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

[MJsGhost]

Cannon Fodder - Amiga 600

Yes!

Trying to get Jops & (/or) Jools as far into the game as possible. Was in Stu/Stoo in next?

 

[Rowdey]

This, on Super Nintendo.

I don't want to hear the Nintendo 64 version was better!

Mario Karts on SNES
Daytona in West Street Arcade's (we're talking all video games here right ?)
TransAm on Spectrum 128k

 

[Wiggy Power]

Do you mean ISS? Pro Evo was never released on the N64, but Konami made football games for the console under the International Superstar Soccer name.

Yep your right, it was ISS. It was the one with historical scenarios, where you could be 2-0 down with England at HT and needed to win the game etc etc.

Games that had a profound impact on me and the man I am today.

Sonic 2 - Mega Drive
Goldeneye - N64
WWF Attitude - Playstation
GTA Vice City - PS2 - this was the absolute bad boy - best game of all time bar none
Football Manager (not sure which year) - PC
Hitman Contracts - Xbox 360
Red Dead Redemption - PS3

Still waiting for a game to properly immerse me on PS4. I get FIFA religiously every year and love it but it's never had the same effect as the games listed above. GTA 5 on PS4 is genius, but the last game to truly pull me in was probably Red Dead. Very much looking forward to the release of the new one in the Autumn. First proper effort from Rockstar games on an 8th gen console (I think?), they rarely let me down.

Any "My Top Games Are:" list would not be complete without this.

I played it when I was about 14. 35 hours straight at one point and my mum was mightily pissed off with me haha

I remember renting it from Video Box when I was younger and spent nearly 20 hours playing with the PS on the whole time as I had no memory card back then. Went to get some food and my mum had unplugged the PS to hoover

 

[Coach_Carter_92]

Pokemon, still get that nostalgic buzz when new versions are released

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

For nostalgia reasons - Track and field on the PS1. I worked out a truly wonderful technique for this (not, not the sock one) and would destroy all contenders. Plug in the multi-tap and let the 4 player fund begin.

And probably my fave of all time. Guitar hero. This came out when I was at uni and my housemate also got a guitar so we formed 'a band'. A few drinks, turn the volume up and, for a moment, genuinely believe you two are doing the guitar solo finale to Hotel California.

Brilliant.

 

[DavidRyder]

I remember playing Track & Field (or similar) on the C64 with my mate regularly. Serious arm ache after bashing the hell out of the joystick left to right to get speed up!

 

[The Oldman]

Not sure if it is a game but I spend hours on FSX. Fly anywhere in the world but never have the airport hassle.

ISS 98 - was a great game! Beaten in terms of gameplay by Fifa 99 not long after but the ISS series was fun.

 

[Wiggy Power]

If you thinks that good, you should see me count toothpicks.

I was a ISS/Pro Evo man up until Fifa 10, then I switched and never went back. FIFA are untouchable now with all the naming rights etc etc ........

There is no way I can choose just one, so here is my top 30:

Pole Position - Atari
Football Manager - Spectrum 128k
Spy v Spy - Spectrum 128k
Kick-Off 2 - Amiga 600
Lemmings - Amiga 600
Cannon Fodder - Amiga 600
Speedball - Amiga 600

Some crackers on your list but these stand out as good memories albeit it being on different platforms.

I'll throw in :

Into The Eagles Nest
Operation Jupiter
Operation Wolf ( on 8 floppy discs ! )
Boulderdash

 

[DavidRyder]

That game was a joystick wrecker!

Even more so when frustration got the better of us after losing, and we'd try and defy physics by putting all our weight on it and trying to turn the handle 180 degrees! This was my implement of choice - they could withstand a good lot of frustration!

Zelda : ocarina of time n64
elite: spectrum .... tried elite dangerous but gave up after a couple of hours
The last of us
limbo
currently playing horizon zero dawn didn't think id like it that much but its great

I own Elite Dangerous on the Xbox One but have never found a spare month to get up to speed.

I adored Elite on the BBC B, and the concept of Elite Dangerous is amazing - a fully realised Universe where you can visit any star out there, and make your own journey is amazing, but I've just not had the time.

I used to love Doom on the PC, and I've played the new version, but I got bored quickly.

FIFA on most platforms (I have it on PS1, 2, 3, Xbox one and PS4 now in different versions).

My son is seriously into gaming and recently got a PS4 for his birthday (he paid for it and the family got him the games) and he's been playing Uncharted and Horizon Zero Dawn.

Commodore 64: Chase HQ

Wow - widely considered as a terrible arcade conversion which runs far too slowly.
