How old is your all-time favorite game?

[badgersprite]

12-13 years, I think. That's when I remember playing my two favourite games of all time: Abe's Exoddus and MediEvil. Hold on a sec. *checks wikipedia*

Yes, I was exactly right. 1998 for both games.

 

[Bolt-206]

Starsiege was released roughly... 11 years ago, so let's go with that.

The original Golden Sun, which came out in late 2001. So almost 10 years. =D

Definitely a great game. It's annoying how I lost the cartridge for it though...

 

[Yohaun]

12 years old.
Thief II: The Metal Age <3

 

[Slaanax]

Master of Orion 2 it came out in 1996 so its going to be 15 this year!

It's either Twilight Princess or Mass Effect 2. Either way, it's not old. I have been gaming since Super Mario Brothers was new.

Like Dusty, I've been a gamer since Super Mario Bros. first hit the shelves. My favorite game though has to be Thief: The Dark Project (1998) with it's sequel, Thief II: The Metal Age (2000) a close second.

There's nothing quite like a well made stealth action game. You know, one that *actually* uses a stealth mechanic?

Mine is knights of the old republic(KOTOR) and it is 7 years and 6 months old.

 

[BeastofShadow]

Donkey Kong Country so 16 year old. I first played it 14 years ago and while I do forget about it from time to time when I remember it hops back to first.

red dead is 3/4 of a year, and fear is about 5 or 6 now.

Good ol' Morrowind came out 8 years ago, hard though that may be to believe. I got the GOTY edition at a Media Play on sale in 2005 and since then it has held my heart in the palm of its brown, polygonal hand.

I have loved many games since then but Morrowind has yet to fall from the top spot in my mind. As bad as the user interface was, that's the game I go back to every now and again to remind myself why I love it so much.

 

[spartandude]

KotOR came out in 2003 i believe

 

[The Night Shade]

MGS 1 it was released in 1998 so i guess 13 years old

 

[Grey_Focks]

hmm...yea, only one year. I stand by saying that games have been getting better, and I point to Mass Effect 2 for evidence of this. To be fair though, the 4 other games I call "all time favorites" only one other of them is even in this generation...

 

[Nero09]

Soon-to-be-twelve-years-old Heroes of Might and Magic 3

 

[Shock and Awe]

Halo: Combat Evolved, it was released in 2001 so its going on ten years.

 

[gamepopper101]

I don't really have one all-time favourite, but quite a few. The oldest (Rocket Knight Adventures) is just as old as me so 17 years old. The most recent (Bit.Trip Core) was back in August 2009 for me so 2 1/2 years old.

 

[AMMO Kid]

Dead Rising. It's still pretty young

 

[Fishyash]

Thirteen years.

Banjo Kazooie. It's use of comical graphics, diverse puzzles and speech imperiments won my heart as an N64 player and still holds it now even as i commit my gaming time to the xbox360.

I have yet to beat the final boss on this game. Occasionally I go and try but then I stop playing from fustration at how bad I am at that game.

A close second for me though, would be super mario bros. 3. 10 years old.

 

[luckshotpro]

Bioshock, released in August of 2007, so that's coming up on 3 and a half years old

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

4 years. Mass Effect

I've always wanted to try Rome Total War, but never did because.....I end up never finishing strategy games. (C&C 3, Starcraft 1, Starcraft 2, Civilizations.etc.)
