My 10 most played games ever.

1 - Contra (NES) - Ha, good memories. Everytime I go home, my friends and I beat this game. It's like a tradition for us.

2 - Vampire Savior (SAT) - Played the hell out of this too. Great gameplay, hidden animations, overall excellent game.

3 - Street Fighter 2: Turbo (SNES/PS) - No explanation necessary. This is another one of our traditional play games. Getting the PS version gives us the original soundtracks and sprites (for the perfect arcade feeling).

4 - King of Fighters 98 - (Neo Geo) - One of the best (if not THE best) of the KOF series.

5 - King of Fighters 94 - (Arcade/Neo Geo) - I remember all the quarters my friends and I used to drop on this puppy back in the day. The original that started it all.

6 - Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike - (Arcade/DC) - One of the best fighters ever. Such a rewarding experience. The animation STILL amazes me to this day.

7 - King of Fighter 95 - (SAT) - This is my 1st IMPORT (that broke the dam between myself and the beginning of an obsession, importing). I really loved reaping the rewards of that SNK/Sony/Sega deal back in 96. Talk about playing the hell out of something? I still play it to this day, as I don't most of the titles on this list.

8 - Mega Man 2 - (NES) - I put it in to play a level of 2, and I end up going through the whole game. One of the most reowned games of all time. I've beaten this so many times, I've lost count.

9 - Street Fighter Alpha 3 - (ARC/PS/SAT) - Still playing this nearly every other day, as I have been for the past 5/6 years.

10 - Tekken 3 - (ARC/PS) - This is the game...this is THE game. So many memories connected to this game.

Not in order:

Shinobi (Arcade)- I had been able to 1-credit clear this game.

Power Drift (Arcade)- A racer that was really good for its time.

Layer Section (Saturn)- One of Taito's finest hours.

Darius Gaiden (Arcade & Saturn)- 28 Zones of excellent shooting action.

Thunder Force IV (Genesis)- The pinnacle of TecnoSoft's legend.

Double Dragon (Arcade)- All about kicking the living shit out of anything that moves, and taking whatever doesn't to use as a weapon. DD is so good that the wake of similar games came as no surprise. My personal best score on it is around 145,000 (1CC)- using mainly the K,K combo that gets 700 points.

Gauntlet (Arcade)- When Putt-Putt had their Super Saturday, the attendant would come around and feed the machine with a boatload of tokens.

Space Megaforce (SNES)- Since no official sequel to Blazing Lazers/Gunhed ever came to be, this did a great job of filling the need for a successor.

Elevator Action II (Saturn)- An all-around kickass game with several ways to off your enemies (knock 'em down an elevator shaft, just plain KO them, set them afire with a rocket launcher, or lay bombs to set traps), decent challenge, and an excellent soundtrack by Yasuhisa Watanabe.

Space Harrier (Arcade, SMS, C64, PC, X68000, TG-16, Saturn, Dreamcast, GBA)- For the number of different formats I've played it on.

Most of the games I've spent the most time with are 4-player N64 games, because all my friends had one at the time, and now they're not big gamers anymore. We still break out the 64 for Conker's, Mario Kart or Perfect Dark from time to time though. I'm convinced that pretty much any game on the market is fun with 4-players.

Half-Life: I beat the relatively long single-player game, and I've spent countless hours on mods like Counter-strike and Action Half-Life. I haven't played in about a year but I'm planning on installing it on my new computer and playing some CS sometime.

Super Mario World: I would play this for hours with my best friend when I had sleepovers with him back in 1st and 2nd grade, then I bought the GBA version and played through it.

Conker's BFD: Playing through the story only took about eleven or twelve hours, but I've been playing the multiplayer with friends constantly since its release. First we liked Beach but that wore thin quickly, and since then we've been playing War - Colors. It never gets old.

Goldeneye/Perfect Dark: They're basically the same thing so I'll list them together. I played a lot of GE with friends during middle school, and then PD during freshman and sophmore year in high school. I still play PD every once in a while.

Mario Kart 64/Double Dash: Mario Kart is always a multiplayer classic. I haven't played a lot of Double Dash because it was just released but I'm sure I'll play it off and on until the next version is released.

Ocarina of Time: I played this game for months. It's probably the most time I've ever spent with a single-player game.

Grand Theft Auto III: The replay value is almost infinite, even though I haven't played it in about a year. It's fun to just pass the controller around with friends and see how much chaos you can cause.

Others:
Soul Calibur
Crazy Taxi series
Tony Hawk series

Layer Section (Saturn)- One of Taito's finest hours.

I almost put Galactic Attack on my list as well. The game owned me, from the first moment I booted up the disk. I'm sure my neighbor was tired of hearing that pumpin soundtrack blasting from my speakers at 9 o'clock at night. Level 7's boss was a mutha.

[Rocca]

I'm not very fond of my list, seeing how i had very generic taste as a kid...here goes...

in no particular order...

Super Metroid SNES - must have finished it a good 100 times in the first year i had it. I loved that game to death.

Super Smash Brothers GCN - played it every day since the release until a couple months ago, and just started again. I own with the Doc. 202 hours +

SSX 3 - GCN this game is too long! i killed my brand spanking new Wavebird over this alone. Thank god for rechargeables! 150 to 160 hours on this game.

Diablo II/LoD PC: lost sleep, time, a friend or two and some work over this. Luckily the only thing i didnt lose was my account. 5 to 10 hours of this every day of summer 2002. insane.

Unreal Tournament PC : ngstats logged me hanging dearly on the #650 position in DM for about a week, which aint too shabby...4 to 6 hours of this a day. I remember waking up one day it snowed real hard and we we're stuck inside. played from 5:45 in the morning to 2 am latter that night. Two toilet breaks and pizza we're the only TO's i'd allow.

Perfect Dark N64: stronger then 007 but not overall, i must have played 13 squillion matches with friends and double that alone. Character stats raised to Elite. Never got to Perfect though. for a month or 2, 6 hours a day once more. got old fast though

Ikaruga GCN

maybe not my most played but surely the most obessive and perfection based game ive ever had a chance to play. still in the rankings after not touching my score. gotta love it

Gunstar Heroes Genesis
Rented it 11 times and every time ended up playing it 3 to 4 hours a night.

Soul Calibur GCN - can u tell im a nin fanboy yet? no? oh...ok well Raphael > *. one of my favorite battles was with a friend , 40 to 3 for me. over 110 hours of gameplay.

NBA Street vol 2 PS2

another game we played at the pool parties and hangouts, was alot of fun, everyone made their own character and it was alot of fun to see in action. 150 hours of it....easy

[Brisco Bold]

I'll do this very quickly without explanations cuz I already did this in another thread and I'm dubious that anyone cares why I played whatever for however long:

NHL 95/98
Halo
Street Fighter 2: Turbo
Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
Castlevania III
Super Mario Bros.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Super Mario World

...can't remember the rest.
