Best Video Game Ever!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

r-type on the sega master system :cool: because it was incredibly hard.....(the only version of this game that was btw, because bonusses were very sparse, so if you lost one life during the game, you knew it was lost...so you had to keep reaaaally concentrated for hours, just to lose a life in level 7 or something by which you started throwing things at your tv :lol: )
I also spent hours on the early sierra on line games......

For me it has to be the original Resident evil for the playstation.

Like all great games, it is impossible to define why it is so brilliant

It's the sort of game you can spend all night playing (I blame this game for me messing up me A levels)

Load Runner on the 64 - was that a Llamasoft number? I loved Gridrunner and Matrix on the Vic-20 - how anyone could get Gridrunner in 3.5K is a miracle.

So...Gridrunner, OR Tomb Raider I, into which I still get lost for many many hours at a time.

Mmm... Blade runner was nice!

I liked The Longest Journey a lot! (but then, I have this thing for dragons...) :roll:

I borrowed "the journeyman projet" from my cousin some time ago. But it's still sitting on a shelf (yes, that cousin). Haven't tried it yet. Can any of you recommend it?

And of course there's all the monkey islands...

Speaking 'bout videogames... wasn't there someone on Dominion that was going to make one whith TSOM? Anybody remembers that? Anything came out of it?

Behave!

From recent years, Goldeneye on the N64 has to be mentioned. It was the only decent game for that particularly machine, and what a game it was - it had it all! :notworthy:

Gameplay, secret bits, decent music, bl**dy difficult but certainly not impossible...all leaving you with a desire to start playing it all over again once you've finished it, which you can't say for many games! ;D

Nothing's come close to it since, though Timesplitters 2 (playing @ the mo on PS2) is actually pretty similar to it. 8)

Everything on the C=64 was awesome!
California Games, attack of the mutant camels, maniac mansion, zak mc kraken, miami vice andandandand...OOHHHHH!!!!

LOVE IT!
And you know what... I still HAVE an orginal C=64 (you know, a thick brownish one, not the sissy white flat ones), with a Final Cartridge III!

A C=64 has the most beautiful blue screen I've ever seen...

What's even better...you can play ALL games of the C64 on your PC! Check out this site: http://www.computerbrains.com/ccs64 and download the ccs64 emulator! There are also several links to sites with games that match this emulator.
