If you could only play one game for the rest of your life...

[tony_good]

what would it be?

[squidblatt]

Probably something like Galaga.

[goatdan]

Either Tempest 2000 or Robotron 64, probably.

Thank gosh I'd still have pinball ;)

[shai hulud]

Bubble Bobble

[calthaer]

Something with good replay value. That means random boards / levels and something that is continuously different and interesting.

Since few games - if any - do this, I'd say either X-Com: UFO Defense or Age of Empires II: Age of Kings. Both of those have it.

[CasualCoreGamer]

Ikaruga since it'll probably take the rest of my life to beat it without any continues. :roll:

[slurpeepoop]

Master of Orion 2.

When I buy or build a new computer, after the OS and anti-virus, MOO2 goes on.

It's one of a handful of games where you can beat a game, start a new one ten seconds later, and it will be just as enthralling.


The epitome of endless replayability.





Civilization and Simcity come in a close 2nd and 3rd.

[theoakwoody]

Since few games - if any - do this, I'd say either X-Com: UFO Defense or Age of Empires II: Age of Kings

Amen. Age of Kings and Counterstrike were my life in college. I lived in a house with 5 guys and we had an network setup in the basement. I really took it for granted because I'll never have those times back.

[Jibbajaba]

Some possibilities:

Civ II or III or Civ: Call to Power II
Final Fantasy VII (call me a sicko but I can play this game over and over)
Maybe Super Mario World

If we include pinball, then Theatre of Magic.

[tholly]

Halo 2 on Xbox Live

[Xexyz]

StarCraft:BroodWar with internet connection. This is the ONLY game that I have never gotten boared of. I've had it for 6 years and have yet to go on a hiatus of more than a month from it.

[NintendoMan]

Ocarina Of Time
Super Mario World
SMB 3
Mario 64

To hard to choose just one, but if I had to, it would be one of those!

[crazyjackcsa]

Sonic 3 locked on with sonic and knuckles. Best 1 (Or 2) Sonic games, ever.

[MegaDrive20XX]

other choices

Sonic Mega Collection PS2 or Xbox version

[Anexanhume]

Elder Scrolls III, easy :D

[drewbrim]

Some possibilities:

Civ II

Amen brother!

[AB Positive]

either Street Fighter III: Third Strike or King of Fighters '97. I have a hard time choosing either or, but one of those two would do nicely.

-AG

[soniko_karuto]

age of mythology, or the battle for middle earth.

[Nick]

I'd have to say the arcade version of Smash T.V. or World Series Baseball '98 for the Sega Saturn. I still play these games at least once a month (I don't play console games very often).

and..
I guess I can't forget Counterstrike...I've been playing it since Beta 5.


One of those 3. :D

[njiska]

I've got to go with Ghosts 'n Goblins for the NES. It's so damn hard maybe in a lifetime of playing nothing but it i might actually beat it.

Or i might commit suicide from frustration.

[GobopopRevisited]

Kirby's Star Stacker, though I'm getting o so close to victory after 9 years... so its addictiveness might werar off. Still one Hell of a fun game.

[ubikuberalles]

Galaga. Definitely Galaga.

[Mr Mort]

No doubt about it, Street Fighter Zero 3 on the Sega Saturn.
So many characters, each with 3 fighting styles, awesome animation, deep and complex gameplay, it would take an eternity to even scratch the surface...

[tony_good]

Interesting mixed bag of choices so far.

I'd probably say Mr. Do!, for the same reason a lot of people chose Galaga. The cool thing about classic games is I could play Mr. Do! once a day, every day, for the rest of my life and not get bored.

Do! Run Run, Joust, Mr. Do!'s Castle, or Spy Hunter would all be good candidates.

[TheRedEye]

Hell, I don't know. Maybe Fallout 2?

[Dr. Morbis]

Either Kaboom or one of the NHL games with season/franchise mode.

[Emily]

For me it would have to be....Solar Quest! I would prefer the arcade ( COOL sound effects) but ill keep my Vectrex version :-P

That, or Tempest ;)

[poloplayr]

No matter how much I want to answer Super Mario World...somehow, wouldn't a sports game offer THE best eternal value? Especially if it's 2 player....

[jdc]

Really, really, really easy answer.

Final Fantasy 10.

I've loved everything about the game since I first laid eyes on it. Always have, always will. I COULD play it forever and never tire of it.

[klausien]

Colin McRae Rally 2005.

There are just so many game modes and race options. I wouldn't need anything else.

[EnemyZero]

i agree with ikaruga, just because it will take a life time for me to beat it....other than that its a toss up between Tiny Toons : Busters Hidden Treasure on Genny and Bubble Bobble on NES

[mr_nihilism]

Burnout 3 is the only game I can think of that has the most replay value.

Castlevania (NES) would be my second choice.

[Kroogah]

My answer would be Bemani-related, but my Japanese PS2 recently stopped reading discs so I can't exactly play those the rest of my life, heh.

I swear I could play Championship Pool on SNES the rest of my life.

[Howie6925]

I would have to say X-Com Ufo defense(ps). I never get bored of this game.

[imanerd0011]

Even though it's not in my top 5 favorite games list, I have to pick Dr. Mario. It is my favorite puzzle game ever, and I think gives more replay value than even the really fun adventure games or side scrollers.

[Xantan the Foul]

I think my brain would explode at the mere mention of having to choose.

[sabre2922]

I have a few choices any of these would do fine for me:
Streetfighter3: third strike (Dreamcast)
Resident Evil 3:Nemesis (Dreamcast)
Silent Hill 1 (PSone/2)
Guilty Gear X (PS2)
but the one single game that I could without a doubt play forever would be:

STREETFIGHTER ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION (PS2) since it includes everything I have loved about the SF series ever since I was a wee lass ;)

[dcescott]

Carmageddon on my mac, the first one
Crashing cars and running over folks, well, it never gets old

[Muscelli]

gameware collection for saturn, since its like, 8 discs,

or some addictive mmo, like PSO

[maxlords]

X-Com: UFO Defense. I've never gotten bored of it...ever.

Alternate choices if I did not have a PC include:
Rock N' Roll Racing (SNES)
Final Fantasy III (SNES)
Warsong (Genesis)
Gauntlet IV (Genesis)
Image Fight 2 (PCE Duo)
Intelligent Qube (PSX)

[IntvGene]

Either Jet Set Radio or Thunder Castle. I could easily play both forever.

[otterpop]

Advance Wars 2. The amount of maps to play is astounding and you can create all the new maps you want. And you can play 2 players on one GBA.

[Cirrus]

SSX 3, I guess. I don't even play it that much now, but it's got great music, more challenges than I could ever complete, and it has a good feel.

Plus, it's 2 player, which is an important aspect for you guys to consider.

[Ruffie]

Ultima Online.

I've already been playing it 7 years, and see myself playing it until the day they pull the plug. There is simply so much to do that I doubt I'll ever do it all. Plus they keep patching in new content and publishing more expansions.

[BIGMIKE]

i think it would be solomon's key.....nes
can only get so far and then nothing. i need to beat this game sometime in my life -_-

[BIGMIKE]

second would be Diablo, hands down

oops sowwy :D

[9c1lt1]

Project Gotham for XBOX.
I love the scenery

[bargora]

Steel Battalion: Line of Contact. Especially if they were to release downloadable content. (I know, keep dreaming. Curse you Capcom!)

[OldSchoolGamer]

If you could only play one game for the rest of your life...


I'd kill myself because I coudn't choose, and if
I DID choose, I'd probably regret my choice.................... :D

[CartCollector]

If I could only play one game for the rest of my life...
that would suck.
