That apostrophe must be possessive because he just got owned.

NES: Mario Bros. 3
SNES: Too many I loved to pick a favorite
Game Gear: X-Men 2: Gamemaster's Legacy

PS2: GTA's

XBox: Warriors

XBox360/PS3 (unless console exclusive): Red Dead I guess.

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

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

The rants were great, should totally bring that back.

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:

Yeah they should.

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

I'm still upset Ric Flair didn't have any moves, but lots of others used the Firgure 4.

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.

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

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

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.:'(

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.)

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.

Sam & Max hit the road should go without saying.

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

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

NO POKEMON!

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

Good thread, Have to think on some though.

XBox: Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee

XBox360/PS3 (unless console exclusive): Fable II

Ever play Shenmue II?

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.

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.

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.

I have never played a MSG game ever.

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.

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.

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

I love all the love for River City Ransom in this thread!!! :y:

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.

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

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

Loved NBA Jam

Think you meant Space jam.

Awesome soundtrack.

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

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!

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.
