I was just having a late night chat with one of my fellow night-shift colleagues, Ben about video games and that lead me to the idea of starting this thread! Some of my all-time favourites: **Sega Mega Drive** Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2 & 3, and Sonic & Knuckles Toejam & Earl 1 & 2 Streets of Rage 2 Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker Kid Chameleon Golden Axe **SNES** Super Mario Kart The Legend of Zelda : A Link To The Past Super Mario World **Sega Dreamcast** Shenmue Shenmue 2 Crazy Taxi Soul Calibur Sonic Adventure Jet Set Radio **Nintendo Wii** Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 Mario Kart Wii The Legend of Zelda : Skyward Sword **PS4** Uncharted 1, 2, 3 (as a trilogy) Uncharted 4 Uncharted : The Lost Legacy The Last of Us Infamous : Second Son **Others:** The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 3DS, I never had an N64 so only played it in recent years on the 3DS, but this game deserves all the praise it gets) The Legend of Zelda : A Link Between Worlds (3DS) Mortal Kombat - I’ve played pretty much every game, from the original all the way through to the most recent one, Mortal Kombat X. For sheer OTTness, MK Armageddon was a lot of fun! If I had to pick my favourite game of all time, it would be **Shenmue 1 & 2**. It’s so beautiful, engrossing, and at the time, there was just nothing else like it. There would be no open world genre without it, and I can’t wait for the long awaited Shenmue 3 to come out later this year or early next year (I’ve been waiting 17 years for them to make this game!!!). I am hoping that SEGA will re-release the first two games on a modern platform so that people can play them before jumping into 3 - it’ll be a much better experience than if folks have to just watch cut scenes of the main plot points from the first two games. As for what I’m currently playing… **Yakuza 0** on PS4, after which I’ll jump straight into Yakuza Kiwami, which is the remake of the original Yakuza game. It’s been said many times but Yakuza in many ways is similar to Shenmue. Aside from Shenmue 3, my other most anticipated game would be The Last of Us Part 2. And I’m hoping to get a Switch at some point so that I can finally play Zelda : Breath of The Wild 😀 So… what are your favourites and what are you playing at the moment? ---

My favourite “pick up and play” type games were probably Mario Kart: Double Dash on the GameCube and Mario Kart DS on the first gen DS. I used to play the DS one online a lot when I couldn’t sleep! My favourite all time game is Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I think they managed to capture the epic feel of the original game but in a breath taking modern way (at the time). The sequel, Mankind Divided, is pretty decent IMO but I can understand where the criticism of it comes from - not to mention they set themselves a very high bar. I’m currently distraught that the series has been parked ☹ ---

I think this just about sums it up… ![22](https://cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/monzo/original/2X/c/cc83e0f284581fdc6af24b290dfc4047001cedea.png) And not on PC, my fave game ever is probably Final Fantasy X. Such a wonderful RPG. I’m also currently playing Undertale (finally) and having an absolute blast 🙂 ---

> [@HoddzDJ](#): > > Did you back this on Kickstarter? I cannot wait to get it!! I did, to the tune of £250 or more as I recall, which is more than I’ve ever backed anything on KS. I played 1 & 2 both on release (and then the version of 2 that came out on the OG Xbox) so I’ve literally been waiting 16/17 years for the third game! The Shenmue fan community has been really awesome over the years and it’s so amazing that our patience is being rewarded finally ☺ Gonna get Ryo out of that cave he’s been stuck in for the better part of 2 decades 😂 ---

I played 1 when I was like… I dunno 10 or 11 probably? At the beginning I had no clue what the hell I was supposed to do or how but over time I came to love playing Space Harrier and being a forklift driver… what a relaxing experience 😛 ---

Latest addiction is Mario Kart 8! Anyone fancy a bit of Baby Park!? 🤩 I have fond memories of Top Gear 2 on the SNES and Street Fighter 2 (and Turbo). Super Mario 3 on the NES. Also Tetris and Zelda on the Gameboy. 😍 ---

> [@simonb](#): > > Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker I played this for hours I’m sure, loved it so much! Lately I’ve been playing Horizon Zero Dawn which has been great, and not a lot else. I game in phases, can go months without picking it up but when I’m in the mood then I’m lost for hours at a time. ---

I was a big World of Warcraft player back in the day. That’s probably still my all time favourite game, not just for the fact the story and content were great, but I met some great friends who I’m still very much in touch with. My PS4 on the other hand just sits and gathers dust usually. I am however currently playing through the Uncharted trilogy and really enjoying it, albeit very slowly. 😀 ---

It was all about Lander/Zarch when I was a kid: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/2X/1/151f26193b2f8612055ab12c7f2ab6fc25ba5160.png) I used to play games all the time: SNES -\> PS1 -\> PS2 -\> XBOX 360 -\> PS4/XBOX One but find I have no time anymore. I used to love playing the Final Fantasy series but haven’t even taken the shrink-wrap off my Final Fantasy XV Collectors Edition yet. I find myself playing the Telltale Games at the moment, the short ‘episodes’ seem to work well with the time I have available to actually play the games! Just waiting for Episode 5 of Season 2 of Batman. I’ve played all of them except Guardians of the Galaxy but I’m really looking forward to the last ‘season’ of The Walking Dead. ---

Mine has to be overall - Ocarina of Time.

Not really a video game as such but I played this every day as a kid on teletext 😉 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/2X/6/6e4a07f8331f909934ff7a30b9b27750732e98a0.gif) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/2X/5/5ee4025cd6ae9195a56aa33e150f756e1638b931.jpeg) ---

At one point I managed to “hack” Bamboozle because I discovered that the correct answers were numerically sequential with regards to the 3 digit page codes on Teletext, or there was a pattern, or something along those lines. Lost interest after that 😁 ---
