Favorite Console Games

Well, we have so much free time to spend now, lets talk about the games we knew and loved before "online". Try to think of 5 games you at one time loved and post em here. They didnt have to be state of the art, just ones that you truly enjoyed.

Lets see ...

1) Nintendo "Crystalis"
2) Nintendo "Conflict"
3) Super Ninteno "Super Conflict" (lol)
4) Sega "Dune"
5) PS "Final Fantasy Tactics"

I cant name to many in PS cause by the time it came out I was to involved in online games like darkness falls with gamestorm LOL ... OMG text based RPGs

Well, I'll reach back a bit:

Pong with the little twisty controllers
Atari 2600 Adventure
Zork on a TRS-80 (loaded from cassette)
Conquest on a DEC VAX

.... time warp ...

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on PS/2

hmm..it's been sooo long

well PRE online gaming for me I liked...

#1 The sims (own all the expansion packs) (PC)

#2 Boggle (PC)

#3 Donkey Kong Country(Super Nintendo)

#4 Super mario (gameboy) Yes, I confess I used to *sneak* my son's gameboy advance to play it ESPECIALLY when I had to go to lengthy Doctors visits. Some mom's read magazines (sometimes I do too) but I really loved playing that game *giggles*

#5 Theme Park (playstation 1)

(edited a few times now cause well ..I can't type hehehe )

Ninja Gaiden

Halo 2
Final Fantasy Tactics
Tiger Woods Golf
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 7
Silent Hill

Im sooo pissed ! I cleaned up the old PS and went to play Tactics tonight while I waited, my step son has it at his house ! Bah ! Well, its almost time to get dressed to go out and party ... RL tonight, what a concept.

I play


1,Casino on Net
2, sims online(i am having problems logging on to this too something to do with and updater)

3,New Horizones or Dreamscape

i am not into playing nintendo and stuff like that

Bally Professional Arcade - Gorf
Genesis- Landstalker, Joe Montana Sports Talk Football, New Horizons
SNES- All the Final Fantasy games
PS2-GTA III, VC and SA, NASCAR 2005, NASCAR Dirt to Daytona, Road Trip

Funny you should mention that. He came into the Costco I work at today with his wife and mother. One of my co-workers, who was cleaning up the liquor department, said hello to him and wished him a new year, Tiger responded with the same. My co-worker then advised Tiger to take a look at the excellent golf clubs we have on aisle 314. lol. I was told they got passport photos taken because they were going to Sweeden, and that Tiger slipped out soon after because people were asking for his autograph and gaining a crowd. His mom and wife then continued to purchase the items that they needed. I only met his wife and mother as I helped them buy another membership. Never did see Tiger myself, ahh well.

Anyway. My favorites would have to be:

Carnival [(Atari) i was also able to have the full blown arcade machine in my living room for a month when that game was new. That was awesome]
Combat (Atari)
Metroid (NES)

Those are the ones that really stick out in my mind. I didn't play much console games after NES. I would play all the consoles after that at my friend's house (as he had them all, which was good for me!. hehe). Mostly after that it was PC games for me, well and the Apple 2e before that. Oregon Trail! lol.

1.Half-life 2
2.(A VERY close 2) Vampire The Masqurade : Bloodlines

(Ironic? The only two games using the source engine are my top two!)
3.Deus Ex
4.Deus Ex 2
5.Meteroid Prime 2: Echos

Well, some of there are computer, not console games... and this is in no particular order:

Deus Ex
Deus Ex: Invisible War
The Longest Journey
Tetris
Final Fantasy 6
Aztec
Impossible Mission
Second Life

Well, not console games, but I collect and restore vintage arcade machines, so:

Sinistar
Space Invaders
Reactor
Rip-Off
Scramble
Marble Madness

N64 Zelda Ocarina of Time.

Any game made by Nintendo, especially the Zelda series, and i love all platformers on the SNES. I would not touch a PS game with a bargepole, far too many are based on films etc and were made with a low budget. HALO ROCKS!!!

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Final Fantasy 6, Final Fantasy 8, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy Tactics, Legend of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, "The Zelda Series (minus the Adventure of Link, Windwaker, and Majora's Mask,)" Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 9, Final Fantasy 10, Baten Kaitos (This is a new one for GameCube. Check it out. It's a postmodern RPG,) Kingdom Hearts (If you grew up on Disney films, you absolutely have to try this one; Playstation 2...) "The Mario Bros. Series" (totally obligatory; that includes Super Mario RPG!) "Donkey Kong Series" (straight up into Donkey Kong 64, not including that recent bongo drum game that just came out...) Star Fox 64, Hm.. Heh, well, I know I'm missing some, and I'll probably kick myself for it in the morning.

Final Fantasy Tactics, definitely. And FF VI & VII, too, though to a lesser extent.

I only had a console late in my "yputh", so was already too much into college and studying to play many games, hence my short list. but, bah

any final fantasy
any zelda
any tomb raider
any silent hill
any resident evil
vampire bloodlines
prodject zero II - crimsom butterfly

[text removed via texter]

Also, Jova, when you say "any resident evil" does that include Resident Evil: Survivor? That game was just horrible. And there's also "Resident Evil Deadaim" which i have yet to see or play.

Katamari Damacy

This is an incomplete list. I've played video games for just about 30 years.

Atari 2600
River Raid
Asteroids
Yar's Revenge

Atari 5200
The Dreadnaught Factor (really big ships!)
Berzerk
Missile Command (better than the 2600)

Sega Master System
Zillion (also an ok anime series, never released on DVD)
Govellius (first RPG I ever played)

NES
Super Mario 3
Startropics (underrated, but fun)
Tetris (addictive)
Dr Mario (also addictive)
The Legend of Zelda
Metroid

Sega Genesis
The complete Sonic the Hedgehog series
Road Rash 2 (it was road rage before the term was invented )
Paperboy (really liked the arcade version too)

Sega CD
The Adventures of Willy Beamish (frustrating load times, but funny)
Sonic CD
Panic! (weird, quirky, but fun)
Earthworm Jim (the ultimate version, with Sega CD exclusive levels)

Gotta also mention the Sega CD releases from Working Designs. Working Designs did translations of Japanese RPGs. I have no idea what the original Japanese titles were about, but their English translations were hilarious. Not in that "Engrish" way, but very witty. They released 4 Sega CD titles:

Lunar
Lunar II
Vay (pronounced "Vie"
Popful Mail

Popful Mail was originally called "Popple Mail". Apparently, Working Designs changed the name because of the title character's enormous breasts and the chain mail armor she wore.

My list ends here. In 1995, I was trying to decide whether I would go Playstation or Saturn. I decided "none of the above" and went to PC games. Never looked back, and never bought another console.

This will probably reveal how long it's been since I've played any console games..

N64 - South Park
SNES - Nobunaga's Ambition
SNES - Rock `N` Roll Racing
SNES - Romance of the Three Kingdoms
N - Bubble Bobble

The only computer games I've ever really gotten into...

Summer Games (Com 64
Gabrial Knight
Diablo
Civilization II
The Sims
The Sims II
Second Life

GT3.

They make other games?

PSX - Xenogears
SNES - Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 3

Zelda on the old gameboy, SNES, and 64.

And how can I forget Megaman? God, I could go on all night so I'll leave it at that.

I backed up lots of my PS games and sold my system years ago. I still have FF tactics, I just use an OS emu to play them using tv-out and a wireless controller.

emulating can even make the games look better if you have a decent comp
