Favorite Game Series

Post by Anarchist Bunny »

Which game series(like GTA, Metroid, Megaman, Final Fantasy, not a specific one) is your overall favorite.







***Disclaimer: Yes thats how I wanted the poll to be, I just wanted to see if Zelda could beat all others combined, any posts mentioning or flaming me for messing up the poll or making a biased poll is a legal agreement to these facts:

1) You are an idiot, and should seek treatment so that you'll read a thread before replying to it.
2) I'm now your god

That is all***

I actually really liked the 3 Discworld games, and not just because they were Discworld.

And FF, of course

I believe it can now be stated quite accurately that you have no chance to survive make your time.

I'd have to say the Mario series, beacuse it covers a wide range of games, some good, some not, but mainly the good and well-known ones.

The Space Quest series. Each game had its quirky charms.
The revolution is successful, but survival depends on drastic measures. Your continued existence represents a threat to the well-being of society. Your lives means slow death to the more valued members of the colony. Therefore I have no alternative but to sentence you to death. Your execution is so ordered.
