10. Blades of Steel - Whoever thought kids in my neighborhood would be lined up to play a hockey game? When they're fighting involved, it makes it much better. This is prolly one of the only hockey games I've ever played more than twice.
9.Street Fighter 2 - This game set the score between who had skills or not. I was undefeated with Ryu.
8.NBA Live 2000 - First one for Playstation 2 I think. Graphics were amazing.
7.Halo 3 - Remember staying up 47 1/2 hours straight the night this dropped.
6.WCW vs NWO: World Tour -Wow, what do you know about this? Getting four people together and going at it in the ring with Sting, The Hulk, The Giant, Rey Mysterio and more.
5.Golden Eye 64 - Best multiplayer game EVER.
4.Zelda - Getting lost in the trees are we?
3.Metal Gear Solid 2 - My good ol tennis teammate Jeff put me on to this while we were in college. Couldn't believe I'd never heard of this before. After that, i even went back, bought, and finished the original Metal Gear Solid.
2.Grand Theft Auto 3 - Stealing lowriders JUST to hit the switches.
1. Contra - Wooooow what can I say? This has to be MY BEST GAME EVER. The action was crazy and so was the multiplayer. I remember fighting over who would get which gun. The (L)aser was cool but everyone wanted the (S)pread. Hahaha! Even the code will never be forgotton.
Your thoughts?
My top 10:
ReplyDelete1) Tecmo Bowl- Best football game of all time. Period. I don't care how many Madden's they release.
2) Nox- Best multi-player game of all time. 8 hours a day back at old JCJC. I call it a "crack cocaine substitute". It was that addictive.
3) Metal Gear Solid- I'll never forget when this game came out. The way it utilized the Dual Shock, memory cards, and the incredible gameplay.
4) Starcraft- Another online gem.
5) Battlefield 1942- Best online FPS.
6) Mario Bros. Series- The king. So many good games in this series it's impossible to choose one. I still haven't played a 3D adventure game that stacks up to Mario 64.
7) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night- Freddie Mac, if you haven't played this one, check it out.
8) Half-Life- Best offline FPS. Incredible.
9) Zelda Series: Take your pick. So many great games.
10) Super Mario Kart: So many great memories with this one. The 2 player mode was fantastic.
BTW, absolutely loved Blades of Steel. The mini-game in between periods was ultra cool.
Did you really stay up that long playing Halo?
I still remember when you brought over GTA 3 to the dorms. I was blown away.
Hahaha yeah man, I think that was my first Halo too, and I had prolly just got back into playing games and got an Xbox for my bday that summer, so it was the first online game I got into. LOL, I was up forever it seemed.
