x WhiTestJoker Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I would say Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 64. I chose only 2, but pretty much any Nintendo 64 game(thank god my N64 still works). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragarach Luin Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Wolfenstein released one year before Doom did by the same developer, so if one is more responsible for the influence of FPS games today it would be Wolfenstein. Doom came later and was essentially just a horror based version built on the same game code and design, even the HUD layout was near identical. Regardless, someone else would have come up with that idea by now, I doubt highly that the FPS genre wouldn't exist today if Doom or Wolfenstein was never made, someone within a few years would have built something similar. As much as games have come along and evolved to think no one would create a first person shooter by now makes little sense. Don't get me wrong, i'm not debating to be a jerk, it's just an alternate viewpoint from someone who also grew up during that generation of gaming and loved Doom and Wolfenstein when I was younger. I just feel like logically saying "Without Doom, first-person shooters as we know them today wouldn't exist" is tremendously inaccurate. It wasn't THAT original of a concept that no one else would have thought of it in the last 21 years, but props to them for being the pioneer. Came on to this thread, saw the post you're referring to, and was just about to say nearly this exact thing. Ninja'd, I guess. Now, it isn't totally fair to say that such-and-such WOULD have eventually happened, so whoever did it first isn't that impressive. Someone would have eventually set foot on the moon, but everybody knows who Neil Armstrong is. With that said, I think you're right: Wolfenstein was more of a game-changer than Doom. And I'm saying that as someone who enjoys Doom more. Sure, it refined the gameplay and concepts, but Wolfenstein blazed the trail and proved that FPS games could work (that statement seems a bit silly in a gaming world flooded with FPS titles).

Rymt Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'm only 17 so my favourite old game wouldn't go as far back as some other people but whatever. I would have to go with the original Halo. The one where it all began. The great days of having 15 of my buddies over and blasting each other all through the night. Great times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I play through final fantasy VII at least once a year and I can't stay off the first few Crash Bandicoot games either. I still play Age of Empires 2 and Doom 1 and 2 on the PC too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragilesound Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2. I like my twin stick shooters, but this one is my favorite. Especially Pacifism mode. There's nothing like having the whole screen full of enemies and your ship making a small path through the gates with explosions everywhere.

Sampson Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Mine's definitely Sonic Adventure 2. No matter how much I play that game, I will never get tired of it. It's just so well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggiez Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hard to pick a favorite seeing as there have been so many good games through the years. However I would probably go with either Chrono Trigger or Secret of Mana. I loved those games and have played them more than once. Not that often I do that with an rpg (nowadays things are slightly different with achievements sometimes making you play rpgs several times).

TitlingFrame52 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'd definitely have to choose Doom/Doom 2 cause it is still an amazing game and mods(like Brutal Doom) keep it fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudO2 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 For me it has to be Sonic 3 and Knuckles, LOZ: Majoras Mask, Fantastic Dizzy, Mario Sunshine and Mario Bros 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrehearsed Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 KOTOR and Jade Empire - the best bioware games, still unmatched Conkers Bad Fur Day - there will never be a game to match the insane glory of this masterpiece Morrowind - Oblivion and Skyrim are both just dumbed down versions of this MGS 3: Snake Eater - as it is still the best in the MGS franchise Shadow of the Collossus - still untouchable, a ture piece of art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveBodom Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Dark Forces 2, this game got me into gaming and Star Wars as a whole, parents bought a PC from my dads work mate when i was around 8 and this came pre-installed on it (along with age of empires 2 but ill get there) and everything just took off from there. I loved it, the story, the gameplay, it just had me hooked as id never experienced a game like it before, i know it really hasnt aged all that well, but that game, and then the Mysteries of the Sith expansion, followed by Jedi Knight 2, Jedi Academy etc, had me sold. Age of Empires 2 is another close one, school friends started using gamespy and i followed suit, i must have lost months and months to playing AOE2 online, i was terrible, but i loved it, the campaign/map editor etc too. And also the more obvious Sonic 2, i still remembering opening my megadrive for christmas in 1993 and being hooked from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rymt Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 one of my first an most favorite games. Banjo Kazooie games were so awesome. I remember playing them for the first time on the N64 and loving them. Eventually got them on the Xbox 360 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmona Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Streets of Rage 2 - I've completed this game so many times on my old sega. My brother and I would try and beat the game punching only, jump kicking. So many hours wasted when I was younger. Kung Fu - Trying to beat this game on my nintendo was so hard for me. I still hear the level music in my head when I think about this game. Battletoads - SOOO much fun and SOOO hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
