All Time Top Ten

[Broken_Hero]

1. This is going to be hard, and I will have a lot of run on sentences here....

My all time top ten list of console/pc gaming is a list I haven't really thought about until your OP. I started on my path of gaming at the arcades, playing Gauntlet, Galaga, Pacman, Missile Command and when the commodore 64 came out gaming really hit me in the face. Finally, I can play a game for as long as I want and I don't have to put quarters in the machine all the damn time. After the Commodore 64 I followed the NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, PS1, PS2, PS3/Wii/Xbox 360 trail.

With all that in mind, here is a patched together list.

10. Zaxxon, for the Commodore 64. My dad and put countless hours in this game, always trying to out do our high scores. A lot of good memories, for such a repetitive level game.

9. Beach Head II for the Commodore 64. This game by far was the game of GAMES between my father and I. We spent more time playing this game than any other activity.

8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES. I was a huge TMNT freak, and I enjoyed the team aspect of this game, and is the only game I really had to put some blood, sweat and tears into, but I loved every minute of it.

7. Street Fighter II Turbo for the SNES. So many hours poured into this game, learning moves, and fighting countless battles with friends, and strangers a like.

6. Mortal Kombat III for the SNES. I almost got kicked out of college because of this game, I missed so many classes because of this addictive game...so many hours, I knew every combo, fatality, babality, friendship...fuck, I knew everything about this game.

5. Legend of Zelda for the NES....fuck me sideways, when I first played this game I think I didn't move out of my chair for a whole day. The layout of the game, the aspect of finding heart containers, dungeon sweeping...finding hidden ruppees and other weapons...damn, this game was epic on so many levels.

4. God of War for the ps2. When I first got this game, it wouldn't work on my ps2...I found out I had a first gen ps2 and for some odd reason GOW wouldn't work on it, so I went out and bought the slim line and I lost track of time for about 3 days...this is the first time in a long time where the story, and motives of the character really hit me.

3. Castlevania Symphony of the Night, loved the story, the bad guys were awesome, and the dungeon scrolling/story was top notch. I spent many weeks playing this, some of those nights I was on acid...some good nights.

2. Tekken 3 for the ps1. After my love affair with Mortal Kombat the fighting genre moved to Tekken, so I followed suit and dominated this game like no other....spent hours, days, weeks, even fucking dreamed about combo's, and linking throws with King in my damn sleep! I haven't been beaten in a Tekken for so damn long, I cannot even remember the last time I lost at this game. So many good memories around the game, getting shit faced, and throwing down with a lot of friends...

1. Diablo for the ps1...this game is easily the game...in which I dumped the most hours, and blood into. I spent so much time finding all the weapons, amulets, rings, the best armor, and co-op play was great! Finally for a D and D head like myself, I could actually dungeon crawl with a friend. I still have my ps1 memory card with my character files on it...I would play it more, but the memory card won't allow me to save a game, only character....


There's my top ten, there was a lot of other honorable mentions though, like Shadow Gate, Wizards of Wor, Skyrim, Assasins Creed...hell, a lot of honorable mentions....
