Most Original Game

[NeoDeath90]

Pong obviously.

It was the first game to be made mainstream in arcade and later have a port to home computers. Pong's success is more or less the reason we even have a game industry.

Most original game? Sorry, I disagree. There was a game before pong which is exactly the same thing. It's called Tennis.

Sure, pong is the most INFLUENTIAL game because there would be no game industry if Ralph Baer hadn't made it. But original it is not.

Originality goes to either Pac Man or Tetris for me. Two great games needing twitchy hands and a focused eye.

 

[Fantastico]

Pong.

 

[Baneat]

Half life or DOOM

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Professor Layton.

Logic Puzzles+Adventure Game=Great

 

[Hulyen]

Probably the original Final Fantasy game, it has an excellent combat, a jaw dropping story, and a gigantic world (for that time). Honorable mention goes to Half-Life.

Actually, Final Fantasy was a blatant rip-off of Dragon Warrior.

I have no idea if anyone has said it yet, but...Shadow of Colossus gets my vote. I've never played any game like it.

 

[ShameSpear]

Dude. Mortal Kombat.

FATALITY

I also had a lot of fun with Asteroids back in the day.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i found Bioshock to be quite original... The idea of this underwater city for the brilliant minds of the world. The story line was uncommon for its genre and some of its features i had never seen before in any previous game.

You have heard of Atlantis right?
Oh and...hmm... I don't know what is the "most original". I think SC brought a massive amount of important changes to the RTS genre...

Most original as in never done before in any form of entertainment? Out of the ones i played, i'd go with Project Nomads and Steamland.

 

[PAGEToap44]

I've never seen anything quite like the Half-Life games.

 

[Wareve]

Vodo Vince. Yes not the most origanal gameplay stile (jump on head ect.) but the consept was so new that it was amaseing.

 

[IronEd]

I would say serious sam. There was no other fps like it and it made me very happy when I played it all the time. It was even more fun to buddy up and just go on a killing spree! I wish they would make more fps's like it, the closest that i know of is L4D but other than that i have no idea.

Portal i'd say.

wasn't portal inspired by an old mod?

 

[antipunt]

So many choices....

so many colors, so many FLAVORS

 

[Attila_the_Pun]

Theres some game where you play a time travelling british who goes around collecting pie. Theres no storyline other than that I think.

 

[renkejr]

Castle Wolfenstein 3D

 

[balimuzz]

I've got to go with Portal (2nd favorite game of all time) or Pikmin. Honorable mentions to Killer 7 and No More Heroes. Suda 51 is officially insane...and I love it!

 

[balimuzz]

I've never seen anything quite like the Half-Life games.

What? Cinematic FPS! Millions of 'em. Just that none of 'em are as good.

Most original game in recent years by far.
