Best Video Games Of All Time

BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS
High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com
i've been having heated arguements with my buddies, almost to the point of throwing blows, about what the TOP 5 video games are of all time.

so, in no specific order whatsoever.........

1. Mike Tyson's Punchout (Nintendo)-How can you possibly beat this game?

2. TecmoBowl (Nintendo)-being L.T., you can go hunt down the QB, then if he gets a pass off, go intercept it all the way downfield, then take it to the house for a TD

3. FIFA World Cup '98 (N64)-best play of any sports game ever.

4. James Bond: Goldeneye (N64)-real life view with a rocket-launcher in your hand going after 3 of your buddies? priceless.

5. Tony Hawk 4 (Playstation) just plain AWESOME once you get good at it. in fact, no whenever i go anywhere, i think to myself "i could grind that rail, manuel over to the stairs....."

as you can see, i'm biased with the old school Nintendo, cuz that's what i grew up on. even if you guys don't agree with me, it still is the best system ever

so, what are YOUR TOP 5 games ever?



You're a funny guy, Sully, I like you. Dat's why I'm going to kill you lahst.

You cant forget about Metroid, I spent countless hours on that game. Tecmo Bowl was great also. And Contra, Ninja Gaiden, Akari Warriors.

Can't really remember the older games.

But Golden Eye was awesome.

Recent Games Splinter Cell 1 and 2

GTA

Flex, can you believe I didn't have the NES? Yeah, to play those games, I had to go over to a friend's place.

For old school Nintendo, I played Contra, Megaman, and Life Force.

For newer games, I love the fighting games (i.e. Street Fighter, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter, etc.)

So maybe I'm not the only person who sometimes listens to video game music in the gym.. (I can't believe I just admitted that. Good thing nobody else can hear it)

I got all the Atari 2600, NES, Sega games emulated on my xbox.

Pitfall, damn I don't ever remember it being like that.

Tyson's Punch-out is classic, still play the emulated version every so often

Zelda was an awesome game!

Tyson's Knock-out was cool, but easy to beat.



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!!!

You've all seemed to forgotten a special SOMEBODY!

Chrono Trigger is my top favorite video game

some off the top of my head are starcraft, that's a biggie. Shenmue series is one of my favorite series of anything. Final Fantasy 7 is a gimme.

I'm currently not playing anything right now really. At least not hard core much. Tit's playing Harvest Moon for gamecube religiously- I've lost her, I haven't gotten sex in a week. I've been playing Ninja Gaiden for Xbox and Temple of Elemental Evil for PC on and off.

Top 5 games. I am also biased, because the only console system I own today is the NES haha! I have soo many games, that it never gets boring.

#1 CastleVania 2 Simons Quest (Fucking awesome game!)NES
#2 CastleVania 3 Draculas Curse (I still havent beat this SOB )NES
#3 Mike Tysons Punchout (Cant beat Mike either... And I have NEVER seen anyone do it w/o a game genie)NES
#4 Ninja Gaiden 2 (This is the best ninja series EVER! I cant wait to get an X-Box and play the new one.)NES
#5 Starcraft Brood Wars (This is undoubtedly the best RTS game ever invented. There is yearly tournaments for prize money, and there are even cable channels in Korea that play NOTHING BUT Starcraft replays)PC

I am partial to:

1)Ikari Warriors 2 arcade version

2)Kung Fu arcade version

3)Gauntlet arcade version

4)River City Ransom NES version

5)Tekken Series PS

Simon's Quest is up there too, I loved that game. I would say the game that absolutely changed the NES was Super Mario 2, the ending for that game was INCREDIBLE for that time. Tyson's punchout was too easy.

Edit:I put Metroid up there too, just for the fact that if you beat it enough, you find out the character is a woman and if you beat it further she plays in bra and panties.



If sense were common, everyone would have it.

I beat Zelda in one day. (with the map layouts) I can't believe so many people had trouble with Tyson's Punchout!



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
