Gravitar - excellent arcade game. A mixture of asteroids with gravity.

There was nothing i didn't love about it

Remmebr playing that Star Wars arcade game (that you sat in and it had hand controls) where all the graphics were Tron-like lattices where the AbbeyMall/Epicurean Food place is now.

I used to love that game in the arcades, shooting Darth Vader's Tie Fighter to complete the level

Used to love Golden Axe and Double Dragon in the arcades, nothing better in DD than catching some fella by the hair and kneeing him straight in the face....repeatedly

The first game I ever played was Friday the 13th on the Attari, it was my uncles and he never let me have a go but would scare me with the cover (a hockey mask with blood streaming out the eyes), when he finally gave in and let me play I realised the cover was much scarier than the game itself. :rolleyes:

the game

The King of Moo

+1 for Super Mario Bros. 3

First proper game I owned, so I remember first playing it and being completely useless at it, could barely jump over holes and make it past the first piranha plant.
To go from there to finally beating it, at 2am on a Saturday morning how many years later, felt brilliant.

The great thing is I'm not just being nostalgic. I played it again fairly recently and it's still brilliantly playable, tough and full of secrets.

I keep telling myself I'm going to get round to challenge myself by going straight to the final world from world 1 using the warp whistles and beat it that way!

Legend of Zelda on the n64. Some of the best games ever.

I'm trying to remember a pirate pc game. It mainly involved controlling ships. It had the distinct line ''A message from the governor has just arrived'', which was said a couple of times throughout the game. You started off with one port and one ship and you could capture pirate ships or merchant ships. It'd be great if I could get the name of it.

Auvers

is this the pirate game?

Super Street Fighter II Turbo

I wasted hours on this dinky game called Mousetrap. If I found it now and an emulator to play it I'd probably get hooked again.

Spent hours in the arcade playin Shinobi. Then a couple of years later found it for my computer. It wasn't the same playing it without the stink of chips in the air.

I can't believe Pokemon Red and Blue haven't been mentioned.

Was I the only one who was completely addicted to them?

Chase H.Q - Practically 20 years later I still say "Let's go Mr. Driver" everytime I play. Loved that game.

Sunset Riders - Pure 90's cowboy shoot 'em up

Bomberman - Any one of these Bomberman games I loved playing. Great craìc with a few buddies.

Mortal Kombat II - Without a doubt the best in the series. Just got the tone and violence right.

Virtua Racing / Daytona Racing - Short but sweet addictive games I loved playing in the arcades.

Time Crisis - Impossible for me to pass by one of these and not play them. Completed TC 2 on a boat over to England on 1 credit..............noboby was around to see it

On Christmas night, watching my 70 year old grandmother trying to shoot ducks on Duck Hunt for the first Nintendo, that Santa had brought that Christmas.

But we need to put this into context by platform.

NES =...........Mario Bros / Duck Hunt
Gameboy =....Tetris
SNES =.........Super Mario / Donkey Kong / Killer Instinct
Sega =.........Sonic / Streets of Rage / Street Figher / Mortal Kombat
N64 =...........Golden Eye / Lamborghini
PS1 =...........Metal Gear Solid / Resident Evil 2 / GTA
PS2 =...........Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater / GTA Vice City/ San Andreas
XB360 =........Halo / GTA IV / Bioshock
PC =.............Crysis

Everyone here is more than five years old.

Too many to mention really now that I think about it, especially on the Amiga. Outrun, James Pond, Gods, Golden Axe, Superfrog, Kick Off 2. Team 17 were untouchable for a while. The EA/Rockstar Games of their time for the Amiga.

In terms of consoles, probably most remember Street Fighter on the SNES and
COW LAUNCHED on the Megadrive. Goldeneye for the N64 and Wipeout 2097 on the PS1. GTA:VC/GTA:SA on PS2.

PC games would have to be Sim City and Doom.

McChubbin

I loved Super Ghouls and Ghosts on the SNES. I never got a chance to complete it though-my brother erased all my saves. :mad:
I love the music to it.
