I could narrow it down to Galaga and Defender but can't decide from there.

I remember an early interview with the guy who created Defender. He said he thought no one would ever score more than 100,000 points. Found that he had trouble getting there so he figured if he couldn't as the game designer know one would. Of course he was mistaken. I poured a lot of quarters into that machine. IIRC my highest score was like 340,000 or so. Was at the top of the little on base pizza/sub shop machine for a long time.

Eternal Darkness was a really fun game. The "sanity effects" concept was pretty neat.

Never heard of it but some quick reading makes it seem like it was an interesting concept.

The concept was taken a step further in Amnesia: The Dark Descent and even used in Batman: Arkham Asylum (think Scarecrow).

I would love to have a Street Fighter II machine.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Call of Duty 4

Resident Evil

Killzone

Starcraft

Unreal Tournament

Tenchu: Stealth Assassin

Diablo II

Galaga

Bionic Commando

Tetris

Where were you guys on the one with multiplayer? That was one of the coolest games Ive ever played but I so wanted to play VS other people. Nobody was EVER on.

I bet that was fun. Back when I was playing Tenchu I wasn't hooked up on-line.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Cool Sega games that were underrated:



Tyrants: Fight Through Time

Buck Rogers

 

[jdoggydogg]

One more cool Nintendo game that just occurred to me:

Gunsmoke

And for Sega:

Dune

 

[Drifter]

Pirates! Is a good one. I'm replacing Bards Tale with that

 

[Chuck Norris]

Sega Genesis

Herzog Zwei (Anyone else heard of this? Awesome underappreciated game)

Herzog Zwei was great. I haven't tried this yet, but there's a remake in open beta: AirMech

To each their own. It was very linear but it was early on in the WW2 FPS genre so I loved it. If it came out now, I probably wouldn't even play it.

 

[Village Idiot]

Games that I have played the most...NES...1) RBI Baseball

I loved how the Pitchers would tire out and start losing pitch velocity when their pitch counts went up.

Ms Pacman. Or Gauntlet.

I'd go with Gauntlet.Work friends and i used to go play it 3 way after work at 4 am, at a convenience store near work that had one.

[Major]

Resident Evil games have to be on my list as well. If you have great surround sound (and, I'm sure you do), these games scared the #### out of me.

Cosign. I only played the first Resident Evil (playstation) but it was like watching/playing an interactive horror movie. Scared the piss out of me at times. I think that was the last modern game I actually finished.
