[whiteyford]

Yes I listed Thunder as a favorite.

I enjoyed the WCW games, once you accepted that they were flawed they were awesome.

[DaveBrawl]

I loved putting all my guys in a stable and it changed their gear. Plus the rants...

[whiteyford]

The rants were great, should totally bring that back.

[drave]

Yes I listed Thunder as a favorite.

I remember this as being one of the first games that had actual videos for entrances and thought it was badass. Then I played the game :shifty:

[DaveBrawl]

The rants were great, should totally bring that back.
Yeah they should.

Add in a Kinect feature where you can record your own and it would sell itself.

[DaveBrawl]

I remember this as being one of the first games that had actual videos for entrances and thought it was badass. Then I played the game :shifty:
I'm still upset Ric Flair didn't have any moves, but lots of others used the Firgure 4.

[LoDownM]

Commodore 64: Airborne Ranger, The Transformers

NES: Super Mario Brothers 3, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project

Genesis: Sonic 2,3 and Sonic & Knuckles

Gameboy: Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

Playstation: Suikoden 1&2, Valkyrie Profile, FF7, FF9, Metal Gear Solid, Legend of Dragoon.. I really have to many favs on this... Could be here all day listing them out.

Nintendo 64: Perfect Dark, the Duke Nukem port was a blast with 4 people so that gets a mention. Was more of a Playstation guy this generation so..

Dreamcast: Skies of Arcadia, Powerstone 2

Playstation 2: Suikoden 3, Metal Gear Solid 2, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 7, Any Dynasty Warriors game.

Xbox: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1&2, Burnout 2 just because of the online play.

I haven't really played too many games that are exclusive to PS3 or 360 so just gonna combine them into one.

PS3/Xbox 360: Mass Effect series, Assassin's Creed series, Red Dead Redemption, Saints Row 2&3, both Fallout games, War/Fall for/of Cybertron.

[LoDownM]

I did not own an SNES until well into the PS2/Xbox/Dreamcast gen, so I left it out :o

[whiteyford]

6 golden coins was fucking aces, played it not long ago.

[DaveBrawl]

I had a gameboy that I traded my brother for, but don't really remember any of the games. The Game Gear sticks with me though.

Probably for the fact it would suck down batteries like crazy. I just left it plugged into the wall when I played it. Wish I had kept it now.:'(

[ClockShot]

Too many to list and so many to remember, I'll just pick the ones I know.

NES: River City Ransom

Sega Genesis: Mortal Kombat 2, any of the "Strike" games.

Game Gear: Ecco the Dolphin

SNES: Legend of Zelda: A link to the past. (Never owned the SNES, but all my friends who had an SNES, had this.)

Gameboy: Pokemon Blue or Mario: 6 Golden Coins

Nintendo 64: Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64

Playstation: Spyro the Dragon, Legend of Dragoon

Playstation 2: Yakuza 1 & 2, SOCOM 2, GTA: San Andreas

Xbox: KOTOR, Sid Meier's Pirates

Nintendo Wii: Zelda: Twilight Princess

I expect to add Ni No Kuni to the PS3 list. Also listing in this way misses out a shitload of great PC games. Notably UFO Enemy Unknown, Monkey Island 2 and GRIM FANDANGO.

[whiteyford]

Sam & Max hit the road should go without saying.

[Ultra Mantis]

I've only played the new Sam & Max games, missed out on Day of the Tentacle too. I had a hard childhood.

[Ultra Mantis]

I initially thought this was going to be a Pokemon thread and I'm slightly disappointed.

[drave]

NO POKEMON!

Ni no Kuni is enough to wanna make me get a PS3 though.

Ever play Shenmue II?

[James Steele]

Nope, I never had an XBox of my own. My spoiled ass friend got one for Christmas though so I played the shit out of its launch titles...and WWF RAW/RAW 2.

[James Steele]

I need to find some good platformers for 360. I hate shooters, so about all I play is sports games and Fable/Skyrim/etc. It seems like all platformers now are shitty movie based games with horrible cameras. Indie games I've bought seemed woefully short.

[drave]

Haha, RAW & RAW 2 were awful. I remember enjoying them for about a week or so and selling them back for like $3 a piece.

[Heisenberg]

Shit, I forgot to mention Mutant League Football for Sega Genesis. That game ruled kingdoms of ass.

[Cool King]

The reason I have Nintendo Land down as my favourite for the Wii U is because it's the only game I've played for the console.

[whiteyford]

I have never played a MSG game ever.

[Ultra Mantis]

Could probably get an emulator for them both.

Oh yeah, they would totally work in ScummVM like Grim Fandango and the Monkey Islands do. I've never really had a proper look for either game though, theyre not on Steam so that's as far as I got.

I have never played a MSG game ever.

If you don't have a Playstation then grab the HD Collection or download Snake Eater. Even if you don't like the game it's worth the money for the opening theme.

[El Fangel]

UM, You just got a lot of respect. That theme is beautiful.

Anyone remember Barkley's Shut Up and Jam on Genesis?

I remember that being the first game I heard an audible cuss word in. If the ball was just left lying, Barkley had a voiceover in which he said "Go get the damn ball!" I remember thinking it was "crazy" at the time, to hear actual voices in-game, let alone something like that.

And now we have GTA :D Games are great.

[Heisenberg]

I never played the Barkley game, always saw ads about it on GAMEPRO magazine. Just never got around to trying it out.

[drave]

You weren't missing much. NBA Jam is where it was at for bball :D

[The Jayman]

Loved NBA Jam

[whiteyford]

Think you meant Space jam.

[itsmeJD]

Think you meant Space jam.

Awesome soundtrack.

[Heisenberg]

Dammit, another honorable mention for the N64: Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey

[Tom Guycott]

NES: Star Tropics


That game deserves a seque... dammit, there was.

That game deserves better. It needs a remake/reboot of some sort. Would have been a decent fit for the Wii, as motion controling attacks like the Island Yo-Yo and baseball bat would be fairly intuitive.

Just as long as they don't give it wonky Kid Icarus Uprising type controls, just about anything would be fine. Having everything, including a letter to dip in water would be awesome!

[drave]

Star Tropics was definitely the goods!

Since the movie industry has been doing rehashes for the past few years, I wouldn't mind seeing some rehashes of past titles.

Even the arcade remix of Galaga was pretty cool.
