JoshTurboTrollX · 08/01/2007, 02:46 PM

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.

Keranu · 08/01/2007, 02:52 PM

Insector X.

PCEngineHell · 08/01/2007, 03:15 PM

Well,lets put it like this,I try to imagine a game I can't live without,one I knew Id miss more then anything if I could never have it again,and that game would be.......
Time Killers,the arcade version.

Kitsunexus · 08/01/2007, 03:32 PM

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)

Joe Redifer · 08/01/2007, 04:02 PM

Super Monkey Ball (Gamecube version)

Turbo D · 08/01/2007, 05:39 PM

Sonic th3 Hedgehog

lbblue · 08/01/2007, 05:45 PM

SuperMarioBrothers3
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.

gundarN · 08/01/2007, 06:01 PM

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?

JoshTurboTrollX · 08/01/2007, 06:26 PM

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...

RuninRuder · 08/01/2007, 06:38 PM

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.

akamichi · 08/01/2007, 06:59 PM

Spikeout. Prefer Final Edition (arcade), but I guess the Xbox ver would work too since it's practically the same game.

GUTS · 08/01/2007, 07:34 PM

Phantasy Star.

LEO EL INCOMPARABLE · 08/01/2007, 09:05 PM

Super Mario Bros. 3 - It's a fun game.

CrackTiger · 08/01/2007, 09:26 PM

Far East Of Eden/Tengai Makyou: Fuun Kabuki Den

nat · 08/01/2007, 09:31 PM

Space Fucking Harrier.

Joe Redifer · 08/01/2007, 11:45 PM

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).

Tatsujin · 08/02/2007, 12:31 AM

Daimakaimura

I haven't played the saturn version, but I do own the 32x version which is better than the arcade

I believe that it is a direct port AND it runs flawlessly on the 32x

Balloon Fight *

* Best balloon-based video game ever.

_Paul · 08/02/2007, 08:12 AM

Ys I&II

But Space Harrier comes damn close.

Nazi NecroPhile · 08/02/2007, 09:38 AM

Quake II - BFG up ya ass edition... or Ys I & II... or Bomberman (indecisive douche, ain't I?).

Unfortunately 3dfx is long gone, so I'll stick with opengl (but I ain't picky).

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.

Grand Theft Auto 3.... so revolutionary

it is what began my love for the gta franchise

Joe Redifer · 08/03/2007, 12:58 AM

Super Monkey Ball (Gamecube version).

Kitsunexus · 08/03/2007, 01:20 AM

The Super Monkey Ball 2 title song is right up there with Jazz Jackrabbit 2 as one of my favorite title songs.

WoodyXP · 08/04/2007, 09:16 AM

I gotta go with Space Harrier too. I've been playing this game for over 20 years and I still love it. It's a magical game.

Yoshi's Island (SNES).

turbofan1 · 08/05/2007, 09:14 PM

Guess I`ll chime in here.Mine will change every few years.First it was Super Mario Bros 3 nes,Than it was Chrono Trigger,A few years latter it was Resident Evil 2,Than few years latter it was Halo for the xbox.Now its Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines for the pc.So that should tell you how old I am.If Bio Shock is any good when it comes out this month,maybe my mind will change again.

I'd have to play it. Digital math competition games don't sound like fun either, but The Electric Company Math Fun for Intellivision kicks ass.

Mario Paint is also cool, but what I liked most about it was the animation feature.

Hm, tough decision between Final Fantasy VI and Daimakaimura, but since there is no game other than Daimakaimura which I played through 100+ times , I think I go for that!

Great demon world village, saikou!!
