I'm a video game crack head, so there's no room for all my favs. Some random classics (all console I think):
Final Fantasy Tactics - Just started playing it again, and it still holds my interest. The work and attention to detail that went into the battle design for this, albeit extremely boring-looking game has yet to be outshined by any thing else, for me. I discover something new every time I dust it off (this time around: lightning spells do more damage when its raining, for Christs's sake). Beautiful tunes & spell effects too.
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo / Mortal Combat 2 - I have life long friendships based on immeasurable hours spent playing these.
King's Field - Another one that's boring if you're not playing it, but dammit there is just something about it. The music maybe? Something... mysterious and spectral about exploring this one. I can remember searching a cave in the beginning of the game, and upon hearing the trickling water of a nearby healing fountain, looking over at my friends with bug eyes as we let out a simultaneous "wow cooool". I don't own anymore - pretty sure the graphics were demolished by Unreal. Still though, totally juicy game. Never got around to the second one...
FF 7- Single biggest contributor to the demise of my college education, and I didn't even get to ressurect Aeris. :P
Super Puzzle Fighter- imo, one of the most ridiculously fun games I've ever played - girls also seem to love this one, so it's great. They don't complain if they're playing it.
And I guess the original Zelda & Castlevania earn placement, since for some reason I can' t think of anythign more obscure to share. (note to designers, based in part on the frustration of dodging the bats in Castlevania: JUMP PUZZLES SUCK - STOP MAKING GAMES WITH JUMP PUZZLES.)
oh oh oh! Forgot Wizards & Warriors. Opening song & the "feather of fall" are merit enough for downloading the rom. :)
