Smile What is your favorite game of all time?

It's a tough one for me, but I was severely addicted to Killer Instinct 1+2. I'm sure I could have bought the machine with the amount of quarters I pumped into it.

So what's your favorite game?

Bond for N64, and 1080 snowboarding for N64.

I had the highest score ever in 1080, it was like double the high score posted in Nintendo Power magazine

oh shit and the first tony hawk...

too hard to pick.

I remember playing Quake I and II a lot.

But the all-time game that consumed most of my time has got to be Counterstrike.

I dont know what my FAVORITE game is though

wow great thread

nice, I bought a SNES for the sole purpose of playing Killer Instinct... damn.

this is a very tough question, and can be expanded to a number of levels, that I feel is necessary... if I had to pick one favorite, it would be Gran Turismo 4. LOL.

BUT - I would rather break it down into consoles and platforms - in no order:

arcade: Street Fighter

Atari 2600: Enduro

Genesis: tie - Super Street Fighter / Golden Axe

Nintendo: tie - Contra / WWF Wrestling (the one with Starman) / Tennis

PC: Unreal Tournament '99

SNES: Killer Instinct

Dreamcast: tie - Virtua Tennis / Soul Calibur

Colecovision: Donkey Kong Jr.

Playstation1: Gran Turismo 2

Playstation2: Gran Turismo 4

Macintosh: Dark Castle

Commodore 64: tie - Way of the Exploding Fist / BeachHead II

ok enough for now

Easy one for me. There's never been another game that entertained me as much. I know several other people that feel the same way.

hey guys, just found out there is an exhibit about the History of Video Games going on right now at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago... I heard it includes tons of playable machines... starts from the beginnings of video games, goes through all the generations, and on through future machines.... I think it will be sweet, hopefully I will go soon.
