Motivated by WesMordine's comment in the "worst games" thread, I decided to go ahead and make a topic for the best of the best. Arcade, console, iPod, Blackberry, whatever...let's hear about your picks for the best video games ever!

Here's some of my all-time faves, broken down by system.
NES 8-Bit
"Super Mario Bros." (the original still rocks!) "Super Mario Bros. 3" (excellent in its own right) "Metroid" (huge and often confusing, but great nonetheless) "Tetris" (the king of all puzzle games) "The Legend of Zelda" (a pioneer in almost every way) "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link" (incredibly difficult, but worth the effort) "Gauntlet" (second only to "Tetris" in puzzle games) "Double Dragon" (not the most faithful port, but I've still never beat it) "Double Dragon II: The Revenge" (well-crafted and a lot more fun than the first) "Mega Man 2" (best entry in the original lineup) "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!" (Mario as a referee; need I say more?)
Super NES
"Cool Spot" (blatant product placement, but I don't care; it's fun!) "The Mask" (same as above) "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" (a perfect blend of style and difficulty which still kicks butt today) "Super Metroid" ('nuff said...really.) "Super Punch-Out!" (better than the first in almost every way) "F-Zero" (cool adrenaline rush of a futuristic racing game) "Super Mario World" (who doesn't love Yoshi?) "Super Street Fighter II" (best version of the series) "Vegas Stakes" (perfect for gambling addicts who can't afford to lose money) "Final Fight" (it'd be better with Guy included, but otherwise it rocks)
Nintendo 64
"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" (a modern-day classic in every sense of the word) "Super Mario 64" ("It's-a me, Maaaaaario! So long, King Bowser!") "Star Fox 64" (a vast improvement over the original)

Off the top of my head:
Super Mario Bros. 3 TIE Fighter Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball 2001 The Dark Forces/Jedi Knight saga (minus Jedi Academy). Ocarina of Time Dirt Crysis Bioshock.
Geez, it's more difficult than I thought to choose the Best Game, moviefan!
I guess I could possibly select a favorite for each category.

Geez, it's more difficult than I thought to choose the Best Game, moviefan! It most certainly is; that's why my list was broken down by system. Speaking of which, here's my next category. Nintendo Gamecube"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Master Quest" (one of the most difficult games I've ever played in my life.) "Mega Man Anniversary Collection" (the best adventures on a single disc; I I never did find a lot of unlockables.) "Metroid Prime" (took up a ton of my time when it came out - still an excellent ride.) "Metroid Prime 2: Echoes" (soul-sucking mind-trip that burned me out on gaming for a while.) "Namco Museum" (who doesn't love the classics, like "Pac Man" or "Galaga"?) "Sonic Mega Collection" ('nuff said) "Soul Calibur II" (great graphics and sound; I almost always played as Link.) "Spider-Man 2" (I loved this game like crazy; swinging through the huge city was such a blast!)

What's the difference with Ocarina of Time Master Quest? Puzzles are harder & some extra Quests/Items. Directly from back of the box " a Second Journey though Ocarina of Time with newly laid out and Incredibly Challenging-Dungeons. Only True Heroes will make it though this quest alive."

Without doubt, for me it has to be "Dungeon Master" (and its follow-up "Chaos Strikes Back") for the Amiga and Atari ST. I still play it occasionally now (via an emulator) over 20 years after its release.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Favorite game of all-time. I probably played through it at least 4 times renting it on N64 and another 5 or 6 times after buying Master Quest. No matter how many times I play it I never get bored. The fantastic music doesn't hurt matters any.
Conker's Bad Fur Day - Its a tad challenging in spots but its one of those games that stick with you. Inludes such memorable sequences as a battle with The Great Mighty Poo, war with evil foulmouthed teddy bears, blasting away zombie squirrels, or getting hammered and pissing on your enemies. Well worth the price for multiplayer mode alone. I mean who wouldn't wanna be an evil teddy slicing and dicing a squirrel with a samurai sword.

Mega Man 3- The best of the early Rockmans in my opinion. 2 Was way too easy. Plus, 3 had all the bosses from 2 in addition to its own lineup.
Ninja Gaiden 2- I played this game so much I could clear most of the levels with my eyes closed. I am being literal here, I did it to impress my friends... and drive away girls.
Super Metroid- Another one I played to death. I cannot convey with words what this game meant to me.
Animal Crossing- That's right. Catching insects in a game. Wow. And you get to be creative too.
Mario 64- The power of 3d was truly revealed in this ground breaking title. Possibly Miyamoto's finest hour.
Shadow of Colossus- It's been a long time since any title has thrilled me on console.. and this one brought me hours of untold joy. It conveyed a sense of wonder and isolation. Plus, it's one boss fight after another. Who doesn't love boss fights?
Dragon Warrior 7- Huge and filled with great story after great story. An epic rpg with awesome mechanics.

It's very hard to reach a consensus on this. I will say that a lot of the originality in games appeared in the 1980s and 90s arcades, and then in the 1990s PC era - particularly in the development of FPS, RPG, RTS and simulation games, which had few arcade precedents. Much of what you see on consoles has its genesis in concepts developed for the arcade and for PC. Championship (Football) Manager >> any other game series ever. Anybody who's ever played it knows that. It is without doubt one of the most addictive games ever made.
