Im just curious as to see what games you all crown your all time favourites , on your favourite consoles . 
 Im hoping you come out with obscure retro titles , not bloody mass effect :P (though I am a fan of Mass effect) 
Mine is Virtua Cop on the sega saturn . I remember opening it on Christmas morning , disregarding all other presents and playing for like 3 hours . Amazing . What about you ? :)

Shenmue on the dreamcast, I know that the giantbomb guys hate it, and it didn't really stand the test of time, but it left me with some fond memories, and the soundtrack was amazing to boot,  this game will not be forgotten.......untill I die or go mental, or both and i'm a mental zombie, who knows.

Ocarina of Time on N64. I have such great memories playing that as a kid, it was literally the only game I played for almost a year. It was all fun and games until I got to the Water Temple, then shit got real and I had to use a guide.

Chrono Trigger on the SNES. It may not seem like much now, but back then that game was the product of the best minds in the business of JRPG's. It was amazing in every respect and extremely forward thinking.

No, I can understand easily. I played Chrono Trigger last year for the first time since it never got a SNES release in Australia; pretty easy to see why you'd love it so.

My favorite game ever is probably Final Fantasy IX, and Smash TV. Favorite console, I hate to say, but probably the 360 for all it's features.

The best experience I have ever had with a game was Burnout 2, I originally bought it on the Gamecube but the xbox and PS2 versions looked better.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, it had a simple yet elegant plot, interesting characters, but probably most mind blowing at the time for me was how real the world felt. It is ironic that as a cel-shaded game it is one of the darkest and grimiest games I have ever played. All of humanity lives miles under ground, the lower social class the further underground you are which has less clean air so people are always sick and unhealthy etc. All Ryu wants is to take his friend to the top and to the "real world" because she is dying but that involves breaking laws and fighting the government. Also does a good job at mixing strategy RPGs and turn based combat together and making it ridiculously fast paced, so much fun. 
 
Sure the game has a lot of flaws like basically permanent death and a terrible save system but it is still my favorite of the favorites of video games.

This; but Shenmue 2 holds the top slot in my book.

@NinjaCupCaiks: It certainly isn't for everyone because well, the game is hard as hell and there is incentive to restart over and over but yeah, flaws aside I can't get enough of it.

I would say it is. It's the most sought after and hard to find SNES game as far as I know. I consider it to be up there with Mario and Zelda in terms of importance from that era. If you can, try and get a copy that has the box, manual, inserts, and the 2 maps/fold out posters. Finding the maps/ fold out posters won't be easy, because they usually got trashed and/or lost, but if you can piece together the package or get one that has it all you will have a real collectors item. I should also mention that getting a complete SNES copy of Chrono Trigger in descent condition today tends to be a bit expensive. So be prepared to spend.

Ah  it's hard to compare different generations.   On the PS2 I think I loved Jak 2 the most. I don't know why but that game just clicked with me.  But, for something less recent,  it's between Sonic the Hedgehog and Aladdin (for serious) on the Genesis.   
 
Edit: Oh wait, also  Punchout and Kirby's Adventure were games that I absolutely  loved on the NES.  I think I'm bad at this topic lol.

Pretty much this.  The game is pretty much perfect, and a wonderful peak to an already great catalog of games on my favorite console to date.
