Best Video game of all time?

from the arcade in the early '80s: TRON galaga frogger centipede galaxian q-bert
from my nintendo 64: tetris (damn annoying, though) super mario brothers
(relatively) modern: legend of zelda series lufia raygun 2 final fantasy goldeneye tekken 3
out of all of these i'd have to go with the zelda series.
Resident Evil 4 on the gamecube. The ps2 version is utter, utter shite, they've turned what looks like a labour of love, on the cube, to a low res jittery pile of wankfest garbage! It's only saving grace is the extra levels and 1 extra weapon 
The old sonic games, so mint. Back on the Sega Megadrive. James Pond (the fish) was also quality.
Classics. 
ok, I'm pretty bored at work so..
atari 2600 combat (using those dial pads were fun) raiders of the lost ark (just cuz that themesong was awesome)
commodore 64 g.i. joe (theme song and variety of game play.. not because it took 30 minutes to load the damn game)
apple IIe Little computer people (pre-Sims) Ultima 1-4 Bard's tale 1-3
nintendo entertainment system Legend of Zelda Super Mario Bros. Castlevania Contra Metroid
super nintendo Super Castlevania Legend of Zelda Super Metroid Final Fantasy 3-4
n64 Super Mario 64
80's arcade: Yie ar kung fu (defined the pre-street fighter genre) Centipede Double dragon Gyruss
90's arcade: street fighter 2 golden axe Daytona USA
PS1 Final Fantasy 7 Ridge Racer Resident Evil 1-3
PS2 Resident Evil 4
PC Doom 1-3 World of Warcraft America's Army
Damn, I play a lot of games. ;)

I play the PS2 version with progressive scan and widescreen on.. it's not that bad. Granted, I never played the Gamecube version.

Could never get in to Zelda. Dunno why, just not my cup of tea. Same with Tomb Raider really.
my favorite of all time is "techmo super bowl" (techmo bowl was awesome too). my other favorites include, baseball stars, rbi baseball, road rash, contra, mike tysons punch out, & the madden football games.

i had a commodore 24. it had no hard drive and everything was saved on cassette; our TV was the monitor. i remember flipping back and forth between playing space invaders and watching the 1984 olympics in LA.
commodore 64 ws too advanced for the wood family.
HOW much did pheonix piss on space invaders
Still play it all the time.
Forgot 1942 as well.

Always had to go my friend's house to play the C64 at the time. Always hated that typically when the game was done loading, I had to start heading home.
Ah, the '84 Olympics in LA. My first Olympics experience. My mom had us record the entire series on VHS for memorabilia. That was a wonderous technology, the VHS.
DOOM !!
Bloody scary if you've got the sound right up.Got Ultimate Doom with 1 & 2,with the Doom 3 trailer.
we also had pong from radio shack. you could play tennis (green screen), handball (orange?) screen, and something else i can't remember (blue screen). the joystick was this long handle with a thing you'd slide up and down, thus sliding the 'I' up and down the screen.
pong was a game of strategy and wit. they should bring it back--i think today's kids would just love it.
Did anyone have an intelevision Console?There was a great primitive football manager on it..Out the same time as Atari(on which defender was shit-hot)Intelevision kind of lost the war to Atari,like Betamax did to vhs..There was only one other lad to trade games with at the time,but games like Tron were far better than Atari offerings,save the sublime Defender
i don't remember intelvision, but i remember colecovision. i was convinced it was going to drive atari out of the market. this is why i do not work in the business world.
Legend of Zelda for SNES... i was so obsessed with that silly game
Mario 64 the first game for Nintendo64 was so trippy
Half-Life was hella cool
Starcraft is near perfection for that type of game
Quake 2 was just fun trying to make my video card work, a game in itself
many old sports games, so unrealistic, but often captured the fun of the sport much better than "improved" games

Before i got all the command and conquer games for my PC, i completed it on my SNES emulator. Absolutely brilliant game.

Definitley Red Alert for me.
I couldn't get past Level 30 on Doom 2.That level where you have to go to the top to pull a lever,then jump down into this green shit.Then elevate to where there should be an exit,stand in molten lava,and get shot by all an sundry.Absolutely no way out.
