Best video games over the past 40 years!

[x-pack]

Not in any particular order

Super Mario Brothers
Super Mario kart
Street Fighter 2
Castlevania
Castlevania Symphony of Darkness
Tekken 2
Stunt Race FX
Grand Tourismo 2
Tourist Trophy (ps2)
COD4
MW2
Uncharted 2
Mirrors Edge

But by far the best game ever has to be Gta5. Its nearly four years old and new dlc's are still coming out ...for free! And the latest one contained a mk1 Escort! ******* amazing!

Almost impossible to do a top 5 but off the top of my head:

1) Monkey Island (1 or 2) (Amiga)
2) Zelda Link To The Past (SNES)
3) Mario 64 (N64)
4) Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition (got to be the arcade version)
5) Super Empire Strikes Back (SNES)

[Dr_Ball_MD]

First ever experience playing games was on a friends Atari 2600 around 1979/80, 32 in 1, tanks and planes.

At the arcades it was always Phoenix, Galaxian, Pacland, TMNT, Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja, Chase HQ.

My first computer was the Amstrad CPC464, mainly played Dynamite Dan, Pyjamarama, Jet Set Willy, 1943, Yi-ar Kung Fu and Target Renegade.

First console was the Sega Megadrive, was all about Sonic, Road Rash, Super Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, Streets of Rage II, PGA European Tour.

Sega Saturn - Street Fighter Alpha, Fifa 96, Daytona, Sega Rally Championship, Virtua Fighter.

Playstation 1 - Twisted Metal 2, Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider, Worms.

Playstation 2 - GTA San Andreas, Need for Speed, Manhunt, The Warriors.

Playstation 3 - Sonic & Sega worldwide racing, Red Dead Redemption, Tiger Woods, Burnout, Star Wars The Force Unleashed 1 & 2.

Playstation 4 - Star Wars Battlefront, GTA 5, No Man's Sky.

Still play most of the above (up to the PS1) on the Raspberry pi.

 

[x-pack]

I too had an Amstrad as my first computer. Don't remember the model but it must have been expensive. Games were rubbish - had some sort of Harrier SIM, a game about finding the holy grail and one called Jinxter (typing role play game). Anyone remember those?
