Not counting Castlevania games, because most of us would choose a Castlevania as a favourite for each console, I'd like to post my favourites and ask for yours.
I think a personal favourites list can say a lot about each of us.
So here they are, these are my favourite games, one per console, not counting Castlevania.
I hope you like it! :)
GB: Gargoyle's Quest
NES: Gargoyle's Quest II
SNES: Final Fantasy VI
GBA: Riviera: The Promised Land

This is too difficult.
Hmmm I would have to think about it.
But I will say that for right now my favorite games on the gba and snes not counting cv is fire emblem and megaman X as the number 1 spot fe is number 1 regardless I have beaten it so many times that I can go through it without losing anybody it is abit disappointing that I could not play sword of seals. It has perhaps my favorite female fire emblem character( she is definitely in my top three maybe she even takes first place) take a guess who it is :P
-
Hmm, this'll be interesting.
NES: Legacy of the Wizard
GB: Gargoyle's Quest
SNES: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Sega Genesis: Sonic The Hedgehog 3
GBC: Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening DX
N64: Worms Armageddon
Playstation: Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped!
Playstation 2: Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening - Special Edition
Nintendo Gamecube: Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
Xbox: Halo: Combat Evolved
Gameboy Advance: River City Ransom EX
Xbox 360: Bayonetta
DS: Pokemon SoulSilver
3DS: Tetris Axis
PC: Baldur's Gate
I think that covers it for me. Admittedly though, I've never played a lot of N64 games, and the Zelda games just don't impress me that much. They're fun, but not even close to the best games ever, despite all that the crazy nostalgia-filled people my age may say. I liked the 64 'Vanias better, as well as Mario 64. Worms Armageddon is hilarious though, and I've spent a lot of time on that one. The Nintendo 64 is probably my least favorite console.

let's see
nes:hmmm... I like ninja gaiden yeah it took along time more than 10 yearsbut I did it.
gb:link's awaking: This is perhaps the saddest zelda game the ballad of the wind fish has made me teary at times :-[ :'(
Snes: Still megaman X it's tie with CVIV gradiusIII is also up there
Genesis: I do not have alot of games my self but, I have played abit from my cousin and such but, I would say maybe phantasy star II,golden axe, or streets of rage
Turbografx 16: I only have two games, four if I count the two on my wii and my favorite is none other than Y's book Iand II. I'm sure there is a Y's fan or two on the cvd ;)
n64: either super smash bros or zelda majora's mask
ps1:This is very difficult but I do love me some metal gear, and suikoden II is a masterpiece.
Staurn: Darkstalkers is some fun stuff, also space suit leynos IIRC it's a 2d mech game good stuff.
GBC: pokemon yellow or dragon warrior I/II
GBA: Fire emblem is perhaps the most played game for me on that system and perhaps the one game I have passed more than anything.
Dreamcast: Gradnia II Ryudo might be a smartguy but I see where he comes from and his story as well as the rest of the team will get back into it soon. After that would have to be Shenmue It's a very placid game and the reason why I wanted to get a dreamcast for christmas in 12' I like much more than gta or something like that.
GCN:Hmmm Legend of Zelda the wind waker is a big plus in my book.
Ps2 is really hard but, I do love me some onimusha 2.
Psp: mmmm...Peace walker is a good one in fact it was good enough for me to get it signed by the man himself.
Wii:an other hard one I do like other M :P skyward sword is ehh to me.
Wiiware: hmm I like megaman 9.
360: Dark souls and tales of vesperia take this one.
Xbox live: I like hard corps uprising all the others I have are ports of other games.Been awhile since I pluged this in.
ps3:As of right now I like tales of graces F
psn: megaman 10

Oh yeah, almost forgot 2 of them:

I didn't add N64 and GCN to my list because I've played only a few games on that consoles...
And I never played Saturn or Dreamcast with the exception of Castlevanias (Nocturne in the Moonlight and Symphony of Destruction, the MOD).
But if I had to choose...
N64: Ocarina of Time.
GCN: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.
-
The only systems that I've played that I won't add to this list is the Dreamcast and Saturn because I've only played a few games from them. It was hard to choose some of these, actually. When you take Castlevania games out my lists, most of these are RPGs. Oh, and I left the PS3 off because out of the 10 games I have for it, I couldn't really choose one.

SNES: Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars
Genesis: Sonic the Hedgehog 2

-
I didn't knew that you liked Mario games like that, great list.
-
I'll be a Mario fanboy till the day I die, I'd wager. Not that I don't have heavy criticisms of the series and certain entries; the whole "Peach is kidnapped AGAIN" lack of storytelling has seriously gotten on my nerves, wishing a Mario game could have a good story again like in Super Mario RPG, and I feel that the console New Super Mario Bros. games (not the handheld ones) are severely lacking in single player enjoyment factor. I just can't get people together to play video games that often so single player is of utmost importance to me.
But yeah, Yoshi's Island is my absolute favorite game of all time, beautiful in every way (the SNES version; the GBA one feels stunted and has that annoying Yoshi voice). Reminds me of a time when Nintendo were pretty much king of all things video gaming in my mind: the best, most ingenuitive gameplay with the most intuitive controls, the best graphics, (some of) the best music; now, I still love 'em, but they're really lacking in areas, music being one of them. (You just don't hear tunes like from SNES F-Zero or Star Fox anymore.)
-
Yeah, Nintendo in his best days, good times. Until PSX all my video games are from Nintendo :D (My dad have a Atari before that, sadly he stopped working, I loved to play Superman :( )
Hey, I know thats not the same thing, but if you want we can play something online.

Did you ever beat it? I'd like to add that one to my Atari collection but haven't seen it in the wild. It looks pretty good for an Atari adventure game from what I saw on the AVGN.
Hm I'm not seeing a whole lot of patterns in here (except maybe for a liking of old school jRPGs and Mario, and those generally were the most memorable of games from back then) which is good. It suggests that Castlevania appeals to a wide range of players. Some players love the challenge of ClassicVanias, some enjoy the exploration of the MetroidVanias, others just really like the Gothic atmosphere and setting of the games. And I suspect many of us here relish all three. I know I do.

too much game
-
Far too many to list on every system that I own. And I own a lot of systems.
gb:link's awaking: This is perhaps the saddest zelda game the ballad of the wind fish has made me teary at times :-[ :'(
I agree. The story invoked a kind of sadness that was never touched upon any other Zelda game. All the characters whom seemed so alive in that game were nothing more then an illusion created by the mind of a dreamer. If you really want a tear-jerking experience then read the official Zelda: Link's Awakening manga.
-
Link's Awakening and Final Fantasy Adventure -- who knew monochromatic gaming could make a grown man cry! But yeah, storywise Link's Awakening is just so damned depressing. I said FFA was my favorite GBA game, but really that was only because I played it so much as a kid. I feel bad for not mentioning Link's Awakening because you'll be hard pressed to find someone that actually played that game that doesn't get emotional when Ballad Of The Wind Fish plays. And yeah, I don't know if I've ever personally played any game where the ending was as sad and depressing as Link's Awakening. Maybe that's why I didn't list it as my favorite. I mean, I was emotional when the girl in FFA turned into a sapling, but really that's nothing compared to realizing an entire village and one of the sweetest girls in gaming history along with it was all just an illusion.
Actually I kinda take that back. Terranigma depressed the fuck out of me. It was so corny and cartoony, but it was so damned depressing the second time through because then you knew where Crysta was, what it was, who was living there, and what was going to happen to the girl you loved. Oh my god, that game wrenched my gut and crushed my feelings almost as hard as Final Fantasy VI, but at least FF6 had a happy ending. I've always thought Terranigma's was downright depressing and it didn't help that I think the ending theme is simply beautiful.
Ark fell into a deep sleep...
And Ark dreamt his last dream...
It was a dream of becoming a bird and seeing the world grown older.

Yes, its pretty easy since I did beat it all the time when I was 3 years old. I tried doing these days and simply cant beat it again :(
Maybe this game only makes sense to little childs?

You were beating games at age 3? Dang.. I hard a hard time with pokemon yellow when I was 6-7(needed my pops he was one of the few folks I know that could get pokemon to cap their lv"s which is what 99/100? I forget but, I think one of his cap pkmn was a dragonite which in the end IIRC he was not impressed) and for some reason I still do :P . The only one I beat by my self would be fire red, ruby was really hard for me for some reason and my 3ds does not read my soulsliver I got the dang 3 legendary shiny pocket monsters from that gamestop promotion.
-
Search for Super Bros. 8, its a Don Doko Don 2 hack. I've beaten it with 4 and its more difficult than Superman.
Super Mario Bros 8 Ending Famicom NES Nintendo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caitaHIbGCA#)
The Final Boss is easy if compared with the rest of the game.

I do too :)
-
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...*jazz hands*
Arcade - Double Dragon
NES - Ninja Gaiden for now. Probably have a totally different answer down the road. Too hard to pick just one on the NES.
Gameboy - Zelda - Oracle of Seasons
SNES - Mega Man X
Genesis - Streets of Rage II (Best beat-em-up ever!)
32X - Doom...I guess...
PC - Doom II (I always find myself coming back to play either this or the original all over again)
N64 - Zelda - Ocarina of Time
PS1 - Metal Gear Solid
PS2 - Resident Evil 4 (I've played this and RE2 so many times that I've killed any chances of future enjoyment)
GC - REmake
PS3 - Either Demon's Souls or Dark Souls (Can't decide if I like the Nexus or the open world better. Tower of Latria in its entirety is one of my favorite video game levels, period, though.)
DS - Contra 4
Xbox 360 - Bioshock
Wii - Zelda - Twilight Princess
Game Boy Advance - Double Dragon Advance (THAT is how you redo an old franchise)
PSP - MGS - Peace Walker (Metal Gear stories keep getting stupider, but damn this was a fun game)
EDIT - Aw hell, I forgot about Super Metroid. But choosing between that and MMX is impossible for me.
-
I've played RE4 so many times since its GameCube release yet I still enjoyed the shizz out of it on the PSN, heh. That really should be placed alongside my other favorite GCN games along with probably REmake and Eternal Darkness. But I can't be too greedy...
-
Yes, its pretty easy since I did beat it all the time when I was 3 years old. I tried doing these days and simply cant beat it again :(
Maybe this game only makes sense to little childs?
Because the system is so limited most Atari games that aren't Pong or "shoot the shape with the other shape until you beat your high score/get bored" don't make a lick of sense without the manual (which is a large part of the reason E.T. is so reviled today, people trying to play it without reading the manual) and some don't even with it!
Maybe you'd be able to beat it again with the instructions- Preserved on Atari age for historical purposes http://atariage.com/manual_thumbs.html?SoftwareLabelID=941 (http://atariage.com/manual_thumbs.html?SoftwareLabelID=941)
-
I know what to do, I need to put criminal in the jail, rebuild the bridge and save Lois Lane. But thanks, with this manual I know why the map doesnt make sense to me in these last times that I played it.
