Title: favorite game (must not be a zelda game)
Post by: phantompig on October 07, 2005, 09:30:03 AM
Ello everybody. Now, I've seen many favorite zelda dungeon topics, favorite zelda boss topics, and favorite zelda game topics. How about a favorite alternate game topic. My favorite alternate zelda game is DK country 3.

Well, when I'm not saving Hyrule, I enjoy bouncing on Goombas and interrogating gaurds. In other words, I like the Super Mario series and the Splinter Cell series. I also like Battlefield 1942, and I'm sure I would like Battlefield 2 as well, if my computer were powerful enough to play it :( .

Another favorite game of mine is Civilization III. Also, I like games that are similar to Zelda, such as Faxanadu (for NES). Finally, and I think that many will agree with me, I 'm a fan of the Banjo-Kazooie series.

I love the Banjo Kazooie series too. And Mario is a given. But I also like non-series games like Rocket Robot on Wheels.
But one of my favorite series is the Myst series.

I don't want to be mean but I cannot think in other game that...you know, but if I had to choose another it would be Super Metriod for SNES, or DK country, I like StarCraft 64 too, and most of the Mario series.

If you wanna know what's my favourite game I'll give you a hint: it's about a princess, a brave hero and an evil king...ha ha ha

Ah, Robot on Wheels. I've spent many an hour playing that game. It's really fun, but I wouldn't consider it a favorite.

Well. I think Golden Sun: The Lost Age is the best, its great! My Favorite character, Felix! Cant wait for GS3!

if I'm not Zeldaing it, than anything Metroid will do, Metroid Prime is superb, but Zero Mission and Fusion are also a blast.  Trying to get the 15% endings (MZM) will keep you busy between Zelda releases.  Also I just finished Metroid Prime 2: Echoes on Hard, 100% and I nearly broke down crying....I wish Zelda games were that hard.

Post by: kamakaziplumber on October 09, 2005, 08:09:27 PM
Really? I was never a fan of the Metroid games. I just don't enjoy trying to find powerups I should have never lost in the first place.

But I digress. I forgot another one of my favorite games: Super Smash Bros. I really can't believe that no one else put this. I mean, SSB and SSBM are perhaps the best multyplayer games in existence. Why, you may ask? Because they never get boring, that's why! It's a fun game that you can enjoy over and over again.

My favorite games in no particular order are Legend of Legaia, Chrono Cross, Metroid: Zero Mission, Resident Evil (Cube remake) and Civilization III.

Devil May Cry. One and two. Mostly I just think that Dante is kickin cool!

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Only the first one; I have yet to get my hands on KOTOR 2.

I also enjoy the Metroid games, Super Smash Bros. + Melee, Age of Empires, Age of Kings, and Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.
Title: Re:favorite game (must not be a zelda game)
Post by: kamakaziplumber on October 10, 2005, 02:41:10 PM
How could I forget KOTOR 2?? That was an excellent game, both times around. In fact, I think KOTOR 2 was the only game I played twice by choice.

You need to play it, Alpha.

Post by: Evilslayer on October 11, 2005, 02:30:48 AM
Hmm, I wrote a top 5 list at another board (where I included the best game in each series). It was something like this:

1. The Legend of Zelda
2. Super Mario Bros 3
3. Prince of Persia
4. Tales of Symphonia
5. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

As you can see, if I disclude LoZ, then SMB3 will be at the top. ;)

Well, considering KoToR 2 was never finished, I think KoToR 1 is better. But I love KoToR, and how could I forget it?! (CHeck my sig for hints as to my favorite character).

Also Morrowind too, great choice Evilslayer! I played that games for such a long time because it was so open ended. I ended playing it all thr way through three times, each of a different House.

Aw, must not be a Zelda game? that cuts out like 9 choices :P


Definitely Final Fantasy IX, I mean c'mon, I've based my forum theme off a character from it.

After that, it's Banjo Kazooie/Tooie. They're great, and the only other board I visit other than Zelda forums is a BK board.

Title: Re:favorite game (must not be a zelda game)
Post by: Zelda Veteran on January 26, 2006, 04:22:57 PM
... ok ya got me, but fox has a giant star fox mother ship! and he dont need super speed or chaos controll, he learned everything from scratch. it had to take him years of training to get that good. and he made it into super smash bros melee. before it came out there were rumors that sonic would make a debute, but he never did. probably wasnt up for the compitition! ;D

3:ness has a built in homerun bat, might not do as much but still

PS fox might have a fox mother ship, but Sonic Has the Tornado and Tornado X

Quotemy fav. game is Sonic/Shadow the hedgehog

Meh, Sonic's been rather lame since it went 3D, in my opinion. Especially lately, when it suddenly takes place on Earth and the good old Robotnik is called Dr. Eggman.

I prefer Robotnik over Eggman any day. :P

I've got another one that I forgot about for a while. Most people never even heard of it but it's called Planet Blupi, it's a strategy/adventure game that I played for a long time, me and my sister would make new levels for one another and see who could get through first.
Since most people never heard of it I'll post a link.

http://www.ceebot.com/blupi/planet-e.php

(Yes I know it looks very dorky, and now people will think I'm 10 but I'm acctually 17.)

There's another one on the same site called Colobot, that is completely different, I like it too, but most people never heard of this one either:

I love the girl version, she is strikingly the same as the farmer boy.

It is great:
You get married to one of three bachelors/bachelorettes.

You grow crops.

You raise cows.

You socialize.

You have a baby boy.

You buy and sell.

It is so much fun! ;D

I agree. some things just cant be topped. there has been an eternal argument about weather sonic is better or mario is better. Frankly im sick of mario, and sonic games are much more entertaining. Sonic can do all sorts of things to takeout his oponent. what can mario do, jump?

QuoteSonic can do all sorts of things to takeout his oponent. what can mario do, jump?

That's a very unfair comparison. Mario can actually take out his enemies in a much more varied way, and while the old Sonic games were pretty much the same with only improved graphics the old Mario games differed MUCH more.

In that sense, the combat system in Sonic is pretty much a rip-off of Mario. Plus, at the height of his popularity (back when Nintendo earned more profits than all the big Hollywood companies put together) Mario was more well-known than Mickey Mouse.;)
