Most Original Game

[Sinnaku]

So whats the most original game youve ever played? When you post please include what makes the game so original.

Pikmin. I have no idea what Miyamoto sensei was thinking when he made that game, or what caused him to make olimar so tiny, but that game is sooooo cute. I've never played anything like it sinceO

Pong- repetitive gameplay and the first of its kind.

[AnimeLegend!713]

Mortal Kombat.The first fighting game to include blood and grusome fatalities.

Mortal kombat? I've always thought it was Killer Insinct.

Pong- repetitive gameplay and the first of its kind.

I agree with you.Pong rocks!!!!

yea what this person said

[pyrothunder336]

Tales of Symphonia. I can't think of any game like it

[bakakame]

Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball

Not the first to make a typical game into a sport-related game, but first I've ever seen to include a faction system as well with the sport.

Super Mario Bros For the NES...! I still think it's the greatest game...

[Panda-In-A-Box]

I agree with the Pong-thing, it was the first in its kind, and well....2D pingpong? c'mon! i've never played a game that simple and THAT addicting at the same time:P

[Lone.Wolf]

I think the Bust-A-Move series is original and that pa ra rapper thing or however you say it.

Gitaroo-man, Yana Callablista City Skater, Stretch Panic, Sweet Home and Monster Rancher. You've seen games attempt to use what they have, or you've never heard of them.

Tales of symphonia and baten kaitos, the type of game play was never used before, they are totally awesome and original

What made ToS so original? The free movement system was already used in many other RPG's, some even dating back to PS1 or even the SNES!

Fatal Frame, a horror game that doesn't rely on gore and blood but rather atmosphere and the use of the 'Camera Obscura' was something different, instead of shooting the hell into the enemies with guns you capture their soul/essence.

Also Clock Tower games, similar reasons as the above game only with holy water instead of the camera. And also when the girl panics.

Weeeeell, Front mission, and then probably Shin Megami Tensei. Mortal Kombat, and then Virtua Fighter. Those are the pioneers of the days.

The Camerea Obsucra was just a fancy name for Camera Gun. It reloads like a gun, it recoils like a gun, it can cause various degrees of damage like gun.. If it walks like duck and looks like a duck.

Okay, only untill Clock Tower 3 did you have a VIABLE and REUSEABLE way to fight back, which killed the entire franchise by turning into Resident Evil and giving you a visible panic meter. Part 1 , you could'nt fight back. Part 2, you could fight back but it was'nt worth it, Part 3? Not only could you fight back you could KILL your assailants. (Note , part 3 had more than one stalker.. Unlike the rest.)

What about Castlevaina and the Dracula(anything) games? If I recalled they had a death grip for making Holy Water the number one optional weapon (if not the first) one you get.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned this.
The Greatest Original Game of ALL TIME AND TIME TO COME is..

VIB-RIBBON

Next to Monster Rancher, no other game ever used the "Insert Another CD to Generate Something" Idea.
Vib uses the music data from any music CD you can think of to generate a level that you can play to the music.'

Want a level playing to Slipknot? Insert a Slipknot Cd.
Want a level playing to Orange Range? Insert an Orange Ranger CD.
Want a level playing to Switchblade Symphony? Insert a SS CD and the game makes a level based of the music. #_#

All the European members of the board must find and play this game, American members such as my self have to be extra nice to the person who owns a PAL "working" playstation. -/

[BillabongSurfer9]

Kingdom Hearts i think

[MistaCloudStrife]

Ummm.... PacMan?? Seriously though... That and Pong, Blockbuster, Mario and Tetris....

The classics... you can't any more original than those... Lol.

Oh and Dungeons and Dragons... <_<

Theres more but I cant think of em right now... Like the first FPS game... o.O;; What was it? The latest one I can remember is Wolfenstien 3D... o.<;;

[BillabongSurfer9]

true i guess mario pac man and pong are the most original

[Loljoke]

to be really honest, it would be Tennis For Two, back in 1958, but that was mostly hard-wired, so it wasn't a programmed game.

[Marie2007]

Pong all the way

[nasuada]

the most oringinal game ive ever played wuz the old,old mario game for the nintendo and not super nintendo or the nintendo 64 but just nintendo and that is a fun game although its 2D and the cgi sux by todays standards but dont u agree its fun to play some old games to laugh at how sucky those graphics were and how u used to think those graphics were state of the art and it couldnt get any better then that?

[Sword]

Either Zone of the Enders or Kingdom Hearts.

ZOE is a mech game but with a cool story and anime style characters. What makes it original is the gameplay. It's a flying mech, in which you can control it's altitude and the attacks differ depending on if you are at close range or long range.

KH is a brilliant combination of Disney and Final Fantasy. Need I say more?
