Anyways, I miss the Saturn days. I was an elementary kid, but my bro was in his teens so he’d have a job and always buy new games. So many good games for the Saturn.
mgo2 and cvs2
late 90’s railshooters like House of the dead , Virtua cop , and time crisis , etc etc etcetc
Sunset Riders
Resistance: Fall of Man in the early days of the PS3. That game was pure arcade madness, not to mention fully customizable games and map glitches that were actually fun.
Timesplitters 2. Unbeateble co-op, multi-player, challenge missions, and that fucking map maker. Once you got the multi-tap and your boys together it was GG. That game got so many spins in the PS2 after school.
Smackdown: Here comes the Pain. Top tier back when it was popping.
SSX Tricky. Nuff said.
Mario Kart 64.
Sonic 2. The races were sick.
Dynasty Warriors 3 & 4 and XL versions. I would spend months on these games with co-op, trying to unlock all the weapons, and maxing every character.
San Andreas. That game had everybody talking. Discussing the hoaxes, and trying to find the rare cars was mad fun.
SF2, Tekken 3, and MK3
Pokemon Red and Blue.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future, shit never got to shine in the USA due to copyright issues.
Also, the original Metal Gear Online was my shit. Used to love messing with the USMC clan and going head to head with them.
X-men vs Street Fighter was my -ish. One of my favorites to play at the local arcade when i was younger.
Wild Dog and Wild Fang, the coolest, most stylin and profiling antagonist in gaming.
The thread should be called games that lost their charm over time. Or games you used to like but got old after a while. The only game for me like that was maybe Dark Souls PvP. Not the game its self, but pvp wise it became nothing but people who did stack a ton of poise and walk through attacks and do nothing but backstab, or mash parry. Or do nothing but ninja flip and black stab. The pvp got pretty old after a while.
Super Mario 3 and Mega Man 2 for the NES. To this day I don’t think I’ll come across another game that has as much replay value…
Tekken and Soul Calibur has fucking lost it. Everyone and their mamas were hype for T3, TTT1 and the the first 2 Soul Caliburs when they first came out.
Now it’s just gross laziness and indifference.
Only reasons I still play TTT2 is because of the roster, Tekken Tunes, I’m still surrounded by offline comp, and the online is still gargantuan-ly better than fighters that has been ported or released AFTER it.
Only downfall is that only one person can select Cormano.
General Chaos with friends was so much fun back in the day, looked at videos of it a while ago and looks so simple now 
I have to agree with you pretty full-on here. FoM was amazing multiplayer.
This was my fucking game for three years.
This shit was my life.
Still plays in my dreams.

Magic that can never be recaptured.
Platinum indeed.
I miss Jagged Alliance 2.
Most bad-ass game I’ve ever played and it lacks any worthy spiritual successors and sequels.
Yeah there’s a modding community and shit, but they turned a cool turn-based strategy/rpg hybrid into a fucking real life simulator version 2000.
Megaman X series:
X1 to X5 was hella awesome. Things did not start getting funky until around X6, which has something to do with Inafune not being involved with the X6 production process. The same can easily be said for the Battle Network series. The first three games were spectacular, but Megaman Battle Network 4 came out (it was absolutely clear by how that particular game was set up)…
Sonic series:
On a general consensus, most people favor Sonic 2, Sonic CD, and Sonic 3 (along with Sonic 3 and Knuckles), SA1 and SA2. Things did not start getting weird until Sonic Heroes came out. The reaction to that game was relatively bipolar at best.
Then we had things like Shadow the Hedgehog and…
Spoiler
Sonic 06… I WAS going to mention this eventually…
Then Sonic Team started getting it together by Sonic Colors and the like… then Sonic Boom came out recently.
I miss old-school Resident Evil style graphics/controls/perspective. RE2 is easily my favorite game of the series. I hate it when game series feel the need to do, “More! MOOOOARR!” and in doing so, lose the magic of what made the first games special. At some point it was no longer good enough to have a simple but fun, survival horror experience, with puzzles and what not. Sometimes simplicity is best.
I miss the days when Tekken & Soul Calibur were beast, and putting out well-made titles! Nowadays all the Soul Calibur series is good for, is wacking off to the 3D babes. For a series that is otherwise past is prime, smoking hot game girls is the (1) thing it still does well.
Soul Blade, Soul Calibur, and Soul Calibur 2 are its best titles. Gameplay engine was great, presentation was on-point, and gimmicks kept to a minimum.
Tekken used to be so badass with a simple & sweet storyline but, they kinda got a little too ambitious for their own good. Too many stupid characters and the story is basically poop at this point. Now i know what you’re thinking…storyline in a fighting game? Yes but, Tekken was one of the few that actually had a competent storyline so, i expect more from them.
Bloody Roar…I’m sad to ask this but, anyone ever remember this fighter? It had such a badass gimmick and the first 2, or 3 games were friggin’ awesome. The last two titles…what happened? Very lackluster. It hasn’t done much since.
Street Fighter Alpha— Easily my favorite SF series ever. Animation style, music, gameplay engine, even the sound effects were Gold.
Old Runescape.
Sonic Adventure series hasn’t aged well. People who once loved it are now having mixed feelings about it. However I may have been too harsh on the Sonic series as a whole. The console games overall are just meh for the most part, but the hand held sonic games like the rush and rival series was pretty damn cool.
