Your Favorite Video Game Ever - Any Format

Dig Dug, the arcade game.

'Course, I nearly got kicked out every time that little bastard would stick. But what fun.

 

Super Tecmo Bowl. Hands down. No other game did I rent more for NES than this. The day I saved up enough money to buy it for myself, that, my friends, was a great day in my history.

 

OK, good, Precious Roy mentioned a Final Fantasy game, so I'm not the only NERD! here.

Hard to say of all-time, but I did dig:
The old Castlevania games, so much that I bought a PS1 Castlevania game on eBay once.
NCAA football. I buy it every year.
NCAA basketball. I really finally got the game tuning right this year, and the gameplay has been just fantastic.
Final Fantasy games, especially X and XII.

 

Ms Pac-Man [/jimmy lynam] (I once him saw him at an arcade down the Jersey story five straight days playing.

I remember that game. My mom and I used to go down to Harrisburg every year to see my uncle. We'd switch buses in Binghamton, and it was in the bus station.

My favorite arcade game was ExciteBike (sp?). Loved it.

I had many favorites. Super Mario, RC Pro-Am, Off Road, Tetris, Paperboy and Joust (loved me some atari).
As far as PS or X-Box go, GTA is at the top of the list. Loved Abe's Oddworld, Twisted Metal and now Tiger.

 

Tony, great call on Jungle King. I forgot all about that game.

Gorf
Galaxian/Galaga

And every time we go to the movie theater, I absolutely have to play that Deer Hunter game.


Pinball
Centaur
Haunted House
Black Knight
Circus Circus
8-Ball Deluxe

Home video games

My favorite of the electronic era. Lots of depth to it.

 

I almost forgot, in the home video game category:

EA NHL Hockey for Sega Genesis
The X-Men for Sega Genesis
Resident Evil series (PS1)

 

Agreed.

 

Back in the early 80s, my Dad worked part-time fixing vending machines, video games, dart machines, etc. One contractor would drop off a machine and give my Dad a certain amount of time to fix it and then come back.

To my great delight, this guy dropped off the full-sized arcade Galaga...my Dad fixed it in about 20 minutes, leaving me with two straight weeks of free Galaga time! Best two weeks of my life.

I absolutely loved the original Legend of Zelda...got it for Christmas my freshman year in high school.

I would play it for 8-10 hours straight during my holiday vacation...until I would spend all my time sleeping playing the game in my dreams. I had to quit for a couple weeks, and when I resumed, I had to limit myself to an hour at a time.

Good stuff

 

I wanted to get the original Jacks Open pinball game ... until I saw how much one of those costs.

Whew. $1,500.
