i go for the Silent Hill game the first one on the psx, i just buyd one of them psone used and i love the game, it has everything... scary monsters, a soupede up horror story and guns!!! I LOVE IT!!!

my second choice would be the alien breed game series from the amiga days

Alien breed rocks, but my avatar gives that away i guess

i voted 4 res evil as well, tho was close as loved the atmos in the 1st silent hill

The "damn we have a near zero clipping distance! I know.... fog!" atmosphere? Yeah, art direction of silent hill, but it wasn't a close call for me. Resident Evil by far!

they don't make em like that any more.

I love the sound of the doors opening on that game.

Even to this day when I play it thru emulation when the game loads and you get the soundtrack, sends chills.

I loved playing that game.

Is it as scary as the Microsoft windows default sound though? I think not

:-o

You're right i hate that sound!!!

There is something about it!

While on the topic of survival horror games and alien breed.

When you look at the differeence in those two games and the gap between them 93ish - 2004 it's amazing how far games have come.

I remember the days of amiga (or even BBC Micro) and NES and those games now pale in significance with the raw power and gameplay of new gen consoles!

Wonder where we'll be in 2014 and will it still be RE or will that be retro?

And only 10 votes come on you lurkers get voting!!!!

u mean those aliens ARENT bill gates? way to ruin my childhood

personally i liked alien breed 2 and tower assault joint best, but i agree they dont make games like that... except that one company actually does sort of, they produce modern games in teh style of the old point and click games like the original monkey island, beneath a steel sky etc,

games like that had more playability and story then a lot of games today (resident evil aside) i could still play the original monkey island or the kings quest games or beneath a steel sky etc anyday

it's moore's law in action

Think about it, processor transistor depth doubles every 18-ish months, which means that in 36 months time its four times better, in 54 months its 8 times better, etc. because it doubles the value that has previously doubled each time.

Hmm why didn't I just say quadratic?

That means dramatic changes in a short amount of time. However, as I've posted somewhere in your absense I believe, this is all going to take a huge hit on us come next generation. Graphics simply won't be wow factor in 1/2 generations time, and as everyone knows, not enough emphasis is on gameplay. Meaning development houses are going to be up shit creek unless they focus more on gameplay

I think its starting to hit Survival Horror just as much, especially fixed cameras. With pre-rendered backdrops, graphic improvement just isn't enough, and having played RE: Rebirth, if the formula isn't changed, that's about it for the franchise, no place to go.

well im of the kind that if i own 2 or more of a collection on original i like to buy them all on original, which is why i own resident evil gun survivor even after playing the jap import months before

ps if anyones feeling nostlagic for games with good gameplay how it used to be

btw whose moore? patrick "gamesmaster" moore? also resident evil 4 looks like a step in the right direction for the franchise adding a pretty radical direction for re

Thats what I mean, I think we've peaked in a way and games need to relay now on playability rather then : Which is what I believe Nintendo always hit!

They have the graphics, but always the gameplay too

It's why I've always like the big N!

don't let d0c see that But you can get xbox emulators for all the best consoles and platforms *cough*snes*cough*

lol like i said, i did buy it on original when it came to the uk so its not like i was ripping anyone off, tehy still got my money

Oh I love the retro stuff just as much as every1 else.

But Nintendo NES/SNES always ruled in my house!

In fact thats what I play in my new gen Console machine!

Snes/Amiga games :S

my amiga was beaten up by a tv. Was too flimsy and my friend drop a tv (and an 80s aka huge ugly tv at that) on it, and it wouldn't boot.

Bugger

500/600?

Or was you a flash git and got the 1200 or over? hehe?

Mines just about on it's last legs lost some keys and getting knackered, thank god for xbox/emu

lol i had 2 amiga 1200s, the floppy drive went in one and then the other one jsut blew up, heres a caution kids, cola and amigas dont mix lol

now that's something about the snes, best made console... ever. That took a right beating, we're talking watching russel crowe act kind of beating.

NES on the other hand is totally kaput... but the snes was/is simply one solid lump of japanese labour Master System was another well constructed piece too.

oh and this answer the other question:

<img src="http://www.betuwe.net/~mellemab/homecomputers/images/commodore/Commodore_Amiga_600_Large.jpg" width="600">

i was a master system/megadrive man rather then nes/snes

if its a russell crowe style beating where was tugger during it all (joke for south park fans there)
