Toejam and Earl.

Sonic and Knuckles + Sonic 3.

Sam and Max, Day of the Tentacle, and Monkey Island.

All of the Legend of Zeldas, I don't pick favourites, though some I haven't had enough time to complete.

Mechwarrior. I really enjoyed Mechwarrior 2 and 3.

Diablo.

Dance Dance Revolution.

Castlevania 3 and Castlevania Circle of the Moon.

Smash Brothers.

Pokemon Crystal.

Knights of the Old Republic.

Prince of Persia SoT. (tried the original, had trouble with the controls)

Some of the Final Fantasy games and I'm not saying which to avoid a flamewar.

Super Mario 64 is my favorite game of all time. Yus. I just played the DS version last year, and if anything it was even more fun. Good lord but I adore that game.

MarioKart, 64 and Double Dash.

Super Smash Bros. Melee.

LittleBigPlanet.

Super Princess Peach.

Rock Band.

Robot Unicorn Attack.

Ecco the Dolphin.


I'm trying to remember anything else I've played with single-minded intensity. They probably exist, but that's all that's coming to mind just now.

It's been a while since I've had the time/system to game, but my faves are:

LoZ: Ocarina of Time (N64)

LoZ: Majora's Mask (N64)

Star Trek: Elite Force (PC) (Which manages a more realistic take on Voyager than the TV series did.)

Star Trek: The Fallen (PC) (Like being inside a DS9 episode. Pity there was no multiplayer.)

X-Wing Alliance (PC) (Still the standard by which I judge space sims.)

Jedi Academy (PC) (Easily the best "Jedi Simulator" ever made [Yes, that includes "The Gary-Stu Unleashed"]. The only thing it lacks is good JK-style auto-aim --it's clearly not made for non-Jedi players.)

Wouldn't mind checking out Republic Commando if my system could play it without exploding. A non-Jedi-centric Star Wars game; we haven't had one of those since the 90s. The fact that it's tied to my favourite Prequel-Era novels is just bonus.

It is brilliant. Single handedly made the N64 system a huge success. No small task considering the PS1 was already dominating the market, and no one really wanted cartridge based games.
Mario 64 is thee high watermark for both innovation, and Japanese game development.
Oh, and the fun factor hasn't been rivaled since.

Oh hey, Ecco the Dolphin. I forgot that one.

Should probably add Civilization, too.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I normally don't like Jedi myself.

But Kotor, while being Jedi centric and having an annoying unexpected class change a quarter of the way through, has some plot stuff later on that totally redeems it.

I would try to name some Atari and Colecovision titles - not to try to show everyone how cool my gaming leetness is and how OG I am, but because I sincerely had some major favorites - but I can't remember any titles off hand!

So, I'll stick with my most favorite PC titles:

Dark Forces
Descent
Descent Freespace
Mechwarrior 2
Knights of the Old Republic
Everquest
Everquest II

And that's about it.
