My favorite game of all time is tennis.

SpaceWar! is just a sad, pathetic effort by physically unfit and weak commoners, attempting to create a game they could actually excel at, as the sport of kings was too demanding, and too high class, for their greasy, blubbery bodies to ever dream of performing with even the most rudimentary competence.

SpaceWar! is perhaps the worst version of tennis ever made. One must imagine it's fans, and creators, suffer endless shame, their dignity long since broken and torn, the last shred sealed away deep inside under endless layers of humiliation and suffering.

Hold no hate for fans of SpaceWar!, hold in your hearts only pity, for their torment is unfit for even the worst of humanity.

I suppose Ico is a tired, walking cliche then.

 

[iirate]

DOOM, DOOM 2, and Quake LOL at your thread.

I heard them, they're literally mocking you from my steam game list.

Link in OP mentions first person Space War.

Oh, and Super Metroid, Earthbound, Advance Wars: DS.

Honorable mention to Ouendan, SSBM, and Chaos Theory.

 

[Lich_King]

Minesweeper destroys your argument

 

[Booshka]

My favorite game definitely sucks under your standards, but luckily, I don't care.

 

[Fugu]

The similarities between SpaceWar and Diablo 2 are astounding.

It hurts to have been so wrong for so long.

Finally people get it.

 

[WEGGLES]

Eh.
I don't think Chibi Robo applies.

When was the last time a house keeping robot helped pirates and prevented a divorce?

Though, yes, to me it felt like a breath of fresh air... and I did go back and play it recently... and I love it still. And it's not nostalgia goggles. What I liked about it then I like now. A quirky platformer with plenty of colour and charm. It was flawed then, and still is... but it never took away from what I liked about it. I don't consider it "revolutionary" in the least. It's just a cute game that I picked up on a whim that was one of the last times I went into a game I loved completely blind, and discovered everything on my own. I hadn't watched 1000 trailers, or read 1000 previews.

The game is a pretty good game, with a lot of charm and just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

 

[ZealousD]

What's that you say? The game was a revolution? The game was influential? You're not wearing nostalgia goggles? Well, just let me link you to this article about an earlier game with the same distinguishing features and you'll see that not only did your favourite game not do that thing first, it didn't even do it as well.

Man you're stupid. Tennis for Two came out before Space War.

 

[Shaneus]

Mid-way through the OP I was thinking "You don't know shit about my favourite game. Star Control 2 was fucking awesome". The fact you mentioned a game that was a direct influence to mine is maximum bizarre.

Bravo, VKS. You've succeeded in creeping me the fuck out.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Top 3 of all time:

1. Resident Evil 4
2. Metroid Prime
3. Super Metroid

I have excellent taste, no denying that.

Metroid Prime 2 > Metroid Prime

 

[Izayoi]

Metroid Prime 2 > Metroid Prime

Woah there, let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

 

[Clott]

Well I haven't really thought of what my favorite game is for a long time. I can't really pick right now.

 

[revolverjgw]

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR FAVORITE GAME IS

cuz it sucks

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

My favourite game is Alpha Centauri.

I genuinely wish it had been superceded by something better by now.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Metroid Prime 2 > Metroid Prime

Better bosses and world? Sure. But dark world tedium and absurd key hunt brought it down a few notches. Still an amazing game though; Retro is by far my favorite developer of the last decade. DKCR2 or bust.

On topic - Two more favorites of mine, F-Zero X and GX. Arguably two of the best racing games ever made, and the only two that can keep my attention past the first lap.

 

[gimmmick]

Better fighters have come and gone, but I this will always be my favorite game of all time.

Super Mario 64

Bah that's not even a real Mario Bros game!

 

[Monocle]

You are a squirrel. You don't know how to play video games.

Also, Okami laughs at your pessimism.

Spoiler

Even though you're mostly right.

 

[Cuban Legend]

Bah that's not even a real Mario Bros game!

Bah! Shigeru Miyamoto Produced and Directed a fake Mario Bros game!

[danmaku]

I have no favourite game. Your argument is invalid.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Mother 3 easily succeeds in avoiding all of these failings. :v

 

[EricHasNoPull]

I guess the Cardigans were right when they sang...

"And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game."

 

[SykoTech]

Metroid Prime 2 > Metroid Prime

Boss-wise, sure. Well, at least Quadraxis. But the repetitiveness of the Dark World kept it from touching the original overall.

My favorite game is probably still Sonic 3. OP's probably right about the main character, but the gameplay just gets better with age if anything.

 

[zoukka]

My favourite game is Nocturne. Your argument is invalid.

That game had some awful dungeons and one-hit kill game overs.

 

[Snowman]

I never claimed that my favorite game was the best or most original, just that it's the game I like the most.
