Well, I'm fixing to make you feel a lot younger.

Pac-Man didn't come out on the Atari 2600 until I was eight years old, so my favorite games to start off with were Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Missile Command, and Break-Out, because they were pretty much the only ones around. A bit later came the really AMAZING games like Defender, Joust, Pitfall, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and E.T. Yes, boys and girls... I have to confess a terrible, awful, horrible, shameful secret.

I own a copy of E.T. There, I said it. It's not even in a landfill. It's in a closet. And I played it. Oh God, I won it! I'm so ashamed!

Ahem.

My absolute favorite game back then was probably a quirky little game called "Yar's Revenge", though. All I can say is thank God games have gotten better since then. I was fifteen before the first Final Fantasy game came out.

WARNING: no gay games in case you think that.

I still play beloved titles like mario, sonic, crash, spyro, etc.

I also am finding old fashion violence in many E rated titles. Anyone eles?

You idiot! That kind of trash belongs in landfills like Bill Gates or the Mets.

Didn't it, though? I wish they'd remake it for current hardware. It would be cool to have a 3D shooter/platformer centered around a fly using his corrosive balls of exploding spit to attack the enemy, eat through the walls of their base and gobble the soft, gooey creatures inside. Knowing game developers though, they'd just screw it up. You're cruising along just fine when Marketing shows up and tells you they've got the title in the bag. Since Pirates are so en vogue, it's going to be Yar's Matey. Then it's just straight downhill to... I'm afraid that thought will have to wait until later. I just nodded off and Julia Roberts started singing an opera about shoes. There's no putting off a warning sign like that, so vaya con queso. Until we meet again.

[Daeres]

Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Mario World II: Yoshi's Island, F-Zero X.

At some point as a child, i was addicted to all of these games...
Pokemon Red had a strong hold of me too i have to admit, back when Pokemon felt like an adventure, not a franchise...

 

[satanslawer123]

tekken

 

[L33tsauce_Marty]

Any Tony Hawk game.

 

[Killer Rabbit]

Tomba 2 and Pokemon Yellow.

 

[chieften]

Pokemon Blue version. I got two lvl 99 pokemon before I learned about Missingo.
Mario Kart
Oregon trail 2 and 3 with my dad.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Whatever game my brother was playing. I didn't have my own system for some time and a lack of small motor skills make me terrible at games (as it still does, QQ).

 

[brutus3933]

Pokemon Yellow. First video game I ever played, got it for my birthday a while after it came to USA. I still think the pokemon series, besides anything relating to Mario, is the pinical of handheld gaming.

 

[DistinctlyBenign]

Kid Chameleon, for the Sega Genesis.

 

[riskroWe]

My fondest memories are from Heroes of Might and Magic 2.

 

[tdp316]

I remember playing Dyna Blaster on the PC... I now wonder exactly how many Bomberman games now exist?

 

[bcponpcp27]

POKEMANZ! Seriously though, I loved that game so much. So fun, it still is today.
