My Favorite Game From Each Console/Handheld (PC too!) I’ve Ever Owned

by riostarwind

After seeing the forum post about it I figured I might as well use the list feature on this site to note the games I think are my favorite games from each console. Depending on the day this list could easily change slightly so this is really only valid till I finish typing out this list.

Showing 1-10 of 26 items

Kirby's Adventure

Kirby's Adventure

Nintendo Entertainment System: The pink puffball named Kirby finally came into his own unique platforming adventure. With the addition of his copy ability which he didn’t have till this point. Making it a memble game for me and the franchise itself.

Pokémon Red/Blue

Pokémon Red/Blue

Game Boy: Pokemon was a infection that seeped into the minds of many kids all over the world. Including me and this was where it started. A simple game about collecting monsters in your pocket turned into a never ending onslaught of games/figures/movies/etc that remain popular to this day.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Super Nintendo Entertainment System: This was where Nintendo refined the formula for Zelda series. Turning a okay action/adventure game into one that is pretty much timeless. Exploring the land of Hyrule to collect items to solve puzzles is never not fun to do.

Rocket Knight Adventures

Rocket Knight Adventures

Genesis: Following in the footsteps of the cavalcade of other mascot platformers Konami decided to make this gem. Turns out giving a possum a rocket pack can lead to some fun level design. Plus the mix of standard platforming levels with side scrolling shooter levels keeps it from getting boring.

The Majors: Pro Baseball

The Majors: Pro Baseball

Game Gear: All I’ve got is memories of it at this point since my Game Gear broke a while ago but I spent quite of bit of time playing this little baseball game. It doesn’t do anything special other than being a good game to play on the go.

Die Hard Arcade

Die Hard Arcade

Sega Saturn: The Sega Saturn was something I picked up later in life but I had to pick up one of my favorite arcade games when I bought it. It has nothing to do with the movie other than the name. Making it just a cool little 3D brawler.

GoldenEye 007

GoldenEye 007

Nintendo 64: This was the start of my love for FPS games. It may not play like this anymore but whenever I revisit it I still enjoy playing through it. Something about running around everywhere blasting everything without really trying is still fun.

Mario Tennis

Mario Tennis

Game Boy Color: This game is remembered for a reason. Aka the RPG elements that make it a bit more than just classic tennis on the go.

Final Fantasy VII

Final Fantasy VII

PlayStation 1: This certainly doesn’t hold up graphicly anymore. But it did ignite my love for JRPG’s for quite a while. Plus it did show me a grand adventure on a worldwide scale too. Since I never played a RPG like this till this point in time.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Game Boy Advance: I’ve played through this game so many times since it was released. This game really showed me how much fun exploring a mini 2D world could be. Plus the soul system gave me a lot of different ways to deal with enemies or the environment.
