[CoachHines3]

i played a sh*t ton of gears of war back in the day. the original was great.

Don't have much time for video games, but PS3 Call of Duty World at War/Nazi Zombies was an absolute blast. Donkey Kong Country on Super NES was a fantastic game. And everyone loves Mario Kart.

Admit it. You loved playing the old Baldur’s Gates with me when I insist on smashing everything possible, and always jumping everywhere so that my dwarf guy makes the “hut hut” sound constantly.

As a rule, I don't really do "my favorite" of anything, because why limit yourself? With that said, a list of my favorite video games would include the XCOM series, Witcher 3, and Sleeping Dogs. I'd also include the Borderlands and Diablo series as well as Ghost Recon Wildlands, which are a blast with a good group of people.

 

[mapnerd]

The list is long and distinguished, so I'll just say Skyrim for now.

Played an insane amount of Return to Castle Wolfenstein when it came out back in '01. That's about it for me.

These games were great.

Space Invaders at the local 10 lane bowling alley.

This - at my brother's place about 1981 on his Atari. That's probably the last time I played a video game except maybe 3 minutes with a nephew on some holiday or family gathering. I do enough time wasting activities, so I'm sort of glad I never delved into anything after that.

I was sorely tempted to invest in Guitar Hero when the Beatles version was released, but ultimately, did not.

The Castlevania games. But not all of them. Only:

Castlevania
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Castlevania: Bloodlines

 

[cytor]

Atari 2600.... Adventure

Also Tecmo Bowl... NES

 

[BuffettClone]

Nostalgia from my childhood - Legend of Zelda and Gauntlet on NES playing with my dad and brother.

I wasted a lot of time on The Sims on PC as a teen.

In my "adult" years I loved Fallout 3 and the Assassin's Creed series, especially the Ezio trilogy.

As a father, I have enjoyed playing the Lego games with my kids - Indiana Jones, Batman and Star Wars

Edit: I did play a ton of NCAA football and basketball also

 

[BurgundyClone]

Intellivison :Baseball
NES -Tecmo Super Bowl
SNES -Super Metroid
Playstation -NBA Live
PS2 -COD WW2
Xbox One -Red Dead Redemption 2
Xbox Series X -Warzone (still play way too many hours)
-downloaded an NES emulator a few weeks ago for our giant screen and played a bunch of Megaman -ran out of patience though before defeating it

 

[CycloneSarah]

Super Mario Bros 3 will always be my favorite. Roller Coaster Tycoon on PC is a close 2nd.

 

[VeloClone]

From a game I played a lot as a kid, probably Metroid II on Game Boy.
I replayed that game so many times that I was able to track down all the missiles, energy tanks, etc.
I wasn't allowed to have an NES or SNES, so I didn't get to play those games unless I was at a friend's house or after I went to college.

From games I've played as an adult, it's a tie between old school Final Fantasy games (and the VII remake) and any of the Fallout series. I just got my PS3 fixed so I can continue to play Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

IDK what my favorite game is really, but Minsc is my favorite character in any video game ever, and it's not close.

 

[CascadeClone]

Not much of a gamer anymore; however ....

Pitfall. Atari 2600

EDIT: Did I just date myself?!

('Cause no one else will!)

To think we used to ******* throw hands over Atari football

Looking back I'm not sure what the hell was even going on. Flickering and buzzes...that was about it, but I will kick mother ******* ass if I lose! **** sucker!

Pitfall was perfection.

Edit for reference
