What games were you raised on?

[SithLibrarian]

Before my folks bought a Genesis for my brother's birthday, we were hogging our dad's Commodore 64 to play Jumpman, lightcycles, Master of the Lamp, and Star Wars Arcade.

Boy, seeing some of the games listed by you good folks makes me feel really, really old.

 

[Azulito]

Metal Gear Solid and Command and Conquer.

Those were the days

 

[Hooded-hyena]

Radical Rex, Ecco 1 & 2, Spyro, Crash, Tomb Raider, and some Disney games. Like Tarzan and Bug's life. :3

I'm a bit older, my first games were on the Atari 2600. I had E.T. ( worst game ever, yes, I know), Pitfall, Adventure ( god I loved that one), and some home-brew math games my father wrote.

But the games I grew up on where mostly the old sierra games, the ones with the type interface, it's how I learned english.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Mortal Kombat, Doom, Quake, Unreal, Zelda, Sonic, and various Final Fantasy games.

 

[Metalchair]

mario party 2, Spyro the Dragon(the first and best one) Tiny tank, and the original Spider mAn game for the PS1

 

[AxelMiller]

I think the first game i ever played was Theif. Or maybe Half-Life 1. Somewhere about those years though.

 

[effilctar]

My parents had arguments over who won who at Soulblade (PSX version of Soul Calibur)

 

[Cryfear101]

Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, THPS, Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64 the classics.

Exactly what this guy has said

but with a few more additions, Final fantasy 7 , Metal gear solid , Sonic the hedgehog , pac man , tetris , Goldeneye , Yoshi's story and Pokemon , as far as i can think of for now.

 

[Woodsey]

Heart of Darkness (IMPOSSIBLE when you're 5 or 6) and Tomb Raider 3 are my earliest recollections.

My Dad also used to let me mess with games like Thief and Deus Ex a little when they came out, obviously I wasn't very good at around 7 years old.

 

[HerrBobo]

Harrier Attack on the Amstrad cpc464.

Also, Duck hunt and Mairo.

 

[Justanothergamer300]

I only had one system and game at my grandma's house and those we're Sega Genesis and Sonic 2 so it seems I'm fond of platformers.

 

[PureChaos]

NES games but i don't really remember much about them. maybe i wasn't brought up on them, that i would give to my old Megadriveand games like Streets of Rage 2, Golden Axe, Street Fighter 2 and stuff

Jumpman & Jumpman Jr. were two of the finest C64 games ever made! I could beat "Robots II" in Jumpman at speed level 1 without dying. Took some practice though.

Ever play Space Taxi?

I still have fond memories of hearing my dad playing the game, pounding the desk or slapping the arms of his chair to the level complete music!

I'm afraid I don't recall Space Taxi? How did that one play?

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, and other NES classics. Also early computer games like Cross Country Canada, The Oregon Trail, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, & Number Munchers. God, I loved Number Munchers.

 

[Cilliandrew]

Colecovision: Venture, Frenzy, Q-bert, Ms. Pacman, Popeye, Time Pilot

Commodore 64: Wizard of Wor, Ghostbusters, Zaxxon, Gorf, Bruce Lee, Galaxian, I could go on and on.. My dad (sorry, SANTA) got us a Commodore 64 for christmas in 1985 with a box load of disks packed with copied games. It was a life-changing experience.

 

[ideitbawx]

the original duke nukem, with the 10000-point balloons and a random ass story hat made no sense.

scorched earth (someone posted online using javascript. look it up, it's fun as hell)

jill of the jungle.

wolfenstein 3-d on pc (not the edited snes cart).

all these games have one thing in common: they all run on DOS

 

[DrDeath3191]

Doom, Crash Bandicoots 1-3, and the Mario games. Good times...
