Best Game You Ever Bought?

[mrdeposit]

I have to say the best game I ever bought has to be final fantasy 10. I love that game, the mini game inside it kept me from beating the game. lol

So whats the best game you ever bought?

[My Name Was Taken]

A lot of the FPS games today are really derivative, so there's not a lot of improvement with each new wave of FPS games. For my money, Halo 3 was leaps and bounds ahead of anything that came before it for online multi-player. There have been better games since probably, but that was the first great one for me.

But as for what's the best game? I would have to say Super Smash Brothers for N64. Hands down the most fun I have had playing video games. Me and my brother would play that for hours at a time.

Final Fantasy 1, on release day. I had to nag the shit out of my parents for it. I spent the better part of a year with my friend trying to figure it out. No internet, nothing but rumours from class mates and the occasional Nintendo Power or EGM.

Dragon warrior 1 was a close second. We didn't beat both until years later.

Probably Minecraft a couple of years ago. Spent way too long playing that. As for Final Fantasy, I liked the older ones better.

Off topic, but man, those were the days.  I remember the fun trying to solve a level by talking with your friends.  No instant google soup like today.

Best game I ever bought would be Legend of Zelda for the NES. I was around 10 at the time and I remember saving up my allowance for weeks. I did lots of odd jobs around the house and for my parents friends as well.  Fisrt game I ever was able to save for and by outright with my own money.  Was a big accomplishment at that age.

Still to this day one of the best games ever produced.  I still play it from time to time on my Nintendo emulator for the PC.  Been trying to finish it for a long time again on the PC but the emulator keeps losing my game progress. They seem to be really finicky with these types of games that require you to push and hold the reset button while you turn it off.

Same thing always happens with Dragon Warrior, which I am still to ever finish.

Nintendo Power was great as a kid.  I remember waiting for the new one to hit stores so I could run out and buy it, ended up subscribing to it for years. 

I remember calling the Nintendo Hotline a few times as well for certain games growing up.

Yeah, we were definitely forced to think as kids to beat the games.  I remember being stuck for ages on certain games.  Beating games back then without cheats and minimal help sure was a lot more satisfying.

There are so many good games out there. I myself played so many... I need to differentiate between the best game and the game I spent most time on. I spent most of my time with Battlefield 3 and other various multiplayer games. But I think that truly amazing experience are old school single player games like Fallout series or Resident Evil...

[RappelzReborn]

CS:GO  for sure , never get enough from that game 

[mortare]

For me its 100% super mario bros 1 for the NES. Best game ever !

[My Name Was Taken]

Did anyone ever play Command & Conquer: Red Alert for the computer? It was real time strategy game set in WWII, except the Russians had chrono-technology so you were basically re-fighting WWII as the Allies to keep the Russians from taking over Europe.

That's my all-time favorite computer game.

Aaaaand, I just learned it's now free-ware and available for download. Excuse me while I revisit my childhood for the next several days...

If I had to pick.... It comes down to....

Zelda is in my top 5, I'm probably the same age as you and it was slightly too advanced for me when it came out, again beat it years later with cheating. I remember having pages and pages of hand drawn maps and passwords for different games. Faxanadu was another great one. The games back then had little guidance about what to do, mostly because of lack of storage capacity, but it forced one to spend weeks wandering around stuck.

In dragon warrior 1, we finally found Edricks armour, once we had BBS  access when I was about 14-15. That took about 5 years to find.

FF1, Dragon warrior, Faxanadu, Zelda, Megaman 2.

I beat FF1 last year over the holidays in a few hours with a game genie emulator. Going back with an emulator does ruin a lot of my memories. From the perspective of a child and 25 years, they seemed so much more advanced and indepth than they really are.

I never really bought any games, since my cousin had everything lol.

I say play as many as you can by going to friends house.

I had that running on my 486 slc 25mhz, good game. We spent lots of time taking over the schools lan to play it.

This was the first time I had ever seen an NES game. It literally blew my mind and I spent the next 15 years immersed in all things gaming and game programming.
