favorite video games of all time

Post by jffl_commish »

I've been around since the Atari 2600 days, so a couple of mine are classics indeed, starting with the best sports game ever made.

And of course I have to include something from the Atari catalog.

B-17 Bomber for Intellicast for Intellivision. I thought it was so cool that a video game could talk.

I'd rent that from Video Vault and hope that my mom wouldn't remember to return it in 3 days.

Top 3: Witcher 3; Half-Life 2; Chrono trigger.

The top ten are all over the shop, and I am not sure some would really stand the test of time now, like Jedi Knight 2, Shenmue 2.

Leisure Suit Larry?
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

Goldeneye was dope but that game absolutely does not hold up.

I really do like turn based jrpg's but I don't know how much time I have for them now that I'm an old man.

Everquest. It was the first immersive MMORPG I’d ever played. 16 hour raids were common with 120 people..massive racial wars for zone and mob control, lore for days...oh, and you could literally sell some of the rare drops for $100s if not $1000s of real cash on EBay. I played with the guild who ended up starting a billion dollar business in IGE with Brock Pierce, born in MN too, also played a Wizard..

You want to read a fucked up Wiki..

I still have a soft spot in my heart for Battlezone. It was an arcade video game from the early '80s. By today's standards, the 3-D graphics wouldbe laughed out of the building, but for the time, It was freakin' awesome!
