the original fable game
only about 6 years old
i was going to say oblivion but the uncanny valley rears its ugly head whereas fable had an enthralling morph system that distracted me from said immersion destroying monster

Mega Man X (Original) for SNES, turned 17yrs old on dec 18th. Still holds favorite game of all time to me, simple and good.
Recently they did a PSP version Remix/remake called Maverick Hunter X, was a solid game but due to the 3D nature was Slowed Down action wise.
X-2 X-3 still hold the runner ups, after that its supermario RPG then Devil May Cry 1.

Doom. Released in 1993.
I first played it in 1997 on the PS1, and while other games - FFVII, City of Heroes - have at times surpassed it in my affection, that never lasted very long. Doom (and I include Doom II and Final in this) is the game I will always return to.

Urm, Monster Hunter Freedom 2 came out... 2006 I think? Hang on, I'll check.
EDIT: Scratch that - "August 28th 2007"
It's only been topped by Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, but that's a direct sequel, so I don't count it as different. On my MHF2 save I've clocked around 1300 hours! (Plus 500 on MHFU)

Army maintenance is so cheap with the Julii (three main armies and an intelligent battle plan means minimal money spent on upkeep and a good management style with the cities means profits aplenty almost from Turn 1) that I can't imagine having MORE money. My city governors are all Extravagant Taste and Gourmand and other traits detrimental to their management skill. I send diplomats out to randomly bribe anything that moves just to keep the traits from triggering (they're tied to how much money is in your treasury.)Scobie said:
Gah, I really need to get hooked up with Doom. I've barely played it at all. I've recently started playing Marathon via the AlephOne engine, but it's a very different game despite the comparisons that pop up. Seems like both Marathon and Doom do what they each set out to do extremely well (though Marathon's level design is sometimes a tad on the sketchy side in the first game), but those are two very different things.Sixcess said:
But I'm more or less in your position with Doom with Halo CE. So I suppose it would be nine years for me.
Homeworld's lack of real competition, and the way it was so ahead of its time, mean it's barely aged a day except in graphics. I think a remake with a new graphics engine, but otherwise keeping everything else the same, would be awesome.megs1120 said:
