Not too late yet, while the first two might be a bit tricky to find they are still available and works to play on today's computers. Well worth the effort in my opinion.

[Serpentine Cougar]

Warcraft 3

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Super Smash Bro.s (N64)

Final Fantasy X

KotoR

Nox

Myst

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

The Sims

Morrowind

 

These are in no particular order, 'cuz that would be even harder than this already was - there's lots out there that I like. If I'd played Planescape Torment I'd probably add that. I want to play it sometime, though.

[Pavlos]

1. Planescape: Torment

 

Much better >_>. Putting Fallout 2 first, honestly. tut

 

10. Theme Hospital:D

 

That game was concentrated awesome... distilled to 100% purity.

 

1. Planescape: Torment

2. Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer

3. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I(I)

5. Baldur's Gate II

 

I can only do a top five... my standards for enjoyment seem to be so low when it comes to games that beyond my top five everything seems to be pretty much the same .

[Jeff]

1. Planescape: Torment

2. Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer

3. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I(I)

5. Baldur's Gate II

 

I can only do a top five... my standards for enjoyment seem to be so low when it comes to games that beyond my top five everything seems to be pretty much the same .

Where's number 4?

[Pavlos]

KotOR/KotOR II are about equal in my books so share number three. In total there are five... I can't think of any beyond those five.

 

I'm not that bad that you expect me to make a mistake like that, am I?

[mur'phon]

1. Vtmb: welcome to the real world, mean dirty and unsencored,

2. Dungeon keeper1&2: It is good to be bad (and much cooler)

3: freedom force: punching badies over scools and trough skyscrapers is simply awesome

4. total annihilation: redhawke said it all

5: Icewind dale2: a hard rpg with a lot of customising, playing it right now

6: rome total war: let there be war!! yes war, not ten guys beating each other with pointed sticks

7: theme hospital: the best 44mb you'll ever have

8: pop, two thrones: jaw dropping acrobatics, styilsh sneak kills, and epic boss fights makes this one a must have.

9: Kotor

10: mech warriors mercenaries: the champion of a dead breed.

 

I'm not that bad that you expect me to make a mistake like that, am I?

I have a feeling this is the sort of question where an honest answer is not a good idea......

[Commander Obi-Wan]

My list is bound to change once I get my XBOX 360 back and play Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, and Call of Duty 4. And likely to change once I get Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for the Wii.

 

1. Mass Effect

2. BioShock/Knights of the Old Republic

3. Gears of War

4. Goldeneye 007

5. Republic Commando

6. Jedi Outcast - Jedi Knights II

7. Super Mario 64

8. Star Wars Battlefront I & II

9. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (yes, the one from SNES. ultimately my first game)

 

 

Yes, I haven't played many of the games most of you have played.

5)MK3

6)Soul Calibur III

7)Soul Calibur II

8)Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast

[Gargoyle King]

And yes, Final Fantasy VIII and VI is way better than VII!

Funny you should mention that as Final Fantasy VII has to be one of my favourite game of all time!

 

Onto Ze List Then:

10. The Legend Of Zelda - A Link To The Past.

A Super Famicom classic, this is not only in my list but is also one of my favourite Zelda games of all time.

 

9. Star Fox.

'Nuff said really!

 

8. Front Mission.

Where to start? i can only explain this game to be a blend of Action, RPG and RTS elements rolled into one. Great gameplay and involving story, by the great minds at Square.

 

7. Super Mario Kart

The original Mario Kart was great and still is great. For it's age it still holds up pretty well as a strong racing title and the graphics at the time we're pretty good.

 

6. Spot Goes To Hollywood

Apart from being (IMO) the best platformer game ever devised, fans of the original Cool Spot would love the sequel. The PSX version was updated with a whole load more content and would be the version i would recommend.

 

5. Darklight Conflict

A hidden little gem. A great Arcade starfighter sim with engaging levels and pretty neat weaponry. Admittedly not as good as Colony Wars but still worth the look.

 

4. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The best Zelda game ever created (i'm sure most people would agree with this). The story, gameplay and world was everything i wanted to play in a Zelda game. This is one game that will never grow old for me.

 

3. Super Mario 64

I'd be surprised if some people haven't heard of this gem. Mario's outing onto the 64 was just unbelievable, and showed that Mario could truly work in a 3D setting rather than the 2D sidescroller that gamers had previously been used to. Perhaps the best game to also grace the N64 aswell.

 

2. Final Fantasy VII

My personal favourite in the FF series. For one it was the first 3D FF game and had an immersive story, arguebly the coolest baddie ever in a videogame (Sephiroth) aswell as the best sword (the Buster Sword) and had very addicitive systems and minigames such as the Materia system and the Snowboarding minigame. For those who have never played a FF game before then this isn't perhaps the best to begin with but to those FF Veterans whom gave this a miss for whatever reasons wouldn't be dissappointed (well i hope anywayz).

 

1. Drumrolls please ..................... Chrono Trigger!!

Any RPG fan or game fan alike shouldn't have gave this one the miss. This is not only my fav game of all time but is also my fav RPG of all time. Square produced a game entirely different game to it's hot Final Fantasy franchise by placing the battles in realtime instead of your characters being whisked off randomly into battles every so often. I also felt that leveling up in Chrono Trigger was more refined and more challenging aswell. The story, at the time, also wasn't so RPG generic and so wasn't itself a cliché of past examples of the genre. Switching back and forth through time also gave the game an unchronological structure and almost gave the game a non-linear feeling; a rarity in games of the era.

 

All in all im a bit of a Retro Junkie, but there's nothing wrong with that now is there!

[Meowster]

Funny you should mention that as Final Fantasy VII has to be one of my favourite game of all time!

 

Oh, believe, me I love Final Fantasy VII. Aerith is my favorite character. It just...frustrates me somewhat. I love learning all I can from it, and enjoy all of the characters, but when I play it...it jus doesn't connect with me. But VII is a great game for begining players.

 

VIII was just my favorite for the Junction, Characters, and plot [err...Plot from 1-end of 2 ]

 

VI is wonderful. You have he wide assortment of characters, a fairly nice plot, set in medival times.
