Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

Armagetron Advanced, which is a 3d multiplayer Tron clone, though you can also face off against bots. Fun as hell with friends and the customization options keeps things interesting.

Holy fuck, you just sent me 10 years into the past. Gonna have to download that again, thanks!

I loved this game. I remember finding out about double- or triple-binding the turn keys so you could do fancy u-turns and other maneuvers. I always got beat online, but I never came in last

Yeah, that was a game changer, learning about the dbl binds. I picked it up again a few weeks back, and those have been some pretty unproductive weeks

I remember Armagetron always getting fired up at LANs when I was at uni, 2005ish
