What is the most important game from your childhood?

I played for 5 months and during that time I spent a lot of time trying to find people who were willing to play with a "rookie." Let's just say that after not being able to participate in battles, not many people willing to teach the new guy, I lost interest in the game and moved on. It was fun learning everything, and I know there was so much more I could have learned. With my lifestyle, I don't have enough time in my week to sit and play all day.

I played EVE Online for a little while. I left the game once they started having problems with the game (i.e. hackers, etc.) and I moved on to other games. It was fun when I was playing it though.

[QUOTE="JamesCoote"]Half-life 1 This is the game I played as an impressionable teenager, and I still have a big lambda seared into my brain as a result Eve Online Not strictly from my childhood, Eve none the less has had the biggest impact on my development as a person of any game, film or bookJamesCoote

Super Mario 64. It felt like an epic adventure by the end of it for me back then.

Mario Kart

Driver

Madden

Pong, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Defender.

Pokemon blue. Made my little thumbs almost bleed with that game :P

Pokemon, Legend of Mana, Mechwarrior 2, Spyro/Crash Bandicoot. I'm sure there's more, but my brain is lazy right now.

Sonic the Hedgehog was my first game... next came Streets of Rage... then i got a SNES and got Mega Man X

then Playstation came out... i got Resident Evil. when PS2 came out... first two games i got were Onimusha: Warlords and Devil May Cry.

i beat Chrono Trigger when the pack for Playstation was released... and since i tried to play all of the FF games from 7 and one to 10 without completing them, sadly, i find that more then those great games... Chrono Trigger was the most influencial to me.

those are my biggest influences, defintely.

donkey kong series

ice hockey (nes)

super mario bros

pokemon leaf green

bloody roar 3

marvel vs capcom 2

metal slug series

A combo of Crash Bandicoot Warped, Fury 3, Kings Quest VII, Earthsiege 2, Tomb Raider, Turok, Pacman & Half Life.

The first games I played were super mario world and Super star wars the empire strikes back....... but what really blew my mind was when I got my nintendo 64 for christmas with ocarina of time......I'm telling you nothing today can blow my mind as much as going from 2D mario to 3D badass zelda like that....

Dam that was one hell of a jump in video games my tiny mind could barely comprehend it!

Zelda: A Link to the Past

Super Mario..........

Sonic

Fifa 1995,96,97

the first Winning Eleven, for some reason, I had 2 play the japanease version...

Most important? Resident Evil 1 (it got me into gaming)

Honorable mentions of other games that were important

MGS1

RE2

FF7

Crash Bandicoot

Diablo

Super Star Wars

What really got me into gaming was Halo Combat Evolved. I was really into Halo from that point up to Reach, which heavily dissapointed me. The two other biggest games for me were Sonic Cd (best sonic game to me) and Super Mario 64, which was the first game I played for more than 20 minutes at a time.

SM64

Banjo Kazooie

Diddy Kong Racing

Jak and Daxter

MGS2

SSX Tricky

I can't make up my mind if it were Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, G.I. Joe or soldier. There were no such things video games when I was a kid.

Asteroids, Pac-Man, Pole Position & Defender got me hooked. Pitfall II made me want to achieve more in games. Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda made me a life-long gamer.

Crash Bandicoot it means a lot to me :cry:

Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear solid. And even though i wasn't really a kid at the time luigis mansion.

Street Fighter II The World Warrior

Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I can replay it over and over and over again and it never gets old.

Uncharted water 2, Romance of three kingdom 4, Nobunaga no Yabou Tenshouki, Xuan Yuan Sword: Dance of maple leaves, and others. (cannot read English when I was little so I only played games that had been translated to my known languages)

Galaxian..... the arcade version.

It's mainly because I use to be able to loop through the whole game once or twice on one quarter. Usually, it's one whole playthrough plus one more. But, I'd stop when the score is something like 999,999.:lol:

Super Mario Bros, Krusty's Fun House, Ocarina of Time and FFVII.

One of my best friends for like the last 12 years, him and I started hanging out a lot when we found out we had a common interest in Final Fantasy VII. Ever since then, we've been hella good friends. I trust that dude with my life.

I started gaming in the Atari 2600 days so there's really no one game from back then that took hold. It took the arrival of the SNES and Genesis that cemented gaming as a hobby for me. Sonic, Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Shinobi, Bad Dudes, Phantasy Star II, and a lot of arcade games.

Super Mario World

Super Mario 64

Pokemon Red
