[Technology] What is your 1 favourite computer / console game?

[Uh_huh_him]

Star Wars on NES pure 8 bit platform heaven.

Brian Lara Cricket for PC -
After months of unsuccessfully trying to work out the best line and length using the top bowlers, I discovered that using Michael Atherton, bowling yorker length leg spin, was simply unplayable. I tried to resist the urge of using him, but as soon as the Aussies were getting on top of my bowling.... On would come Athers.

Ocarina in time - Nintendo64 - the game that made me realise, I just don't have time in my life for computer games.

I think I lost a whole Christmas once to Medieval Total War on the PC.....not bad considering I cooked the dinner and had to fit all the relatives and guests. That has to be my number 1.

Started off with the ZX spectrum, now on the VR stuff with an oculus rift which has totally reignited my interest in gaming.

Mario Kart

I was trying to work out which game I had played the most of in my life and it would indeed be Mario Kart followed by Streetfighter 2 both on Snes.

Fable II on the Xbox
GTA III
Red Dead Redemption on the Xbox 360
Currently devouring Farcry 4 one last time before Tuesday, then I'm sure Farcry 5 will be my new baby for a while

Replayed Far Cry 2 on the PS3 recently. Love how the fire spreads in that particular entry in the series. Got myself in some right old pickles because of it! Highly amusing.

I’ve got the app too! The beauty of that game originally was renaming all the kids and teachers after those at your school! Rarely loaded successful for me though.

The Wild Bunch and Booty were two spectrum favourites of mine along with the underrated transformers.

I've got The Wild Bunch on C64 - remade in the last few years.

PC: IL2 Sturmovik
Console: Battlefield 4

Football Manager, no question.

I has football manager on the BBC B home computer. What a wonderful game that was.

Football Manager, no question.

Any earlier management game where it was all stats and no fancy graphics were the best ones.

I had one in late 90's/early 00s, maybe Champ Mgr, and I liked it cos you got relegated and into financial difficulties. Some games I play nowadays (one on the PSP, I forget the name), it's impossible to finish in the bottom half.

Yep, the way they have made some games 'easier' to keep people interested.. I suppose that reflects the state of society, where it's all about instant gratification... nobody can be bothered to graft to achieve stuff these days.

Hearts of Iron 4 - On PC

 

[Munkfish]

On the NES

I absolutley loved Contra and Double Dragon, it would help both were co-op so me and my brother would play for days.

Also I had a Fifa game pre-licencing and no commentry, which I loved as I would do it all in my head, you could also block the goalkeepers dropkicks and leg it from the ref.

Current Generation, Ive enjoyed Sonic Mania, but I haven't really loved a game since Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Play the full version, and you will realise it is harder if anything. The mobile/handheld versions of the game are undoubtedly easier but mainly down to their simplicity/the need to streamline the game due to memory limitations.

Always had a soft spot for Lord of the Rings: Return of the King on the Gamecube

Bully also worth a memorable mention but would probably say that Bioshock is my favourite all time. Felt groundbreaking at the time, and after replaying it a couple of months ago (remastered edition), has really held up.
