ok, this is gonna make me sound like a nerd. i was reading some stuff the other day and then i thought about games i played in my childhood. this was at a time when games were 2d and 3d was state of the art. but im all for a good story. dont think many will appreciate this list but i remember these games being awesome.
1) Final Fantasy 7 - I love the story line, the characters were the shit, Aeris' death shook my world. (shes a good person, shes not supposed to die!! whats wrong with this game!) a ton of secrets to explore, people to find. a epic as it gets with a story on regret, love, loss and saving the world. you'll laugh and you'll cry. i tried a few years ago to get into it again but sadly the dated graphics made it unplayable.
2) Final Fantasy tactics - Awesome art, great job design and i like games that make you think. and there are jobs called dancer and bard. funny.
3) Shining Force 2 - I played it when i was 10. ton of secrets, interesting characters. it got me hooked to gaming. basket.
4) Chrono Trigger - awesome story line. its been so long i forgot what it was. :( time travel i think.
5) Final Fantasy 9 - I fell in love with a character called Vivi, a little mute dark mage in the story, named him sappho and grew protective of him. he was pretty much the only attraction of the game. he didnt have a face though.
6) Super Mario Kart for the snes and Goldeneye for nintendo64. serious fun for playing with siblings.
7) everquest. it's like crack. stay away. for the record, my first character was a pale skinned high elf enchanter. I swear he had eyeshadow on. but i wanted to be an enchanter.
good times.
