Doesnt matter when it was made or what system it was made for. whether its wii or playstation or gamegear.  what game was the most enjoyable to you?

My favorite game goes back to the snes days. super mario rpg: legend of the seven stars. and its going to be on the wii virtual console soon so im looking forward to that. but thats mine...now whats yours??? 

Chrono Trigger (SNES) or Shadow of the Colossus (PS2). Just depends on my mood at a given moment ;) The common thread between both games is that they're both so focused on making the gaming experience fun, engrossing, and accessible. Sometimes I think developers complicate games just for the heck of it.

One of my favorite has to be GoldenEye for N64.  I could play the second level in that game a hundred times consecutive and never get bored (along with several other levels).  I love the feel of the game, the shooting, the level design. Im a huge bond buff too so that helps.  I love it, probably my all time favorite game, the only game Ive ever never lost interest in. I cant say that about any of todays games, no matter how much I loved them AT THE TIME.

*whistle*
That's a tough one... gonna have to say..,

Command and Conquer: Red Alert


I've been interesting in warfare ever since, and ever since I got that game any large battle I learn about in class/see in a movie/hear about on the news... I picture it all happeneing in those 1995 graphics :D

It's really hard to pick just one. My life has been entwined with games and game history, and there is so much nostalgia, so many classic games, it's hard to choose. I have a serious affection for a great many N64 games, as that was my return to console gaming after a college hiatus. And I played almost everything to 100% completeion - Mario64, Mario Kart, Golden Eye, Blast Corps (never got all the platinums), DKR, 1080, Wave Race, and on and on.

I can remember playing Pong, Asteroids, PacMan, Donkey Kong, and their ilk when they were first out too.

However, there has to be one crowning achievement.

Even in the early days, gamers loved to find glitches in games. Sometimes to your benefit - find the one spot that enemy bullets can never hit you - other times for silly fun - find a way to slip past the barriers at the side of a road and drive forever through homes and over lawns.

I rememeber one day I was on break at work - a movie theater, and I watched someone play a new game in the lobby- the sequel to a truly dull and uninspired platformer. But there wasn't much else to do for my 15 minutes so I watched, and saw as he found one of those loophole. He managed to jump his guy out of the playing area to run around where the score was kept. We laughed as the counter ticked down. So he started running, and running, and....

Shit.

Warp zone.

We got played. The game WANTED him to do this. Talk about a paradigm shift. Here was a game designer actually encouraging players to poke and prod their way through his little video game world.

Of course that game was Super Mario Bros.

And I have never played a game the same way since.

The first game that I ever really played through and beat was Super Mario Bros. so I guess that's my favorite. It's kinda hard to choose, though.
