Speedball 2 on the sega megadrive. I played it so much I burned out the cartridge

I can't say favorite of all time, but in sheer hours played I would throw down Final Fantasy Tactics against any other across my last 15 years of gaming.

Civilization II. No other game have I gone back to play over and over again in between new games.

Quest for Glory Series, above all else... wow I played those for sooooo long when I was a kid! Going through with each class and maxing all skills! I'm pretty sure I could still do QFG1 original in my sleep!

Yeah. All the versions except the PS2 version weren't as good as they should have been. The PS2 version was just like the previous games....the controls were a combination of Simulation and Arcade mixed into one. It was great. I couldn't play it on Xbox or Gamecube, it didn't seem right.

I loved HP2 on the PC., my favorite racing game. Awesome with a game pad at lans. one the the best looking too (especially on my 17in. flat pannel)

Speaking of NFS on PC, I couldn't believe how much better the PC version of Underground looked than the console versions. Usually console games look as good as PC games and better in some cases, but the PC version just owned the console versions visually, and that was based on my PC which is nearing it's replacement in gaming.

xenogears, it is still my favorite

The best of all time has to be Final Fantasy VII

THe best Ps2 is FFX

The best PC is StarCraft

The best SNES is Chrono Trigger

And the best N64 is Goldeneye

My all time favorite is GTA Vice City. I played it almost every day for nearly a year without getting sick of it. The only reason I stopped is because I finally started getting some new games. I've been into PC and console games for over 15 years and have never found a game with as much replay value.

After that, I'd say Ultima VI.

There were many that came to mind, but for me, there is really only one:

Half Life.

It changed gaming forever, and its still playable 5 years later.

The only way I can really choose my favorite game of all time is by how many hours I've spent playing it. So by that reckoning, it would be the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms series. I have never played a bad version of that game yet, and I've wasted many a weekend stealing other Rulers generals, then beating them into submission with their own guys.

The only other series that could come close to competing with that would be NHL 94-96, which was the favorite around the dorm during my college days.

In no order:

Perfect Dark
Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy 7
Super Mario RPG
NFL 2k3
Super Mario All-Stars
Sonic Mega Collection
MegaMan 1-6 (I like the SNES ones too, but they're NOTHING compared to the NES ones)

Final Fantasy 3/Chrono Trigger. I dunno, its close

I've got a few
Legend of Zelda: All of 'em
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy Series
KOTOR
Metal Gear Solid
Every Mario game in the main 'storyline'
Battlefield: 1942, DC and probably Vietnam
UT

Goldeneye 007
No other game was anywhere near as good, offered as much replay value, or is as much fun to play with friends...
And the amount of weapons and characters is just ridiculous

Goldeneye 007, Mario Kart 64, Mario 64, and Everquest.

Me and my brother used to play this on our Amiga. Great game - although we did tend to hit each other to try and put the other person off. I love the words "Ice Cream, Ice Cream" whenever a player had to be taken off injured.

just a short list off the top of my head:
Chrono Trigger
Fallout 1 and 2
The Monkey Island series
Super Metroid
Mario Bros 3
Duke Nukem 3D
Metal Gear Solid
TMNT: Turtles in Time
Goldeneye
The Commander Keen series
Link to the Past
Mega Man X

My small list of best games. for me, my personal opinion.Some based on quality of game, some based on being trendsetters.
FPS: Doom. the game that started the whole genre for everyone. I know castle wolfenstein came first, but doom wsa bigger, badder, and got everyone playing.
RTS: Dune. I once left a date with my girlfriend in college to play overnight. Went to bed at 8 in the morning.
XBOX: Halo. I know Ialready have an FPS, but to me Halo kicks so much ass. I like the story, the variety and intelligence of the enemy, the character of the npc soldiers, and the variety of gameplay.
RPG: Diablo 2: Great dungeon crawl, plus Blizzard's support and updates for the game has really expanded the playing of it.
Racing Sim: Gran Turismo. Goddamn that game sucked up a lot of time. That is the one reason I wish I had a playstation 2 instead of the XBOX. Sega GT 2002 is ok, but its no Gran Turismo.
Fighting game: Tekken 3. I loved Street Warrior 2, but it sucked up too many quarters in college. Tekken three I could play over and over until I unlocked all of the characters. Paul was the man.
Flying combat: Tie fighter. Good ships and good missions.

was -this- thread inspired by gamefaqs? :P

Any of the MEGAMAN games, MEGAMAN is da shiznit.. or somethin mmm hehehe

Spy Hunter. The first one. There is none higer. I STILL play it.

Splinter Cell

It just makes me smile the whole time Im playing it.
I cant wait for the sequel.

Road Rash 1 and 2 for Sega Genesis

Mortal Kombat 2-SNES
Ninja Gaiden 2- NES
Goldeneye-nintendo 64
lakers vs. celtics- sega genesis
contra-NES
Tiger Woods 2001- ps2
Mike Tyson's punch-out-NES

ZELDA and CRYSTALIS

Goldeneye 007

Me and my friends played it like a religion in highschool. My favorite memories include license to kill with pistols, and remote mines (and of course it was perfectly acceptable to watch your openents screen so you could detonate the mines when he ran past.) Ah memories....

Dig Dug and Pac Man.....Ha

Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time, Chrono Trigger and Goldeneye 007.

Sam 'n Max Hit the Road, Grim Fandango, Monkey Island 1-3.

final fantasy 3 no contest.

althou chrono trigger is in my que of games to be played :cool:

Final Fantasy VII.

I finished that bitch and just said "Damn." Say it every time I play through it, which is like once every 3 months.

I've been playing Wolfenstein 3D for most of my life. I finally got over 1,000,000 points a few weeks ago. :D

i beat all the weapons and after that i sat back and did a homer WOOHOO! :cool:

that was after i leveled all the chars to 99

Word.

Actually, one game DID offer as much replay value, fun with friends, and an insane amount of weapons and characters :)

Perfect Dark.

counterstrike...

I'd say...

FF3 (HATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATE - funniest translation ever!)
Super Mario World
Wipeout 2097
Metal Gear Solid <-yeah, that one's my favourite of all time actually....can't believe I lent it out...
