The Secret of Monkey Island. It was my first adventure game, the first funny game I ever played, and first pirated game I ever played.
Kid Icarus. Why of all the games from the NES era, this one did not garner a franchise the way Mario, Metroid and Zelda did baffles me.
And if we can go even futher back, Moonsweeper for the Atari VCS. Impressive pseudo 3D for that beast.

The Lords of Midnight. It was epic storytelling in a world of shooters and textbased RPGs. It had a really beautiful setting for it's day as well. You could look around at the horizon, with rising mountains, great forests and towers and cities. And the growing army on you're doorstep, waiting to slay you and your allys. Heh, yea, favourite by far.
Super Mario Bros. 3 for console, Doom 2 for PC and Kirby's Dreamland for the original GameBoy...that is still my 'guilty pleasure' game
Best Classic, Tombi 2 was brilliant. I still even have the disc... but alas nearly a decade later it's now of poor quality and doesn't work...
And why'd no-one mention Pokemon Red or Blue(green)? Those were excellent! I can't think of anyone I know in person, who didn't own a gameboy and a copy of one of those games.

Well, I don't think there's an accepted definition of what makes a game "classic", or indeed, retro, old, decrepit, or any of those other terms of endearment.noradseven said:
For most people it's going to mean the first few systems they played games on. In which case, I'll say Dark Side. It was a first person adventure game, used the Freescape 3D engine, which was all monochrome geometric shaded objects and let you snap forward at preset intervals with 90 degree rotations, and aim and shoot with a cursor you moved around the screen. The game was set in a coherent gameworld rather then preset levels, and there were something like 25 interconnected square boards, that formed a vague sphere, and you wandered around destroying targets in a particular order (a target connected to two other live targets snapped back into existence, so you had to find the right order to get all of the targets). Sounds simplistic, but on the ZX Spectrum it was awe inspiring. (There were a couple of other Freescape 3D games on the Speccy, but that was the one I had, and therefore the best)
I enjoyed Tombi far more than its sequel. Just seemed like one of those bad transitions to 3D. But I thank you for the memory lane by talking about it.Sonic_Waffle said:
And nobody mentions those exactly for those reasons. Everyone has them. It's a guilty pleasure to anyone to be able to say a game that is not commonly known to people, even more so when it is recognized by a handful of others. Tell me you didn't feel good about mentioning Tombi just because it was a good obscure game? And for me knowing what that game also is?
A tie between Civilization (the original) and XCOM. Both were amazing games despite the crudity of graphics and the limitations on processing power, and both kept me playing long after I should've stopped...
