Greatest game ever made?

I wonder what others think is the greatest game ever made ever.[/quote:177ee729ec]

it was entered into the Guiness World Book of Records as the biggest selling game ever and none made since have come close to breaking that record[/quote:177ee729ec]

If biggest sales = greatest game ever made, then we’d have had to limit choice to EA products :twisted: …but since SM3 is already stated the greatest, well… pointless replying to the thread, innit?!?

otherwise, mmm… gotta be Elite. Not that young’uns these days would have any clue as to why :wink:

Quake and MarioKart 64.

Ocarina of Time

Batman Forever

Super mario kart

every game in the series since has failed to capture its magic, mario kart ds has come closest so far.

Ocarina of time and goldeneye are timeless classics too

Street Fighter 2 championship edition

Rise of the Robots

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

good one!
that’s going to keep me laughing for the day

Ocarina of time

We’re only allowed one?

Hrm, Half-Life? Super Mario Bros 3? Any of the Zelda games bar Majoras Mask? Super Mario Kart?

ARGH, i can’t decide… :?

Hmmm hard one. Max Payne 2, or Final Fantasy 7. Never a big fan of either zelda or mario games….was always more of a sonic guy.

Max Payne 2??????????

Ok, to each there own……..but the game isn’t as good as the first in my opinion. Its way too short also!
The physics do rock in it though. I enjoyed it a lot, but I wouldn’t put it in my top 30 let alone no 1! But like I said, to each their own!! :D

Hrm, Max Payne/Max Payne2 would probably be in my Top 30 though. Theyre not my fave games but they were one of the most enjoyable series I’ve played in ages. Should be interesting to see what they do with the third game.

I dont know something about it just makes me play it over and over again. The only other game I’ve done that with is FarCry. I tried playing through Half Life 2 a second time but got bored half way through.

FarCry is a class game. Although I’m preferred the beginning levels before the mutant things were introduced. Lost some fun after that.
Sort of like the way Halo lost some of its appeal when the flood were introduced. I guess I just prefer my enemies to be somewhat more humanoid! ;)

Presonal gripe with the flood: The hundreds of small little feckers – you didnt have tohit them at all to make them explode :( I ended up seeing how far away from them I could aim and have it still count as a ‘hit’

Exactly Dave, they were just more annoying then challenging or fun.

Fry Cry has to be my favorite FPS, but I think Frontier : Elite 2 was a work of genius, I still play it today despite how aged it looks.

28K’s worth of williams defender – suspended disbelief with 2D scrolling hyperspaced smart bombed pixels – no plot, no backstory, no nuttin just instant mutant mirdering fun!

Rentless gameplay engagement that has never been surpassed. halo, MOH, half life, deux ex, max pyane, MGS, AOM, Quake, tomb raider, unreal, crash, System shock, doom, wolfensteen, mario, privateer – just feckin stories or cartoons with joysticks attached – not actually pure and proper games in the mould of tetris and defender.

there that should start it (-:

Quite simply Legend of Zelda a link to the past for the SNES.
Truly the greatest game ever made!

for me REZ… but halo 2 (LIVE), deus ex, shemue 2 sonic 2 and gunstar heroes are up there too… still hard question

Super Mario 3, Ocarina of Time, Mortal Kombat 2, Burnout 3, Quake and Quake 3, Age of Empires 2 and I can’t believe nobody has even mentioned the most popular spreadsheet of all time Football Manager.

Check out http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/bestworst.asp
for the average rating of games based on their review scores on different sites. Not a hint ( shockingly ) of Mario 3. His younger brother Mario 64 sits at number 3 while Zelda looks down on all apparently.

Since noone got my other answer I’ll give my proper one:

Legend of Zelda: A link To The Past.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. I loved that frickin game, really was at the cutting edge when it first came out on the PC.

Of recent times I’d have to say Burnout 3.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.[/quote:6c5172c03c]

My god how did I forget about this one. Brill game.

You might as well make a parent pick between the life of one of their children over the others.

Can’t be done….

emm toughie for me it would be a toss up between A link to the Past and Red Alert. Both pure quality but i’d probably have to go with Red Alert.

Freecell…never, ever, ever gets old. Unless you calculate the solution using maffematix, then you deserve not to have any more fun.

No brainer.

Well if you limit it to pure games, id have to say Gran Turismo on the original playstation. Just pure class and perfection. I’ve never spent so much time on a game before or since then. Those endurance races really spring to mind…

If i was going for a story driven game, than itd be Broken Sword just edging out MGS.

Knights of the Old Republic 1 or Half Life 1 in my humble opinion!

GoldenEye on the N64 or Zelda : A link to the PAst on SNES

I know goldeneye did it all first but N64 Perfect Dark did it better. If I was picking a zelda I would be torn between link to the past and ocarina, definitely replayed ocarina more.

But no, my favourite game of all time is probably Secret of Mana on the SNES

The greatest game ever, hmmm, it would have to be Wolfenstein 3D as it kicked off the whole FPS thing for the masses really, its an idea that was copied relentlessly now.

otherwise, mmm… gotta be Elite. Not that young’uns these days would have any clue as to why Wink[/quote:0005074719]

Elite – First game to use 3D graphics i think? Its one of those “trading” games anyhow.

Personally, i’d rate Splinter Cell as the greatest game ever, its the only game i’ve played where i’ve actually said “woaaaah!” out loud while playing. :lol:

Heh, in relation to Zelda comments…

Clicky! :D

Have to agree with wilted def. Red Alert, totally got into that with a serious amount of skirmishes

Command and Conquer: red alert, i loved playn multiplayer on that… ahhh good ol’ times

Best strategy ever for multiplayer: yea lets wait until we have our bases all set up and kill the computer off…, “HEY CHETER!@$ U SAID NO RUSH%#@%#@” hehe :roll:

ocarina of time is my fav by far, i love this game to bits. well after zelda there are a few games that have a feirce battle for 2nd spot!! SMB3 ,god of war, resi 4, FF9 and many more…..its such a difficult question to answer. kinda like someone asking which child you prefare. :lol:
