Which game did really "pull you in" into its world, to the point you really tuned in.
My choice would be Red Alert 1. Sounds of tanks firing, German shepherds barking, Tanya (! ), it all had such an authentic feeling to it, it's scary. And the mission clips were awesome, Stalin was ego maniac, allies looked concerned. When I played red alert, I wasn't a gamer, I was commander .
Playing Keen Vorticons is like watching a silent street during snowfall from the window at 7am.
Blood, particularly episode 2.
Warcraft II has the best atmosphere of the series.
Heretic.
Monster Bash.
Abuse.
Honorable mentions: Doom, Wolf3D, Duke Nukem I & II, Crystal Caves, Hocus Pocus and God of Thunder.
Final Fantasy VII. Oddly enough, I only owned the PC version. I used to spend hours just wandering around in some of the areas that had no fights and just look at the amazing visuals and listen to the beautiful music. The world was so real. FF7 changed my perception of what a game experience could be.
After that, it was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I love riding around the world on Epona, and I've spent many hours fishing. Like FF7, this is a game whose atmosphere makes the game worth playing without actually playing the game. For the action, the massive number of dungeons and cities to explore, and the awesome mini games, I still consider Ocarina to be one of the best games ever made.
For pure enjoyment of the actual game experience, Super Mario 64. SM64 is actually a very easy game; the difficulty at the time came not from the enemies and traps, but from learning how not to fall off of things when playing in a truly 3D environment after spending your whole life playing 2D games. Once the controls are mastered, playing the game by the rules is child's play. That's why I like making the game harder with special rules. I use the ability to save four games to play the game with four different goals: 100% coins in every level, 0 coins in every level (coinless, or C-less), coinless-cannonless (CC-less), coinless-capless (CC-less), and coinless-cannonless-capless (CCC-less). The latter three are my favorite. It's a lot harder to beat the game without touching any coins, and not every star can be acquired. Obviously you can't get any of the 8-red-coin stars, but there are other stars that you can't get CC-less or CCC-less... although some can be acquired by abusing the backwards longjump glitch to pass through walls and launch yourself incredible distances. In theory, probably every star can be acquired by BLJ but, in practice, most can only be acquired using a re-recording emulator for "tool assistance", since getting the exact direction and distance would be humanly impossible. Anyway, these four goals are what hardcore SM64 geeks do to make the game harder. The fact that I'm good enough to work my way through the game with no danger, and only have to worry about accidentally touching coins, makes this a game that I can say I enjoy for the atmosphere; I can take all the time I want to enjoy the beauty of the 3D world without any fear of its inhabitants.
Today entirely the maniac there is no excuse with the article.
