Just wondering what everyone's opinion of ground breaking, favourite computer games are that they've grown up with - the ones that stand out through time as the most enjoyable.
My (not so much) top 10 would be this lot probably, just wondered what everyone else's would be and what the common ones to stand out would be...
- dizzy,
- dan dare,
- midnight resistance,
- doom,
- sonic the hedgehog,
- mario
- street fighter 2,
- mortal kombat,
- half life,
- fifa 2003,
- quake series
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory ;)
Any game with PB really so we can actually have fun screwing it :D

Ohhh yeah... that too! :afrog: C&C is probably my favourite PC game of all time! (That is: The favourite game franchise ever... :D )
Is spore out yet? I really really really want to play Crysis but will need a new PC for that so won't be happening any time soon.
I posted this thread after a comment I saw on here from someone who'd never heard of duke nukem & it got me thinking - me and my brother have been trying to think of what would be the most popular ones. Thought half life would popup and sonic seems pretty high up there then.
I said to him "Wolfenstein?? Ok that was a great game, but it's really just a rip off of Doom" at the time, and got the answer "yeah, but it was the first FPS to give us a decent flamethrower to fire". Guess I included doom myself as it was there first and remember spending longer on that one...
Prince of persia I didn't play the 1st time round, but the 3D one, sands of time was it, that's a tough call now you mention that. Must be the closest next one that just missed the list for me. With the MK series, I'm including all the games there as I loved them all - that's my favourite game of all time MK2!
I never liked Command and Conquer. Never understood why.
BACK THEN:
Civilisation 1+2
DOOM 1+2
The Lost Vikings
Day of the Tentacle
Street Fighet II
Comander Keen
Age Of Empires Series
Command and Conquer.
Duke Nukem Platform + 3D
QUAKE
TODAY:
Halo 3
Gears of War
Forza Motorsport 2
F.E.A.R
GTA IV
Command and Conquer 3
BioShock
Call Of Duty 4
And I am affraid to say Still played frequently
DOOM
I never really got Tekken myself - street fighter and mortal kombat had far more combos and special moves and were just fun to play - everyone was in awe of the 3D fighting applied, but the gameplay just wasn't there in that.
Interesting to see everyone loves the quake series and not any/so many unreal fans. I always thought quake was greater too.
Quake 3 engine is the easiest to understand and reverse :thumb:
In no particular order...
Blood
Big Red Racer
Lemmings (Tribes)
F-19 Stealth Fighter
Ultimate Race Pro
GTA San Andreas
Quake 2
Doom
What was the arcade game where your guy was from greece or something. It was a side scroller where you could turn into a wolf. The beginning had a guy say:
RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!
Ah yeas ALTERED BEAST!
Altered Beast
I hated that game with a passion.
Really... I loved it, that and golden axe.
N+ is good too.
No one suggesting "zero wing" or "zork" yet?? :p
Age of Empires I & II also.
I'm bad at remembering games I used to play...
i forgot to mention that I played CS and Warcraft for a total of less than a few hours...
and also StarCraft which was to me... a bit pointless after awhile.
In no particular order:
Dave
Prince of Persia (very first)
PacMan
Star Commander
Commander Keene
Bricks
Bio Menace
a flight simulation game (don't remember the name)
Age of Empires (1, 2, 3)

Does anybody ever play BomberMan?
ANd and the arcade game
metal slug
just awesome!!!
Metal slug was good, cant believe i forgot the AoE series, god going wossy.
I still play bomberman now, it's my partner's favourite game! Was on my brothers list but didn't quite make it to mine...
it's fun playing especially when you have full blast !!!
i used to die by my own flames. :|
Yep you got that right! I'd be fantastic at the game if the option for killing youself wasn't put in. They updated it on the gamecube and on the X-box live download site into 3D but it's nothing near as good as the original!
hmm it's on XBOX! hmmmmmmmmm
Yeah, is it marketplace or something they call it? I haven't got a live subscription, but there's an area in one of the tabs that lets you scan for and download games from. I've got a few demos from that and you need to pay for the full version, but I managed to get these working on the 360 using it's controllers:
Bomberman (though 3D version unforunately)
Street Fighter II
Speedball 2 (which should have really been included in my list there)
Oh yeah, Paratrooper.
And Armored Fist 2.
