Best video game of ALL time...

[Parker]

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.

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.

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

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.

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

everquest is the best game of all times

[polychronopolous]

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   Still a great game today.

Nobody mentioned this bad boy - I think I owned all of them except the most recent one!

I had the one with the intro of Passionate Patty.  Good stuff 

[BIG ACH]

You mean this one? :-) The 4th one, though they titled it as Larry 5 and claimed 4 was never released :-)

[just_a_pilgrim]

I played this to death recently managed to hit level 26

I liked Vice City more than San Andreas, San Andreas was too long and by the time i finished it i was over it, Vice City i went back and did shit again.

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..

[younggunz]

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

[Tyr]

Resident Evil series...

Fallout..

Resident evil was a cool series
Will play 5th installment once time permits

[Sherief Shalaby]

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.

commandos (part 2)..
max payne (both parts)..

Another hidden gem

[Griffith]

Shenmue 2 for the dreamcast. End of thread!

Ron, close that thread and delete all posts naming a different game than Shenmue 2, these punks have no clue what they talking about when it comes to video games.

One of the best games I've ever played  

[jprc10]

Mortal Kombat II or Super Mario World.
