Favorite video game

Chrono Trigger, Final fantasy Tactics, and Final Fantasy 2 and 3 are probably my favorite games of all time.

I saw that Erik mentioned the Elder Scrolls series. I love those games. I used to waste so much time on Morrowind with my friends back in Havre that it was pretty saddening...especially when you add booze to the mix. I personally liked Daggerfall (Elder Scrolls II) the most. Here's a runoff of my favorite games from the consoles I've had:

NES

Double Dragon I and II
Legend of Zelda I and II (I wasted so much time on Link's Quest when I was a child...)
Metal Gear (that game was HARD)
Super Mario I, II, and III
Predator
Godzilla(!)
Contra and Super C (Contra II)
Castlevania II/Simon's Quest
The Terminator

SNES

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Contra III
Crono Trigger (I "moded" my SNES by pulling out the two thingies that go up [you can see what I'm talking about by looking at a cartrige])
Castlevania IV
Bassin's Black Bass (a pointless fishing game)
Super Mario World
Mortal Kombat I and II
Beavis and Butt-Head

Genesis

Sonic
Risk II
FIFA World Soccer (go Mexicans!)
General Chaos
Terminator 2
Beavis and Butt-Head

N64

GoldenEye 007
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask
Perfect Dark
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
Banjo Kazooie

PlayStation

Resident Evil I, II, and III
Metal Gear Solid
Crono Cross
Medal of Honor
Gran Turismo II (I got the second one first, then bought the first one and figured it was crap compared to II)

PlayStation 2

Red Faction (one of the first games where you could blow a bunch of holes through the walls and ground to change where you were going)
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Soul Caliber II
Gran Turismo III and IV
Metal Gear Solid II: Sons of Liberty (nothing's better than watching Snake snap someone's neck like a toothpick)

X-Box
Tenchu: Return to Darkness (NINJAS!)
Ninja Gaiden
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I and II
Halo (my roommate's obsession of Halo 2 has made me really hate the game as of late)
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Rocky Legends (what's better than being the big Russian?)

That's about all I can think of on my list of my personal favorites. Made my brain kinda tired.

Now that I look at it, I used to be a big video game junkie. Oh well.

Yeah FF7! I've never actually beat any other Final Fantasy (but come to the VEERRRRY near end in so many). I hated 8, except for the cut scene where the blond bad guy laughs...he's on a dock, or something...it's been so long. 9 was awesome too, because of Amano

Turtles 3 was ALSO one of my faves!!!! SUCH a PERFECT game!!!

I love Mario 3 also. I remember getting it right when it came out, for like $60 or something!!!

My favourite game in the moment is harvest moon series. I don't have a particular harvest moon favourite, the whole serie is good

Harvest moon is such a great game! I mean you farm what could be better?! One time a friend and I stayed up from like 10 to 4 in the morning switching off days in harvest moon 64, the lame thing was that it wasn't when it had just come out it was like a month ago.

And now something that some of you NES fans might like. I have never actually owned an NES but I have now started playing them because of this

http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?catego ... d963b695c0

It's actually mainly for watching movies but that doesn't seem to happen that much since it's got this annoying conversion program. Their are a couple other things you can get for playing emulators on your GBA that work a little better but this one is the cheapest. The only problem with this one is that it can only play roms that are under 256k or someth but most NES roms are pretty small anyway. And it can't play GBA roms so that's a bummer.

Right now I'm hopelessly addicted to Unreal Tournament (GOTY edition). I play deathmatch all the time... 'simon' is feared by many on one particular server

nice with the UT GOTY... You play chaos UT at all?

OH HELL YEAH. Morrowind (the third one) is so awesome. You could literally just roam around and have so much fun finding caves with smugglers or tombs with vampires... one of the best non-linear games period. I'm waiting anxiously for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

I think it's funny Jeremy mentioned Fusion Frenzy's twisted system minigame. A demo of Fusion Frenzy comes on the xbox halo disc, and at Halo LANs my friends and I would battle on twisted system and sumo. One of us got like 120 or something... it was ridiculously fast.

Hey Rory, were you a roper too? That shit was sweet! Closest thing I've found to footbag, cause there was so much room for expression and it was just hands down fun.

Other games that were mentioned or happen to ring a bell at the moment:

Final Fantasy Tactics (GBA)-- the one game I'd like to have if I were stuck on a desert island. very versatile rpg

Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)-- best zelda game in my opinion, with a story that is touching (the nuances, not the fact that you save zelda

)

Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube)-- a system seller

Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)-- hard but incredibly fun if you keep with it

Halo (Xbox)-- 'nuf said

Half-Life-- see above

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (PC)-- an open-ended rpg of the stature of Morrowind. I tried to do all the side quests and ended up playing 300 hours or something. Great graphics, great story, great mechanics = tons of

Nope, Megafighter, all I have is GOTY.

i see a lot of people saying final fantasy tactics. i have the one for gba, and it's also one of my favorite games. i poured over 100 hours into it.

i've heard that the one for playstation was better. for all of you that have played both, which one is better?

Jeremy wrote:Fusion Frenzy: twisted system

aka

The jump and duck game.

Not only is Fusion a cool footbag game but this game rocks too. It's all about focus and flow and energy, but also a great critique of society and the true nature of capitalism and the class struggle. Truely a work of genius.
.

HAHAHAH! That is hilarious!! The proletariat fighting against their unjust and immoral bourgeoius oppressors. If only they could make it to the end they would find the secret to defeating capitalism. Unfortunately, for the tired and overworked working class, they will never make it to the end.

what's your record for twisted system? I cant remember mine since I sold my xbox a few months ago but I remember my friends and I used to play it religiously. I also used to love the fuzion frenzies at the end of every stage where you could pick on your opponents and steal their orbs!

The only video games I play now are the original 3 marios for NES, dusty diamonds softball for NES, International superstar soccer 2000 for n64 (im pretty sure im the best in the whole world at this game), and Fifa2005 for gamecube.

I killed marble madness as a kid, I feel enticed to take it out from its old dusty box and beat it again!

what is UT GOTY? I have 2004, is it a mod or something?

GOTY means game of the year.

The playstation one was at least twice as good, if not more. The problem I have with the GBA version is that the story is completely linear and doesn't give you any option but to follow that, and the stupid law cards are stupid.

If you like the GBA version, you will LOVE the playstation version (you might even be able to find an emulator or something for it if you don't have a PS 1 or 2).

tuomoruutufan · Post by **tuomoruutufan** » 05 Aug 2005 15:07

The story in tactics is great

Dont expect the ps version to be easy

Man oh man THERE ARE SOME TOUGH BATTLES

The game did become significant easy once you get the all predictable special charector at the 3/4 mark

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 05 Aug 2005 15:12

I played Tactics for PSX, and I wasn't terribly impressed (though I remember when the opening cinematics were, like, CUTTING EDGE!!!) I was a big FF fan too. I guess you have to really love strategy? So many people love that game :/

So who's excited for FF Advent Children? (And is it out yet??)

Yoshi's Island (Super Mario World 2?) for SNES is my girlfriend's favourite game (she doesn't really like videogames) and as soon as I watched the intro I loved it. It's definately one of the best games I've ever played!
