+1 X-com

Nominating Ms. Pac Man for being a great and timeless classic that, back in the day, every kid put a ton of quarters into at some point. It was by far the biggest thing, when I was little I can remember arcades still having them 10 deep and every one in play. Simple, fun, challenging, and still plays as well as it ever did 30 years later, can't ask much more of any game.

+1 Super Mario Bros - it was a very long game and you could play for a while. Lots of levels where at a time where most arcade games really didn't.

+1 X-Com: UFO Defense for most enjoyable and engaging game ever, turn-based or not. The night missions with aliens popping out from behind farms always kept me awake.

+1 Half-Life 2 for my best shooter-genre

+1 to Portal 2

-1 to Portal - great game, but too short, and not as good as Portal 2

+ 1 D2 LOD

I have good memories about D2, spend so many nights hunting players and killing them in Hardcore with a lvl9 assasin. Tigerstrike FTW!

I find it very surprising that nobody mentioned "Kingdom Of Loathing" so far.

It's a free webgame, no disks, no downloads, no advertizing, just create an account and play for free.

An adventurer is you!

Google it, you'll be surpised.

+1 for Suikoden II

Game is goo enough to get a picture too


Nominate Super Smash Bros 64

-1 to MW2, game was terrible imo. Wasn't better than WaW or BO.

+1 to Punchout assuming it's Mike Tyson's Punch Out!
If it isn't Mike Tyson's Punch Out then -1 for it and nominate Mike Tyson's Punch Out.

Kind of surprised Tecmo Bowl isn't on the list yet

Madden 95 is the best football game of all time.


Edit: I still have Tecmo Bowl for my NES downstairs, but it's just not fun. Madden 95 SNES all the way.

wtf tsb is so good

+1 sm galaxy
+1 earthbound - just a spectacular game
+1 smb3
+1 sm world
+1 lttp
+1 tetris
+1 sf2

my list

Tecmo Super Bowl NES Super was much better than the original (defender in front of receiver didn't auto mean INT [sometimes it was still a catch, had a jump catch graphic, TD celebrations, and it kept stats! Was fun racking up all those sacks, rushing/rec TD's, etc etc. Yeah, it's really dated now but everybody and their snickering of thinking they'd surprise me with the NT dive trick (fu Bob Nelson) and me smashing the hell out of them for using it was always fun.

Mariokart 64. I spent too much time on this game (I even speedran it via timetrials instead of say accomplishing something :/). Four player vs with good players is actually decent to watch.
The knock on the game for me was that battle mode is long and boring with anyone who's actually good. SNES was worse though.

Goldeneye. Yes it's aged but it's not stupid like today's regenerative health nonsense. Also, settings make a difference (for whoever argued control style sucked--you can change it to the buttons--which a lot of the good people did). Game was an innovation. As for the argument that it's not as good now is terrible because Jerry Rice (or insert w/e favorite sports figure) would royally suck as a receiver now but he's still the best of all time. It had a sequel in Perfect Dark (obv nobody's mentioning) where you could shoot the bots in versus multi of varying ability (dark sims in the xbox 360 remake are likely what they were supposed to be but not enough memory in the 64 to utilize it).

(I played this a few months ago vs basically the best in the world...so yeah I didn't win)

Blast Corps
I enjoyed this a lot. Made by rare (GE/PD/Banjo series among others) and you blow stuff up! What's there not to like? I did get all the platinums in this game which people thought was pretty hard. Little replay value after that though which makes probably means it'll be very low on a top list.

Heroes of Might and Magic 2
I played II gold edition the most out of this series (had all the full editions through IV before giving up when 3do gave up). 10k+ sprites = bam your dragons just died muhahahaha.

Super Smash Bros Melee
I was a big fan of this and did a little on the competition front. I thought it was a lot better than the 64.

the -1's
GTA III's another badly dated game but isn't getting the rage there. I liked GTA IV better. Only downing it b/c of the high # of +'s. Shouldn't be quite as high.

Smash bros 64. Ok, hard to give a +1 to a game that was p damn boring in the end. Oh look everyone's picking Ness again. Really was outdated when melee came out imo.

Bioshock seriously?

the 0's but just feel like commenting
had totally forgotten about lemmings 2. Pretty sure I put that into a PC via floppy disks.

edit--yeah somewhat nostalgia here, but everything's 100x more awesome when you're a kid

+1 GTA 3 vice city.
unlike gta 3, vice city was really jaw droppin and fun.
If you replay it now it's still great due to its clear graphics and awesome atmosphear.
GTA 3 has poorly aged and didn't have that maturity of VC.

I prefer VC to san andreas which is too boring imo(still great but the perfect atmosphear of vc does it,soundtrack,flashy miami,colorfull characters).

I used Ness back in the day and did pretty well with him but at the end of the day he's too slow to compete at the expert level.

Some cursory research shows that Ness is considered a below-average character: http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Tier_list
