lately, i was trying to figure out what my favorite game of all time is (why? boredom does some wierd things to humans, don't you think? ;) ). of course, the first game that pops up is Final Fantasy VI. but now that i come to think of it, it's not so fair to compare oranges with apples, so i came up with this question..
post the games that really stands out for you in each genre. something that really impresses you. sth striking. sth that made you think "hmm.. never knew this genre could be this fun!". you don't have to post the games in the genre you don't play though, since "favorite" doesn't mean "least worse" (at least in my book) ;)
 
my favourite fps: half-life
my favourite sports: tony hawk's pro skater 3
my favourite light sabre fest :) : Jedi Knight 2
 
Platform:
Super Mario Bros. III (FC)
very old. actually i have quite a lot of favorite platform games in the days of the Famicom, but i chose this because it's the very first one i played and it really impressed me up till now.

Fighting:
Street Fighters (SFC)
oh man.. a skinny guy like me that can stretch out his hands across the screen and spit out fire.. wow..

Sports:
Winning Eleven 4(PS)
the very first sports game i was exposed to was actually Winning Eleven (SFC). it was great fun in its time, but i didn't choose it cause i wasn't really addicted to it at that time (not to mention that i was very bad at it ;) ). but since i started playing WE4 with my friends, i was completely addicted. a 2 player match against my friends is never old. it's so good that it's the only game i play when i go to my friends house.

Simulation:
Championship Manager 3 (PC)
my friends were totally crazed about this game since the 95/96 version. i didn't have any interests in football back then, so i didn't really have any interests in it. but now i know..

Racing:
Super Mario Kart (SFC)
this is a classic for me. undescribable..

Console RPG:
Final Fantasy VI (SFC)

Fighting: Killer Instinct Gold (n64) This has to be the fastest and most timing-dependent game ever made. It is also a possibility that I am one of the best players in the world. Playing since it came out, along with my dad and friends, we went to a local tourney a few years back and the people there tried changing the rules around to screw us over because half the people dropped out after we got there... .it sucked...

Starcraft
