Of all consoles ever made...

And I've thought long and hard about this one....

I chose Panzer Dragoon Saga as it truly is still a master piece each and every time I play it.


So I chose Panzer Dragoon Saga on Sega Saturn.

Time Killers,the arcade version.

Awww man, this is hard!

It comes down to Star Fox Adventures or the original Unreal Tournament, but since SFA has near dick replay value, I'm going with

UNREAL TOURNAMENT (PC)

nothing else even comes close ( sorry to have to reveal this timeless truth on pcenginefx boards)

Honestly, every other game I have ever played, on any system : I play it, I put it away. i might come back, i might not, doesn't matter. But SMB3, I always come back to. It just does not get old.

That's a very hard decision to make. Can I just say something from the Street Fighter series? I'm just not sure which version. I can see me playing SF on and off for the rest of my days.

If I'm not allowed that, what about Tempest 2000/3000?
Title: Re: The Best video game Ever Thread!
Post by: _joshuaTurbo on August 01, 2007, 11:26:23 AM
Gundarn - Street Fighter (ANy version) 'nuff said?


funny.....not a single Turbo game mentioned yet.....

For those that are interested:

When I chose Panzer Saga it was truly a toss up between Y's Book I & II, Super Castlevania IV, and Panzer...

Title: Re: The Best video game Ever Thread!
Post by: runinruder on August 01, 2007, 11:38:54 AM
Tough call. 

I guess the game that made the longest-lasting impression on my nerdy life was Ys Book I & II.  The ending never fails to bring a tear to my eye, since I'm a nostalgic wuss.

But Final Fantasy X made an even stronger impression in a lot of ways when I played it as an adult nerd and probably had an even more significant impact, just sans the nostalgic "when I was thirteen" stuff.

But FFX could've been improved in some ways, and surely I should try to be a bit "objective" in my decision here.  And speaking objectively, Ocarina of Time is the closest a game has come to "perfection" in my view.

But as much as I love Ocarina, I've only bothered to play through it like twice, and surely replay value and time spent with a game should be major factors in this decision.  I played through Star Ocean 2 no fewer than four million times, devoting a good billion hours to it.

But I haven't picked up SO2 in ages, and I'm a man of the moment.  And the game that I've had the most fun with recently is Violent Soldier.  Or is it Sinistron?  See, there's the problem.  The two versions are different enough that I can't consider them one and the same, and the rules of this topic clearly state that I must select a single title, "PERIOD."

So I choose Tenshi no Uta

I was going to say that just due to nostalgia (I can still play that game all day).  But Super Monkey Ball (Gamecube version) kicks my ass just a little more.  Dudeness-o-rama, you MUST get the Saturn version of Space Harrier with a freakin' Mission Stick.  It's better than being at the arcade (since you will be surrounded by much fewer losers).

I haven't played the saturn version, but I do own the 32x version which is better than the arcade  :D  I believe that it is a direct port AND it runs flawlessly on the 32x

Build a extra comp just for stuff like this with a 3DFX card in it. My current Glide/3DFX based comp is a totally redone Dell Dimension,with a 40 gig hard drive for the main and a secondary 8 gig hd for back up files. Has 256 megs Pc 133 ram by Micron,a LG Cd-r burner,a 3DFX Voodoo 4500 AGP card and a Sound Blaster Live. All powered by the mighty (back then) Pentium 3 1GHZ 133fsb cpu on a Intel i815 board and a Windows ME install. Tonight I was running Heavy Metal Fakk2,Alien vs Predator 2,and V-Rally 2 on it. Runs like  a charm. Nothing extra is on the thing other then Firefox and Winrar.

What else could your post have meant other than Alex Kidd makes you horny?  If you meant difficulty, you should have said Lords of Thunder.  Anyone over the age of 3 can beat that without dying the first time they play.  Or maybe Sapphire, which is also ridiculously easy.

Alex Kidd is INCREDIBLY cheap when it comes to difficulty. Or maybe I just suck. I should have just said Ikaruga anyway. I mean I could have said Lords of Thunder, but why name inferior shooters here?

I like "Ghouls" better than "Goblins" simply because goblins sounds like much more of a kid's word.  Ghouls sounds grown up and kick ass.  Plus I think I like the word "Ghouls" better since it represents a FAR better game than "Goblins", Jesus Christ!

Thats probably the main reason why I like 'Goblins' better, -its a FAR better game than 'Ghouls' to me. :P

'Ghouls' invokes images of creeps like Herbert from Family Guy for me.

I still like Makaimura better than any of the various titles.

You are a Japan-o-phile!  English is the best language.  None of this Makaimuradai no Yabu stuff!  Ghosts 'n Goblins is ass.  I don't watch Family Guy, mostly because its not funny.  I don't watch The Simpsons, either.  Hell I really don't watch any TV at all.  I'd rather sit here and tell you why Ghouls 'n Ghosts is the best name and the best game (in the series).

2.  A Link to the Past (SNES) - after about 10 times through I started playing for the music
1.  Bonk's Revenge (TG16) - still my favorite Bonk, fav TG, fav overall.  Still play it to this day

I'm pretty far from being a Japan-o-phile, but I've always like the Makaimura(mock-eye-moo-ra) name and its logo is very cool.

Its no more ricdiculous than Herzog Zwei, El Viento or Ninja Gaiden and certainly better than Ballz, Klax, Sagaia, Quackshot, Shaq Fu, Jammit!, Ristar, Mr Nutz or Taz-Mania.

Thats probably the main reason why I like 'Goblins' better, -its a FAR better game than 'Ghouls' to me. :P
I've always kind of prefered Goblins too.

Ys is weird name to english as a first languagers, but I think its still better than "Sword Battlin'".

I'd buy it.

Is the name "Ys" Japanese?  I doubt it.

People still had no idea how to pronounce it in North America. Even though the SMS version had a phonetical diagram on the title screen. :P

That must be an ultra rare version of Sword Battlin' for NES, as the regular release only contained Book I.  :D
