[i]Transport Tycoon! Nice one Drac. [/i]

Loved that game had a huge Tycoon going massive railways, roads and airports that I could afford to upgrade the vehicles every year. For some reason though it would always crash at a certain point so never got to see just how much my empire would be worth.

- Riven (PC late 90s)

If you were into Transport Tycoon, check out

http://www.openttd.org/en/

It's an modern open source clone, so has loads of extra bits added over the classic.

UFO Enemy Unknown
F16 Fighting Falcon (Atari ST)
Elite (Atari ST)
GTA 3
Wip3out

Those are the ones that left me breathless at 3am night after night wondering what the hell this weird reality surrounding me was after quitting the game...

Played other good games but those 5 were the ones that were on another level entirely.

COD4 (online) PS3 ( I love killing real people!!)

Goldeneye N64

Mario Karts SNES

Halo 1 Xbox

Sonic the Hedgehog Megadrive

I also highly rate GTA 3 on PS2, on another day when feeling less nostalic that might knock Sonic off of the list.

Chronologically:

1) Manic Miner (speccy)
2) Deuteros (Amiga)
3) Sensible World of Soccer (Amiga)
4) ICO (PS2)
5) Super Stardust HD (PS3)

I'm playing one now - Demon Souls on PS3 - that could break in to that list even though it's an unforgiving, maddening, makes-you-want-to-throw-it-in-the-bin bastard of a game.
