now some of you will say, there is allready a tread like this. but this is a different question. I want to know what games are really great. A great game is a game that never turn out boring. so i'm asking not what games do you like right now, because most games will turn out boring after a while. i want you to make a top [how many you have] about this. Every type of game is allowed.

this is my list of games.
1. Freelancer (with nomads revenge II) - this is just the best game ever, there is always some fun in the galaxy.
2. C&C - Red alert 2 - Yuri's revenge - the best RTS ever
3. Star Trek Armada 2 - I beleive this is the only 3d based RTS existing
4. Onlink - guess why...
5. Red Alert - a bit old, but always some fun
6. VOC - a dutch game, based on the trading across the sea in 1602

these are my favorites ones

1- GTASA
2-UPLINK
3-battle realms

1. Act of War - Awesome RTS with real-movie videos. Brilliant graphics too.
2. C&C Generals: ZH - The most versatile RTS I've ever played.
3. F.E.A.R - Scared the shit out of me. Literally. Plus the graphics are awesomely sexy.
4. Onlink - Hacking + Game = Teh Pwn.
5. Diablo II (w. Lord of Destruction) - Clever, fun, long shelf life RTS with no Pay2Play bullshit.

YEs Act of war is great.

1. BF1942 Desert Combat (I like The helicopters)
2.Sonic (speeed)
3.Ports of Call (Go park your ship)
4.Dynatec (i fly past the moon and get rich)

6.Sim City (I like seeing my city grow)
7.Great Giana Sisters (because they kick marios ass)
8.EON (i think noone knwos the beauty of evultuion anymore)
10.Lemings (what?! no diggers left?!)
11. NFS3 (i tuned my car to hit 500km/h)

15.Megalomania (I nuke the shit out of you)
16.Worms (Want a sheep?)
hmm
if i think long enough i will finde surly much more

In terms of classics, my favourite is Asteroids. I used to play it as a kid on my Amiga for hours and hours. I beat it twice in one day once. Considering there are 99 levels, plus a bonus level, I'm pretty proud of that.

The Worms series (by Team17 I believe) was good, but I get bored of it.

Sonic was a fun game. First one rocked, the rest weren't as good. Sonic 3 was awful.

You know what I want? That Mario game. You know, the one where the enemies on the first level are mushrooms and there's flower thing on the top of a pyramid of blocks which gives you an extra life (I think). C'mon, someone must know what it's called!
I loved that game, but I could never remember the name of it. Someone tell me it!
I think it was the first one to use the official Mario tune on the first level.

I only know "mario land" on GB and SNES.

Talking about classics, when a was a kid i had this game called 'mystical pyramid' (i guess) that was really a fun game. it's about getting deeper and deeper into a pyrimyde to the treasure. each level getting harder and harder. there were 999 levels, and i completed it. just something to notice, on the last level i spend 3 weeks. maybe now you get why i'm proud of that. i really played that game for 3years. i started when i was 4 and ended when i was 7. but i can't find it anymore. i'm thinking about re-creating it. but creating 999 levels, with things like laser, wind, moving stones, mirrors, jumping arrows, nah. anyway, the end movie (yes on ms-dos) was really worth playing trough all that levels.

1. Up/Onlink - I just love it
2. Darwinia - great graphics, great game
3. Diablo II - it's just fun.
4. Warcraft 3 - a great RTS game, with fun additions.
5. Starcraft - absolute classic.
6. The original C&C - it was a great concept to start with.
7. EV:Nova - pure unadulterated awesome
8. Xenos - just because.

Starcraft: BroodWars
F.E.A.R. Scary little girl...
Battlefield 2
Fable: Lost Chapters
Worms series
Zelda Series

That Mario RPG for SNES was pretty good... something about 7 stars...
