[mikeszekely]

My favorite game is Megaman 3. Period. But I love Megaman games in general. So, um...

I'm not going to cram these games into different catagories. Basically, my favorite games are:

Megaman, NES (Capcom)

Megaman 2, NES (Capcom)

Megaman 3, NES (Capcom)

Megaman V, GB (Capcom)

Megaman X, SNES (Capcom

Megaman X4, PSone (Capcom)

Onimusha, PS2 (Capcom)

Fatal Frame, PS2 (Tecmo... looking forward to playing FF II)

Time Crisis III, PS2 (Namco)

Need for Speed Underground, Multiple (EA)

Halo, Xbox (Bungie)

Dynasty Warriors 3 or 4, PS2/Xbox (Koei)

Super Smash Bros Melee, Gamecube (Nintendo)

Sonic Adventure, Dreamcast/Gamecube (Sega)

Sonic Adventure 2, Dreamcast/Gamecube (Sega)

Samba de Amigo, Dreamcast (Sega)

Street Fighter Alpha 3, PSone (Capcom)

Wario Ware Inc, GBA (Nintendo)

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, PSone (Konami)

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, GBA (Konami)

Final Fantasy II (aka Final Fantasy IV), SNES (Square)

Secret of Mana, SNES (Square)

Super Mario World, SNES (Nintendo)

Super Mario Bros. 3, NES (Nintendo)

Super Dodgeball Advance, GBA (Atlus)

Legend of Zelda, NES (Nintendo)

Dragon Warrior III, NES (Enix)

Hands down, my favorite company is Capcom. If Nintendo's first party games on the Cube and the N64 were as good as their first party games of yesteryear, they would have been in the running. Much love also goes to Sega, Namco, and Konami. Even though more of their games didn't make my list, I love a lot of their games. This list is just the best of the best. As for Square... they've got to be the most over-rated developer in the history of gaming. Each new Final Fantasy game has people acting like it's the second coming of Christ... and while I've enjoyed most of the Final Fantasy games, they're not THAT great. And we conveniently forget that 90% of the non-Final Fantasy games that Square has delievered are crap.

ASTROIDS,,,,

Defender allways sucessfully pissed me off

[JsARCLIGHT]

Any coin-op in the Aladin's Castle at the mall near my old home in Nevada between 1982 and 1986.

Those are the days that I remember fondly, when games could do no wrong. They were simple plumbers fighting apes... little ships getting kidnaped and rescued so you could have two little ships... cussing orange pipe-snooted hopping things... inflatable underground dwelling creatures... and all the genres where born in the arcades of the '80s... from Pac Man, Dig Dug and Centipede to Double Dragon, Operation Wolf and NARC...

Sigh... those were the days...

[the white drew carey]

Favorite Console Game:

VASTEEL (TG-16 CD-ROM)- My friend imported this from Japan a long time ago, way before the English version came out. It took us the longest time to figure out what the Japanese symbols meant. But it was one of the funnest strategy/fighting games of all time!!! The primary gameplay has you controlling your army of robots and hovertanks in a turn-based, hex-grid system to conquer all of your enemies cities and bases on a gamemap (and then, of course, move to the next level). But once you moved onto an opposing player's unit, it moved to a 45 degree angle camera view of both your units where you would fight it out arcade style, with movement in all four directions. One button used your main weapon, more powerful, but longer reload times. The other button would either 1) Shoot your smaller, secondary weapon if you were far away from your enemy, or batter him with a fist or club weapon if you were close).

It was the bomb!!!

Favorite Arcade Game:

GALAGA- Like you had to ask.

[GreenGuy42]

Xenogears, and Square when it designed games such AS Xenogears, FF VI, FF VII.... I'd also say FF IX is up there as well.

Best Game Ever: Pirates and X-Com

Ah, a blast from the past!

Back in the 1980s, Origin Systems reigned supreme until they sold out to EA.

This game was one of the classics they released:

Edited December 12, 2003 by Jolly Rogers

[Commander McBride]

I'm not gonna go into the whole genre thing....

Favorite game: Gran Turismo 2 (PS One) - 3 has better graphics, but the physics are unchanged, and 2 had better tracks (Red Rock Valley, Grindelwald) and more cars.

-Battlefield 1942 (PC) - A good game in its own right, it provides an incredible basis for mods, some of which make the game one of the best ever made.

- Tom Clancy's Rogue Spear:Black Thorn (PC) - BT was a standalone game based on the Rouge Spear system. BT had an immense variety of real world, realistically portrayed, weapons, and some of the best map design of all time, and the best in the series. Raven Shield, while capturing much of the previous games' feel, leans a little toward the arcade aspect, instead of the straight mil-sim attitude of the previous games. And both it, and the Rainbow Six series' semi-sequel, Ghost Recon, suffer from less than brilliant map design.

-Goldeneye 007 (N64) - Possibly the greatest FPS of all time. While games since have exceded it, Goldeneye was such a leap over anything that had come before that it deserves a place in any FPS fan's library. For many gamers, it was the first time a game had involved anything more than mowing down leigons of monsters or ailens. And, while it was exceeded in some areas by its true successor Perfect Dark, most notably multiplayer, PD was still just Goldeneye with improvements, not the revolutionary game Goldeneye was.

-Final Fantasy VI (III in the US) (Super Famicom / SNES) - Anyone who has played it knows why.

-Gran Turismo series (PS One, PS2) - The. Greatest. Racing. Game. Ever. It truly has no competition. Realistic tracks, physics, real cars, great graphics, the deep modification and purchase system. Nothing has ever come close. Sure, there have been games that were slightly more realistic, or looked better. But as an overall package, nothing can touch GT.

-Metal Gear Series (Famicom, PC Engine, Super Famicom, PSone, PS2, XBOX, GameCube, PC) A series that needs no introduction. The series, especially MGS and MGS2 introduced a deep story (albeit a little too deep in MGS2) that made MGS closer to an RPG than to an action game. In fact, there is argument that MGS is an RPG. After all, it has an inventory system, a deep story, increases in levels, and more. And aren't those what define an RPG?

-Microsoft Flight Simulator series (PC) - Another game that really doesn't have any competiton. MSFS's realistic physics, great graphics, huge add-on library, and thousands of airports mean that there's really nothing to compare it to.

- Su-27 Flanker Series (PC) - Some may argue that Falcon 4 is better. And it is slightly more realistic. But there's a level of unmatched coolness about flying a plane that can launch from a carrier under its own power, and fly while pointing backwards. The F-16 may be a Lotus Elise, with its small size and nimble handling. But the Flanker is the fighter equivelant of a Muscle Car. Or maybe Falcon lets you fly the aircraft equivelant of a Glock. But the Flanker is a double barrelled shotgun. Maybe it's a bit less refined, but dammed if it doesn't blow a hole through anything you point it at. And plus, it's just an awesome game.

- Half Life (PC) - This is another game that requires no explanation.

- Battle Gear series (Arcade) - What GT is to sim racers, BG is to arcade style racing games. It blows Initial D's door off and leaves it coughin gin the dust. With a library of licensed cars, a multitude of tracks, and just the right balance of sim and arcade, it's at the top of the heap. And the newest version even allows users to buy a key that acts as a memory card, allowing them to earn money and customize cars, play online with players in other arcades, and even organize and join racing teams.

- Kidou Senshi Gundam : Renpou vs. Zeon (Arcade). While lacking in the graphical area, and not the greatest game based on the franchise, FvZ still manages to be a areat arcade experience.

- The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon. Morrowind is a contender for the best RPG ever made. While the beginning is a little slow, as the game progresses, the amount of freedom the game gives you is unparallelled. And it's great in that the game actually rewards you for your effort. From seeing a town spring up gradually as you do quests so allow it to happen, to getting your own personal fortresses, and just gaining the admiration of the people of the game's world, the game gives you a real reason to keep on going. And the vast library of addons, from weapons to whole continents, makes the game's potential almost limitless. The graphics are great, and in some of the more picturesque locations, can be breathtaking. And the suspension of disbelief is also great. Unlike the horrible D&D based system of so many games (Baldur's gate, Neverwinter Nights), which requires so much attention to statistics and micromanaging skills and spells, Morrowind actually lets you have fun. And you can actually have fun doing smoe of the most seemingly mundane things. I've had occasions where I spend an hour arranging objects in my houses, just to make it look cool. And even things like travellign from town to town buying and selling goods are a lot of fun, too. And in addition to the great main quest, there are nearly endless side quests. And even when those end, you can make your own! One of my pastimes in the game has been seeking out vampires and killing them!

[GobotFool]

To many good games to list. But if I a gun was placed to my head and I had to choose my favorite game company and game, Black ISle (RIP) and Fallout 2

Cannot compare... from the House wars to the Clan invasion, turning on your allies for the money... ah its heaven.

I can't believe no one's mentioned StarCraft yet.  It's definitely an online multiplayer classic.  Blizzard knows what they're doing.

Ahem!

I beleive I mentioned it. First page my friend.

All time favorite game would be Star Controll II for the PC.  Nothing else comes close.

Other favorites would be:

Starcraft (PC)

Oops! My bad!

Worth mentioning twice anyway. The game rocks!
