Your five favorite games of all time?
 

This was a pretty hard list for me to make, but it's kind of fun to think about sometimes.


5. Roller Coaster Tycoon - I loved how this game was so unrestrictive and let you be as creative as you wanted. One of the few singleplayer games that retained replayability after it was completed.

4. Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past - as far as sense of accomplishment after beating a game, this one is tops for me.

3. Super Mario 64 - as far as sheer fun goes, I don't see how this game is topable. Graphics still manage to hold up decently over time and game is always a blast to play.

2. Age of Empires: Age of Kings/Age of Conquerors - This game was amazing online. Easily have spent the most time on this one.

1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - game is perfect.


Honorable Mentions: Halo 2 (prepatch, that is - anybody else know of the dummy glitch?), Madden 2006 (I played that a lot online), KOTOR (only real RPG I've played - I really enjoyed it).


this entire list is subject to change if Twilight Princess stays amazing.

Re: Your five favorite games of all time?
 

in no particular order, for sheer moments of brilliance and more moments of thinking to myself "this is the best game i've ever played" than other games,

xenogears
chrono trigger
final fantasy ii
zelda OOT
tales of symphonia

honorable mention: super metroid, castlevania: symphony of the night, a link to the past, final fantasy III, final fantasy VII, lufia: fortress of doom

twilight princess could be up there but it's too new in my mind and i did blow through it in like a week

Re: Your five favorite games of all time?
 

Dr. Mario - Hands down #1 - All others really don't matter.

Re: Your five favorite games of all time?
 

1. NHL 94 - SNES

2. Metal Gear Solid - PS1

3. Super Mario Kart - SNES

4. Blades of Steel - Ninentendo

5. BC Quest for Tires - Colecovision

Re: Your five favorite games of all time?
 

I was thinking about doing a post like this too. I'm not sure of the order, but my list definitely has:

Planescape: Torment
Ocarina of Time
Oblivion
Metroid Prime
Half Life

Honorable mentions to NHL 93/94 for Genesis, KOTOR, Civ, Quest for Glory, Mario Kart & Baldur's Gate. (If I really forced myself to think about it, I might even move some of these into the top 5.)

Re: Your five favorite games of all time?
 

5. Mike Tyson's Punchout
4. Zelda (NES)
3. Zelda - A Link to the Past
2. Chrono Trigger
1. StarCraft

Honorable Mentions: Super Mario Bros 3 and Final Fantasy 6

Re: Your five favorite games of all time?
 

Zelda Ocarina of Time - The most perfect video game I've ever played.

Goldeneye - The best multiplayer game ever and my favorite FPS.

Metal Gear Solid 3 - I never played MSG 1, so I can't really comment on whether or not it's the best MSG in the series. I just loved the idea that you couldn't just run through levels shooting everybody.

Winning Eleven Soccer 9 - Definitely the most fun sports game I've ever played. It's pretty much a perfect soccer simulation.

Super Mario 64 - I was just completely blown away when I played this game. I could even get my dad, who thinks video games are dumb and a waste of time, to play it for a while.

I wanted to throw in Lakers vs. Celtics somewhere, but I couldn't bump anyting else out. Super Metroid, Zelda: A link to the past, and tetris just missed as well.

Re: Your five favorite games of all time?
 

Tecmo Super Bowl is far and away my favorite of all time.

Re: Your five favorite games of all time?
 

Subject to change upon further reflection, but my initial thoughts are:

5. Mario 64
4. Final Fantasy VI
3. Goldeneye
2. Tecmo Super Bowl

Re: Your five favorite games of all time?
 

5. Goldeneye
4. Final Fantasy 6

Honorable mention for Street Fighter 2, Super Metroid, Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island, Super Mario RPG, Sonic and Knuckles, MGS1, Final Fantasy 4, Ocarina of Time, and possibly Twilight Princess (haven't finished yet, but there's potential for top 10).

I loved this game, and still play it periodically.

Re: Your five favorite games of all time?
 

1. Zelda OoT - best game I've ever played, by far.
2. Halo 1 - spent by far the most time on this game of any I've ever played. Best launch title ever for me (at least until I get my Wii and play Zelda).
3. THPS 2 - beat this to 100% completion with all characters (gaps included) on the PC and with every character on N64 and again on Xbox (Tony Hawk 2x).
4. NBA Jam on SNES - played this way too much with my friends when I was younger.
5. Halo 2 - I haven't spent as much time as I'd like with this, but another awesome effort by Bungie. Online is sick.

Secret of Mana with the Multitap was one of the sweetest games ever. Still great without, but with it it was awesome.
