.

Gamecube - F-Zero. Gorgeous and hard as fuck. The epitome of furistic racing games, even the soundtrack was dope.

PS3 - Last Of Us. What a great way to end this generation

Xbox 360 - COD Modern Warfare 2. It may be diminishing returns, but the series is still crack in video game form.

GBA is like SNES 2.0
a lot of great games
a lot of clever ideas

handheld was always cool cause i could do it anywhere and its like having the past gen with current tech so devs get to do a lot of things they couldn't do plus clever new things (the good ones anyway) so that its a real game and not something that can even exist the same way on a console. I don't think a game like Drill Dozer or Sonic Advance 2 would be as good in 3d.

and they ported Final Fantasy Tactics to it.

Those were easily some of the most thrilling games I've ever played. Hard as hell too.

they recently put them out on Good Old Games and it's one of the few things (along with GTA V PC and huge Steam sales) that makes me kind of sad I've preferred Macs so much over PCs my whole life.

My parents only got a PC when our original Apple died because I really wanted to play certain games that weren't on Mac and I convinced them it'd be more adaptable, but we had the misfortune of getting into that world during the Gateway/Windows ME era and it totally soured me on PCs forever, especially after the iMac/Macbook redesigns and OS X.

XBOX - March Madness 05 and MVP Baseball. The last great games for those 2 sports.

'cause for me Mega Man and Mega Man 3 were the joints with the best music. I had Mega Man 2 and beat it, but the replay on it was thoroughly diminished thanks to MM and MM3's superior music.

I STILL can play this game. They really perfected how to do moves, specials, reversals, TLC matches...incredible game.
And you always had WCW vs. NWO revenge if you wanted the WCW version

That create a wrestler stepped the game up too.

the GameCube game: Day of Reckoning 2. I should have put that on the list. Even though I forget that I owned Nintendo consoles after the N64 (I have a Wii -- Start Button).

that game reminded me a whole lot of the old AKI games. AI could be just as frustrating. Had a lot of good "non-WWE" finishers. Created characters were lacking, but I actually gave John Cena his -real- finisher in that game ("Yebisu Drop").

also that 6 golden coins joint is too dope. that was my first PERSONAL game.

although I loved Jin and the introduction of the "Electric Going To Jail" uppercut, the fact that the game actually had side stepping, etc. It always goes back to T2... I think that T2 might have been my first PS1 game.

i feel like i have to make special mentions for my racing games

NES (is hard, i was so young): Bucky O'Hare stuck with me, i feel like there was this TMNT side scroller i loved

Genesis: was that MJ Moonwalker game on this? I can't even remember, played the hell out of that cuz my family would like it. Whatever NHL year it was back then probably deserves a mention, i think EA's NHL 94. That's back before I gave up on hockey and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

SNES: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the 7 Stars

(glory years below...)

PS1: so tough. FF7 just is. Something kept me from finishing 8, then a friend borrowed it and never returned. and I enjoyed 9 a lot as well (fuck the haters lol). I don't have my copy of Metal Gear Solid anymore either, I need that.

N64: have to give a nod to how much I played World Driver Championship. Preferred it to the Gran Turismo series at the time. Then there was Conker's Bad Fur Day!

Dreamcast: Shenmue. Speed Devils for the racing nod. I miss this system. Virtua Tennis?

Xbox: So tough. What Live brought to some games back then affect my answer. OG Ghost Recon. Moto GP 2. Halo series throughout. Morrowind. Beyond Good and Evil.

360: Skyrim. Mass Effect. I want that revamped Prince of Persia back. Portal.

XONE: I'm playing Destiny lol

PCs: It's a fight between my nostalgia for og Starcraft: BW and the og Roller Coaster Tycoon with expansions. I only had a small window of PC gaming then, and it was always a top down sort of thing to me.

They don't want to call for peace then.

My parents wouldn't buy me a colecovision or Atari, so I ended up with a 994a complete with the cassette "data" drive

right behind the Apple II+ and my Timex Sinclair 1000.

I don't feel like going through the handhelds right now...LOL

that I think I like equally or more than my original choices.

Completely forgot about the first F.E.A.R game for PC. That was one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I have ever had in a long time.

NES / Super Mario Bros. 3 -- It's truly the best game that system ever produced. Incredible graphics and pure, simple gameplay.

Game Boy / The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening -- I only ever had the original brick-sized, blurred screen portable, so this cartridge was far and away the most played.

SNES / Final Fantasy VI -- The greatest RPG ever from the greatest system ever. Super Mario Bros. 2: Yoshi's Island is a very, very close runner-up.

PlayStation / Metal Gear Solid -- A landmark that changed gaming for the worse (the "game as a movie" syndrome) but was a perfect experience for its time.

Saturn / Nights: Into Dreams -- The best game Yuji Naka and Sonic Team ever created, including every Sonic game before and after. Character design, music, and those boss fights remain amazing, and the gameplay is timeless.

Dreamcast / Marvel vs. Capcom 2 -- Even on the shitty DC pad, this one remains legendary and ridiculously fun. As a Marvel nerd and Capcom lover, the number of characters here was the stuff wet dreams were made of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsfhADiaP5E

PlayStation 2 / Final Fantasy XII -- This came out damn near the death of the system, but that just means the graphics are remarkable and Square Enix had perfected all the other little stuff. Not as memorable story or character wise, but straight up the most fun FF to play. I spent more time on this title than any other in the series, and nine years later it remains the last *real* FF.

Gamecube / Resident Evil 4 -- The little cube didn't get much burn, but this is one exclusive (for a time) that made it all worth it. Every 15 minutes there's a sequence that would be the high point of every other game.

PlayStation 3 / BioShock -- At this point I had checked out of gaming for the most part, but the atmosphere and story drew me back to old times for a bit.

or I wasn't much of a gamer lol

Atari - Space Invaders
Nintendo - Ring King, Double Dribble, Track and Field, Techmo Bowl, Jordan vs Bird, Mario Bros 3, Little League Baseball
Arcade - Run N Gun 2, Double Dragon, Altered Beast
SNES - Techmo NBA Basketball, Super Techmo Bowl (LOVED that you could save your season), Bulls vs Lakers, Bulls vs Blazers
Playstation - Tekken (1-3), Soul Edge, GTA, Resident Evil 2, NBA Live 96-2001, March Madness (98-2001), Twisted Metal
PS2 - GTA 3, March madness (2002-2005), SSX,
PS3 - Heavenly Sword, God of War (1-3), Modern Warfare series, Resistance (entire series)

Mind you I had the Colecovision with the Atari 2600 adapter and I think my favorite on that system was between Donkey Kong or Time Pilot.

NES: Metal Gear (LOZ and Final Fantasy 1 and Tiger Heli were close seconds)
Sega Genesis: Madden 94? Not a lot of hits come to mind. I was never that much of a Sonic head either.

Playstation 1: Final Fantasy VII

Playstation 2: GTA III

Gamecube: Burnout (Metroid Prime close second)

Xbox 360: Fallout3/Skyrim (sorry, can't choose one)

Xbox One: Too soon? (I currently have AC:Unity, NBA 2K15, Dragon Age:Inquisition, Tomb Raider, Borderlands Handsome edition, I beat AC: Black Flag and Far Cry 4 and have The Witcher III on preorder)

after I beat that game, my gaming life was officially complete

I never owned another game system after that
