Best console shooter : Tough one between Goldeneye and PerfectDark

Mario Bros.3 was the shit
Double Dragon was the shit
The Empire Strikes Back on the Atari was the shit
Tomb Raider WAS AND STILL A BIG PILE OF SHIT. never got the appeal of that game. guess i was to old to fall for digi boobs
Onimusha was pretty cool
Very Eager for Robotech:Battlecry
Yars Revenge on Atari was fucking cool. You were like a high tech space insect or something.

Agian I state my case for Half-Life
Look at the pictures it spawned

http://www.planethalf-life.com/nostalgi ... yosaur.jpg

I mean look Doom2? Link? Seriously, decent storys but they are mostly rehashs, they do have the touch but not as much as other games

Serious from Half-Life we get a Great Game, Plus Opposing Force, Blueshift, TFC, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat to name the top few
Over 10K Maps have been made for the Mods, Over 10 Million people have played it and at LEAST 200k people are playing it or one of its mods at any one time

I mean look at CS Condition Zero

Hard to belive thats the Quake II Engine isn't it?

More than any other game ever made, Half-Life has replayability...

Unless you get into this wonderous board game we like to call Diplomacy, sometimes...but that isn't a video game, is it? Oops...Well, you said "game..."

Have you all forgotten about Castlevania?

I mean, where would we all have been without Castlevania?
It was Castlevania that brought mankind out of the stoneage!!

Azeron · Post by **Azeron** » 2002-10-02 01:52pm

What about the "Revenge of Shinobi"

That game was hardcore. Kicks mario right in the testicles.

I love Halo though. first FPS I really liked. then dark forces,

Hell anything made by blizzard

Warcraft 3 was a bit dissappointing. Its graphically cool, and a good story line, but the combat is not fluid like Starcraft. When there are lots of units on the map its really tough to cast a spell on a specific unit.

I give it a B, when most of their games are A's.

I cannot believe I forgot about Castlevania! And here I am wanting to pick up the latest for the GBA.

Gosh, I can't remember the name of this game... it was on the Genesis... you played a ninja (or was it a samarui) trying to find a princess. You would run and jump through a forest before getting to a building, all very medieval Asian-ish. I loved that game.

Oh, and one I want for my phone... Flicky

Sienthal · Post by **Sienthal** » 2002-10-02 03:34pm

Atari- Centipede and Space Invaders
NES- Zelda and Jackal, and (evils upon evils!) I have yet to try Final Fantasy
Genesis- Shining Force series, Shadowrun, and Earthworm Jim
SNES- Harvest Moon and Final Fantasy 2/3
N64- Goldeneye and Perfect Dark (My all-time favorite weapons and environment)
Playstation- Final Fantasy (All except 8 ), Grand Tourismo 2, and Armored Core
Dreamcast- Phantasy Star Online and Shenmue
Playstation 2- GTA 3, Grand Tourismo 3, Armored Core 2, Final Fantasy 10
X-Box- Morrowind, Halo, DOA 3 and I'm waiting for Ninja Gaiden
PC- Deus Ex, Warcraft 2, Planescape: Torment and Baldur's Gate series, Fallout Series, Freespace Series and I'm waiting for Deus Ex 2

My all-time favorite is: Deus Ex (Though if they get a free-style modern/futuristic RPG, that'll probably be it)

Quick Note: If you own an X-Box, DO NOT BUY DEAD TO RIGHTS! The most whoringly poor piece of shit adventure I've ever played.

Sienthal · Post by **Sienthal** » 2002-10-02 03:36pm

Oh yes, and Castlevania is of course excellent, my favorite being Symphony of the Night. The N64 freaking nearly killed my love for the series though. And you might be referring to an older Ninja Gaiden Kelly.

Couple more notes:
I didn't particularly enjoy the Metal Gear Series
MB3 was fun, but, as stated before, quite repetitive
I've heard good things about Wasteland, and am tempted to search for it.
Another early PC game I forgot to mention: Star Control 2!
Excellent game

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2002-10-02 03:40pm

No, it's not Gaiden... damn, next time I'm at the beach, I'll have to check my games.

Another cool game: Klax.

Post by **haas mark** » 2002-10-02 04:26pm

Castlevania, Dr. Mario, Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic PINBALL!!!

Hee!

Don't we love pre-PSX games?

Evil Jerk · Post by **Evil Jerk** » 2002-10-02 04:30pm

There are so many games I consider to be great, such as.. Xenogears (best plot ever), Chrono Cross, Skies of Arcadia, Arc the Lad II, Star Ocean 1&2, Star Control 2, Persona 2 and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (the King of Castlevania games, all Castlevania games are total and utter vile garbage when compared to SotN, so says I!!!

)

Post by **Dalton** » 2002-10-02 05:14pm

All time greatest games for me include Phantasy Star (the original and best), Super Mario Bros. 3, The Legend of Zelda (the original, LttP and OoT), Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 4, 5 and 6, Kirby's Adventure, Toejam and Earl, and Mega Man 3.

[EDIT] You'll have to excuse me; I'm more old-skool than most. The most advanced system I have is the PSX, and the only games I have for it are FF5 and 6 and Chrono Cross.

Post by **Sea Skimmer** » 2002-10-02 05:24pm

Golden Eye
Ghost Recon
Deus Ex
Perfect Dark
Desert Siege
Counterstrike-All

I will simply give you my top five

Panzar dragoon saga (saturn)
Starcraft (PC)
Soul Calibur (dreamcast)
Phantasy Star 2 (Genesis)
Zelda:OOT (N64)

Datana · Post by **Datana** » 2002-10-02 06:52pm

Since consoles and PCs have such different gaming styles, here are my top five for each.

FYI, my first console was an Atari 2600, which should date me quite properly. In addition, the only Sega system I've owned is the Dreamcast, so that's not as well represented as it could be.

Console:
5. Super Metroid (SNES)
4. Final Fantasy VI (SNES)
3. Valkyrie Profile (PSX)
2. Legend of Zelda (NES)
1. Xenogears (PSX)

PC:
5. Homeworld: Cataclysm
4. System Shock 2
3. Starcraft
2. Descent: Freespace
1. Deus Ex

Azeron · Post by **Azeron** » 2002-10-02 06:54pm

I am sorry, but freespace 2 was much better. I loved that fucked up admiral. I wanted to fight him to establish a terran empire around polaris.

Instead of naming the kick ass games of each system I'll just put this up.

The Legend of Zelda.

Most Honourable mention
Kabuki Quantum Fighter.

Both are NES games.

Solid Snake · Post by **Solid Snake** » 2002-10-02 09:32pm

Half Life, and Jedi Outcast are great too.
