I have a feeling there have been over a million of these, but what the hell
First things first: I realize that the responses that will follow are SUPER SUBJECTIVE and that's FINE. That's the idea. Tell us what your favourite game is and why. Just a short story or the like, and let's have some fun!
Oh, AND NO FLAMING!!!!!! If you disagree with someone else's point(s), do so in a civilized manner please
I'll start the ball rolling.
As my name states, my vote goes to DOOM! Where to begin...hm...
Well personally, DOOM was the first game I EVER played, and it was the sole reason I game today period. I can remember coming home at night from school, sitting down at my desk, writing w/e was necessary in my notebook, not giving a rat's ass about whether or not my answers were correct, then getting on my comp and DOOMing lol
Why else does DOOM rule? Well it wasn't the FIRST FPS (Wolfenstein was, and even Ultima Underworld came before that), but it was the one game that put FPS games on the map...even PC gaming for that matter. DOOM was the world's first real MP game, the first game to have mods (Marine Doom is a perfect example, which, I'd like to add, gave rise to military training games like America's Army), the first game to piss off politicians, the first game to scare people to any degree, THE GAME THAT CREATED LAN PARTIES!!!!!!!!!!
What sort of legacy has DOOM left behind? Well besides what I mentioned above, it's the most ported game in history (11 times), it's still the leading poster boy for violence in video games, and it's the most CLONED game in history (in terms of gameplay I mean).
I could go on forever, but I want to hear what other people's favourites are
ROCK ON PEOPLE
