DarkTone | 984 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Title says it all. Mine is Metal Gear Solid. The music, characters, boss battles, easter eggs and loads more make it incredible. It's also the only game I needed a walk through for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 3,837 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Probably Suikoden II. Lost track of how many times I’ve played through it over the years. Or it could be Dragon Warrior. I’ve played it countless times but I still remember playing through it the first time with my Dad.

Vectrex28 | 366 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky. The only game that makes me shed a tear every single time. Super Metroid is a close second 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMark0673 | 197 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Mega Man 2, for so many reasons. I completed a loose licensed set years ago, and one of the reasons I wanted to do it was to see if the system offered a better game than MM2. A few hundred games and numerous hidden gems later... I found the answer to be “no”! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonebone | 1,307 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Not a game I would spend a ton of time playing today unfortunately, but nothing will top it as my all time fave. Made shooters mainstream on consoles, tons of replayability for unlockable cheats and incredible amounts of multiplayer fun. Also came out of nowhere! Wasn't hyped at release, just came out. Movie games were notoriously bad up to that point. Yet this unhyped movie game comes out and people instantly start recognizing it. Still remember buying it from Walmart on a whim near release thinking it would be fun when I was in between N64 titles. Little did I know it would be something I would identify with my entire lifetime. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acromite53 | 337 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Chrono Trigger. Without a doubt. The music, story, characters, settings, combat attacks, world building. It's all so beautiful. My favorite video game soundtrack as well. Earthbound comes in second. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdius | 1,514 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) I can't decide between Final Fantasy IX and Earthbound. A close third is Ocarina of Time. Final Fantasy IX was the first rpg that I really got into. The graphics were amazing, the battle system was great (although a bit slow) and the soundtrack is also great. I played Earthbound for the first time a few years and it was just incredible. I payed the going price at the time (around US$120) and I don't regret it one bit. It was just everything I wanted from a rpg. Edited October 24, 2019 by Galdius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleck586 | 300 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I can't decide between the Legend of Zelda (the original) or Lufia II. Probably Zelda wins out, but I do love Lufia II. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no kid nostalgia for Mega Mans... didn't experience them until an adult. But I really find MM2 and MM3 interchangable to me without the nostalgia. MM2 had better weapons (Metal Blades overpowered though), but both had great music and MM3 added the slide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abelardo | 154 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 SNES Final Fantasy 3, I've played a few RPGs before but nothing near as engaging as this, looking forward I've come to think that it might not have aged very well, but playing it for the first time has been my most memorable experience as a gamer. I've told my wife that if this game ever gets a remake in a modern console then that will be reason enough for me to own a modern console. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstralSoul | 502 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 EarthBound but Super Mario 64 is right up there next to it. EarthBound just has more nostalgia for me than any other game. It came to me at the ripe age of 13 back in 1996 and it was my 2nd RPG ever (Super Mario RPG was my introduction to the genre) and I loved the modern setting in EarthBound, the music, the humor, everything about it was memorable to me and I still replay it every year or two. Super Mario 64 though... I can't think of any other moment in my video game history where I was more "WOW"ed than the first time I picked up an N64 controller and played Super Marip 64. When N64 came out I was so uninterested in it, I just loved my SNES and didn't want to move on to the next gen. But I saw the game in Blockbuster in a demo unit and tried it out with much hesitation. It was mere moments later I knew I had to have an N64. All these years later I still remember everything about this game and replay it every so often. Because it's near impossible for me to pick only 1 or 2 favorites, here's my top 10 list: 1. EarthBound 2. Super Mario 64 3. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest 4. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island 5. Conkers Bad Fur Day 6. Final Fantasy IX 7. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars 8. BioShock 2 9. Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker 10. Resident Evil 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the answer to be “no”! Definitely. I've had a handful of other games that I've loved and will always go back to at one point or another (River City Ransom, Arcade TMNT/TMNT 2, Pool of Radiance series, etc.), but nothing hits home the way that Mega Man 2 did. It was the first of only two games that I asked for the year that my parents finally got me an NES. Prior to that I'd wanted the system so I could play the various games, but nothing captured my attention the way MM2 did. My parents were initially upset when I played all the way through and beat the game on Christmas morning, just after finishing opening all my presents and getting my NES set up for the first time. That reaction faded when I started it back up and played through again before proceeding to the other game I'd asked for and gotten that morning (Strider, for the curious). 49 minutes ago, JamesRobot said: I been drinking the MM2 koolaid since I was a kid. Tough to beat the best. Definitely. The others weren't bad, but I don't think they offered quite the perfect balance of difficulty and fun that the second game hit on. I've been disappointed when I've screwed up in that game (mostly as a kid, learning to play through it when we'd rent it at a friends house before getting my own system and copy of the game), but never exasperated, upset, or angry with it the way it would happen with other games on occasion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Chrono Trigger. i don’t even like rpg’s. But when I played this game for the first time it was amazing. I spent nearly the entire summer off playing it. Logged countless hours and still play it now. Just started a new game a couple weeks ago.

It's a little rough around the edges compared to modern shooters but still super fun. I actually got rid of my 64 this year to focus on NES. This was the only game that was really holding me back so I couldn't justify keeping it all. N64 is pretty much a Goldeneye machine for me. Such good times playing 4 player death matches on a 19" tv in a tiny smoke filled apartment drinking cases of Natty Ice. So fun, I can taste it now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
