What are the most exciting video games you've played? I think Super Metroid 3 and Legend of zelda Link's awaking are the best.

I'd have to agree Link is a very good video game but I also like Contra Super Mario Bros (the Super Nintendo version) and for computers I would say Myst, you don't know jack, & minigolf deluxe

The best console games in history are, and always will be, 'Super Mario World' and 'Super Mario Kart' for the Super Nintendo.

I use to love NBA Jam for Nintendo.

coily2 · 09-10-2001, 08:29 PM

Doom. It did so much for computer games. I love Doom.

Dude111 · 06-23-2022, 10:36 AM

I would say MSPACMAN

I love early 80s arcade and early 80s consoles (Atari,Colecovision mostly)...... THE BEST GAMES EVER MADE!!

"most" exciting seems like a strange way of describing it, since most games that I am aware of just keep adding bad guys and increasing speed until you reach sensory overload. Sort of like sticking your thumb in an empty light socket that is fed by a dimmer switch, and having the person turning the dial encouraging you to tell them when you are having "fun"..

As far as "enjoyable", I really enjoy M.A.M.E. Getting all those old arcade classics to run on my computer is fun. Some require considerable tweaking to get running, and that's half the fun.

Dude111 · 06-23-2022, 01:30 PM

Yes its funner using the actual console though I will say!

Caroline13 · 06-23-2022, 01:41 PM

Space Invaders
Turbo

I think Skyrim, Oblivion, Mad Max, Borderlands have been exciting at times.

The most exciting time I remember at an arcade was playing Gauntlet with friends.

And also playing Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Sega) with a friend until we completed it was fun and exciting.

When my daughter was younger and we first got the Wii, playing Bowling, and Tennis, and another game we bought that had games like Yard Darts was fun playing with her and nieces and nephews.

The Mass Effect Trilogy. No way could I pick just one. That series has absolutely everything. Amazing and emotional plot, fantastic game play, deep deep lore, choices that felt significant and impactful, characters that you care about, and aura of mystery and intrigue, lasting good graphics, and despite what a lot of people feel, an awesome ending.

I think for the most part you like the games you're good at.

I was very good at the two person baseball and football arcade games that came out in the 70's and 80's. i was also a really good pinball player.
