Definitely have to include SSX Tricky, NBA street, and roller coaster tycoon
Dino Park.
It was fun at first until you had to sail from Windfall Island all the way to Outset in storm and rain for that one part haha.
I pull out the Oregon Trail references all the time at work. New feature has dysentery. New code has typhoid. It also taught me the value of knowing how deep a river was before trying to ford it. And to value your oxen and wagon wheels.
Wind Waker was an awesome game. It is the only game I can recall that felt serene. Sailing around the world was fun and calming in itself.
Mario 3 was great. Mario World was epic too. I totally forgot about the THPS series. Ridiculously good games, I got addicted to THPS1 more than anything, although I think it wasn't until 3 or 4 until they really figured it all out.
I don't believe y'all.
1) Legend of Zelda. The original. Best game ever created. It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!
2) Super Mario Kart on Super Nintendo. The original. Best replay value and best multiplayer game ever. Rainbow Road, son. Koopa in race mode, Donkey Kong in battle mode.
3) Super Smash Bothers for GameCube. Also best replay value and also best multiplayer game ever. Mewtwo FTW.
I am so disappointed in all of you.
I know it's not that old, and it caught a lot of flak, but there were some GREAT games on Gamecube. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is probably my all time favorite game. I've played it over and over at least 5 times. Super Mario Sunshine was also really fun and I loved Luigi's Mansion.
I'll catch some flak for this, but Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a classic. After that they lost their touch.
It's brand new, but did anyone else love Bioshock Infinite?
Super Mario Brothers 3 for the old Nintendo
The Tony Hawk series on the first playstation (personal favorite is 4, but 2 is also fantastic)
Final Fantasy 7 (considered by many as the best RPG of all time)
Madden 2004 for PS2 where MV7 and Randy Moss were the most overpowered players in the history of the madden franchise. Also, they had the sweet minigames like rushing attack which were played more than actual games of football.
Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey
LT was completely unblockable in TSB. I don't know if the computer's QB EVER got a pass off.
"reddy-dow-huthuthuthuthuthuthut" [.3 seconds of music] ---
Star Craft. The best RTS ever made.
Little League Baseball for NES. Canada. Albert. FTW!
Super Smash Bros. is definitely my favorite. I grew up on NHL Hitz 2004 though. Team Sweden with Mats Sundin and Tommy Salo were pretty untouchable (unless you were the traitor that played with Canada (Chris Pronger is a god in that game)).
Shine on you crazy diamond.
I would love a video that shows old-school footage of snot-nosed lineman panckaing DL's, and from the otherside, our smothering 4-6 defense destroying ppl -- and then transition that with something with a guy's voice in the background harkening our current team to get back to basic principles and become like them -- then transition to the few good things we did last year to look fwd to the following year.
Halo 1, before XBox Live, and my neighbor knew how to hook up the XBox to his computer and play people online.
And, GTA III.
Leisure Suit Larry FTW.
She could have picked anything else to talk about around the ACC and chose the Hokies inadequacies on offense. I feel like there were more prominent headlines in the conference.
As a wee tot I liked to drop acid and do the Special Cup. RaiIIinnBOooWW roOoaDDDdd wOOoahhHHH.
I'd play Oregon Trail and the original Sim City all day in my office if given the opportunity.
Jayron Hosley would be in the discussion as well (although his stretch towards the late part of 2011 hurt him prior to his terrific Sugar Bowl.)
Jimmy Williams vs Brock Berlin in 2004 might be the single best game played by a VT defensive back in my lifetime, but I take Flowers 1, Williams 2.
I'm going mostly with games that are about 10+ years old. In no particular order
Mario Bro.
Mortal Kombat 2
Halo
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Ocarina of Time
Some personal Favorites are the X-Wing Series (X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, & X-Wing: Alliance) from LucasArts and the first 3 Wing Commander games, though I don't think they meet all of your critereia. I still play all of them off and on though.
