Mine has to be the original Unreal. Singleplayer was the best. I can't remember playing a game that had me addicted to finishing it as much as Unreal did. I guess that was back in 1997 or 98 can't quite remember. I know i was running it on a P2 266 with 128MB ram and a voodoo2 card. Just for Craps and giggles i reinstalled that game about a month ago to see how well the graphics hold up and damn i must say they are pretty awefull compared to how i remember them.

I'm going out on a ledge here but I wasn't able to do that much gaming. Mainly because I was stuck with a 486 comp for a good while until my parents upgraded to a amd athlon

Hugo's House of Horror ranks up there as a pretty close 2nd. I loved the old command line based games like that..The entire game was just a great puzzle. Plus the game music was great. Classic Screenshot..look at those graphics

However I think that my all time favorites is The Island of Dr. Brain. It was such a great puzzle based game. I used to play that game for hours. It's a complete classic. Thinking about it now makes me wanna go try to find it (its around somewhere)

The game that had me playing the most was Star Wars Battlefront. I remember waiting for the DSL to be hooked up so I wouldn't have to dial in to play that game anymore. Before that it would have to be MicroProse's smash hit Master of Magic. Still have a copy of that game and it works on XP except for sound.

Without a doubt... Grim Fandango.

You can't hide from the Grim Reaper. Especially when he's got a gun.

Battlefield 1942

I bought a new motherboard and processor 3 weeks ago so I can finally use my 6800 properly (I can't afford the new stuff yet, still stuck with AGP). This is the first time I haven't installed it after a reformat since the game came out back in 2002. Goldeneye for the N64 takes a close second and when that comes out for the virtual console for the Wii I'll be grabbing that as fast as I can.

To put it in a graphical representation (and so I have an excuse to play with the table icons):

Honestly... I would have to say it is Interstate 76... not sure how many of you might remember it or know of it, but it was fun blend of racing/demoderby/apocolyptic mad max road warriror kind of stuff. Not to mention driving muscle cars, suping them up and putting on flame throwers!!!!!

PC: Planetside was my favorite for quite awhile. 1942 definately ranks up there for straight FPS.
Apple: Sid Miers Pirates
Original Nintendo: Mike Tysons Punch Out
Super Nintendo: Uncharted Waters/Sim City
PS: Madden
Xbox: Halo/Halo2

One of my favorite games of all time was Starcraft. I was addicted to that for like 6 years that is all I ever played.

Wow.. of all time?!

PC: C&C: Red Alert II. I still remember playing it for the first time in college when it first came out. 8 of us got together that night and played an intense 3 hour game. In fact, I defeated my roommate so fast, he began to cry and locked himself in the bathroom. Only when we promised to buy him some bread sticks from the local pizza shop did he come out. Many a nights were spent playing 8 player campaigns. Fun times indeed.

Non PC: Super Mario World for SNES.

The game that really did it for me was FORSAKEN. It was the first Glide based game designed for 3Dfx Voodoo Cards! The fire, graphics, and everything else was simply amazing compared to DoomII and the like!

The Shoctor · « **Reply #11 on:** May 09, 2007, 02:26:59 PM »

I think I still have a copy of that game! i am going to have to dig it up.

The game I found myself most anxious to get home and play to completion was Deus Ex. It had a good balance of action, strategy, and puzzle solving. If you want to get old school, there was game I played incessantly on my Commodore64/128 called Beam Rider. It was so simplistic in its nature that you didn't get distracted with flashy graphics or over done sound production. It was simply addicting and all you cared about was the gameplay and killing that damn mother ship. I don't remember how far I got into it, but I know I wasn't anywhere near finishing all 99 levels of it, though I did get farther than my dad ever did and he played just as much as I did. If you have a C64 emulator you should definitely try it out.

Hmm I don't know why Deus Ex never crossed my mind in considering a favorite. I only play it more than once a year! Friggin' kickass game. Great now I have the intro song stuck in my head.

Dummm da da dum dum daaa dummm da da dum dummmm....

Descent was the one that got me started in gaming. I remember staying up all night playing it and not realizing it.
