The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
right here is your chance to say which game is with out doubt the best ever made.
For me there are a great deal to choose from,being a gamer since way back when we had the spectrum/Amiga and the beloved c64.
Now the list may be long but having playied games way back then for many years, being know as a nerd by school mates cause back then computers were the nerd tools.
Then after school had finnished along came college and back in the early eight's I left computers behind and got myself a life. :)
Three years ago I forked out over £1000 for a top range Pc 850Mhz processor the works, my eye's lit up when I started playing Half-life. My god I said to myself thing's have moved on since the c64 and spectrum days.
This is like being in a movie and for hours on end I would play half-life determined to go that little bit further or suck trying to get throught the maze packed with Voltigores I didn't get much sleep then I can tell you.
Now I have been ranting on about half-life but that is not the greatest game in my opinon oh no.
Half-life is by modern standards a work of art every game produced thease day's is compared to half-life and rated accordingly, we would not have tfc or Counter-Strike if it had not been for half-life.
For shear out right addiction and play-abillity a game which I spent hour upon hour playing and if I dug it out the cupboard and set it up I would spend more hours playing it, the game Manic Miner.
The grand daddy of computer games it had it all shear playing power once u mastered a level the nexted was even more challenging and just as u got to that level u would lose the timing u mastered for the level before.
Now this is my opion u may think I am wrong but forget the fact the graphics are outdated this is not the point, the lasting playabillity of a game is what matter's.
This surley was the most played game ever!!!

Many games have made me think "Woah, this is the best game ever!"
Metal Gear Solid
Zelda: Ocarina of time
Final Fantasy 7 & 8
Tony Hawks pro Skater 3
GTA3
no doubt I'll get the same feeling from MGS2 and FFX, however I think that looking back after the hysteria that each of these games presented me with, the most sustained enjoyment I've recieved from a game and therefore my choice for my personal favourite game ever falls to... non other than:
SECRET OF MANA!!!!

Definately FF7, that was a definitive gaming moment.

Maybe a little work on spelling there and it's all good! Oh and mine would have to be FF7. It would be FF9 but that's not out on PC yet...
Don't be hard on newbies! You were one once!
Anyway, this topic seems very similar to one in the Dreamcast forum by Dark Mark
