What's your favorite video game?
 

I just read an article where a bunch of older games were shown to kids to get their reaction. (article here: http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager....mp;cId=3137498 )

First, it made me feel my age (in a big way), but it also made me wonder why we get attached to certain games and what others might think of them. So, just for fun, I figured I'd start a thread about what games hold some special meaning or nostalgia for us.

I've been a video junkie for ages, but I'd have to say my all-time favorite game is Robotron. Williams Electronics had a team that was truly inspired and they consistently made games that were fun to play. For me, Robotron was the best -- it was fun, addictive, and it flat-out kicked your ass. Every time you plunked in a quarter you knew you were in for a serious butt-whooping, but it was still fun. Whenever anyone asks me if classic games were any good I always point them at the insanity that is Robotron :P

Pac-Man.

Who can resist a yellow gawking dot that eats dots and fruit and gets chased by ghosts?

Contra!!!!

Secret of Mana

Dillon is a warez user... you can tell.






They're making fun of EQ, YOU CAN TELL!

All I gotta say is.. Theres an EQ2 Poster in the background of the group picture at the top of the article =D

PC(/Amiga) game: UFO, or X-COM, Defense of Earth, for the combat strategy (thinking of re-installing the PC version right now).

Pac-man ruled :D

Anyone know if there's ever been a "pvp" pac-man made? Ie, somebody controls Pac-Man and 1 to 3 of you control the ghosts? That'd be kinda cool

There was a girl in the first kids interview that was at my school. It's weird how they get to be on CNN News next year on tv. guess they're lucky.

I like the Halo2

old school= pac man

Pac Man was definitly alot of fun.

Present day... WoW/EQ2 or Halo2.
