    So, for you, which is it? What game do you hold the fondest memory of?

    With me...I shall choose Shogun Total War, simply for the sheer obscene amount of hours I pumped into it...


    Close runners up are Baldurs Gate 2, Freespace 2 and Half Life1.

  • Registered Users Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    What Tusky said.

    But Tetris on the original GB still has a place in my heart.

    Course its been done before, boards.ie is ancient. Everything has been done before. Reminds me of that episode of Southpark. The simpsons did it!
    Peoples opinions change and more members join, ffs, leave well alone.
    You think you're the first person to say, "Search the forum, been done many times before."?

    Wrt the thread, favourite game of all time is probably Final Fantasy, if I can include them all under the one bracket. If not, then Deus Ex or Quake 1.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    The original Doom. For years no other game mattered.

    Also my first multiplayer experience. Breathtaking stuff at the time.

    Im 18 now, i remmember playing Doom 1 when i was younger. I didnt want to go to my confirmation coz i was so addicted by the game. Also brings back memories of Redneck Rampage and Interstate '76. All great games! All time greatest game would also include final fantasy series, particularly FFIX!

    ICO, Pikmin, Beyond Good and Evil, Metroid prime, I can't pick just one so I want all 4. But to be honest if any game gets first place it's BG&E, yes it's short, and gameplay wise it's nothing more than a zelda clone, but it's got an excellently put together story with great characters, it's brilliantly paced and that piano music that plays as you go around in the hover craft is just lovely. Such a shame nobody bought it and it won't be getting the sequels that were originally planned.

    I spose Counter Strike should also get a mention, seeing that has become so infamous!

    Hyper sasquartch monkey hunter. But only people who have been to the ursula bigonus nebula star systems would have played it. I regularly visit during the weekends.

    I love that statement - what a conflict of interest - that was god and the devil themselves fighting over you..which did you choose in the end? you still semi-religionless?

    he chose god obviously...Doom is christian expression of the human will to use a shotgun (and not keanu reeves) when the devil tries to take over the world...Confirmation is an excuse to get money, Doom is a true expression of religous purity.
