What's your favorite game from each generation?
« on: May 09, 2020, 04:16:53 pm »
I know this is a difficult question but I think I've got my answer

1st Gen: Pong (for lack of a better answer)
2nd Gen: Pitfall on the Atari 2600
3rd Gen: Tetris for the NES
4th Gen: The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past for the SNES
5th Gen: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the PS1
6th Gen: Tony Hawk's Underground for the PS2 (favorite game of all time)
7th Gen: GTA V for PS3
8th Gen: So far Assassin's Creed Odyssey for Xbox One but I'm still deciding.
9th Gen: (I count Switch as 9th gen) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild

Let me know what yours are!

Gen 3 - Contra
One of most memorable games from my childhood.

Gen 4 - Donkey Kong Country 2
Amazing ambient and soundtrack.

Gen 5 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Great narrative, I don't talk about the history but the way that history is conducted.

Gen 6 - Shenmue
I feel like i'm playing some of these fighting movies from the 80's, and i love it.

Gen 7 - Okami
I love the senses and oriental cultura, it's beautiful, calm and touching, same things that attract me in Zelda and Shenmue games.

Gen 8 - Super Mario 3D World
One of best local multiplayer experience that i've ever had.

3rd - NES - Super Mario Bros. 3
4th - SNES - Final Fantasy VI
5th - PS1 - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
6th - Gamecube - Resident Evil Remake
7th - Xbox 360 - Alan Wake
8th - PS4 - Resident Evil 2 Remake
9th - Switch - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Some of these were really hard choices, especially recent gens just because it hasn't been very long and there are a lot of other games that could easily have been put in their place. Also I wouldn't personally count Switch as 9th gen, but whatever.
