HAY GUYS

Inspired by discussion in the Dark Cloud 2 thread, I decided to revive this one from its untimely death during the crash.

Virtually all genres of games have 'em. ESPN NFL 2K5 had air hockey and I think darts. Final Fantasy X has Blitzball. Daxter for the PSP has dream sequences you play through. Et cetera, et cetera.

The thought behind this thread is for you to post the minigame(s) you enjoy and the game(s) it came from. None of this "FFX cuz of Blitzball." stuff though.

And since I've mentioned it twice in the opening statement, you can probably guess that Blitzball is in fact my favorite minigame of all-time. I will continue to hope that Square-Enix will design a Blitzball Online based on the minigame from Final Fantasy X, not X-2.

I spent about 150 hours playing Blitzball just so I could master it to the point where I didn't even need to see the screen to play. Blitzball is by far the most addicting minigame I think I've ever come across.

Other than that, Final Fantasy 7 had the submarine simulator. And that was also a ton of fun. You just basically control a submarine and move around until you spot and enemy, and then it's torpedos away. I'd love to see the minigame reappear under the PS3's capabilities, but we'll have to wait and see for that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Don't know if this is quite a mini-game, Geometry Wars Evolved

God damn you.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Slayer X, I was mad because you're just listing the minigame, not telling why you liked it. For example --

Quote:

I also forgot to mention Tekken Force mode in Tekken 3... not 5.

I have no clue what Tekken Force mode is. So describe it briefly and say why you liked it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Even though it's not really a minigame, the Ft. Condor battle in FF7 was also a lot of fun, and a nice departure from the game's traditional play. Setting up the right amount and type of troops at strategic locations was really enjoyable.

Speaking of pong, as Mucknuggle brought up, the loading screen of Test Drive for the PS2 was Pong. If two controllers were plugged in, you can play two-players or if it was just you, you'd play against the CPU. Lots of fun though, and the game wouldn't interrupt your Pong match either -- just press start to begin the race.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
