The Game You Grew Up On

[AMCization]

I grew up with Super Smash Bros, Pokemon Red, Stadium, and that really cool golf game on the Sega megadrive, and it didn't effect me one bit!

 

[dirk45]

I got hooked on Frogger, PacMan and David's Midnight Magic (a flipper), all on C64. Later through the years I would add the original Bard's Tale Series, Pool of Radiance, Ultima IV-VI, Civilization (from I to today) and latest LotRO. And I guess I will stay on LotRO for some more years.

 

[Galaxialconda]

Golden Axe on the good old Megadrive

 

[Killersamman]

errr Star Ward Galactic Battlegrounds and Halo (first one and the best one) for gaming in general, 2142 for internet games

and yeah, i still play them every now and again

 

[Barry93]

Mech Warrior 2 and Bonk's Revenge.

 

[MR T3D]

mario kart

 

[Hot'n'steamy]

sonic 2, streets of rage, Disney PC Series, crash bandicoot, vigilante 8.

 

[Nazulu]

My Dad got me into gaming when he let me played Carmaggedon on his work computer.

 

[Ancientgamer]

Mechwarrior 2. Got me interested into Battletech, which interested me in Physics and machinery, which got me to making lasers and gauss weapons...

You know what? I just realized that if I speak more the CIA might pay me a visit.

Are you me?

What he said. Exactly

 

[BioHazard19]

The original Super Smash Brothers for the N64. That game was epic.

 

[WittyName]

Mainly Spyro, The Phantom Menace (awful) and then I proceeded onto games like Ratchet and Clank (awesome).

 

[mitchellkenn]

Legend of Zelda: OoT. First game I beat, best game I beat.

 

[Irridium]

DOOM and Tetris

I used to play DOOM all the time with my dad
And Tetris when he didn't want to play with me

 

[UltimatheChosen]

Final Fantasy 7 and Starcraft.

 

[Orange Monkey]

I got hooked on my first proper console, the Nintendo 64. Almost all of its games enthralled me, but if i had to choose one (ok two) Banjo-Kazooie and it's sequel Banjo-Tooie. Those are held in my head as some of the best games ever.

 

[Russ Pitts]

Yeah, I'm with George. It depends on what you mean by "grew up on".

I first experienced blinding envy over my brother's friend's copy of Pitfall 2 on the Atari 2600. Donkey Kong Junior on the ColecoVision helped me pass a lot of cold, rainy winter days. And speed runs through The Legend of Zelda on NES probably helped me ease through the pre-adolescent years better than anything else.

 

[TheBarefootBandit]

Alien Storm, Super Thunder Blade, Streets of Rage, Revenge of the Shinobi, Sonic and Super Monaco grand prix. Good times with my Mega Drive.

 

[adman]

Mine was totally Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon and all their sequals :3 They're awesome

 

[Spirit_Of_Fire]

I would say spyro 2. I cant remember how I found out about it, but I'm glad I did because it was an amazing game.

Spyro 2 was the one with Moneybags and the silly tiger looking thing etc?

Yes it was.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Super Mario Land. Was fun even though I never made it to the third level. Then again, I was only two years old when I started and four when I quit.
