Your favorite games on each of the platforms that you've ever owned

[JaegerDice]

They don't need to be the BEST games by any objective measure. Just your favorites. The ones you have the greatest memories of, whether that involves how you got the game (saved up allowance for a year, xmas present), who you played it with, whether you associate it with getting through a tough time or associate with great feelings during great times, etc.

Here are mine:

NES: Super Mario Bros. 3
SNES: Super Metroid
Genesis: Gunstar Heroes
GB: Tetris
Saturn: Virtua Fighter 2
N64: Mario 64
PS1: Xenogears
GBA: Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Dreamcast: Rez
PS2: Final Fantasy XII
Xbox OG: Ninja Gaiden Black
GameCube: Resident Evil 4
3DS: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
PSP: Lumines
PS3: Uncharted 2
X360: Halo 3
WII: Mario Galaxy
PS4: Horizon: Zero Dawn
XB1: TitanFall (both)
Switch: Zelda Breath of the Wild



Xbox 360 was the toughest for me. It came out during college, so I have tons of memories of playing all night in dorm lounges with like 8 tvs linked up for Halo 3, or COD4, or Burnout... and Red Dead Redemption and Bioshock were great single-player games too.

Hmmmm, I think this is in the order I owned them except the PC. No I'm not old enough to have owned an Atari when it was new

Atari: Jumpman - Frustrating as all hell, changes the rules on you constantly, and hilarious death scenes.

SNES: Kirby Super star - Always loved the multiple game modes. (Side note, Kirby's Dream Course was also awesome)

Game Gear: Power Rangers The Movie - Seriously this might be my favorite tie-in game ever. It's a fantastic little fighting game with great chip music and multiplayer.

N64: Ocarina of Time

Gamecube: The REmake, though I could easily go with Pikmin 1 too. Tough call.

Game Boy Advance: Bomberman Tournament - It's an RPG, no it's a Bomberman game, okay it's both with some Pokemon flavor thrown in too.

PC: Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield - Also my favorite game.

Didn't get much Sega stuff as a kid.

Never owned a NES because basically all of my cousins had one...played SMB3 on that more than half of the games listed above. No Wii because f*** motion controls in the ear.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

I can’t remember systems before the n64 for some reason besides one I think

I played the GameCube but don’t remember what game it was.

I feel like this gen sucks for fun games. Idk maybe cause it’s still the main platform and the memories I would have are recent so it isn’t nostalgic but idk

A bunch of PC, hard for me to select one since I've had a PC in conjunction with the consoles for most of my life so it spans 25+ years as a "single" system, minus a 7 year gap from start of college until I got back into PCs
