The 'recommend one game' thread

[quetz67]

Please recommend your favorite game, on which platforms it runs, which version(s) is/are the best and what emulators it works best on.

Here we go:

Dungeon Master

- Amiga version runs fine, no saving yet, navigating through the dungeon is a little slow, arrow key support would help
- SNES version does not run yet as it needs DSP-2 support
- PCEngine CD 'DM: Therons Quest' runs great and controls great with button combination for moving. Not the original dungeon and save games freeze

Eye of the Beholder:

- Amiga versions crash and would need multiple disk support
- SNES version works perfectly, controls OK but doesnt look as good
- GBA version. forget this one

Edit your post when things change (new emulator versions out etc.)

U.N. Squadron
Great shooter, Playing it on the newest Y version of SNES. You can buy a bunch of weapons and upgrade your ship. 3 different pilots with different abilitys. Great game to play while your taking a break from all the RPGs.

Tales of fantasia on the snes9x Y 21 version.
Chrono trigger on same system
FF III on same system.

And the gf puznic on nesterJ.

Illusions of Gaia for the Snes

one of the best under-rated Snes games out there

its slow starting, but once you get out into the game, it kicks ass.

Lets face it. The reason people were dying for emus in the first place was to play Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6.

Harvest moon for GBC or the new one for GBA :)
it doenst seem like a fun game but it is lol

[The Coot]

My Recommendations for Each Emulator:
SNES - Star Ocean, Super Metroid, Tetris Attack
Genesis - Shadowrun, Beavis & Butthead, Phantasy Star 2 (Gunstar Heroes if you dont mind the slowdown)
NES - Maniac Mansion, Mike Tysons Punch Out, Sweet Home
Gameboy - Metal Gear Solid, Tetris, Resident Evil Gaiden
PC Engine - Dracula X
MSX - Metal Gear 1 & 2
Just a couple of my favorite games, good especially for when youre on the go

[Bigman79]

The much underated FF II (US), still hooked after all these years.

[Allius]

NES - Contra

[quetz67]

Lifeforce is a great shooter and the NES (while not the only version) probably runs best right now

Harvest Moon was actually adictive.

[ShenmueMe]

Star Ocean for the super famicon is awesome. Will play translated on the computer, but the .ips file will not autopatch to play translated on the PSP

But if anyone knows how to make the .ips file (the translation file) to auto patch on the PSP please spill your guts!!!

[Spades85]

Granted, I know that we cant emulate it yet, but...

Katamari Damacy (I doubt I'm spelling it right) is one of the most addictive games you can play for about 10 hours. I'd recomend any PS2 owner go and rent this if you have an open weekend.

[talking money no2]

you do know that you can patch the ROM with the translation patch using a program like ips XP, then just put the rom onto your psp and it will be translated, heck even the voice translation patch works kind of, its very jittery though.

NES - Smash TV

[makarman]

Lumines all the way!

[swisstony123]

Chrono ****ing Trigger for the snes
i cant believe i didnt own this game first time round !! :wall:

[revoler1]

:think: I think the best have to be for the snes, Super Metroid, Tales of Phantasia, and Chrono Trigger. :dance:

[snaynay1]

genesis= evander holyfields real deal boxing

tg-16= gradius and salamander. perfect arcade translations

nes= smb3 paperboy 1 and 2

[metallic88]

God of War for Ps2

[B-pops]

NES - Smash TV

that game ROCKS


EDIT: ahemm... oh yeah, my vote still has to be Chrono Trigger since it's all I've played for the past several days

[team7]

SNES: dragon view (great relatively unknown game and sequal to a terrible game)
Genesis: General chaos
Game Gear: first sonic (best of any system I think)
NES: Shadow of the Ninja

Tried to put games most people dont say because my favorites have been listed 999.9 times

[TheMysteriousThug]

SNES: FF3,Chrono Trigger, and Mortal Kombat
GB/C: Detective Conan Games
NES:Super Mario Bros.
