Four player Dokapon Kingdom was probably the most fun I had ever.

SimCity Creators was really fun for me when I was littler. Ahhh, the memories. XD

Good question because it makes you realize how "fun" is only a tiny part of the overall gaming experience (for better or worse). Off the top of my head, feelings like tension and excitement, wonder, frustration, addiction are other qualities and reasons to why the overall gaming experience is satisfying (can you come up with other good words to describe the qualities of a satisfying gaming experience?).

When I think "pure fun" I think "Arcade gameplay" rather than the typical HD game. In a modern gaming world that means Nintendo, and unfortunately I'm outside the world of Nintendo.

So for me "fun" is old coin-op Arcade games with the Mame emulator on PC.

Mainly Bomb Jack.



But out of HD games I think the highest proportion of fun moments I got was from Red Dead Redemption and Vanquish

A game that I found extremely fun to play was the original Waverace. The water physics really added a new dimension to what could have been an ordinary racing game. Too bad I only got a minigame version of it on the Wii. :(

This is where I have to step in and add some of my "Who cares?" video game knowledge.

You are clearly speaking about Wave Race 64, but the original Wave Race was a Gameboy game released in 1992. It was a top down racing game which already used the buoys course design found in the later home console games.

Another interesting thing to know: This game wasn't released in Europe until 1997 where it piggybacked on the release of Wave Race 64.

On topic: Picross 3D. A logic puzzle that is only possible on a video game system. It's simply fascinating to remove small blocks out of a big block to see what kind of thing comes out at the end.

Who cares?

 

Seriously though, I didn't know about the Gameboy game.  Was it any good?

You might wanna try Mighty Bomb Jack on the NES. It's kind of hard, but fun too.
