I missed the PS1-PS2 era

[Nick Parker 3,040]

I think it'd be more interesting for certain among us that might be inclined to participate if we put a certain limit on maybe certain series or systems. 

 

For myself I'm gonna give myself the challenge of choosing non-Nintendo (developed) titles, one game in a series per time division if applicable, and sticking as close to the turn of the century as possible for the older list.

 

Pre November 2005:

 

Silent Hill 2 (PS2)

Killer 7 (GAMECUBE)

Katamari Damacy (PS2)

YU-NO (PC) 

Shenmue 2 (XBOX)

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne (PS2)

Thunder Force IV

(GENESIS/MEGADRIVE)

Ninja Gaiden (XBOX)

Resident Evil  4 (GAMECUBE)

Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS2)

 

Runner ups include games such as the first Halo, Grim Fandango, and Monkey Island 2. I had to cut a _lot_ of games I love.

 

Post November 2005:

 

Metal Gear Solid V (PS4)

Red Dead Redemption (XBOX 360)

Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4)

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (3DS)

Bayonetta (XBOX 360)

Resident Evil 7 (PS4)

Deus Ex: Human Revolution (XBOX 360)

 

...

Holllllyy crap, I'm having a _real_ hard time filling this list out.

 

Uh...

 

Damn, I think that's all I got for now. I'll see wha'ch'all come up with.

 

 

 

 

 

[Bespin 8,480]

The Colecovison was the best console I had. I once « burned » a cassette that went unplayable, by letting it in the console opened all the night... My god, I was so upset!

 

My first console was a LeisureVision, that was quite limited. I also had an Atari, that was the most popular console I think.  

 

I remember on the ColecoVision, when we played with the first game that was « talking », I mean mocking the human voice for saying only one or two words... that was like: WOUAAAHH! We could not believe it, for us it really was the furure!

It was amazing how it recreated the scenes where Luke scaled the outside of the sand crawler, killed hundreds of jawas and then slayed a massive fire-breathing lava monster inside. Just like the movie!

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

More exciting than the movie.

Apparently don't listen to me 'cause no one feels this way, but as someone who thought the first one was decent, and the second one sucked, this really is one of my favorite video games ever.

What I hated was if you made a platforming mistake you usually wouldn't die, you'd land somewhere the way hell back earlier in the level!

 

The closest thing it comes to as a recreation is the Star Wars Disenchantment thread.

Have you played the original? They’re all fantastic games. The remastered collection is really cheap for PS4.

It's shocking that _you_ would do so. Completely out of left field.

Well shucks, now I feel bad for not liking Infinite. Like I said in the other thread, it's a great game, but I wasn't happy with the plot direction.

 

I highly recommend playing it, as well as the first, though.

My videogame experience will be very different from all of you here (and obviously reflecting my age a bit), so I can't contribute anything whatsoever to the "post" part of this query, only "pre".

 

I was never into dedicated game consoles. A friend of mine was into Nintendo and Super Nintendo back in the early to mid 90s, so I played (but mostly watched) as he played classics like Street Fighter 1 and 2, Zelda, Castlevania, F-Zero and so on.

 

But my experience beyond that is almost exclusively with PC games. I remember the days of Commodore 64, Atari and later on Amiga well, although -- again -- I mostly watched others play, didn't do much myself.

 

When my dad got an up-to-date computer in the early 90s, I started to play a bit more myself. Often with my dad -- we both shared a love for classic point-and-click adventure games. Basically everything from Lucasarts and Sierra. Sometimes on expensive CD-ROMs, other times from floppy discs, depening on how new the game was. There was also stuff like WING COMMANDER (2 and 3), BIOFORGE, MAGIC CARPET, LITTLE BIG ADVENTURE, MYST, RIVEN, DARK FORCES, ALONE IN THE DARK etc. etc. One that I played the most was Championship Manager; in one iteration of this I played, like, 150 seasons!

 

After the millennium turnover, I didn't play much. Occasionally some FIFA untill the late 2000s, that's about it. But then it was sorta ressurected a bit quite recently when Telltale relaunched the point-and-click adventure games for retro kids like us -- things like the WALKING DEAD, GAME OF THRONES, BACK TO THE FUTURE; SAM & MAX and JURASSIC PARK.

 

Making a list of top 10 videogames is difficult for me. All I know is that THE DIG from Lucasarts is my alltime favourite game. So I'm better off just listing some top favourites:

 

From Lucasarts: THE DIG, the MONKEY ISLAND series, FULL THROTTLE, INDIANA JONES AND THE FATE OF ATLANTIS, DAY OF THE TENTACLE, MANIAC MANSION, GRIM FANDANGO

From Sierra: The GABRIEL KNIGHT series, the PHANTASMAGORIA series (yes, most of these are after games like the King's, Space and Police Quests, or Larry)

Others: CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER, FIFA, WING COMMANDER (2 and 3), BLADE RUNNER

 

Tons more, of course, but I've already rattled on for far too long...

 

[mstrox 6,650]

I think setting the line between PS2 and PS3 is interesting, because certainly PS2 games share more DNA with PS3 than with, say, NES.  My "eras" division would probably fall in front of 64 bit (between PS1 and N64).

 

Nevertheless:

 

Culled from NES, N64, PS2, Gamecube, Wii (systems I had in the pre-HD era)

 

Super Mario Bros 3

Maniac Mansion

Bubble Bobble

TMNT2 The Arcade Game

 

Goldeneye 007

Majora's Mask

Ocarina of Time

Mario Kart 64

Super Mario 64

GTA Vice City

 

 

Culled from PS3 and Wii-U (later systems I had - this is technically all the games I've played for these systems that I've felt were worth mentioning.  Rent/mortgage/parenting have made new video games rarely a purchase for me).

 

Arkham Asylum

Arkham City

Arkham Origins

Okami

Gta4

Last of Us

Breath of the Wild

Honorable mentions to the LEGO games (especially the ones with large overworlds like LEGO Lord of the Rings)

 

 

 

Handheld bonus round

 

SML

Tetris

SML2

LOZ Link’s Awakening

SML3 Wario Land

LOZ Phanrom Hourglass
