What would you say the best/most fun game of all time was?
For me I'd say I got the most milage out of Lucas Arts Day of the Tentical. That's a real classic right there, point and click at it's finest. Darn funny too.
Warcraft 2/3 and "Cosmic Osmo" were also highly influential when I was younger.
The worst?
Aside from numerous shareware games/demos that stunk in a pesonally degrading way, X2: Wolverines Revenge was proably the worst game I ever bought, $30 bucks spend on a really dull romp with Wolverine himself! Boring graphics, like, 5 combat moves, repetitive missions, no saves, cheezy, cleche laden plot ("it's quiet...too quiet"), etc. Not the worst game of all time by any means, just out of the ones I bought.
The wierdest?
"Gubble" and "Jump Zampoli" were extreamly weird. Gubble was essentially a game of tools. You were this purple "thing" in an isometric perspective that used actual tools, hammers, drills, etc. to get though the level. You could only pass once all the screws, nuts, bolds, nails, etc. were delt with, while avioding really strange, spikey robot dudes. Jump Zampoli was a twisted game with two freakish little elf guys that had to use a see-saw like object to bouce each other up and pop gothic looking balloons in the sky. That game really scared me as a kid, the grahical style was just so messed up, wish I still had it.
Hardest?
I spend so many hours playing stupid missions (with only checkpoints) over and over on wolverines revenge. I lost a lot of hair that week. Impossible to beat the damn thing w/o cheats. Starcraft was way beyond me as well, level 6 on the Terrain campaign was enough for me.
Most underrated and overrated?
Jazz Jackrabbit was a really fun game, should have gotten more acclaim. LOTR's The Return of the King was better in my opinon than most people gave it credit for as well. I just loved how there's so much going on at once, really intense.
I like Doom 3 but I don't quite think it deserves all the hype, it's a very pretty game but I still think others like PainKiller and FarCry look better. If it wasn't so much of a performance hog I'd appreciate it more, still fun though.
