For me the best game I have ever played is Final Fantasy VII. All time classic with
addictive gameplay and epic story. Have to say Zelda Ocarina Of Time comes a
close second in my list and just followed by Metal Gear Solid.

So what games do you guys rate tops.

[Goshawk]

Manic Miner..  ZX Spectrum 48k

As an avid gamer, it's really way too difficult for me to pick out one, single game.
Maybe Okami for PS2?

Very tricky to name a single game but my all time faves include:

Atari 2600:
Space Invaders
Asteroids

BBC Micro:
Chuckie Egg
Elite

Spectrum:
Jet Set Willy
Head Over Heels

Atari ST and Amiga:
Driller
Lemmings
Stunt Car Racer
Dungeon Master

Snes:
Zelda:Link to The Past

N64:
Zelda Ocarina
Mario 64
1080

PSX:
Ridge racer

PS2:
Ratchet and Clank series

Xbox:
Halo 2

PC, 360 and PS3 all still making better games so the best is yet to come for these systems

My god - I have been an avid gamer since Christmas 1980 when I got the Atari for Christmas

^Yeah I go back to 87 on the old Amstrad.

Gotta say some of the games you listed I would not
personally call classics but see if these games bring
back any good memories.

Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Mario Cart
Command & Conquer Red Alert
Dungeon Keeper
Warhammer Dark Omen
Goldeneye 007
Zelda Ocarina Of Time
Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy 7,8 & 10
Grand Theft Auto 3
Midnight Club 3

Probably some more I have missed. Just thinking last couple of
years the video gaming industry has not been knocking out too many
classics.............. maybe the reason for my reminiscing.

Heh, I just recently actually played through Zelda:LTTP again. Really love that game.

[hughden]

Grand Theft Auto 4

[TehBen]

Although I also played a lot of C64 and Amiga games like Civilization and Geoff Hammond's Grand Prix and GTA 1 , the first games that really amazed and enthralled me were GTA 3, Gran Turismo 1, Half Life (+Counterstrike), Command & Conquer and Need For Speed 1.
Though within the last 5 years I would also give praise to games such as Modern Warfare, Battlefield 2, and the latest GTA. All of which have further pushed the boundaries with respect to the whole package of features every good game should encompass.

There are definately a few others that I can't think of right now though

If there had to be a number 1, it would be Gran Turismo though

Personally it was GTA : San Andreas for me. Not the actual missions, but just toddling around on a bike, taking photos, enjoying the game world. But these would be up there as well-

Ocarina of Time
Rebel Star (that classic Spectrum title)
Harvest Moon
Dead Rising
Gradius III
The Parodius series (Japanese shmup thing)
Earthbound
Dragon Quest IV
Goldeneye
Sword of Fargoal


Elite would be up there but I could never dock in the dam_n station, and couldn't afford a docking computer.

Anything by R* games as well though- the GTA series, Manhunt, Bully, The Warriors, Red Dead Redemption... all great games.

[StarryVortrex]

How about the entire Half-life sequel (Half-life 1, 2, ep:1, ep2), they're definitely the best games i've played so far with a solid storyline
Portal and Bioshock is pretty decent too!

[Richb2004v2]

I think this topic has been covered a few times, but it's always a good subject to talk about. I think my favourite has to be GTA: San Andreas. There are those that like to knock these games but I think you really need to play them to realise how great they are. There is also a school of thought that only consider games from 20 years plus as classics. I've lost my enthusiasm recently and was very disappointed with GTA IV.

[Spoonman]

I love car racing games and Forza 3 is about the best Ive played, having said that Left 4 dead 2 has been getting a lot of play time lately as well.

[Gluestick]

I can remember staying up many hours playing the Quest for Glory, Kings Quest, and Monkey Island series.  They just don't make them like they used to anymore.  I also lost many nights playing Starcraft 1, Counterstrike, and Quake online.

[stefstimpy]

GTA: San Andreas if I had to choose one. It was so much fun, especially in comparison to GTA IV. Other memorable games are:

Batman:Arkham Asylum
Bully
Shadow Of The Colosssus
Manhunt
Monkey Island
NBA Jam
Super Mario Kart
Street Fighter 2
Super Mario World
Jet Set Willy

This year, I'm really looking forward to The Last Guardian and LA Noire as they both look amazing and come from great developers with a history of fantastic games

[wolf5370]

My first computer was a Commodore 64 - though I had access to a ZX81 and a Commodore Pet for a couple of years prior. Also had the original Atari console (later renamed 2600).

If I think of the game that I have played more than any other - either iteratively of in amassed hours, it has to be Civ II - Had all the Civ's (except Alpha Centuri) 1 through 5, and played a lot of IV and now V, but IU think I played Civ 2 for days at a time straight (shift work back then - 3 days on three days off ).

By machine:

ZX81: 3D Monster Maze
Pet: <No games>
Vic 20: Impossible Mission
BBC Model A and B: Elite (No question - only game worth playing on the BBC and it was truley AWSOME for its day!)
CBM 64: Raid over moscow (loved this game!)
Amiga: Dragons Lair 2
CBC464: <Can't remember>
PC: CIv 2/3/5 or Dragon Age Origin or Oblivion (though it gave me a serious headache on a very hires screen (graphics work terminal screen ) or Baulders Gate 2 or Netherwinters Night 2

...and relax

I am surprised nobody has mentioned the Original Warcraft and Diablo games, whilst not everyone's favorite genre they certainly were excellent games for their day and still are going strong (several versions/incarnations later)

Elite was defiantly an awesome game for its time and simply has to have its (rightful) place in the hall of classics

[quiksilva]

I can't choose one...

Populous
Sim City
Civ
Elite (Atari's space trading game)
Test Drive (Atari ST)
Kick off (Atari ST)
Golden Eye 007
Rainbow Six 3 (Original Xbox)
Ghost Recon & GR2 (Original Xbox)
Battlefield 2

If I had to choose one of these.... well its a toss up between Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six 3 (the originals) apart from the glitches I had the most fun playing this game, a great community playing via system link tunnelling software made by Team Xlink Kai. Ubi hasn't been able to recapture the magic with their latest iterations of these.. so if I had to choose.. it'd be Rainbow Six, for gameplay and the community.

[davejonesbkk]

Goldeneye on the N64

[Aussietrooper]

River Raider....atari

[maxme]

PC Operation Flashpoint, ARMA, Mount & Blade

[ianwuk]

Too many to list but FFVII, Gran Turismo (the first one), Metal Gear Sold (1 &2) and most Amiga games make my list of all time favourites.

Half Life 1 Death Match was tops!

[tingtong]

for me it was:

Need for speed ( couple of title from this franchise)

Age of Empire, especially II.

and the top:
Xcom or Ufo:enemy unknown...still never had any remake that would measure up to this, for gameplay.
