I just want to take this opportunity while Phoenix is battling it out with Ike to say that it's thanks to this Board's love of his series that I played any Ace Attorney games at all.

I won a contest prize back during... I think Rivalry Rumble? And because of Board 8 I used it to buy the original trilogy on DS. Probably the best possible use of that prize.

Poll cuz I'm curious.

Final Fantasy
Metal Gear Solid
Persona
Zero Escape
Castlevania: SoTN
Most SNES Games

Theres beeh a few movies and shows good old Board 8 has gotten me into, most notably It's Always Sunny which is now my favorite show.

Also in regards to Ace Attorney, I got into it right before the Rivalry Rumble which I made an account/bracket for and had Phoenix/Edgeworth going crazy far. Oh how naive I was

Phoenix Wright
Persona 3
Undertale
VVVVVV

They were all good games. Before all of that though, there was Jumper and Jumper 2 which b8 raved about roughly 15 years ago. Fucking amazing and paved the way for Super Meat Boy, Dustforce, etc. The guy went on to make Towerfall and Celeste. Not sure if anyone else remembers the Jumper craze but that was the best thing I got out of b8 games wise.

There was a time where I wanted to be familiar with all the characters in the contests, so I'd seek out their games to see what the big deal was.

But I feel like I should also note that I knew nothing about most video games until I found this site. Didn't touch the Final Fantasy series or anything until seeing how popular the characters were here. I really only knew Pokemon and the big mascot platforming characters since I was only a child when I found this site. I believe the Link vs. Cloud match of 2004 was happening when I first stumbled across GameFAQs, and I wanted to know who the hell this 'cloud' was to be so popular.

Undertale. I guess you could count CT and FF7 too because I wanted to know why these games are so strong here, but these games are pretty well-respected outside of GameFAQs as well.

Yep, same. I played through 999 and Steins;Gate because people were talking them up on here. I also played through Danganronpa because people kept making topics about the translated playthrough topic on SA.

i was raised in the UK so had no idea what Chrono Trigger was until I came to GameFAQs for the contests.
Played it a few years later, thought it was brilliant. Replayed it a few years after that and still thought it was brilliant.
One of my favourite jrpgs, thanks GameFAQs (y)

Grim Fandango, Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle because of Manny Calavera.
I tried Adventure of a friend's Atari 2600 because of the games contest.

I also plan to buy Undertale someday because I talked of the contests to a colleague and he told me to try it. I hope it will be worth it.
