Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Calibur is probably my favorite old game. Played through it about 5 times and it was probably the only good RPG on the N64. Put a lot of time into Risk 2 and Age of Empires 2. Also put quite a bit of time into World of Warcraft back before all the expansions.

My list (too long, I know):

RPG: Panzer Dragoon Saga (Sega Saturn), Albert Odyssey (Sega Saturn), Super Mario RPG (SNES)

Beat 'em up: Guardian Heroes (Sega Saturn), Ninjawarriors (SNES), and Streets of Rage 2 (Sega Genesis) - I could play any of these all day long.

Fighting: Capcom vs. SNK 2 (Dreamcast, Xbox) - best fighting game ever, MvC2 (Dreamcast)

Sports: NBA Hangtime (Arcade)

SHMUP (my favorite genre) - Too many to list, but I'll keep it down to 5: Zero Gunner 2 (Dreamcast), Ikaruga (Dreamcast), Radiant Silvergun (Sega Saturn), Guardian Force (Sega Saturn), Mushihimesama HD (Xbox 360)

Party/Multiplayer: Gauntlet Dark Legacy (Xbox)

FPS: Doom 3 (Xbox)

Platformer: Skullmonkeys (PS1), Gunstar Heroes (Sega Genesis), Gunner's Heaven (PS1)

There are so many more, but these are the ones that came to mind as some of my favorites. All I can tell you is that I have WAY too many videogames (and don't have time to play them anymore ) :sad:

Forgot Civ 5. 10/10 game with the expansions. By far the most time I've put into a video game except maybe WOW in high school.

Another one, Need For Speed Underdround 2.

Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Wonderful, another Friday OT that makes me feel old. So here are my thoughts. I grew up on the Nintendo ES. By the time the Super Nintendo came around, I was too old to dive into it too much. But my votes go to:

Super Mario Bro's: pretty hard to not put this at the top when my kids continue to play the same "version" on their game players.

1942: for some reason I absolutely loved this game.

Contra: same thing, my buddies never got into this one, but I loved this game. I always told myself I wanted to grow up to be one of these dudes.

When I was younger, it was Missile Command and Asteroids. I got hooked on Lemmings until the last stage, a while back. Now its Tiger Woods Golf on the Wii.

Halo

Competitive play, speedrunning, tricks/glitches: I love every aspect of this game. Halo MCC has been a pretty big let down for me.

Everquest from 99-03. I'm still not sure if it's my favorite or least favorite game ever but I certainly played it more than anything else.
