Best Game EVER?

I have to say EQ for me personally, since I spent the better part of 6 years playing it.

For overall perfection though in story, gameplay, and enjoyment probably Planescape: Torment.
 
Most of the best games I've played fall in the 16-bit era. SNES to be specific. It's damn hard to choose one of them though. But even to this day, I've bought a few classics on the Virtual Console and actually went through all of them without having that "Man, I loved the game but I don't wanna go through all this again" feeling. That's the mark of truly great games.

Super Metroid, Zelda 3 (A Link to the Past), Donkey Kong Country 1/2, etc. I love games where it took hours to overcome obstacles or muster up the skill to anticipate boss patterns, but once I got it down, I could go through the whole game quick.

Mega Man X 1-3, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, etc. etc. Even long after the 16-bit era ended, I discovered classics that I completely missed when they were at their prime through emulators.

To me, there's no single best game ever :D

Very difficuilt to answer

Perhaps

Ultima VII?

no, no

maybe Thief 2 - the Metal Age...

should be Fallout 1..

damn

Cybercon III on the Amiga

shit forgot about

Doom

Ask me tomorrow and I'll probably change my mind and come up with 10 other games that are worthy. Indecision is the way forward.
 
probably spent more hours playing duke nukem 3d than any other game, so that's definately up there for me.
 
Unreal Tournament 2000 (zark mod). People still play this.

Close 2nd COD4 (unfortunately I can never find a good Hardcore HQ FF server anymore)
 
Kinda shocked not to see Double Dragon mentioned.
Really shocked there hasn't been a modern remake to that game.

Amazing gameplay and level design. The mission inside the police station is white knuckle all the way. I hope someone is making Thief 4. Unlike last generation, I think the current consoles could make a decent lead platform.Thief 3 was above average as a PC game but lost some of the magic from the Looking Glass games, which just ooze atmosphere and style. The early Thief games are among the all time classic SP PC FPS games.
 
WTF, no love for Shadowrun (Genesis/ Megadrive)?

Deus Ex on PC a close second.

Or maybe I was just stating my opinion? Because I thought the Genesis version was horrible. I preferred the way the SNES version played.

Then maybe you, and the other guy in Idaho that like the SNES version better can start a club for two. LOL
