IROC - I have Shootout 98! I Rock it on that game, and it costed me only 10 bucks cuz everyone thought it sucked.

1. FF8
2. FF Anthology
3. Metal Gear Solid
4. Crash Bandicoot Team Racing
5. Soul Blade

[Mulder]

1. Metal Gear Solid (Snake, you idiot!)
2. Fear Effect (It's brand new, check it out)
3. Siphon Filter (Sequel available soon)
4. Intelligence Cube (addictive!)
5. Driver
6. Soul Reaver (The narrators voice rocks)

I'd also like to hear what you guys think are the most overhyped or overrated games. I was exteremly disappointed in the following:
1,2,3. All but the first Tomb Raider.
4,5. Resident Evil 2 & 3.
6. Phantom Menace (My friend's 4 year old beat this one)
7. The sequel to Parappa the Rapper (I forget the name) The first one was catchy, the second one sucked.
8. All the Street Fighters. This arcade game is not the same on a console. I put myself through College betting on this one, I was really disappointed with the PSX version.

What about you guys?

1) Metal Gear Solid
2) NFL Blitz 2000
3) Crash Team Racing
4) Resident Evil Series
5) Crash Warped (It is part 3 of the Crash Bandicot series)
6) Atari Series (Only games my wife will play. She still loves Pac Man and Froger!)

Did I mention I can't wait for PS2!!!

[Mulder]

PhiSlammaJamma: Check out metal gear solid at this web site...
http://www.metalgear.com/

Coming from a guy who rents and finishes games in less than a week on a regular basis, it is the ONLY game I bought. It is definately worth a look.

The truth is out there.

[Mulder]

I should add that you should use the low bandwidth part of the site. The flash/shockwave is screwed up right now.

[Dreamshake]

Man o Man...

Yars Revenge was the absolute bomb, back in the day.

Megolamania was cool

and I was always partial to Combat but only the tank's with the bouncing bullets

Nintendo...
Tecmo Bowl
Double Dribble
Legend of Zelda

Genesis...
Ground Zero


as for Playstation...

Tomb Raider (1-3)
Metal Gear Solid

Megamania for my vote too http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/smile.gif

I actually won a t-shirt for getting 100,000 points http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

[IROC it]

Other favorites.....
Atari - Berzerk (could play that for hours on end!!)
Nintendo - Tecmo SuperBowl
Sega Genesis - NBA Jam (Super fun!!)
PlayStation honorable mentions:
Tomb Raiders - if you can get the hang of the which way to steer Laura Croft
Gecko games, new 3D Frogger, High Heat 2000 (baseball), Tekken games (HOW DID I FORGET THESE!!!????), Soul Blade, Dark Forces, Rebel Assault II

Mulder, I agree on Star Wars Ep. 1 TPM game, too easy! But it's still cool to play through.

DON'T BUY:
Jet Moto 2
Rayman (unless you just like kids' games)
NBA JAM Extreme (loads toooooo slow, plays at an awkward angle)
Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi (fighting game/die hard Star Wars fans only... really kinda lame in the light of Tekken)

Best PC games anyone?

[Clutch]

Atari: Remember "Adventure"?
Coleco: Donkey Kong Jr.
Old Nintendo: RBI Baseball (I still believe this is one of the funnest baseball games today)
Genesis: EA NHL Hockey '93
PlayStation: Twisted Metal 2 one of the funner games, though NBA Live 2000 is very fun.

BTW, my older brother is working in Japan at the moment -- PS2 just came out there. Says it is INSANE how graphically awesome it is.

[PhiSlammaJamma]

First of all. I own two games. Triple play Baseball 98 and Live Basketball 99. Those are pretty good. What is the Metal Gear Solid game all about?

[This message has been edited by keeley (edited March 11, 2000).]

[PhiSlammaJamma]

I think Tecmo Bowl changed everything. That was the first game that I can think of that really looked at the individual talents of every player. I played that game all the time. In the original, the Bears and giants could block every kick attempt...heee heee! I got so good at the first version I could win with Seattle and Curt Warner. Run run run. My friends hated me.

[Dr of Dunk]

Ok, ok, I'll play along :

Atari 2600

Berzerk
Yars Revenge
Pitfall
Frogger
Defender
(probably a bunch more I'm forgetting)

PC

Frontpage Sports Football
Frontpage Sports Baseball
Front Office Football
Bard's Tale
Dragon Wars
Civilization II
Age of Empires I & II
Total Annihilation
Total Annihilation:Kingdoms
Diablo
Baldur's Gate
Ultima V, VI, VII
Railroad Tycoon II
Roller Coaster Tycoon
Warcraft
Starcraft
Descent I&II
Alpha Centauri (only 'cause my name's in the manual as a beta tester. LOL!)

Can't think of any more at the moment. Not much into games anymore because of lack of time.

[thacabbage]

One word:

DRIVER

That is the illest Playstation game (after Metal Gear Solid) ever to hit the racks. Give it a try if you haven't already.

[Mulder]

Driving the guy to the mob hit is one of the boldest moves in gaming in a Long time. I was freakin shocked and I loved it.

[Almu]

PC Games:

Quake
Unreal
Unreal Tournament
Roller Coaster Tycoon
StarCraft
WarCraft

Playstation

SoulBlade is my favorite all time game. I won a couple of tournaments locally here back in the day. I can't wait for PS2 to come out. I heard its going to be dual compatible. Meaning, you can still get PSI to play on it.

I don't know if anyone has Segas Mutant League Football. I thought that game was awesome!

[Lord Tree]

As far as Playstation goes, everyone is forgetting what is one of the greatest RPGs ever. And, no, it doesn't have Final Fantasy in the title, but it is made by the same company: Xenogears. I'll have to admit, though, that is was text intensive, which probably turned a lot of people away. Their loss. =)

Lord Tree

[Calvin23]

My favorite games are NBA LIVE 2000 and CRASH BANDICOOT. NBA LIVE has everything but the Slam Dunk Contest, and I bet that will be there for 2001.

Tip for everyone with little kids: Don't get them that Rugrats game. My 5 year old cousin got bored playing that!

Also, don't get an NBA game for the PC. To play it, you really need an EA SPORTS PC controller, and I couldn't find one anywhere!

[AntiSonic]

NES: Metroid, Kid Icarus, Super Mario Bros, Zelda 1&2...
Genesis: Spider-Man(Sega's AWESOME true to the comics version- NOT Acclaim's horrible offering.)
Super NES: Yoshi's Island- IMO the best side-scrolling game of all time
N64: NBA Hangtime(racking up quadruple doubles with Drexler is sill a blast!)
Dreamcast: Armada(SUPER-addictive!!!)

[Dreamshake]

Caucasion...
How can you like that Ready 2 Rumble. I think its just horrible. Limited, and quite slow on the combo's.

Dreamcast...

Soul Caliber is absolutely amazing
NFL and NBA2k rock solid. Anyone know about NHL2k? Still waiting on Shenmue, Castlevania, Resident Evil, and Rainbow six.

And by god, how could I forget Metroid. It was the coolest.

Anyone remember R.O.B., for the Nintendo?

[Lord Tree]

I've seen quite a bit of the Japanese Shenmue. It looks to be a very interesting game with A LOT to do. It does seem to lack some "cohesion" between everything that goes on... a sort of grand design to everything, I guess. Admittedly, my Japanese isn't all that great, so I am missing stuff.

Another one of my playstation and all-time favorites is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It didn't sell well, but was a superb game.

Lord Tree

[Mulder]

Tree- I forget about that one. Symphony was the only game other than Metal Gear that I couldn't finish in the four day rental period.

------------------
The truth is out there.

[Redglare]

We have a Nintendo JUST so we can keep playing RBI. And for good laughs, the local laundry/bar has RBI 3, complete with the roundest players I've ever seen (although I think Fernando Valenzuela is probably drawn to scale). And those sound effects on fly balls are music to my ears...

[Lynus302]

I never seem to have the time for video games like I used to, but I still have my favs:

•Playstation:

-Mortal Kombat Trilogy (never really mastered this one, but I can still kick some ass).
-Street Fighter collection (I'll beat the hell out of anyone on this one, and you can quote me on that).
-Jedi Masters doesn't really qualify as a favorite, but I think it had alot of potential. I'd like to see a new/better version with more characters to choose from.

Oldie but goodie favs:
•Super Nintendo

-NBA Jam TE is my game.

•Atari (for those of us old enough to remember it)
-Remember Pitfall? That game was awesome.
-Defender was an awesome game too.

I'm waiting for the Playstation II before I get any more games. I can't wait to see the next versions of games like King of the Ring, NBA 200x, etc.

------------------
I need a new signature.

[4chuckie]

I spent so many hours in college playing Tecmo Bowl. Truly an addicting game!
