Recommend games to each other [mega]thread
Okay looking at the popular threads and a lot of them have the "Top [n] [something] ever!" theme; a thread of this nature about games is conspicuous by it's absence. There may actually be one but the search feature on this site is so fucking awful I've not bothered to check.

Anyway, this thread is to recommend awesome games to people. Old or new, popular or obscure, critically acclaimed or reviled, whatever. Old classics people might not have played is especially good due to the ease of emulation on modern pc's.


Top hit for popular emulators for various platforms; The Emulator Zone - Your Source for Emulation!


Here's some classics I loved to kick you off;


Speedball 2 - Note: Original, not 2007 remake.
D/Generation
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Sensible Soccer
Another World
Flashback
The Chaos Engine
Rick Dangerous
Jet Set Willy
Turrican series


Anyone play/love/hate these?


Edit: Added wp links

scottyboy is an unknown quantity at this point
a lot of the old mega drive games i used to love haven't really aged well... but toejam and earl is still great, particularly on 2player

baldurs gate on pc was great, g-police games and medievil on ps1 and ico (the more well known 'shadow of the collossus' is kind of a sequel to this) on ps2 is/was the best 1 player game ever. if you have a ps2 buy it seriously.

Fallout/2

Starfleet 2 on Mega Drive (I think it was on Amiga etc too), mining could get tedious but so fun and engaging.

Star Trek Birth of the Federation - fun on 2 player, can be very difficult to impossible on some settings.

Phantasy Star 2

Striker 96 - best footy game on PS1, although it was released very early so was OOP by the time all the drooling fanboys bought a PS1 and raved about Pro Evo

X:Com Enemy Unknown - you simply must own this game

Columns - the ignored cousin of Tetris

Chrono Trigger is probably my favourite game, although Shenmue and Half-Life 2 contest it a fair bit.

My list would be:

Shenmue
Pilotwings (SNES or 64)
FarCry (PC)
Warcraft II
Sid Meier's Pirates
The Movies (about 14 million times better than The Sims, not the same makers but comparisons can be drawn)
Power Stone
Soul Caliber 2
Knights Of The Old Republic
Monkey Island I & II
Grim Fandango

Hmm aside from "big titles" I'd only recommend No One Lives Forever. Spy spoof FPS.

Advance Wars is a fucking astounding game. Don't be fooled by it's cuteness; after a few levels it gets stpidly difficult (for me anyway)!
