Top 5 All Time Games?

[Zak33]

/\ lmao...its gonna have a lot to do to beat GT1 as the defining moment in car racing.

For me...Need For Speed, Porsche 2000 is finsest

[spazman]

500+ cars, gorgeous graphics, loads of tracks, nurbogring!!! Its going to eat all previous GT games for breakfast

[Auran]

In no particular order;

1. Speedball 2 (Amiga) - I broke so many quickshot joysticks playing this game for hours either on 1 or 2 player. The Bitmap brothers really outdid themselves with this one. American Football meets Rollerball - and you've got to rate a game where you score as many points for sending off an opponent injured as you do a goal

2. Sonic Series (Sega) - I know that some people prefer mario, but I really liked the high intensity pace of these games.

3. Elite (Series) - Hit its peak for me on Amiga with frontier edition, never got tired of playing this game as it not only required piloting skill, but you also had several galaxies to explore, stacks of missions and the chance to be an intergalactic pirate

4. Eagles Wing (BBC) - Sort of a rocket raid / conyon fighter game except with much longer game time. Pilot a jet fighter down a canyon to destroy an enemy base, dealing with planes / boats / tanks / missile emplacements along the way. Took over 30minutes to get to the edge of the base, then all hell broke loose. Proper old style gaming with no save points or quick reload features to the begining of a level.

5. Gran Turismo series - The driving game simulator for people that like fast cars.

6. Tekken series - Fighting games come and go but this is still the most intuitive fighting game, with a huge variety of characters and fighting style.

7. Final Fantasy VII - Hero with big gun-sword, nuff said

My personal faves, in rough chronological order of appearance:

Elite on the Amiga: I'm going to have to agree with anyone that said this, I have no idea how many hours I whiled away on that game!

Super Mario World on the SNES: IMO the best Mario game they made yet, hugely fun.

Command and conquer series, they were all great, both single player and multiplayer, more hours spent on that series than any other for me I think.

The whole warcraft/starcraft series: I've just rediscovered Warcraft 3, and its still great. The second I only ever played in French though, which was a little weird!

Goldeneye on the N64: Great fun, great game, great multiplayer. Legendary.

..... i know Peter molyneaux went on to start Lionhead but it's just not the same and Black & White was a major disappointment.

Black and White is an ACE game...
I wasted almost all of year 8 and 9 of school in that game..
My creature would burn a village, then help bring it back to life.. then do a dance.. then eat all of the little children... then burn the village.. and so on untill the village was won over...

ahhh they were the days!

I was rubbish at B&W, my creature would literally E.S.A.D. I know I wasnt playing it properly but I just couldn't get into it, the constant calls of 'we need more...' and 'deaaaaaath' just got to me. I finished the second level by throwing rocks at the temple, how godlike am I?

Whatever happened to that voting this about the best game last year? What happened to the results.

me and Deckard got Black & White tatoo's...

it was an earth shattering game. One of the finest creations in history.

[Grey M@a]

The top 5 has to be:

Space Invaders
Manic Miner
Jet Set Willy
Mario Kart
Robotron

Today's games just don't cut it, bring back the gameplay instead of graphics that although the best in the world can not change a crap game from a crap game tbh.

Shining Force (MegaDrive) - My first ever RPG, blew me away.
Landstalker (MegaDrive) - Possibly the first ever game that I almost killed me waiting for. Saw the pics in an early early preview, and the graphics (for an MD) blew me away. The game was even better.
Unreal Tournament (PC) - Those graphics, that gameplay. Bless my cotton socks, it's pure genius, with flak cannons.
Flashback (MegaDrive) - Oh the running, the jumping, the bouncing (sorry, thinking of something else ). Fantastic.
Far Cry (PC) - Sorry peeps, but I think it's even better than Half Life (awaits the torrent of abuse from Half Life fanboys...or is that cultists?)

[Grey M@a]

only problem I have with HL2 is that Counter Strike 2 comes along with it

/me runs off to conjour up a plan t stop this being released

[Raz316]

whats wrong with CS2 getting released with it?

*Bump*

[directhex]

use the forum search facility :/

[Ceryndrion]

mine would have to be... in no particular order

Final Fantasy 7
Grand Theft Auto 3
Command & Conquer
Splinter Cell
Doom

All games that have truely defined a genre

[klarrix]

Took me a good ten mins to get this list down to a T...

5) Thief Dark Project (It was the first game to really introduce me into stealthing, of which i'm now an addict)

4) GTA 3 (goes without saying)

3) Morrowind/Divine Divinity (the two RPGs that truly pulled me in)

2) Bf1942 (my first real clan game, and had a lot of mates in my school who played also, so it was a community thing)

1) Zelda Ocarina of Time (the one game i would insist on everyone trying, just for that first time you get out onto Hyrule Field and realise that the game really is that huge.)
