Favorite game for each platform.

[Andrea Rovenski]

I few that I remember.
PC- Doom (Didn't see that'n comin'?? Didja?)

NES- Duckhunt
SNES- Super Mario World
N64- Ocarina of Time
Gameboy - Pokemon Red
Gameboy Color - Pokemon Gold
Gameboy Advance - Pokemon Firered/ Mario and Luigi: Superstar saga
DS - Pokemon Heartgold.

Playstation - ARGH! Too hard! I guess.. Rayman, and Spyro.
Playstation2 - Either Timesplitters: Future Perfect or GTA: Vice City
Playstation3- N/A

Xbox- Doom 3
Xbox360 - Halo 3, Dead Rising, or Halo Wars.

Did I miss anything?

So....you?!

[Jodwin]

Why not...

PC: Ugh, this should be split into parts somehow, including everything from the 80s 'till 00s is like deciding the top one from all Nintendo consoles. Still, guess I'll have to go with Doom because it's the one I've played the most.

NES: A tough one, a lot of good ones but I'll have to go with Megaman 2.
SNES: Link to the Past.
GB: Link's Awakening.
DS: Uhh...an other tough one. I haven't played that many DS games but almost all of them had been really good. It's looking like a tie between Etrian Odyssey, FF Tactics A2, Disgaea DS and Castlevania: PoR...I think I'll go with Etrian Odyssey this time.

[kristus]

PC: Fuck if I know. To pick just one, lets go with Quake 3/Live.
NES: Castlevania
AtariST: maybe Flood
PSx: Driver or Gran Tourismo
PS2: Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and/or God of war 2

[Craigs]

My favorite game for the original Xbox was probably Halo
Xbox360: Modern Warfare 2
I don't really play games on the PC since it is stupid when you have a 360 but there's one called Bejeweled that I really like.

[Bank]

I notice Genesis isn't on here, I'd say either Earthworm Jim or the first Sonic game.

I say the same thing, but in reverse. At least at the time that I had an Xbox 360 in my household.

[Alfonzo]

I'm the stingy bastard who waits 2 or 3 generations down the line before picking up my own version of the "what's new" platformer. The result is a rather selective branch of latecomers to the has been generation, and £40 extra to spend on Danish pastries and low buget blockbusters.
Kiiia!

PC: Doom, yes yes. Or Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, Captain Claw... I don't know. They're not so much games I preffer but games I can actually remember having been played.

NES: n/a
SNES: Yoshi's Island probably! Followed by Super Mario Kart.
N64: Mario Golf, heh. Or Tennis. Diddy Kong racing maybe.
Gameboy: Super Mario Land 3: Warrio something-or-other.
Gameboy Colour: Carry over.
Gameboy Advance: Metroid something-or-other.
DS: n/a

Playstation: CTR: Crash Team Racing
Playstation 2: Bit Mix'n'match there. GTA: Vice City if anything.
Playstation 3: n/a

XBox: Baldur's Gate perhap?
XBox 360: n/a

...Ya know, I understand nobody put a gun to my head or anything, but I really do feel as though it must be mentioned. Board games. I love board games. And Charades! I love that too! ...wait. That was my cue to leave?

[Phml]

PC : Planescape Torment

NES : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
SNES : Donkey Kong Country 2
N64 : Mario 64
Gamecube : Timesplitters 2
Wii : Rayman Raving Rabbids

Sega Saturn : Mystaria

Playstation : Tekken 3
Playstation 2 : SSX

To be fair, outside of DKC2, Timesplitters 2 and maybe Mystaria, none of the console games would even make my top10 games list.

[Mattfrie1]

I can't pick just one, so I narrowed it down to some of my standout games on each console I own.

SNES: Donkey Kong Country, Super Castlevania IV, Mortal Kombat II
N64: Donkey Kong 64, Mario Kart 64, WWF Wrestlemania 2000

[Mithral_Demon]

GameCube- Mario Kart: Double Dash!! , Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess

[Snakes]

Oh hell... Let's see:

NES: Super Mario Bros.
SNES: Super Mario Kart... I remember really loving a game called Uniracers, but I can't find it anywhere.
N64: My favorite system by far. Mario 64, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (I really can not pick)
Gamecube: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Wii: Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Brothers Brawl are both fantastic
Gameboy: Pokemon Red

Playstation: Final Fantasy VIII
PS2: Hm... Devil May Cry

Genesis/Master Drive: Sonic the Hedgehog 3/Sonic & Knuckles (y'know, stacked)

PC: Doom, with periods of various Star Wars games (KOTR), and Rome: Total War

I think that covers everything I've owned in my day. Systems I haven't/won't own

BioShock... Um, that's the only one I think I've really liked. L4D was mild fun.

[GreyGhost]

PC: Doom or Might & Magic
Commodore 64: Elite or Gunship
Amiga (entry level): PowerMonger or Harpoon
Amiga (mid-high end): Frontier: Elite II

[bytor]

[DoomUK]

N64 - GoldenEye

One of the extremely few FPSs in history which flies in the face of this long-standing "PC is superior platform for such games, no arguments" snobbery. Along with the Playstation port of Doom/Doom II.

Not that I disagree with the statement as such. But Goldeneye was so great, that I couldn't of cared less at the time whether I was using an ultimately inferior man-machine interface with which I navigated a digitised Pierce Brosnan.

[Megalyth]

It's always difficult to pick absolute favorites, and some of these are by a hair's breadth. I'll try to narrow it down as much as possible, at least.

PC - Doom (not specifically Doom1, just Doom in general), Sam & Max Hit the Road, Stepmania
NES - Super Mario Brothers 3
SNES - Demon's Crest
N64 - Doom 64
Gamecube - Sonic Heroes
Wii - Muramasa The Demon Blade, No More Heroes
Genesis - Ranger X, Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Sega CD - Puggsy, Sonic CD
Saturn - Nights into Dreams
Dreamcast - Bangai-O, Sonic Adventure
PS1 - Castlevania SotN, MDK
PS2 - Odin Sphere, Okami, Shadow of the Colossus
Xbox 360 - Dead Space, Gears of War series

inb4 massive list of every good game known to man

Edit - I also enjoy chess, othello, and Magic the Gathering as far as board/table-top games go.

Edit 2 - I forgot Commander Keen!

[exp(x)]

PC: Deus Ex
NES: Duck Hunt
SNES: Donkey Kong Country 3
N64: Diddy Kong Racing
Wii: Mario Galaxy

[E.J.]

No point in putting in multiple entries for each. If I had a toss up on a game, I made myself decide...

NES -> Bionic Commando
Nintendo GameBoy -> The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Sega Genesis -> Contra: Hard Corps
Sega 32X -> Doom
Sega Cd -> Sonic Cd
SNES -> Final Fantasy III (VI in Japan)
Sega Saturn -> Panzer Dragoon Series
Sony Playstation -> Metal Gear Solid
Nintendo 64 -> The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Sony Playstation 2 -> Final Fantasy XII
Nintendo GameBoy Advance -> Metroid Fusion
Microsoft Xbox -> Morrowind: GOTY Edition
Nintendo Gamecube -> Resident Evil 4
PC DOS -> Doom Series
PC Windows -> Fallout 3

I actually had a hard time picking between the Elder Scrolls series, and the now Bethesda led Fallout series. Both have a construction kit. So even if you burn out on the vanilla games, you can go back later, and mod the hell out of them.

[Bucket]

I suppose I could come up with a few.

Atari 2600 - Warlords
Commodore 64 - Cosmic Relief
NES - Double Dragon 2
Gameboy - Final Fantasy Adventure
Genesis - Race Drivin'
Turbo Grafx 16 - It Came from the Desert
DOS PC - Doom
SNES - Super Mario Kart
PS1 - Final Fantasy 9
N64 - Bomberman 64
Gameboy Advance - Mario Kart Advance
Windows PC - Half Life + mods
PS2 - Shadow of the Colossus
PS3 - MAG

It's difficult picking 1 favorite PC game since it's been a constant platform for 20 years.

[Shaikoten]

Only going to rank things I've played extensively here for obvious reasons.

PC: Civilization 4 (System Shock 2, Doom as runners up)

NES: Contra (Excite Bike/TMNT2 as runners up)
SNES: Super Mario World (So many runners up it's not fair, but SMW is pretty much the best)
N64: Starfox 64
Gamecube: Timesplitters 2
Wii: SSBB

Gameboy: Pokemon
GBA: Tales of Phantasia

PS1: THPS2
PS2: Serious Sam (the console version was awesome and arcadey)

NeoGeo: Metal Slug X

I could go on, but that's enough for now.

Yeah the first sonic game was the only good one in my opinion. As for my platform preferences, here they are.

pc-Blood then Doom then Duke Nukem
xbox-Half Life 2
xbox 360-The Orange Box
nes-Castlevania 3
genesis-Sonic I would suppose (never had many genesis games.)
n64-007 Goldeneye then Doom 64 then Zelda Ocarina of time
Game cube- The Legend of zelda the wind waker
Game Boy Advance-Pokemon Emerald
Nintendo DS- Pokemon Soul Silver (got to play something non-violent sometimes.) and then MOON

[Mr. T]

PC: CS(not source) still does it for me man
SNES: Contra3, super mario (the latter is too easy to get 100% on once u have blue yoshi but whatever)

N64: Perfect Dark, it took everything that was good about GE and wrapped it in a game that is really fucking hard. SWEET

PS2: MGS2 what a blast. San Andreas too, that game is too epic for words. The San Fierro segment was boring but the missions in the desert are some of the most fun I've ever had playing a game, kick ass yo

[Clonehunter]

NES: N/A
SNES: Primal Rage or this one Batman game, the one with the Penguin and cat girl in it.
N64: Star Wars Episode 1 Racer (Only game N64 game I ever really played)

PSX: Warpath Jurassic Park
PS2: The Godfather
PS3: CoD: World at War

Xbox: Blinx or something like that
Xbox 360: Soul Caliber IV

PC: Doom, Doom 3, Age of Empires 2, or Jurassic Park Operation Genesis

Wii: Also CoD: World at War, or this rather fun (But frustrating) Firefighters game called Firefighter

EDIT: Forgot the handhelds!

PSP: Star Wars Elite Squadrons
Nintendo DS: Drawn to Life (Only NDS game I've played)
Gameboy Advanced: Not sure, but I kinda enjoyed Star Wars Flight of the Falcon

And... missed one.

Sega Dreamcast -> Shenmue 1

[Sharessa]

I've logged about 100x more hours on PC than probably all other consoles combined, so this will be difficult.

NES - Super Mario Bros. 2, probably
SNES - Final Fantasy 6
N64 - Goldeneye
GC - Super Smash Bros. or Eternal Darkness
GB - Kirby's Pinball
GBA - Final Fantasy Tactics
DS - Chrono Trigger (a close second for my favorite SNES game...I was glad when it came out on DS :P)

PSX - Suikoden

DC - Crazy Taxi

C64 - Choplifter
PC - Civilization? Baldur's Gate 2? Planescape: Torment? Fallout? Deus Ex? Rome: Total War? Dwarf Fortress? Quake 2? Doom? ARGH, too many to decide, damnit.

I haven't really played much of any other systems.
