Haha. Yeah, when a game has a Sanity Meter, you know something's up. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

It didn't have the depth that Square's other RPGs have, but the fun factor was, for me, huge.

Super Metroid and Chrono Trigger battle for first place in my "Best Games Of All Time" list.

[Supersmoke]

If you want depth, play Chrono Trigger after you've had it for about 7 years.<br>And try to get the ending with Marle and Chrono flying in the sky on the ballons. Almost brings tears to my eyes. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[Deranged Mr. Pappy]

It seems as if the employees at Blizzard have finished their work on the recent patch to their title "Diablo 2." <br>I am hoping that this will be fun.

[Yurple]

I'm a raging Nintendo loyalist. I own every console and handheld, excluding Virtual Boy...which hardly counts. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>Fave games?

[penguinita]

this may be blasphemy, but i dont' play any computer, online, or video games anymore. i used to play some computer games, maybe 5 yrs ago, but nothing i really loved. and then i stopped because i didn't really have the time to play anymore. i don't play bord games that often, because the ones i really like take many hourse to play: like risk, risk2210, outrage, life... i also like cards- spades <!--emo&:wub:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/wub.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wub.gif' /><!--endemo--> (but i'm a bit rusty), and bridge (a complete newbi, but its still fun)- again, i don't play these games as much as i'd like, but i htink i'll find some way of living despite that <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> . a coupla years ago, one of my freinds played bridge more than she slept for a coupla months- she said it was very odd- she'd dream about playing bridge in her sleep.

[norsenerd]

OMG you like the game of LIFE. I love that game. I havn't been able to play since I was wee. Also thumbs up on bridge. Not enough people play that.

[Henohenomoheji]

guess what I just did.<br><br>I just beat bullet time fighting 100 bullets 4 opponents without anything:<br>no using bullet time<br>no using guns<br>no getting hit.<br><br>I was gonna try "beat 5 opponent BTF before the fifth pulls his disappearing act", but that's hard<br><br>Also I beat megaman next last week.

[Foxchild]

there is going to be a megaman collection put out for the gc in march.... why must they torture me so!!

[Maeglin]

I've only been playing Morrowind, Gothic, and AoE 2 on PC lately. On My PS2, It's been nothing but Gran Turismo 3. I play that every oppurtunity I can.

[Gizensha]

hehe... I love this sort of discussion. It gives me a chance to show how much I was born in the wrong generation <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>Uhh... Since it's a long post I think I'll sumerise (and elaberate simultainiously on a piece of text that follows. Yay). Over the years I've played many many games consoles ranging from the Atari 2600 to owning the three current consoles. I also had a period where my primary gaming was PC. My favourite genras are Action, RPG and Puzzle, but I enjoy most games other than sport and fighting. Even the genras I dislike I play from time to time, with the occasional item catching my eye (such as Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alience). Actually, though, I enjoy the 2d fighting games alot, it's just the current dial-a-combo fad that's going on within the genra that I dislike.<br><br>I'm a fairly hardcore gamer but I always try and keep a look out for titles that are a little bit different, a little bit quirky, or just plain surreal.<br><br>My first gaming experience was on an Atari 2600. Think it was Combat, but it might have been one of many games. It was a friends, and it was before I went to school. This is how I wound up being introduced to the company Activision, which is still one of my favourites. I wound up with an Atari 2600 not long after, of course, but anyways<br><br>Favourite games for the Atari consoles (2600-7200 or whatever):<br>Combat (50 multiplayer games in one, iirc), Vanguard and Pitfall.<br><br>Most memerable games for them:<br>Oink (unfortunately, the game sucked but it's one of those games that just sticks in your mind), Pitfall and Tomcat, which was a combat flight simulator with really realistic controls and awsome graphics for a game of it's generation.<br><br>At around 5 or 6, I wound up getting a c64. For the record, I'll say this now, this is my favourite machine of all time. Nothing can beat it in terms of sheer volume or variety of games. It also seems to me to be more powerful than the nes was, although that's based on a single nes game. It was also the system where I was introduced to the wonderful world of fluffy little sheepies (or, to put it another way, llamasoft)<br><br>Favourite games for the c64:<br>Sheep in Space, Flimbo's Quest and the vast amount of text adventures available. Oh, and the entire Dizzy series.<br><br>Most memorable games for the c64:<br>Sheep in Space, Flimbo's Quest and Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O' Fun (I did not make this one up, I swear). And again the entire Dizzy series.<br><br>At around age 6 I got a Mega Drive (What the Genesis was released as in the UK). At around age 7 my parents sold it. At around age 9 I got a new one because the c64 (main reason my parents sold it was that I played the c64 alot more) broke down.<br><br>Favourite games for the Genesis (hey, I may be a brit but the us name for the console is infinitely superior):<br>The sonic games (excluding Sonic 3D Blast), the second Echo game (didn't play the first) and Fantastic Dizzy, to my knowledge the only Dizzy game to be released outside of Europe.<br><br>Most memorable games for the Genesis:<br>Uhh... Same list actually.<br><br>Now I got a snes at this point. Prefered the genesis, but it was nice. Wish I'd have discovered Super Metroid back then, but ah well.<br><br>Favourite games for the snes:<br>Plok, Yoshi's Island, Sim City<br><br>Most Memorable games for the snes:<br>See previous list yet again.<br><br>Now we move into the modern gaming era. I had a pc from about 10, but I didn't start using it for gaming until the genesis and snes started wearing a bit thin. At which point I pretty much turned solely to pc gaming. I don't like to judge the current systems in the same way as the past systems, though, since we don't actually know what the greatest pc game ever's going to be yet so... *shrugs*.<br><br>Past PC addictions:<br>Civ, Civ 2, Alpha Centauri.<br><br>Current PC addictions:<br>Uhh... Minesweeper and that's it at the moment, although gridrunner++ is funky.<br><br>At some point I started playing gameboy. Only highlights here were Tetris and Pokemon, but I wasn't really into handheld gaming. Incidently, said highlights lasted through the gameboy colour as well.<br><br>I then got an n64. To this day I'm probably the only person in the universe who got an n64 simply for the pokemon spin off games, and that's pretty much how the n64 has remained. I'm therefor reserving all judgements on the n64, although I'll say that I'm the only person I know of who has all the pokemon n64 games that were released in his/her country, which isn't bad considering Stadium 2 is rare in the UK, apparantly.<br><br>I then had an unusually good christmas in terms of money and decided to splash out on a psx. It was here I descovered the wonderful world of console rpgs via FFIX, which is still my favourite PSX game. It was at about this point when I stopped being a pc gamer and started being a console gamer again. Unfortunately, I'm not judging the games for the ps2 for the same reason I didn't for the n64. Don't have a large enough amount of the games library to do that.<br><br>Now comes the current systems. I started by upgrading my psx to a ps2. I probably did this because I wanted FFX, but I like to think that had I had decided to get a console back when it looked like the DC was a serious contender I'd have got a DC instead. For the PS2 I have some of the more odd titles, and a couple of pure retro items, such as a modern day version of the paddle and ball games in the breakout/arcanoid vein, and a collection of activision titles originally released for the Atari 2600. I also have some of the more mainstreme titles, such as MGS2, FFX and SH2. <br><br>Current favourite games for it are FFX-2, Arc: Twighlight of the Spirits (first Arc the Lad game released in Europe, for the record. Best strategic RPG I've ever played) and Gregory Horror Show (beautiful thing. Somewhere between a puzzle game of the sort that wouldn't have looked out of place on the c64 and a surrealistic survival horror game. Apparantly it's based on a Japanese cgi cartoon that had four seasons, but the show's yet to get out of Japan despite the last of the seasons being made 2-3 years ago O_o;).<br><br>Next, my lust for way too many titles for the cube took over, and I got one. I'd say that on average I use the cube more than the ps2, but there are times when I'm currently playing three ps2 titles to 1 cube title, like this one. Dun really think I have any current favourites for the cube, (excluding the all time fav of Metroid Prime, of course) although the game I'm most anticipating the release of is coming out for the cube later this year (hopefully) - Unity. Yup, llamasoft's back. Or at least Jeff Minter is, not sure if he's developing it as a llamasoft title published by lionshead or a lionshead title, though. And they say the days of the one man developement team are dead <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>I also have an x-box, but I have so few games for that I often wonder why I got it. Then I remember that Psychonaughts is released next month, and MS keep <b>almost</b> winding up with great rpg exclusives. Oh. And Blinx.<br><br>Then there's the GBA. Normally played via the GBA player plugged into the bottom of my cube. Hard to say what my favourite game is on this, though, but probably metroid fusion.<br><br>For the record, multi-console releases I buy on the console with the controler I can most imagine myself using for them, or the console that they most feel right for. Sonic Heroes, for example, was purchased for the cube because playing sega games on a nintendo system just... Well, I gamed in the days of 16 bit, it's a pipe dream come true. Plus it kinda completes the set of cube sonic games <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>Somewhere along the lines I discovered irc freeform roleplay, and do that from time to time, and at some point I intend to actually join a MUSH, since they seem like fun. Shame I have character generation issues, really.
