PS1/PS2/PS3/Xbox/Xbox 360: None, as I do not care for these consoles.

[Macro11_1]

Hmm, ok... lets see...
PC -- Might and Magic 6 or 7, I just enjoy it so much... nostalgia be damned.

Nes -- Fantasy Zone, because I used to own that game and it gave me my love of shmups today.

Sega -- So many good games, to be honest it would have to be Beyond Oasis, the story of Thor... I want to play the Sega Saturn sequel so badly!! It was this game or Blaster Master 2.

Snes -- Hm, honestly, I grew up with a sega... so this system I don't remember playing very much of even though I downloaded alot of roms... though Secret of evermore seems to stick out in my mind as the best thing I ever played on it.(it was awesome)

N64 -- Oh boy, Perfect Dark? No... I really loved Ogre Battle 64, I loved that game even more when I played it on an emulator with frame skip enabled. :P

Playstation -- Final Fantasy Tactics, the game may be easy... but leveling all the different characters was just so much fun, and despite its translation flaws, I loved the story line and dialogue :P

Game Cube -- Oh man, honestly this system had SO MANY GOOD GAMES too! (as you can tell I grew up with this system and I am also a bit biased towards Nintendo products.) But to narrow it down to two games, it would have to be a tie between Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Requiem... and F-Zero GX(the prime series being a close third)

Wii -- Honestly, at the moment it would have to be Super Mario Galaxy, hands down. I can't think of any other game that I have played and enjoyed nearly as much so far (still have yet to play the sequil though...and there are other games like Metroid other M i'm looking forward to)

Card Game -- I really enjoy Magic The Gathering : Planechase MTG : Archenemy.
Board Game -- Hero Quest, yes... awesome... planing on making my own custom version of this.

Good thread, it was like a trip down memory lane for me.

[deathbringer]

PC: Doom/2

Playstation: Colony Wars (though i played heaps of Doom and GTA on it too Colony wars was more exclusive). Or maybe FF7. Or Runabout 2.

Playstation 2: Vice City

Xbox 360: Only ever played GTA 4 on it, and got bored to death after 2 missions.

Game Boy: Asteroids. or maybe James Bond... but i could never beat it.

GBA: Er... Doom.

PSP: Liberty City Stories, i have other games for it but only really ever play that!

Megadrive: Oooh... Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Or maybe Zero Tolerance. Used to play the ass off Virtua Racing too. And there's probably others i've forgotten.

SNES: FF6. Also Starwing was great.

N64: Goldeneye. Or Lylat wars.

Master System: Terminator.

NES: Er... Final Fantasy 3? All half an hour or so i played of it.

BBC: The Repton series, or Citadel. Or Galaga.

Hmm, i'm indecisive, and i hardly ever play any videogames now except Doom. And i've probably forgotten my actual favourites when i did play these things. Oh and also i didn't own some of those consoles just played them around my friend's or with an emulator.

[Shaikoten]

+1 for James Bond for Gameboy. Great game, although relatively unknown. Also something inside me wants to change my answer for PS1 to Tekken 3.

[E.J.]

I wouldn't consider the category of "PC" to be good for the entire history of IBM compatibles.

At the very least I would subdivide it into these 2 categories:

PC DOS
PC Windows

Or even 3:

PC DOS/MDOS
PC Windows 9X
PC Windows NT


And where's the Apple/Mac love...?

I didn't have one, but a few people I knew did.

[Jodwin]

E.J. said:

And where's the Apple/Mac love...?

Since when do they deserve love? :P


If I were to split PC into parts, I'd probably say
DOS: Doom
9x-era: Age of Empires 2
2001-2005: There's a couple of good ones here, but really nothing that stands above the rest. I'll say Morrowind for now.
2006-2010: Trine

Also, arcade: Melty Blood Actress Again

I'll go with the ones I played the most, as having a definitive favourite is quite difficult:

PC - Doom II

Nintendo
SNES - Donkey Kong Country 2
N64 - Mario Kart 64
GameCube - Soul Calibur 2
Wii - Wii Sports
Gameboy(pocket/colour) - Pokemon Red

Sony
PS2 - Midnight Club 2
PS3 - CoD: Modern Warfare 2

Microsoft
XBox 360 - Guitar Hero: World Tour

Though if we were to rack up total hours played for each game series across all systems the top 10 would probably look something like (in a rough approximation of order):

Doom
Need For Speed
Guitar Hero
SOCOM: US Navy Seals
Call of Duty
Midnight Club
Mario
Grand Theft Auto
Donkey Kong
TimeSplitters
