I'd like to start the discussion about what people reckon are the greatest games of all time in various styles. The ones i can think of at the moment are:-

1. Beat 'em ups
2. First person shooters
3. Platformers
4. RPG's
5. Sport
6. Puzzle
7. Point and click

If you can think of any more types of games feel free to add to the list.

Well anyway here are my favourite games for each style.

1. Street Fighter {all of em, there's too many to single one out}
2. Goldeneye
3. Mario 64
4. Zelda 64
5. Speedball 2
6. Tetris on Gameboy
7. Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis

Please add your list of favourite games below!

Gran Turismo (and GT2)are definately my favourite games. They completely changed the goalposts for other developers which most are still trying to catch up with. (Colin McRae 2 is only just catching up with GT2's Rally mode)
Rare have done similar things for the Nintendo machines. I think that Goldeneye is a great game because that too was so much more than people were used to. Likewise, by the time other people are catching up with the quality of Goldeneye Rare are going to be releasing Perfect Dark and once again moving the goalposts. They have also done similar things for games like Donkey Kong on the snes although I am not such a big platformer fan.
My favourite games are:
Final Fantasy7 and FF8,
Metal Gear Solid (too short though)
Goldeneye
Broken Sword 2 (an excellent game!)
Zelda 64 and Zelda 3 (snes)
and Gran Turismo
I am definately looking forward to the next generation consoles because there is so much potential for making both good sequels and new, innovative games. After all, just look at the Playstation's launch line-up compared to todays games - it was absolute rubbish.
The N64 is similar (except Mario 64)as there are lots of good games starting to come out now like Perfect Dark. If this also applies to the Dreamcast then just imagine what games there are set to come in its future generations of games, especially after games such as Shenmue and Crazy Taxi. I can't wait to get a new console. I'm just not sure which one to get, there are so many promising ones to choose from!
