I love this game, I can't believe this was the first released in the UK, I've played this the original and the DS releases. I love the quirkyness of it.
Plus she's in it.... <3

Dragon Quest.
I'm the only one in my family who likes this game. I'll never know why. It was a great game. The gameplay, the story, everything was good.
Elite? Never heard of it. Don't feel like looking it up either. Being the first 3-D game isn't enough to get you over Dragon Quest.

Dragon quest was fucking awesome. It really deserves a higher rank. I still play it to this day, and absolutely LOVE it. Lee summed everything up. It's story was so great, it's graphics, it's sound everything about it was epic. Elite is nothing special. Not entertaining or anything, and should DEFINITELY not go over Dragon Quest.
The vote HAS to go to Dragon Quest here. How can it not? I'm sorry, but outside of Pac-Man or Space Invaders, just about EVERY game released during that early to mid 80's period of gaming was shit, pure shit. That era gets far too much love.
I'm not a huge fan of Dragon Quest, but VIII sucked me in. I've always felt like Quest was the red-headed stepchild of the fantasy RPG world. While it's always been respected, it's also always been hated on for it's refusal to try and expand it's horizons into new areas, unlike Final Fantasy which has always strived to evolve with each sequel.
But VIII was great fun. I got it for $8 out of a bargain bin, so how could I possibly complain? Little did I know I was in store for an incredibly fun RPG game that reminded me of the more whimsical, care-free RPGs of the mid-90s before FF7 turned every RPG into a giant melodramatic fantasy soap opera. I was thoroughly entertained playing Quest VIII, and it earns my vote easily here and should hopefully do very well in the tournament.
