What was the best game ever?

i think my all time favourite game forever will always be Metal Gear Solid. BTW, Greyfox pwns :stuck_out_tongue:

OMG! THEY DO EXIST!
i had no idea there were other people who actually played tetrinet! that game is so crazy that itā€™s fun! honestly, i was at a lan party and we were all about to get a game of WCIII going when one guy starts playing tetrinet. needless to say, itā€™s all we played for the rest of the night.
as for the blender tetrinet server, iā€™m with ya! if you start it, i know four other geeks whoā€™ll play (they donā€™t know much about blender, but oh well). hopefully itā€™ll be the original tetrinet though, i tried tetrinet 2 and it was insane, i just kept getting my blocks all mutated.

to sum upā€¦
tetrinet: w00t
MGS: w00t w00t
:stuck_out_tongue:

OK - hereā€™s my take:
Standard: Chess
Computer: MechWarrior 2
Console: King of Fighters 99 (on the Neo Geo!)

I only have the DOS version of MechWarrior 2 and I upgraded my system before finishing itā€¦does anyone know if the Windows 95 version would work under Win2k? Not the best graphics, but it would still be fun to beat the game!

WTF? Where were all of you when i posted my chess topic?

Anywho: Hereā€™s my list of favorite games:

Halo
Super Smash Bros

Sonix.

2)Mario (any of them on systems up to/including SNES, mario2 not cool tho)
3)Donkey Kong Country
4)Myst (donā€™t hit me)
5)Frogger (for atari)
6)FF7 (The second best rpg ever, no, no not more hitting)
7)Warcraft 2 (please stop hitting me, pleas)
:stuck_out_tongue:

I got burnt out on chess, so I started developing a version of chess with all of the moves, but with D&D style combat to capture pieces. In other words, if a pawn tried to capture a knight, unless the knight had been weakened from previous attempts, the pawn would most likely be captured instead.

Anyway, the best game would have to be Hitman. I will most likely change my answer when I get Hitman 2 or Splinter Cell, but right now itā€™s Hitman.

Sweet! Another Metal Slug fan. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

  1. Metal Gear Solid
    Thatā€™s what I call entertainment. The atmosphere caught me from the first to the last second. Playing it on ā€˜Extremeā€™ was really an experience.

  2. Mario 64
    I must admit I never spent more time with a single player computer gameā€¦ didnā€™t stop until the last of the 120 stars was MINE!)

  3. Counter-Strike
    Still the best on LAN. Donā€™t slap me!

Has anyone tried three way chess?

I would have to say frisbee, volleyball, and racketball. I never liked computer games, myself.

Late night, a bottle of wine and a game of Go is nice.

ā€¦ I gotta stop, or this post will be much too long!

About mech2, I got the titanium trilogy. I never got the installer to work under my version of windows 2000, it had to do with some code that ms apparently removed from windows. Old api calls I think.

Windows XP does have an entry in the application compatiblity toolkit database for the titanium trilogy games. You may want to check ebay to find these editions.

Iā€™m getting XP later this week, Iā€™ll PM you if I get it working.

PC:
Descent I (My brother and I use to go to a friends house and play this all the time)
Descent II (I like the added powerups and enimy ai)

:o

Another one of my favs!!!

BTW, for FF7 fansā€¦

http://www.rpgamer.com/games/ff/ff7ac/ff7ac.html

imho FF7 is the best, no doubt

Even though coolness is a factor, the ability to keep me entertained indefinitely is the main thing when it comes to my favorite game, and two take the cake:

Phantasy Star Online Episode I&II (GCN)
Animal Crossing (GCN)

Outcast.

Simply the best RPG Iā€™ve played. 10$ in a bargain bin.

Console:

1: FF7 (there can be no other)
2: Super Mario World (The one for SNES, woo)
3: Zelda Windwaker

But really ive never been much of a console fan.

Computer:

1: System Shock 2, play it in a dark room with headphones or a surround setup. I dare you.
2: Freespace 2, The only game that i sat at my computer for a day straight playing until i beat it.
3: Diablo 2, i bought it the day it came out, and it still doesnt get old.

And just for fun the worst game ive ever played: Either Dai Katana for systematically violating every law of game design and seeming to intentionally make the most un-fun game ever. Or perhaps Fade to Black, which had the worlds worst control setup that couldnt be changed.

Hmmā€¦ I enjoyed FFIX more than VII, but thatā€™s just because I like old-fashioned stuff. I think FFVII is better in terms of story & extra features.

Thanks you guys now I can make a poll
