If you could only play one game for the rest of your life...

[tony_good]

what would it be?

[squidblatt]

Probably something like Galaga.

[goatdan]

Either Tempest 2000 or Robotron 64, probably.

Thank gosh I'd still have pinball

[shai hulud]

Bubble Bobble

[calthaer]

Something with good replay value. That means random boards / levels and something that is continuously different and interesting.

Since few games - if any - do this, I'd say either X-Com: UFO Defense or Age of Empires II: Age of Kings. Both of those have it.

[CasualCoreGamer]

Ikaruga since it'll probably take the rest of my life to beat it without any continues.

[slurpeepoop]

Master of Orion 2.

When I buy or build a new computer, after the OS and anti-virus, MOO2 goes on.

It's one of a handful of games where you can beat a game, start a new one ten seconds later, and it will be just as enthralling.


The epitome of endless replayability.





Civilization and Simcity come in a close 2nd and 3rd.

Amen. Age of Kings and Counterstrike were my life in college. I lived in a house with 5 guys and we had an network setup in the basement. I really took it for granted because I'll never have those times back.

Some possibilities:

Civ II or III or Civ: Call to Power II
Final Fantasy VII (call me a sicko but I can play this game over and over)
Maybe Super Mario World

If we include pinball, then Theatre of Magic.

[tholly]

Halo 2 on Xbox Live

[Xexyz]

StarCraft:BroodWar with internet connection. This is the ONLY game that I have never gotten boared of. I've had it for 6 years and have yet to go on a hiatus of more than a month from it.

[NintendoMan]

Ocarina Of Time
Super Mario World
SMB 3
Mario 64

To hard to choose just one, but if I had to, it would be one of those!

[crazyjackcsa]

Sonic 3 locked on with sonic and knuckles. Best 1 (Or 2) Sonic games, ever.

[MegaDrive20XX]

other choices

Sonic Mega Collection PS2 or Xbox version

[Anexanhume]

Elder Scrolls III, easy

[drewbrim]

Some possibilities:

Civ II

Amen brother!

[AB Positive]

either Street Fighter III: Third Strike or King of Fighters '97. I have a hard time choosing either or, but one of those two would do nicely.

-AG

[soniko_karuto]

age of mythology, or the battle for middle earth.

[Nick]

I'd have to say the arcade version of Smash T.V. or World Series Baseball '98 for the Sega Saturn. I still play these games at least once a month (I don't play console games very often).

and..
I guess I can't forget Counterstrike...I've been playing it since Beta 5.


One of those 3.

[njiska]

I've got to go with Ghosts 'n Goblins for the NES. It's so damn hard maybe in a lifetime of playing nothing but it i might actually beat it.

Or i might commit suicide from frustration.

[GobopopRevisited]

Kirby's Star Stacker, though I'm getting o so close to victory after 9 years... so its addictiveness might werar off. Still one Hell of a fun game.

[ubikuberalles]

Galaga. Definitely Galaga.

[Mr Mort]

No doubt about it, Street Fighter Zero 3 on the Sega Saturn.
So many characters, each with 3 fighting styles, awesome animation, deep and complex gameplay, it would take an eternity to even scratch the surface...

[tony_good]

Interesting mixed bag of choices so far.

I'd probably say Mr. Do!, for the same reason a lot of people chose Galaga. The cool thing about classic games is I could play Mr. Do! once a day, every day, for the rest of my life and not get bored.

Do! Run Run, Joust, Mr. Do!'s Castle, or Spy Hunter would all be good candidates.

[TheRedEye]

Hell, I don't know. Maybe Fallout 2?
