How old is your all-time favorite game?

[Slaanax]

Master of Orion 2 it came out in 1996 so its going to be 15 this year!

It's either Twilight Princess or Mass Effect 2. Either way, it's not old. I have been gaming since Super Mario Brothers was new.

Like Dusty, I've been a gamer since Super Mario Bros. first hit the shelves. My favorite game though has to be Thief: The Dark Project (1998) with it's sequel, Thief II: The Metal Age (2000) a close second.

There's nothing quite like a well made stealth action game. You know, one that *actually* uses a stealth mechanic?

Mine is knights of the old republic(KOTOR) and it is 7 years and 6 months old.

 

[BeastofShadow]

Donkey Kong Country so 16 year old. I first played it 14 years ago and while I do forget about it from time to time when I remember it hops back to first.

 

[Kadoodle]

red dead is 3/4 of a year, and fear is about 5 or 6 now.

Good ol' Morrowind came out 8 years ago, hard though that may be to believe. I got the GOTY edition at a Media Play on sale in 2005 and since then it has held my heart in the palm of its brown, polygonal hand.

I have loved many games since then but Morrowind has yet to fall from the top spot in my mind. As bad as the user interface was, that's the game I go back to every now and again to remind myself why I love it so much.

KotOR came out in 2003 i believe

 

[The Night Shade]

MGS 1 it was released in 1998 so i guess 13 years old

 

[Grey_Focks]

hmm...yea, only one year. I stand by saying that games have been getting better, and I point to Mass Effect 2 for evidence of this. To be fair though, the 4 other games I call "all time favorites" only one other of them is even in this generation...

 

[Nero09]

Soon-to-be-twelve-years-old Heroes of Might and Magic 3

 

[Shock and Awe]

Halo: Combat Evolved, it was released in 2001 so its going on ten years.

 

[gamepopper101]

I don't really have one all-time favourite, but quite a few. The oldest (Rocket Knight Adventures) is just as old as me so 17 years old. The most recent (Bit.Trip Core) was back in August 2009 for me so 2 1/2 years old.

 

[AMMO Kid]

Dead Rising. It's still pretty young

 

[Fishyash]

Thirteen years.

Banjo Kazooie. It's use of comical graphics, diverse puzzles and speech imperiments won my heart as an N64 player and still holds it now even as i commit my gaming time to the xbox360.

I have yet to beat the final boss on this game. Occasionally I go and try but then I stop playing from fustration at how bad I am at that game.

A close second for me though, would be super mario bros. 3. 10 years old.

 

[luckshotpro]

Bioshock, released in August of 2007, so that's coming up on 3 and a half years old

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

4 years. Mass Effect

I've always wanted to try Rome Total War, but never did because.....I end up never finishing strategy games. (C&C 3, Starcraft 1, Starcraft 2, Civilizations.etc.)

 

[alimination602]

Yeah the final boss is a real nutbuster. The best way to take her is just get maximum supplies of everything, remember each stage and it's counter and pray for a bit of luck.

 

[asam92]

Only 1 Year, Uncharted 2 the whole game is epic, graphics, story, acting, characters, gameplay, AI, EVERYTHING!
But before that it was Secret of Mana back on the SNES, still my 2nd fav and it dates back to 1993 so last year it was 17 years old.

 

[skennedy929]

Super Metroid on SNES, 17 years ago.

 

[linwolf]

11 years, Final Fantasy IX is probably never going to get beaten as my favourite game.
