Doesn't matter if it was PC, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega; what is your favorite game of all time?

Old School: Techmo Bowl

Not So Old School: NBA Jam

Civilization

Hands down, the NBA Jam coin-op machine.

space invaders but I would rather play pinball

---------------------------------------------------
W.W.S.D. what would Scooby Doo

That's like asking what's my favorite song... There's so many.

Civilization +1 for sure.
Although I am dumping tons of hours into Call of Duty, World at War.
Final Fantasy 7 was pretty entertaining.
Super Mario World was badass when drunk.

Back in the mid 90's there was a turn-based military strategy game called Panzer General. It used hexagonal maps and wasn't anything fancy, but the gameplay was excellent and highly addictive as you lead the mighty German army thru the European and North African campaigns.

I was also really addicted to Civilization 3 for a few months.

X-Com for sure.

That's a great runner up, IMO. Although I really only liked the first one.

Grand Theft Auto - all of them

Wasteland (Apple IIc)

Arcanum

Silent Hill 2

hmm...

Whatever, console, uh... console cretin! I'll be over here on my PC on the 15th, enjoying higher resolution and frame rates, as well as shorter load times and smoother controls. Meanwhile, your XBox 360 will just do its sad little red death ring thing.

actually, i have a ps3. do you honestly think i would buy a console by microsoft? it was an excellent investment. it has great controls (analog and wireless) (PC has the poorest gamepad support ever and no rumble support), build-in bluray player and plays every video codec used today (and they update codecs with firmware revisions). btw, do you even run your games 1900x1080 (1080p) or even 1280x720 (720p)... or have a 52" screen (another excellent investment) because i do? load times are very low... but i installed a fast SSD which makes load times for data off internal storage non-existent. a great feature that people dont think about is i dont have to use Windows (huge plus), hunt for patches online or worry about tweaking my system, buying never video cards and the only configuration i usually have to do is set my Y-axis to inverted and maybe adjust the brightness level (for dark games).

what makes developing for consoles so great is you can push the system to the limit, use low-level level hackery and not have to worry about your demographic having the right hardware or if it's fast enough because it's all standardized.

besides, a cell processor will blow any PC processor out of the water any day of the week.

Gravis uses a PS3 eh? I wondered about this one.

Yeah, well, you're stupid, and everything you say is dumb. You're like a stupid person, just sitting there and saying dumb things all day.

PCs rule! PS3s drool! I win! I win!

Law of the West:

Old Sierra games like Police, Space, and King's Quest.

Blessed are the murderous.

Zork and all the Infocom games. And the Scott Adams adventure series.

Everyone who did not say "Batman: Arkham Asylum" is wrong, and should be shunned.

LAw of the West reminds me of the Oregon Trail. That was such a great game. Not only could you shoot at animals, you could die from diarhea, and could leave some outstanding messages on your tombstone for future travelers.

I remeber Pitfall and River Raid from the original Atari - both great games.
