LEGENDARY Video games.

[Mr. Ron]

Ok, post all the legendary video games that deserve that title and why. Or games that break the mold and bring a whole new thing to the table of video gaming.

ONE of my picks is XENOGEARS. One of the best RPG's ever made.

[¡monkeysonmars!]

Goldeneye

You're damn straight I said Goldeneye!

[Mardy]

Super Mario, the original one for Nintendo. Kickass theme song.
And that game where you shoot ducks with a gun on the screen. yeh.

[Understanding In a Crash]

Pong...

Doom I & II

Resident Evil on the original playstation HAD some pretty nefty graphics for when it came out and I've never played a game like that at the time. It also creeped me out bad because I was only like 10 while playing it :eek:

[GuitarMang]

Best rpg in my opinion would be either Morrowind or IcewindDale 1 and 2

[Brew]

The Secret of Monkey Island

[ZaaR]

Half-Life and counter strike. Counter Strike changed online first persons and Half-Life is just amazing. I also can't wait for Half-Life 2.

[Mr. Ron]

Best rpg in my opinion would be either Morrowind or IcewindDale 1 and 2

Ever play Neverwinter nights???

[TonyGuitar]

Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.
Shenmue, Legend of Zelda games, MGS.

[Mr. Ron]

Mortal Kombat............ :upset:

[drumfreak14]

The original Donkey Kong

[drumfreak14]

Super Mario, the original one for Nintendo. Kickass theme song.
And that game where you shoot ducks with a gun on the screen. yeh.

[DBoons Ghost]

Civilization was groundbreaking and legendary. Most of Sid Meiers games were.

Remember Pirates?

[The Big Show's Banana]

Final Fantasy VII

[Mr. Ron]

DOOM1 was pretty groundbreaking, DOOM3 is amazing!!!

[GuitarMang]

Goldeneye

You're damn straight I said Goldeneye!

Agreed. best Multiplayer ever considering the date it came out. An n64 game being just as fun as halo? ;\ i remember hearing my friends comparing both of them and most them still thinking Goldeneye is the best. And hey guess waht? i agree, Goldenye had the best controls(solitare mode) and was fun as heck regardless its graphics.

[Interstate]

Golden Axe
Streets Of Rage
Mortal Kombat
Theme Park (the original)
Mario
Sonic The Hedgehog
Doom
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Legend Of Zelda

[Praiz]

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was definetely a ground-breaker.

[ToRidTheDisease]

GTA Series.

[Mr. Ron]

GTA Series.
not really........the GTA series is a rip off of an old game called "CARMAGGEDON".

[thunderzstruck]

zelda orcana of time

goldeneye i was obssesed with back in the day but a while ago i tried to play it again and it just wasn't fun. I don't know why. The graphics were terrible and i couldn't tell what i was shooting at. It's not only the graphics it just wasn't funny anymore.

[ToRidTheDisease]

not really........the GTA series is a rip off of an old game called "CARMAGGEDON".
No its not, those games are nothing like each other.

[DBoons Ghost]

Carmageddon was AWESOME though.

The original GTA for the PC was lame top down. Fun though.

[sketchyjoe]

Tetris

[Mr. Ron]

No its not, those games are nothing like each other.
But the basis for both games is so similar it's ridiculous.

[SptsNaz]

But the basis for both games is so similar it's ridiculous.

So what if it's a rip-off, you can't deny the godlyness of the GTA series

[ToRidTheDisease]

But the basis for both games is so similar it's ridiculous.
That is true, but GTA gives you so much more freedom and overall its much better IMO.

[DBoons Ghost]

But the basis for both games is so similar it's ridiculous.

Nah Carmageddon was simple kill as many civilians as you can/race against the clock type deal. One of the most fun stress relieving games I ever played, till the GTAs for the PS2 came out.

The GTA games are deep, plus you can actually get out of the car and run around the world. Carmageddon you were stuck in the car, and demolition derby was more the premise.

Both fun games regardless!

[Der Übermensch]

Myth 2.... BEST... GAME... EVER!!!

[GuitarMang]

Myth 2.... BEST... GAME... EVER!!!

LoL!! Weeeee

[Shadowwynd]

Gunna reel a list off of amazing games

Megadrive: Shining Force games, Rings of Power.

Snes: Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, FF6, Donkey Kong Country, Secret of evermore, Legend of Zelda.

OH gotta and Rainbow islands from old skool gaming like the C64 and the amiga!

[crossface]

Legend of Zelda
Final Fantasy 7
Xenogears
Metal Gear Solid 1

[Kingofdudes]

too many to list

/me needs to play Xenogears again

[Mr. Ron]

Legend of Zelda
Final Fantasy 7
Xenogears
Metal Gear Solid 1

All very good choices. Only MGS1? You didn't like MGS2? MGS:Snake eater looks INSANE.

[Mr. Ron]

too many to list

/me needs to play Xenogears again

I must have played through it at least 6 times. Such a story line! Xenosaga was crap though, lets hope the next 8 installments of the series is better.

[e p]

MORTAL KOMBAT




:cool:

[ToRidTheDisease]

All very good choices. Only MGS1? You didn't like MGS2? MGS:Snake eater looks INSANE.
The demo of MGS:SE was pretty crappy.

[Big-Bird]

Contra 3

all you do is run around shooting aliens

[infeef]

DOOM, was huge, then goldeneye, and now obvioulsy Halo. first person shooters right there.

Mario64 was amazing when it came out.

Starfcraft really is a big one.

[Badmoon]

Every Twisted Metal except Black and everything after.

[pikester]

Halo.
Civ 2.

Uh... yeah.

Mario for NES.

[GuitarMang]

Mario Kart 64, Goldenye, SC, D2, CS, MGS, GT, GTA

[GibsonRokr]

Final Fantasy VII

I second that

[GuitarMang]

I second that

i think almost all of us agree ff7 is one of the best :)

[superfascist]

Final Fantasy VII is the best game ever followed by The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and Metal Gear Solid.

Basically, the only games I actually have.

[Syncope]

Legend of the seven stars.

[Bel Acres]

Street Fighter II.

While it didn't create the fighting genre (Karate Champ and Yie Ar Kung Fu did that), it defined it and made it popular. Mortal Kombat would have never existed if Street Fighter II hadn't saved arcades in the early 90's.

Sonic the Hedgehog.

It was the only game in it's genre that could challenge Mario, what else is there to say?

[Praiz]

Dance Dance Revolution anyone?

[LightningCow]

How about River City Ransom people? I loved that beat em up, it was the first one I'd ever seen and one of my favorite ones to date.

Final Fantesy Tactics was a great game too, so much freaking customization to it, you could make your character amazing if you put some effort into it. I think the level system in that game went up to some rediculous number, like 200 or something.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Console based - FF7, or better yet any FF game.

P.C. based - Half-life and Counter-Strike.

[superfascist]

Super Mario RPG

that game kicked ***

[Mr. Ron]

The demo of MGS:SE was pretty crappy.

Yeah it was, I played it and was like WTF? Then is saw videos of actual game play on the web and totally changed my view on it.

[infeef]

duckhunt baby, that gun was rad.

[Ich Habe Sheisse]

Super Metroid

[mooteel]

Simcity

Half-Life
Counter-Strike
Doom
Gran Turismo
Super Mario Bros.
Goldeneye
Diablo
Starcraft
Final Fantasy

[ventura]

Battlespire. Best RPG and one of the most open-ended games ever.

[Shadowwynd]

*puts on a mock serious voice*

I respect your view that Mortal kombat was a legendry game but im afriad i do not share your views. I found it weak and lacking against other fighting games such as Street fighter or even Eternal Champions (**** cool game, or atleast i thought so 10years ago lol!).

*mock voice off*

I didn't like any of the mortal kombat games from 2 onwards... 1 was ok though because it was differant.

PS the movies sucked lol




OH just noticed

Mutant leauge games (mainly Football) were amazing!

"ok i need to think this play through to gain the advantage"

---thinks hard---

"KILL THE REF!"

[radianteclipse]

Shining Force......its ooooooh so good

[Brew]

Command & Conquer : Red Alert was pretty legendary.

[red barchetta]

these are arcade games, but pac-man and space invaders. now they are LEGENDARY

also, tetris, mario kart, street fighters, bomberman, fire emblem (it was the first EVER strategy game ever made), and final fantasy obviously

[eseer erre]

Fire Emblem++

*cough*MEGA MAN!*cough*

[Mr. Ron]

Fire Emblem++

*cough*MEGA MAN!*cough*
Indeed, Mega man is quite good.

[LightningCow]

Gun Star Heroes for Genesis, does anyone else remember that game? It was really a one hit wonder, somewhat similar to Metal Slug in gameplay, but the graphics were so cool and the game was so fast paced.

[MustkillLois6712]

1.Shenmue(Dreamcast)
2.Worms armegeddon (pc)
3.Soul Calibur (dreamcast)

[Lionheart1827]

Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time

best game evar



FF7 is so overrated. it can't hold a candle to FF3/6. :thumb:

and to topic poster-you are the man. Xenogears blows away every story in a videogame ever. It was so engrossing and thoughtful. The music pwned and so did Fae and Citan. I was kinda disapointed with Xenosaga.

[dans107]

The Secret of Monkey Island.

Not The Return, or the Curse, the Secret. The original.

It has the crappiest graphics out of the whole game, but miles ahead as the best.

I'm sure Lord B will agree.

[Vladislav]

what about Sonic 1-2-3........................???????

[-Listy-]

Final Fantasy VII
Agreed, Goldeneye and Resident Evil too, first one scared the **** out of me
Monkey Island :lol: i remember that..*sigh*
Anyone like Golden Ax?

[dans107]

Golden Eye still owns.

As does Mario 64.

[Brew]

The Secret of Monkey Island.

Not The Return, or the Curse, the Secret. The original.

It has the crappiest graphics out of the whole game, but miles ahead as the best.

I'm sure Lord B will agree.

Look at the first page. :cool:

[Mr. Ron]

Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time

best game evar

Indeed, Xenogears is my favorite PRG EVER, and I have played a lot of them. The story line is yet to be matched.

[nuthinbutnails]

Beavis And Butthead - Sega

Mortal Kombat I, II, III

Super Mario Brothers 3

That sounds really familiar. Can anyone refresh my memory on what this game was?

[sandbox magician]

I saw a video of some guy beat super mario 3 in 11 minutes. i was in shock. it was the japan version :amaze: :amaze:

here ya go:
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/smb3beat-r.html

I hate to break it to you, but that's fake. The guy played the game several times and recorded each on his computer, then edited it where he made mistakes so it would seem seemless. How did you think he ran across all those rocks in the last map without getting pulled under?

[RadioBaby]

That sounds really familiar. Can anyone refresh my memory on what this game was?

It was a sort of side scrolling shooter. You could swap between being on the top of the screen or the bottom if I remember rightly. It was pretty fast paced and just great fun really.

[The Jolly Pakistani]

Age of Empires
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2


The man knows his stuff.

Yuri's Revenge was the ultimate pwnage too. All my pirated Cd's that I brought with me to Canda got scratched. I'm still looking online for working versions.:(

Pushed to desperation...I may soon buy it...

[ElementTheory]

Ninja Gaiden for Xbox is already legendary. The only thing that would make that game better would be infinite incendiary shurikens.
