I'm playing through the Adventure of Link for the first time right now. I wish there was a rom out there that changed the music back to the original Legend of Zelda music though.
My favorite game when I was a kid was Batman though.

Definitely subjective. I came from the old school as well. Was a Huge Doom, Duke 3D, and Quake, TF an CS series fan. One of the issues I always had with PC fps's was the amount of hacks, and cheats guys would use. Also it was very hardware dependant in a lot of cases where guys with better gear had huge advantages.
I find console shooters really levelled the playing field. Obviously guys came along with modded xboxes, and lag switches etc... but cheating is way less prevalent in the console scene. Pretty much everyone was playing with the same equipment, aside form maybe a rapid fire controller. I also like the idea of just lounging on the couch when gaming, not feeling like i am still at the office.
The gap now between PC and Console is not big enough for me to waste the cash on a video card every 2nd year anymore, when I can essentially buy an entire console for same price. Say what you want about Halo MP, but it has represented one of the most level playing fields in MP FPS's, that and its somewhat generic simpicity without classes is what I think that was a the draw to a lot of people.
