Beaten, or just played? I've played about half of the games in the NES library, about the same for genesis, tons of DOS games, SNES, ps1, 2, 3, gamecube, xbox, psp, about 20 vita games, ds, 3ds, gba, gameboy, game gear, n-gage, game.com, virtual boy, saturn, dreamcast, n64.. probably more that I just can't remember. Listing names would be a very long post. I shudder to think of how much money I've actually spent on games in my lifetime.

If I tried to actually post everything I've played I would probably break something No, that's more of a guarantee. So instead I'll just mention that the original Half-Life and Diablo 2 are among my favorites. Maybe include Warlord's Battlecry II/III and Team Fortress 2 in there. I guess I should tack on Moonbase Commander. I had better stop now

Hell, it would take me to list just the different platforms I've played on, let alone the individual games. Doesn't help when you have every Atari ST, Spectrum, C64, SNES, Megadrive and MAME game... and have spent a lot of time playing most of them

I'm impressed at the memory recall of people who can just recite information like that, I'd have to prepare it in a spreadsheet or something first. Maybe the old gits like me can just list their favorite games on each platform instead. Myself, I'd be real interested in learning what Atari ST fans used to play - just got myself one last week and need to identify the best games for it... this thing is minted - it is immaculate, not at all yellowed, and still has the cellophane on the badge

I am the one who knocks...

Yeah well on my steam library it states around 600 games ^^ I've played most of them (some are junk from humble bundles that I really just claimed for the sake of it, but never played)
Games that left an lasting impression on me?(not necessarily emotionally) well cant think of all of them but..
The walking dead - all of em (400 days, 1st and second season)
The Wolf Among Us
Far Cry 3 (Vaas <3)
Beyond two souls
The Last of Us
Zelda OOC, Majoras mask
Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver

Binding of Isaac
Dark Siders (1 and 2)
Dark Souls 2
Lords of the fallen
F.E.A.R
Amnesia

and most recently This War of Mine


The games i've spent most of my time playing: All of the games MADE by Paradox; Europa Universalis IV: 384 hours, Crusader kings 2: 288 hours, Victoria 2 - i dont know, bought the gamers gate version but spent 28 hours on the steam one i bougth later, probably coming in at a total 100~ -150 hours

and Victoria Revolutions: 77 hours counting on steam, but WAAAY more than that considering most of my time spent on that one is spent on modded versions on the game version bought before the steam one came out. I've probably clocked over 600+ hours into that game.

Have you ever tried the 2-player mode in Lemmings Matty? - it's simply the most evil vs puzzle game ever conceived - especially when someone sneaks along to your trapdoor and digs straight down.

I loved Lemmings, I never got all the way through but my whole family gave it a good shot, we got stuck on one really horrible level in the hardest set. For me Lemmings2 was ok but far too complex, they lost a lot of the fun of the game when they introduced fans and balloons and stuff like that - arrows etc were fun but the whole blowing lemmings around with the fan was just tedious IMO.

Ohh yeah - 2 player Lemmings will destroy friendships!
The screen is split horizontally, and each player gets their own colour of lemmings, and have to save as many of their own as they can. We played it a lot, until everyone got sick of my dastardly tactics :/

I loved the game. It was very different stylistically, but I liked it. However, some git managed to over right my save when I was near the end. I love the sheer exploration of the game and I had put a lot of hours into exploration alone. You can imagine my disappointment lol. But my GameCube still works, maybe when I got a TV that upscales better I'll give it another go. GameCube games look awful on my TV. I almost worked on a fan game for it using the same style, but like a lot of my ideas, didn't follow through. In it, I was going to make it a female link. At the time, I was at battle with engines to play with. My goodness, that was back in 2006 T_T I was playing with Torque and well, I ended up finding myself struggling with it, because my C++ knowledge was pants and the scripting was very alien. Link. It is actually embarrassing looking at my old projects.


Ooh yes, how could I forget Lemmings?

I thought I was bad. How do you all find the time to play all those games?

Admittedly, I've played each of the Civ 1, 2, 3 and 4 games countless times. Similarly games 3 and 4 in the Heroes of Might and Magic series. Both those series allow you to create your own scenarios so you can go on forever really, creating and then playing a different game each time.

Games which you play just once get played, well, just once. [Not quite true, after a while you forget some of the details except whether or not you enjoyed playing them and then have another go. The old PS1 games Vandal Hearts 1 and 2 were like that. In fact when I can get near the TV () I might play them again. ]

Of course some games give you a tally of the special treasures or whatever that you've discovered and you can play them again to see if you can find that last elusive hidden gem. But after a while that can get tedious if the gameplay is the same.

Back on topic, did anyone mention

Attack of the Mutant Camels

on the old Atari 800XL?

Edit Also, don't forget

Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox

based on TGC products - and supported by many in this community.

I wouldn't even know where to begin... it'd be easier to just list the systems.

Atari 4800 / 5400 ? I don't know something like that, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Gameboy (original), Game Gear, N64, PS1, PS2, PC, iOS, Android.

dozens if not hundreds on most any of those.

I couldn't possibly list every game I've ever played. Not only can't I remember all the names, but my list would be in the hundreds easily. From Atari and Amiga to the modern PC and mobile phone.

Of course! Lemmings is an awesome game!

I really would love to list all the games I've played, but A) the list would be hundreds long and B) I'd get too nostalgic and sad

I'll just say that the most influential game I ever played is Half-Life 2, without a shadow of a doubt. Unsurprisingly it's my favourite game of all time. Portal is probably my second-favourite game of all time.

I never really enjoyed Half-Life 2 as much as the original. The puzzles were just too easy.

This thread was created for people who doesn't play that much, I guess. Or too young to have a large game experience, I guess. I guess, some people here just can copy list of all NES games here to save time on typing. Thread condition doesn't have anything like "beaten" or "PC-only", I guess. I guess, I guess. I have a large list of played games, it is bigger than average men's, I guess I am sure. I guess.

I played HL2 as a young teen. Having grown up playing MAME, Gens and Snes games with my brother, and then a few other awesome games like Cube, Sauerbraten, Clonk and the original Doom/HeXen/Heretic games, when we first played Portal it was the most incredible experience in the world. A story-driven FPS with awesome mechanics and really good graphics... and then we discovered Portal was built on the HL2 engine. We did some research, and realised we wanted to play HL2. It took a fair amount of convincing to make our parents let us buy it, but when we did... we couldn't stop playing it. AND we bought every HL2 game there was, so we had heaps of gameplay to keep us playing for days. It was seriously incredible.

Speaking of influential games... Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King on the PS2 was a massively popular game in our house. I have a brother and three sisters, and we'd all sit around for hours on end, with one person controlling the game and the others each telling the controlling person what their character would do. I was Yangus, my brother was Both (Hero, the main character - he ended up called Both because we didn't realise the name of the savegame also named the character), my second-oldest sister Jessica was Jessica (unsurprisingly) and my oldest sister Alex was Angelo. Unfortunately my youngest sisters Tabitha tends to get left out a lot, and she was forced to be the monsters we were fighting. Oh, the memories of when we could finally play for more than 1 hour, because we'd played the demo version several times, trying to as far as we could in one hour!

I recently realised they'd released Dragon Quest 8 on Android... but it sucks so much! Aside from it being slow-running and difficult to use, the voices are gone! All the voice acting that made the game so awesome was REMOVED! Doesn't do it justice at all...

Anyway, the fact that I so thoroughly enjoyed games like Dragon Quest and Neverwinter Nights (even if I never played very much of the first game beyond the area available in the demo, my brother and I played a great deal of Neverwinter Nights 2 in co-op) is what makes me so incredibly excited to immerse myself in the fantasy world of Dragon Age: Inquisition (if it ever FINISHES DOWNLOADING! AAGRHGH ROTTEN SLOW INTERNT!!).

That's why Clonkex?

Also, anyone enjoyed these successors: Might and Magic X, Jagged Alliance Back to Action, Postal 3 or Disciples 3: Reincarnation?

A story-driven FPS with awesome mechanics and really good graphics... and then we discovered Portal was built on the HL2 engine. We did some research, and realised we wanted to play HL2.

Quite the story

Actually, my username (through a string of absurdity) comes from Diablo 2

I think Half Life was a complete game changer for FPS fans. Before HL, there was Wolfenstein, Doom, Duke3D - and they mainly consisted of finding all the keys, killing all the enemies, and finding an exit. Half Life not only provided a great plot, but it made the player feel like they were the story, that somehow the player is in control of proceedings despite the game being fairly linear.

I am the one who knocks...

I only played HL1 a couple of years after HL2, and even though I enjoyed it, my overriding memory is "I'm gonna open a can o' WHOOP-ASS on ya!"
