Making lists like this are incredibly hard for me. I don't really rate games on any sort of numeric scale, more like The Completist scale of whether I would:

1. Not even finish the game out of boredom or frustrastion

2. Beat the game to get an ending

3. 100% complete the game

4. 100% complete the game 100 times

 

I generally say my favorite game is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and it definitely falls into category 4, I wouldn't doubt if I have beat that game at least 25 times.

 

After OoT it kind of gets wishy washy. I usually say that Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest is my second favorite, but that connection is definitely no where near as strong as OoT to first place.

 

Other games in category 4 for me (in no particular order):

-Animal Crossing: New Leaf

-Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

-The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

-The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

-Left 4 Dead 2

-Mega Man 2

-Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes

-Pac-man 2: The New Adventure

-Paper Mario

-Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door

-Portal

-Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

-Saints Row the Third

-Starfox 64

-Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

-Super Smash Bros.

-Super Smash Bros. Melee

-Super Smash Bros. Brawl

 

I've probably missed a few, but these are the games I come back to over and over again.

 

EDIT:

I'll list any that I forgot in the above list but suddenly remembered here:

-Minecraft

"In no particular order--" LIAR. They're practically alphabetized.

Oh jeez!!!! 3 games? That's it!!!????
Okay. Let me figure this out... perhaps based on how often I play them and how much fun they are to play while I repeatedly play them. Hmmm...


NES: Legend of Zelda (Just played and beat it again in 2 hours. Fun stuff.)
PS2: Dragon Quest VIII

NES: Mega Man 3

 

DISCLAIMER: There was about a 150 game tie for the top 3 spots, so these are the three I'm mentioning. SOOOO Close to putting Final Fantasy 1 on there because I just went back through and beat it with four fighters. I like to challenge myself. I tried with 4 white mages, but the bosses revisited battles were taking over 8 hours and I didn't have that kind of time to screw around in the Temple of Fiends. I can only imagine the 40 hours it would've taken to beat Chaos had I got to him. :D

 

Also, a note about Mega Man games. I typically select robot masters in random order to increase the difficulty and strategies for added fun and replay value. ^_^

My all time absolute favorite game would have to be Spyro: Year Of The Dragon, the very first game I ever got, back when I was a kid. I played it so much, I mastered all the levels, and was able to beat in a day, which was pretty fast for a non-gamer like me. I enjoy a few games, but I'm not the type to sit down and play non-stop, but if it's Spyro, bring it. Preferably the games that came our for PS1. I'm a huge fan of the low poly designs and it makes me nostalgic.

Wow! I feel old. The first game I remember going to a store and buying was either Berzerk or Kaboom for the Atari 2600. :) And Spyro's awesome. Were you into games like Rayman, Crash Bandicoot, Gex, Croc, and that sort of stuff too?

Yeah thanks for that one Krys.

Nice little shot to the part of my brain that stores memories that I don't think of on a daily basis.

I played a lot of Spyto when PS1 was the condole of choice, and enjoyed every minute of it.

The first console I ever owned was an Atari 2600, so don't feel too old.

 

I had Berzerk, it was pretty decent.

I also liked Asterix, Asteroids (obviously), Canyon Bomber, Breakout, Galaxian, Dig Dug, Mario Bros, Joust, The Swordquest Trilogy, and I had a Dungeons and Dragons game, but I don't remember if it was for the 2600 or a later model.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

Crash, I used to play a lot on PS1 one as well. As for Croc, I used to play it all the time on my mom's PC. I plan to buy a lot of old games for when I move out. Reliving nostalgia alone, on my own apartment is life.

Yeah, I lived with my grandparents, so the Atari was already stocked with quite a few games when I moved in with them (age 6). As for NES games, I was the weirdo who had Bubble Bobble before Super Mario Bros. :D That was my first NES game. I still play the old games A LOT! I don't have the Atari anymore, but I do have Dig Dug and many versions of Breakout.
Thanks for making me not feel too old. I see most people on here are still in their 20s, and talk about first consoles that were big when I was in junior high. :)

You're so lucky. I missed out on the PS1 era. I got a PS1 after the PS2 came out. I had all the Nintendo systems though (... including Virtual Boy... -_-) Everyone was playing PS1, so when I talk about games like Croc and Crash Bandicoot, it's from the window shopper point of view. It's the "Oh! I wish I had those when I was younger because they looked so cool in all the previews and game magazines!!!!" I feel you are quite fortunate.

You could easily buy those games online for cheap prices, or download them as emulators. I for one prefer to play on the console, because of the controller. But there's some app that can allow you to use it on the PC as well.

Yeah, I prefer to play on consoles, as my computer is pretty much garbage. Money is an issue too, so even a cheap purchase isn't plausible most of the time. :( One day though!!! :D

Super Smash Bros (N64, although Melee on cube was as awesome)

Assassins Creed (can I just sum them all up into one? But IV and Rogue are my most recent AC faves)

Age of Empires 1. (yep, the original is just tops)

 

17+ years of gaming.

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted (Sega Mega Drive) Castle would've been the first game I ever played. But can't say it's anywhere near the best, from what I remember.
