Post your picks... I nominate Tetris, it never gets old, it's addictive as hell, challenging and you can literally play it for hours on and end.

Great choice as well! still considered a classic to this day!

I camped with my wife not far from that space - no tent just a tarp great 3 days.
Last hiking trip we walked from that spot all the way back to Dublin in two days - possible the best time I had with my wife so far.
Shes a tough cookie too ;) I had to hump most of the stuff but damn there are some parts of the Wicklow way that are tough as fuck.
She also adapted great outside considering that it was her first time sleeping outside without a tent.
I don't know but I'm sure there are some people here who have don similar trips and its hard to describe but there is something unbelievable magical to wake up in the forest in the early morning.
I think thats what hunting is all about - for a lot its just trophy hunting but I bet you for a few its all about the sense you get back.
And they come back fast - I did a hiking trip in Canada for 1 week by myself - no tent because they are too heavy it was summer and all you need is a tarp, and its magical how fast your pervisiol vision and your sixths sense is coming back.
For instance on my third day I had this real uneasy feeling - I was on a clearing and I knew there was a bear on the other side - I just felt it somehow, like somebody is walking over your grave and you're hairs on your neck are standing up.
So I stopped and watched and sure enough 15 min later or so a big brown bear comes out sees me and makes a big circle around me :)

We are so used to society and sometimes forget that getting back to nature is very good, away from damn phones, email and shit worrying the hell out of you everyday. Now you got me wanting to take a trip.

Pong!
Totally changed the game!
Before Pong, kids had to actually get a physical item such as a ball or frisbee and do this weird and socially uncomfortable thing called 'making friends' to be able to play with someone.
Once Pong came on the scene, everyone realized balls were gay and friends are even gayer.
Praise PONG!

i think mario, halo, doom, gta, maybe a couple others im forgetting would be good candidates

I'm a fucking nerd. I love all the shit on the NES, but the glory days were when SNES and Genesis were the big hits. I remember all the amazing side scrollers and RPGs. Big RPG fan... the Playstation had great hits and then the only emulation and translation scene got huge in early 2000. Even BETTER SNES and 16-bit console RPGs got translated and I blew my load over that shit.
Nowadays there aren't so many great games. Too many FPS games... I traded in my shitty XBOX 360 for a PS3 and haven't been disappointed. Best next gen game IMO is Batman Arkam Asylum... holy shit. This game is fucking mint. It's a little linear but there are a lot of side quests/tasks to keep you busy. Absolutely wicked game.
Playing Uncharted 2 right now and it's awesome as well, but not as polished as Batman AA. I hate running into invisible walls and fumbling around with the controls, but it's otherwise right up there. Waiting to bust my load over Final Fantasy 13. If I'm not juicing I'll probably shrink down 15lbs, lock myself in the house and play it every waking hour that I'm not eating or at work. 8)

street fighter II, great game. I loved it, beat it with almost all the characters-I think the only one I couldn't beat it with was Dhalisam or however you spelled his name. Street Fighter II alpha was pretty awsome as well.

I've been playing video games since Pong in 1976.
There have been several games that really added new dimensions to game play that
were ahead of their time...
my favorite of all time is Doom...

It was floating around the internet around 1998-2000.

If it hasn't been stated already Killer Instinct 2 and KI Gold, and of course MORTAL KOMBAT, all these were sadistic games.

It was only on the DC in Europe and Japan. It was never released in the US on the Dreamcast, but was on the XBox later.
Either way, both games sucked, that's why we've never seen the third one. Liking this game is the reverse of fans of FF series shitting on FFVII because it got popular. Shenmue sucked, unless you consider petting a kitten or driving a forklift the pinnacle of gaming history.

Fuck yeah, almost forgot about Shenmue!! Never played Shenmue 2 though, only released in EU and on the XBOX in NA. Dreamcast rocked. I wasted so many hours playing Phantasy Star Online. It was the only MMORPG that I ever enjoyed.

Damn...Shenmue I was so long and drawn-out. Never bothered to check out II expecting more of the same.
For DC imports, Ikaruga and Border Down were amazing shmups. Now, I'm off to fire up my DC.

Actually the 2nd Shenmue was LIGHTYEARS better than the first one, you can't even compare them. The first one was kinda "new", but far away from perfect and just poorly conceived (that forklift shit everyday; You can knock on all doors but noone answers etc etc). Still the story was great, so I got the 2nd one. The 2nd one was then by far the best game to ever exist.
Almost forgot that it never made it on the US market, so only few of you guys had the chance to enjoy it. The XBox version later on was a joke, cause it was hardly technically improved at all. It came 2 years later on a console of the next generation with basically exactly the same graphics and everything it had 2 years earlier on the dreamcast lol.

The BEST! Even after you beat the game you still can have fun with it just by starting shit, having cops chase you, and blowing stuff up - all for the fun of it. ;D
Rumor has it that Grand Theft Auto 5 may be available 2010 Q4 or 2011 Q1. I hope this is true and it takes place surrounding Los Angeles like they did with San Andreas. 8)

nope the next gta will def. be in vice city
it was always like this except for gta london
first liberty,then vice city then san andreas

But far away from the best video game ever.
Even San Andreas was 10000x better than GTA 4.

yoshi's island on snes was great shit too

Speaking of video games, Does anyone remember that tv show, cant remember what the hell it was called, it was on back in the early-mid nineties, there was 3 contestants, and all the questions were about a video game, then the winner would be wearing like a velcro suit and went running around the place grabbing all the games they wanted and sticking them to thier suit, and at the end would slide down a slide. I was probably about 8 yrs old back when that was on.

It's where you take all your agression out ...sometimes it just leaft you more aggressive. Tekken 3 was the really the first time I saw Capoeira in action, and got me wanting to learn it.
-
San Andreas was 10000x better than GTA 4.
The only thing that made it better was the size of the playing field. So big was San Andreas that you can fly a jetliner and parachute out. That, and also when you got 5 stars the army would come after you. Something GTA 4 doesn't do. :(

why ? its a rediculously poor fighting system.
-
why ? its a rediculously poor fighting system.
All have their strenght and weaknesses. Capoeira's strength is the dodging, cardio and athletic aspect. Plus you must learn the instrumments, the language, Brazilian culture. You will not see a fat capoeirarista.
True, it is poorly adapted for the ring, there is a reason why it was outlawed in brazil.

Ikaruga was amazing. I remember playing that as soon as it started floating around on the internet. That shit's insanely hard on one-player. One two-player it's a hell of a lot of fun. But you blink for a second or fuck up once and it's game over lol

Yeah, man. I rented it from Blockbuster and couldn't stand it. It was a sweet game but with a clunky XBOX controller I got too distracted.
I have my Dreamcast all boxed up and ready to sell but now I'm thinking of dusting it off and giving it a spin. But I've got to work with my in-laws though so I'll be gone all day. Mad nostalgia :'(

LOL, I've fought against guys that did capoeira, it's too much useless motion, huge waste of energy and not very efficient..in a fight you're usually trying to preserve energy/endurance..with capoeira you're exhausted in 30 seconds from all the jumping around, then you're opponent just pops you with a jab and knocks you out :)

many sleepless nights back in the day thanks to that game
I honestly really and truly wish I could relive those days for a little while. That was soooo fucking fun, I hope I never forget them. Highschool, 1 or 2 buddys, trying to beat all the levels and then kicking eachothers asses on the weekends with 4 people. So fun!

My favorite game was Zelda on the SNES 8) Still a great game today.

Ok, screw this... let's go for top 5... 1 is just too damn hard to pick..
in no particular order;
Doom
Super Mario 3
Street Fighter 2
Tetris
Warcraft 2
Each one pretty much defined and redefined a genre, had more people hooked on it then crack, some had hollywood movies made out of them (3) and are beyond epic... also you can play them for hours and hours without getting tired bored..
-
IN this order!! (Mortal kombat,SNES) (Mario Kart, N64), (Doom. SNES) ( 007, Golden eye, N64) these games have occupied over 2 yrs of my life
-
Resident Evil series...
Fallout..
Resident evil was a cool series
Will play 5th installment once time permits
-
Post your picks... I nominate Tetris, it never gets old, it's addictive as hell, challenging and you can literally play it for hours on and end.
