Donkey Kong 64, first 3d game I ever played (people were playing ps2 while I had the N64 but I didn't care a bit.)

Hmm lets see. I think it would definitely have to say Twisted Metal 2. I played the hell out of that game. I beat it with every vehicle at least 3 times. I loved it. Tied for a close second is Yoshi's Island and Super Metroid. They rule.

Super Smash Brothers Melee. With or without glasses, I had a blast with that game with friends for hours.

Doom, because it is still the greatest FPS of all time.

However if I was wearing my nostalgia glasses they would blind me to the glaring flaws of games I otherwise loved, in which case I'd probably pick Deathtrap Dungeon, because I loved the concept even through the gameplay was far from perfect and the graphics have not aged at all well.

C&C: Red Alert 1.

I played it recently and it is really frustrating now. Every time you send a unit somewhere it makes an arbitrary turn every time you click. But back then, ohh boy. I was actually quite good at it as well.

Ico for bloody sure, no question.

I still have my ps2 because of that game, and can't wait for the HD rerelease with Shadow of the colusses.

Vagrant Story.

A rare gem....a solo dungeoncrawler JRPG with a dark setting and a mature, non-standard story. Seriously, this game is better than several Final Fantasies put together (especially if you're gonna put together FF VIII and X-2 lol).

If this game would be remade with a Kingdom Hearts style battle system...it would be bliss.

Ocarina of time, no contest. I have so many memories of playing that game when I was 7, and have replayed it so many time!! And it really does seem to still hold up today, I finally talked my Girlfriend in to playing it on the virtual console and she's loving it!! She started this morning to play for "a little bit" and has now been playing for about 4 hours, she can't put it down.

Normally I hate to watch other people play games, but I've been sat beside her the whole time (Not helping - that would ruin it) watching her play, and it's fascinating watching her figure things out for the first time. And it brings back so many memories for me.

Other possible contenders include...

Mario 64
Super Mario Bros 3
Tie fighter!!
Pokemon blue
Rouge Squadron
Timesplitters 2
Super Metroid

You can't go wrong with any of those games!!

Gurl, my nostalgia goggles are never off. My three favourite games of all time are Tombi, MediEvil and Abe's Exoddus. Got to say, though, FFVII moves way up the classification if I purely view it through nostalgia.

I know it wasn't too long ago, but Oblivion was my introduction to RPGs. So many days I spent playing that game, despite it's flaws, I'd go as far as to say Oblivion was the most fun I've ever had in a game.

The first Jrgp I played and it blew my mind.
Also I like bloody hard final bosses.

I love that game, and I've never even played it!(I really want to, but it's not available in Europe)
My own favourite game is Shenmue, with its easygoing pace, memorable characters, and subtle but gripping story.

With nostalgia glasses, Baldur's Gate 2.

Without nostalgia glasses, Baldur's Gate 2.


or maybe Diablo 2 with nostalgia glasses, but it is really hard to compare a ~20 hour game with hundreds of hours of game.
