Following on from a recent blog I read regarding memorable games. I have decided to see exactly which games have found a special spot in our minds over the years.

The following games are those that I distinctly remember playing over the years. Every one was enjoyable and because of that I still remember them to this day.

I ask..... what games have made an impression on you over the years? I am almost 28 and so I have really been lucky enough to be living through the Golden Years of gaming. Right from the reverred ZX Spectrum and Commodore Amiga right up to the PS3 and X360.

Too many to mention.. But its really sad to know that 10 years from now (when todays kids will be tomorrows gamers), they will be forgotten saying, it to younger games will be futile (you know what I'm talking about) :(.But then forgotten is part of like

Hmm, so many to choose from.

Streets of Rage 2, Mega Drive/Genesis- I had enjoyed the first one, but the second one really was nicely made and so much fun.

Sonic The Hedgehog 1, Master System - I will never forget, well if my memory doesn't go odd asI get older, this really excellent game. Sure it wasn't as nice looking as the 16 bit version, but I loved it.

TheStrike Series, Mega Drive, PS1- This was back before EA became the company it is today. I loved the Strike series and must haved played each one far too many times, I was sad to see it end.

Suikoden 2, PS1- I love this game, I really, really love this game. The story had me gripped, the ending had me in tears and I'm still looking for an RPG that is as absorbing as this was for me.

Shining Force 2, Mega Drive/Genesis: This was the first ever Strategy RPG I played back in the 90s and I loved it, I completed it so many times and kept going back for more.

Granny's Garden, Spectrum ZX - The first game I ever played, and completed, back in 1984. It's memorable because it was my introduction to video gaming.

Mario Bros 3, NES- I loved this game, it had a great balance of gameplay and replayability. It had a good challenge that really did test the player to improve with their reaction time.

Harvest Moon: Back To Nature, PS1 - I had played Harvest Moon on the old monochrome Gameboy, but this version was, for me, a wonderful game that proved that you didn't need action to enjoy a good game.

Star Trek: Birth of the Federation, PC - This was, for me, the very notion of what a Trek game should be. It had exploration, diplomacy, scieniftic research and more. Not since has there been another Trek game as good as this, far too much shooting fests now and no actual Trek.

Knights of the Old Republic 1, X-Box - Why couldn't the movies have been as good as this? This game showed just how good and engrossing the Star Wars universe could be without relying on Emo Skywalker, Bondage Vader, Blondie Skywalkerand noisy light sticks to make it good, it had a very good story which left you wondering just what was going to happen next. This was what the movies should have been.

Psychonauts, X-Box - It's a largely unknown game what with being ignored for Snorlo, sorry, Halo. It's an enjoyable 3D platform game where you played as this young Psychonauts recruit, soldiers trained in main powers, who must rescue fellow recruits and staff from their darkest nightmares. An unusual game, butvery fun.

Ottifants, Mega Drive/Genesis - I didn't play this game much, but I found it oddly enjoyable. You played a baby elephant trying to save his parents, the music was catchy, especially the boss music - which is still in my memory to this day almostt twenty years since I last played it.

Would take too long to list them all.
