Consider us friends

Landstalker is flat out one of the most enjoyable action/adventure games i ever played...ever.

I also dug Gunstar Heroes a lot, i remember playing it for weeks, perfecting every jump and attack to the point (and memorizing every bosses attacks) where i would zip right through the game without losing one life.

I also played Shining in the Darkness, did you? It was pretty solid, from what i recall.

I also remember one more arcade game i love a lot: Sega/Westone's WonderBoy in Monsterland.

Since the enemies would keep coming, I'd have a fully powered up dude in the morning that I could easily beat the game with. Heh...

Hells yeah! What I did was get to a place with one of those tall robot looking things and wail on them for the experience for about an hour, and then I went to this place that was full of minibosses for this snail looking thing that kept respawning, and it gave awesome experience in a short time for a maxed out character.

I liked Strider on the NES as well, but it was soooo buggy.

Anyone here showing love for Blaster Master or Ogre Battle?
OMG, I love those games!

Blaster Master was the one with the car that could jump right? That game was pretty fun.

...just to mention a few more: Gothic (especially the first one), GuildWars, Nethack, Wizard of Wor, X-Wing, Castles of Dr. Creep, (B.C's) Quest for Tires, Paradroid, Blue Max, Silent Service (especially II), Red Baron & Aces of the Pacific, Lemmings...

Greetings from Hannover!

P.S.: S.P.: Gothic has a nice storyline, btw.

MJG, you better edit your post before Jude has a fit.

Someone mentioned Bard's Tale.
Wow, I remember playing that on my Commodore 64.

Favorite PC game hands down is Doom 2.
Customizing weapons with dehacked was a blast!
Favorite console game was Super Mario Bros.
I can still play that all the way through.
Favorite arcade was Packman.
I even had patterns that chased the ghosts around.

 

[mjg]

oh man holy crap
thanks for reminding me i edited that out...

wow those admins are harsh, What... totally unprofessional and stupid way to deal with discouraging usage of images, really apologize about that guys.

Damn right, it was fun. Not only could the car jump, but it could get blaster upgrades, it could use special weapons, hover in midar for a few moments, submerge underwater and travel at high speed, and crawl up walls and ceilings by the time you reach the endgame levels-too bad worrying about how your vehicle(Sophia) reacts to surfaces gets really annoying with that much versatility. Oh, and you could go into overhead view too, and it was awesome as well. Even the Playstation Blaster Master: Blasting Again title was a great game from a gameplay standpoint, IMO.

Some of my favorites:

Turn based:
Civilization 2 (Better than 1.)
Master of Orion 2 (Ohhhh yeaaahh...)
X-Com (Sooo addicting.)

RPGs:
Baldur's Gate II (I've not played Planescape Torment =(.)
Chrono Trigger (Simply awesome.)
Fallout 2 (Very good turn based RPG.)
Final Fantasy IV (Not the greatest storyline, but for some reason I can play this game over and over again--huge replay value.)
Final Fantasy VI (Obvious inclusion as the best Final Fantasy ever.)
Final Fantasy VII (Broke away from the previous games' styles successfully. The best of the non-classic Final Fantasies.)
Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu III lacks the same charm. Get 3 players going on this game.)

Party:
Super Bomberman (4 player SNES action!)
Smash Brother (Much more intense than Melee.)

Adventure/Action:
Super Metroid (Metroid II for Gameboy was excellent as well.)
The Legend of Zelda (Hehe, I still remember almost every bush that you can burn down.)
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Of course!)

Arcade:
DDR
Guantlet

Ancient:
Castle of the Winds (Though way too easy to cheat on... and short.)
Commander Keen (w00t.)
Duke Nukem (Yes, the original sidescrolling ones.)
Oregon Trail (Voldemort has died of infection.)
That one frog game where you munch words and there are cutscenes and stuff

Tetris (Obvious.)

Other random stuff that is really good, but not as good as the above:
Alpha Centauri (Like Civ 2 but different.)
Deus Ex (Neat, but I got bored after a bit.)
Knights of the Old Republic
Mario (Sorry, it just gets too old too quickly. Even Super Mario Brothers.)
Mario RPG (For the sheer novelty of it.)
Pipedreams (For when you get bored of playing Tetris on your NES.)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Fun... but like no replay value at all.)

Hrm, wow, that list was kinda long, and probably missed a lot of excellent games that I can't think of right now...

I'm surprised someone to meet someone who has acutally heard of Landstalker

Yeah it was incredibly fun, and pretty damn hard too. Getting some of the timing and jumps down were really tricky. I remember first time entering the town of Mercator and being awed at its size (not to mention all the things you could do, remember the crypt riddles?) since the game before that consisted of tiny hut villages

Gunstar Heroes was just a blast to play, and pretty original to boot. It's more of a "cult," hit, at least in comparison to something like Contra III.

I've never played the Shining in Darkness, I actually got my start into RPG type games with Shining Force when I picked it up randomly at Blockbuster one friday night.

Ahh the Genesis classics...

 

[bundee1]

Can I get a WOOT for Double Dragon arcade and home version? Anyone remember ABOBO?

 

[mjg]

haha nice

i preferred
final fight though--- GEEE YEAH!!

(haggar)

 

[gshan]

going chronologically:

Wheel of Fortune (pc) - ran on an old, old, old, yellow text pc that my dad bought
Wolfenstein (original, pc) - eating dogfood for hp and killing keyboard only, oh yea!
Super Mario World (snes) - *cough* game genie pwnage

*cough*
Civilization I (pc) - building United Nations = you must make peace with me 100%

, then I surround you with tanks and nuke you afterwards
The Lost Vikings (pc) - puzzle solving + action
Ken Griffey Jr's Winning Run (snes) - great graphics for a snes game
Super Smash Brothers (n64) - still one of the best multiplayer/party games
Counterstrike (pc) 1.0+ - disappointed with 1.3+ however. CS:S is ok, but took getting used to.
Call of Duty (pc) - totally immersing ww2 combat
DiamondMine / Bejeweled 2 / Yahoo Pool, Yahoo Graffiti - simple can be fun

 

[gshan]

oh and yes final fight and double dragon and/or battletoads beat em up games rocked.

Arcade: Punisher & Nick Fury, Time Crisis II

 

[gshan]

Oh gosh, here's more I just thought of:

NES: Contra games
SNES: Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (or whatever it was called

)
