Fire emblem, If Advance wars had a Baby with an Rpg this would be it... Except fire emblem came first so i guess Advance wars is Fire emblems child... Either way both Fire emblem and advance wars are awesome!!! Yoshis island is another epic game and anyone who does not own it should find one for their super nes.

The "xxx wars" series [Famicom Wars, Gameboy Wars, Advance Wars, etc] has been around since the NES [technically the Famicom as I don't believe it ever saw a release outside of the JPN region] although Fire Emblem has been around for some time.

I'm also trying to get Fantasy General to work on my computer. It's a DOS game though so I barely know what to do in order to get it to run.

Do a search in the interwebs for 'DOSbox', it's a good DOS emulator. I got Fantasy General to run through it.

Street Fighter 2 (and the expansions).

I still play Super Mario Bros sometimes too.

Starcraft

Red Alert 1 and 2

Original Half Life

Star Wars X-Wing Alliance

Beat X-Com again! And have begun X-Com 2. Man I've forgotten how unforgiving these old games were! A blast though!

Oooo...Secret of Monkey Island was re-released with new graphics on Steam! Must download!

Damn I wish I had cash to spare.I loved the old monkey island games.Funnily enough so did my mother.
Anyways...um....I don't know if you would call it a "classic" but I have always found the hobbit to be a nice game.Also I am a big Dragonshard fan(I don't know if you can define this as a classic either).

Monkey Island, good times.

"You fight like a Dairy Farmer!"

Chrono Trigger for the RPG.

The original Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was great multiplayer fun.


For a fighting game, I'll kick it hardcore NERD style:

Bushido Blade on PS1.

I loved that game.

How appropriate, you fight like a cow!

Wow, I'm feeling nostalgic at the thought of all these games. I'm gonna echo a lot of what's already been posted, but anyways, my favourite classics are (in no particular order:

Starcraft, X-com (1 and 2), Command and conquer, Worms, Master of Orion (1 and 2), Total Annihilation, Tekken (it's in my fav list because it's one of the few games I was good at), Max and Civ 2.

There are probably many more which I have forgotten, but damn...I'm now stuck remembering my teenage years of piss ups and long nights of networked computer games.

FF7
MegaMan 2
Pokemon Blue Version FTW

Blue? Real men choose Red.

A real mans pokemon doesnt die when it gets splashed by water
Blue > Red

No. No.


The Dreadnote was right

Red Alert 1 and 2. Though 1 was pretty much Soviet Tank Tsunami or lose.

These are my top three classic games. Not in any particular order.

wolfenstien 3d
zelda a link to the past
ogre battle 64

Evil Genius and Shadow Company.

I'd always have a Charizard by the time I got to Misty so I don't know what you're talking about, ah how I loved me my Charizard.

Games:

Crash Bandicoot
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
Close Combat: Battle of the Bulge (Won that as the Germans, oh man though did I send Pieper too far forward, still though he held out strong)
Close COmbat: A Bridge too Far
Red Faction 1
Golden Axe
TES III: Morrowind (don't know if it counts)
Alien vs Predator (PC version, game was Nightmare Fuel on the Marine Campaign)
AvP 2 (PC version)
Extermination (PS2 Survival Horror)

Lets see this will be a pretty long list:

Final Fantasy 1 - 9 barring the slight dip with FF8 they are all outstanding games.
Chrono Trigger - one of Squaresofts finest.
Sonic The Hedgehog any and all of them
Mario Kart 64
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Civilisation 2 + 3
Zelda Ocarina of Time
Breath of Fire 3 - absolutely superb RPG
Sreet Fighter 2
Tekken 2
Baldurs Gate 1 & 2
Icewind Dale 1 & 2
Fallout 1 & 2
Diablo 1 & 2

Yeeeh incase you couldnt tell RPGs is pretty much my favourite genre of video games, all the ones listed here have been completed at least once, in some cases 3 - 5 times.

Couldn't agree more, amazing game

Star Control 2 (free windows port available, called Ur Quan Masters) - one of the funniest games I've ever played.

Starcraft - Still the best RTS in the world, probably most played as well (meh, SC or WC3, close).

Dwarf Fortress

*hides*

Oh, RA1/2, not 3, that's gak.

SimCity4 I find very fun. Huge epic continent Cities FTW.

Advance Wars 1/2

Halo:CE is sometimes a good hit up for 4 Player (or sometimes 12 player) system link madness with mates. I still hold down that Blood Gulch > de_dust

Alpha Centauri is off the cheese with how fantastic it is. The diplomacy is quite standout for me, as is ruthlessly cleansing cities with my own designed Nerve Gas Bombers.

Age of Empires 2 just for the gaks and giggles. I play modded with no Pop Limit.

I almost forgot Evil Genius! I will be appropriating this game very soon.

sA

Dorf isn't that old as of yet IRC.

I agree about C+C Yuri superb game, am replaying my way through Blitzkreig at the moment

I hated Yuri's units. He had those annoying infantry that set your guys on fire and that fething overpowered Mastermind.

I play AOE2-3+expansions. I actually still have the AOE1 disc. Not an expansion, but the origional disk. Me and my brother love playing that.

Goldeneye and perfect dark are amazing.

Zelda wind waker is pretty close.

GTA 2. I was surprised not to see this one on anybodies list. Its free and a simple fun game in which I toss grenades into a crowded train stations before killing twenty police officers and blowing the car up by ramming it into a tank.

I'm trying to get my hands on resident evil 2. So far haven't found it, but I will.

Red Faction- love drilling threw walls
House Of The Dead 2-Fun shooter for the dreamcast good graphics at the time besides when a fat guy thanks you it looks like hes flipping you off.
Banjoo Kazooie-when I was 3 all I could think about was getting honey and throwing eggs.

My Fav ONIMUSHA the first one
Loved it and it scared me when i was 5 I loled always at the lighting sword.

Eh games I like seem like little people know em.

FF7, the actual game, the revamp's make me sick, purely to please fankid's

Cloud was a badass who didn't give a not an emo kid in the army

ever play raiden it's a retroy arcade game that i like
