made the biggest impact on your gaming `career`? Just about any game ranging from the start of gaming to the N64 era can be mentioned.

Hummmmm ! That's a tough question to answer do to the fact that there are somany games out there that impacted my gaming career,but believe it or i think my answer would have to be Contra for the NES.It was the first real coop game that came out and i find that it applies to on-line gaming now in whichyou and your partner(s) have to be on the same page (if any of you have played Contra you know what i'm talking about !)

Ironically, that would have to have been E.T. for the Atari 2600, the first game I'd ever played. Despite the fact that it is widely considered to be one of the worst games in history, it helped me to get out of the "scared of a controller" phase into enjoying games, and helping form me to be the gamer that I am today. LOTS of memories with that game. :P

Tough, Super Mario Brothers was the first game I ever played (I was 2) and I have not stopped since.But MGS and LoZ: OoT were also big influences on my gaming. There were games throughout my life that had much influence in how and what games I play today. 1. Super Mario Brothers 2. Goldeneye 007 (64) 3. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 4. Super Smash Brothers 5. Metal Gear Solid Those would have to the most important in my life.

That credit belongs tonone other thenFinal Fantasy. It was my first RPG and the one that got me started in what would later become my favorite genre of games.Final Fantasy has evolved a lot and has grown to become one of thebest regarded franchises in the world.

Tetris that was such an addictive game.chocolate1325

For me it would have to be Super Mario World. It's the first game I got really hooked on. I beat it so many times, and I did eventually unlock everything in the game. I still play the game a lot today on the GBA, until it was stolen. :( But now I have it on the VC, but I have to use a GC controller which sucks.

Hmmmmmm good question. I had a SNES back then and two games played an important role. I first played Super Mario World got me into gaming first and I was hooked. Then Lttp really really got me going. Then I had a "slump" until I got a GC. I played my GBC and SNES until I got GC. The GC saved me to continue gaming where I am today. I know GC isn't old school, but a little history.
