I had a few as I grew up. At first it was the Super Nintendo with a friend of mine (kind of cousin), which was playing kirby, battle toads double dragon and of course super mario the high point of those franchises if you ask me, I still prefer those games to the new ones. Id also play the sega mega drive on lots of random games; doom, sonic the hedgehog and a personal favourite ThemePark (developed into what is now the whole ZooTycoon franchise)

Tomb Raider 1 is also a favourite childhood game, friggin love it, thought to be honest I spent most of the time playing it either shooting the butler at the start and locking him in the fridge or using cheat codes.

Then I got an N64 for christmas (best console ever ngghhhghhh) and so my favourites of that are GoldenEye, Rocket robot on wheels, SuperMario64 and ALL TIME BEST GAME Zelda:OOT! I wish they would bring a HD remake of that to all consoles.. DAMN YOU NINTENDO! (Im pretty sure you can get hd textures of it to run on Project64)

I couldn't pick a specific one It makes you think, kids in 20 years time will be saying ''Ohhh I used to play this old game called 'Call of Duty Black Ops' hohoho!''

Nice, I knew a cheat to drive a schoolbus

Party Crusher >:L

Well, as I said my first console was the N64 which I enjoyed playing with my sis and my father. We have beaten every Mario game together,

but when I got my GameCube on Christmas I started beating the games on my own. I loved to play and I still have all my 70~ GC video games

here (just incase I wanna play some again). Back then Video Games were just great and a new way to experience stories :')

The most time I was playing Mario and especially Sonic games.. When I got the first Killzone I started playing FPSs and that was the

point were I stoped taking interest in other games But now I spend some days playing my old NES or N64 games again.

I couldn't pick a specific one It makes you think, kids in 20 years time will be saying ''Ohhh I used to play this old game called 'Call of Duty Black Ops' hohoho!''

This would be just extremely sad.

[awesomeo_5000]

Red Alert 1 + 2 + Yuri's Revenge (One of my favourite games of all time)

Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 + 2 (So many hours spent on them)

Doom (BFG)

Quake I/II (Used to play with my father, 'go for go' - whenever one of us died we'd swap.)

Deus Ex 1 + 2 (2 was my favourite, new one's shit!)

Phantasmagoria (point and click kinda game. Some messed up stuff, I was real young so I don't think I understood it properly)

Abe's Odyssey (Amazing game, can't wait for the re-release)

Age of Empires (Shelby GT)

Half Life (all of them, first load were amazing.)

Devastation (Newer than others, but still a good game from memory)

Rainbow Six (The older ones. Amazing stuff, tango down)

GTA I, II, III, Vice City. (Didnt like san andreas, spent the most time on Vice City)

Driver II (Never actually played the game properly, just drove round having fun)

Shrine Of Daikatana (I remember writing a story on it in year 4)

Golden Eye (N64 ftw)

Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Gold, Snap, Stadium (Probably spent a year of my life on these in total. I remember saving up money for a nintendo 64, then I went into a local game shop and seeing an import version of Pokemon Silver. It was a long time until the UK release and I spent my £40 savings (like 10000 in those kiddy days) on it. Pokemon snap I got for christmas, and by 6pm christmas day I had completed it.)

Donkey Kong

Perfect Dark (One of my favourite shooters. I loved putting on the paintball and slowmotion death mode and messing around)

NFS Underground 2 (I remember getting this, playing it for six hours but then my memory card broke. I asked my mum to pick one up in town which she did. But unfortunately I had to restart the console to let it register the new memory card. I lost all my data and had to start again.)

Halo I, II, (II was the first online game I played. Good times on the original xbox.)

Unreal Tournament (Second online game I played on xbox, got me hooked)

Star Wars Episode One, KOTOR,

Call of Duty I + II (Used to sit around a friends house playing four way split screen. Throwing as many smoke grenades as possible.)

Medal of Honour (Another play through with my dad when he had his back operation he borrowed my psone and played through the entire series in like a week on hard)

Delta Force (too young to play it properly, but remember sitting with all my friends on a mission where you have to escort a limousine and just running and jumping off into the sunset)

Project IGI 1 + 2

Soldier of Fortune 1 + 2 (first game where you got points for shooting people in the dick IIRC)

Sims (spent more time making the houses than playing)

Freedom Fighters

Ghost Recon (Loved playing the coop missions on hard with friends)

Startopia (Great RTS game on PC. I'd still play it now if I could. Check it out!)

Apache AH-64

F22 Raptor

Earthworm Jim

Jazz Jackrabbit

Police Quest (great games, a big series. There was a swat one that was particularly good with a radio system called the LASH)

Oregon Trail (Can't believe I forgot this! Amazing game)

I have no mouth but I must scream

Tomb Raider

Carmageddon

Midtown Madness (You could do this cheat where on touching a computer controlled car it would go into a slide, and I'd go on the freeway and tap loads of cars and cause massive car crashes)

Postal 2 (totally messed up but great game. Features terrorists, Gary Coleman and the ability to get your weeny out and wee on people. If they hit you whilst weeing you pee blood.)

System Shock

Homeworld

Commandos

Caesar III (Another RTS city game. Gotta be in my top 10. You play a roman governar who builds up a town and you would go to war with neighbouring villages)

There's gotta be a load I'm missing out but. Writing all these downs brings back great memories. It's weird that gaming can be such a central part of your childhood. Only included up until xbox/ps2 years because that is what I now consider my youth. Ask me in a few years and no doubt the 360 and Minecraft will be on there!

There's a couple of games I can't remember the name to. One was very similar to half life, and had a yellow and black case. It may have been from the creators (not valve, but the individual staff) of Half Life but I cant for the life of me remember. All I know is it had a load of turrets.

The second is a real time strategy, similar to Age of Empires, but you control or fight goblins. Any ideas?

And another was a very early game where you were stuck in this big house. It was a scary game, and there was a bit where you'd investigate a sarcophagus ( i remember this bit particularly because I couldn't say it properly and my dad was trying to teach me) then there were these scary suited men that were demons or something and fired stuff at you. It was a point and click mixed with action IIRC.

Listen to this whilst you browse.

Good topic OP. Thanks.

Just so you know, I write raps, and also make up beats for it. But I wouldn't be me if the beats were like any other hiphop beats, so I sample music from children games, as they are never used and they are usually brilliant.

Aside from Monopoly Junior and Redcat: Snelle Sommenrace, ^ that song is one of em. I am trying to make a Trance-beat of out it and combine it with Horror Rap.

I'm still in mine growing up stage, but when I was like 6 or 7 I played on the SNES. I mostly played Donkey Kong Country ( I believe that's the first videogame I've ever played) we had other games too. Like Super Mario All Stars, Mario Kart and some other shit. I think it still lays under my bed somewhere. The only problem is that I can't plug it in anymore. I really want to play again DAMN MODERN TECNOLOGY!!!

[Brant_96]

Star wars Battlefront 2. Nuff said.

[hulpje]

idk pokemon red on gameboy then pokemon silver on gameboy advance and supersmashbros all day long on gamecube.

Also star wars jedi knight outpost 2, and even GTA 2 was fun to play with friends somehow

[oogappeltje]

Most games I played were on the pc. My first gaming console was the wii, that i got when i was 10. Before that i only played games were you could make troops and command them to attack other troops. So battle of middle earth, age of mythology, rome total war etc. And now i want to become the ruler of Russia, MOTHERFUCKERS ! I will command all my troop and DESTROY THE WHOLE WORLD( I'm from the stalin youth(NOT))!!
