[Living-In-Clip]

• Nights
• VF2
• Guardian Hero\'s
• Resident Evil
• Mario 64
• Zelda: OOT
• Street Fighter Alpha 2
• Panzer Dragoon
•  Soul Blade
• Half-Life
• Quake
• Strider 2
• Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo

Final Fantasy VIII and IX- I never really got into 7 as much...don\'t ask me why

Zelda: OOT: Incredible game, my favorite for N64

Goldeneye 007: I spent countless hours playing the multiplayer stuff with friends.  No game was as fun with 3 other people

Mario 64: The first N64 game I had, and an incredible game overall.  It was huge, it seemed, and I spent a ton of time playing it.

Nights: I have to agree, this was a great game.  The earlier masterpiece of this era that I enjoyed.

In chronological order :

Battle Arena Toshinden

Warhawk

Wipeout

Resident Evil

Tobal No2

Super Mario64

WaveRace64

Vandal Hearts

Wild Arms

PoyPoy

Panzer Dragoon Saga

Gran Turismo and GT2

Those are the most influential 32bit/64bit games I played.

Definately Final Fantasy VII. I might have just completed it a few weeks ago, but this game must be one of the best I\'ve played, ever!

Since Sonyfan likes part 8 better, I think I might have to give it a try. I\'m on FFX now, but after I\'ve completed it, I\'ll make sure to check out for part 8 and then 9.

Easily the most memorable is Final Fantasy VII.
Then comes Metal Gear Solid.

-Super Mario 64

Was the flagship game of the Nintendo 64, which displayed next generation technology.

-Turok 2

Probally the only game that really brought the N64 to new heights in the visuals department. Made good use of the expansion pak, and was the game that was forever mocked with having a fps issue.

-Goldeneye

This is what made Rare gold. Yes, I know they had a past history in the SNES era, but this was a huge success that sold N64\'s for a long time.

-Donkey Kong 1,2,3 (SNES)

These titles really made the SNES shine, again another Rare classic.

- Sonic Adventure (2)

Dreamcast\'s flagship title as well. Displayed various technalogical advancements. Sonic 2 raised the watermark even futher.

Since Sonyfan likes part 8 better, I think I might have to give it a try. - seven

Aight man, good choice, just don\'t flame me if ya don\'t like it. FF8 is the kinda game where you either love it or hate it, there really isn\'t an inbetween about it. FFVII is still best in the story department, so don\'t expect FF8 to blow you away. It really falls apart in the 4th disk IMO... but still good overall.

Anyhow, since you can probably buy it for the same price as you could rent for a few days I\'m jus gonna go ahead and recommend you buy it. It\'s a good RPG.. but dosen\'t fit in all that well with the FF series. One piece of advice... when you get a Guardian Force capable of refining magic from item and then refining low lvl magic into higher lvl spells.. rely on that for your spells. Don\'t waste time drawing unless it\'s something really high lvl like Ultima. On disk 3, go to Cactaur Island and lvl up your GF\'s to get the abilitys much faster.

Zelda Ocarina of Time.... owns FF7

OoT = Platformer, FFVII = RPG. Silly comparison.

Most memorable... in no particular order (except for FFVII being the highest ranking one) :

Final Fantasy VII
Mario 64
Zelda : OoT & MM
Tekken 3
SoulBlade
R-Type Delta
Gran Turismo
Silent Hill
Vagrant Story
Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo
Time Crisis
Metal Gear Solid
Mr. Driller
wipEout 2097
Wild Arms
Resident Evil

Mario 64.
Goldeneye.

I never was very into PSX during that era. I\'ve become broader in tastes and have gotten into PS2 and whatnot now, though. But I am perhaps the pickiest gamer in the world.

I\'m guessing I\'m going to be in the minority here, but as a guitar player/musician, my most enjoyed game from the 32-bit era was Mr. Bones on the Saturn. Really cool game concept with tons of different gameplay styles. And pretty good music, too. I mean how could you not love a blues guitarrist who comes back to life as a skeleton and takes out an army of evil skeletons

Mine would have to be Little Big Adventure2 which was on PC.....that game was increadable, both innocent and twisted, lovely and mysterious...you should all play it (although, it\'s very hard to find nowdays)

Woah thanks for the tips SonyFan. I didn\'t see it until now... anyway, I\'ve just completed FFX and I\'m on my second way through the game, but I can already say one thing for sure: Square is becoming more and more my favorite dev... I\'ve only played 2 FF as of yet, but I can\'t wait to experience the other parts. I\'ll start of with FFVIII and see that I can follow your advice. Thanks again.

Associating FFX with increasing your love of Square sounds terribly wrong.

FFX in 2002 is a poor man\'s RPG. I never want to go back to THAT kind of battle or storytelling, especially when other games do it so much better. Square loses more and more of my respect with every game they release. Chrono Trigger is still one of my favorite games of all time, but they have never advanced after that.
