I had been through four consoles and five jobs before most of the games in the notes had come out.
My top five were virtually chiselled on stone tablets by comparison :)
Pretty much every Sierra franchise.
Warcraft, C&C, Street fighter two turbo, and final fantasy!
Homm3 is GOAT. I still play that with friends and relatives to this day.
It really was the best out of all the homms. I still play it too. Absolute perfection of a game.
Bro, it's on the play store. You can get it on a tablet, and is very much playable.
Boulders Gate? I know And I have it, along with a few other editions. I’ve just never get past the first tavern without losing interest. Which is strange because I was hooked when I first played it.
Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Space Invaders (on an Atari 2600), Tempest and Pitfall!
Super Mario 64
Pilot Wings 64
Balloons Tower Defense
Portal 2
Banjo Kazooie: nuts and bolts (I dont care if it killed the franchise, I really enjoyed this game)
Baulders gate on ps2 was my introduction into RPG and a bonding experience with my aunts ex.
GTA 1 was my escape from an abusive house
Tony hawk kept me from getting picked on for my gaming choices
Smash bros had me bonding with my closest friends
NBA street helped me and my brother escape from our parents.
Sims 3
Skyrim
Animal Crossing New Leaf
Cities: Skyline
Sims 2
So I don't really feel that old when reading the notes, I do however apologise to anyone having an age crisis reading this.
Mine is:
...
No order:
•Chrono Trigger •FFVII •Panzer Dragoon Saga •GTA3 •EverQuest •(Street Fighter Alpha 2 is up there too)
GTA: San Andreas and NFSU2. But not for the reasons you think. They were the first games that I could play on my school laptop. It was super slow (amd A6 1450 Apu, 4 gb ram) and those ran perfectly fine.
Heh I played NFSUG2 on a laptop with 2 GB RAM. It shipped with Vista but ran great with XP.
2 GB was a ton back then! You could fit a whole OS into that, twice!
I actually have a pentium M laptop that I played NFSU2 on during that time. My sister would use my school laptop (we weren't allowed to use my home computer) and I'd use the pentium m machine. I wouldn't be surprised if the pentium m had better single core performance than the A6.
Edit: I found a few benchmarks and the 735 is somewhat faster in single core performance provided that the instruction set is supported.
Games that i bonded with my siblings playing growing up. Our lives would have not been the same without them.
Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros, Xena Warrior Princess, Going Quackers, Pokémon Stadium
In chronological order
There are so many more but these were all big moments. Ugh I didn't even mention the IBM golf game or Carmen San Diego, I think I need to do this list based on the systems we had.
Bro, I almost forgot about Sonic spinball! What an acid trip of a take on Sonic.
Bold choices with both Spinball and Final Fantasy 8. You're set to have some interesting fandoms with very deep chips on their shoulders -- not to mention cosplay buster swords -- arriving at your doorstep shortly.
Eep.
-Copy Kitty
-Undertale
-Super Smash Bros. (4 & Ultimate)
-Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
-Fantasy Life
Have you played the new Fantasy Life? It's great
I have, and i like it very much :)
I was in high school when I bought my first console, so it's pretty much just Landstalker and Phantasy Star IV.
In no particular order and with limited time thinking about it:
My first console was a NES I inherited, but the first console gotten for me was a SNES, and the first console I received new in box was a GameCube. PS2 underrepresented in this list although Guitar Hero was on there and that game was wildly important for getting me more interested in music in general.
Am I young or everyone else old?
Super Mario Galaxy
Red Alert 2
Age of Empires 2
Fallout New Vegas
TES Oblivion
While it didn't make my list, I played a crazy amount of NFSMW
FF VII
Ocarina of Time
Ghost & goblins
Galaga '88
Ninja Spirit
california games.
Flowers of crystal.
Tetris.
Daedelian opus.
Tetris.
ET because fuck me and fuck that game
Commander keen
Wingnuts
Burn:Cycle
Myst
Duke Nukem (the first one but also 3D)
Wingnuts was a dumb fmv 'dog fighting' game, but when you beat it you could play it again with silly dialogue. I also remember when setting up the sound card the test audio was a guy saying 'ah veiners, just ze vay I like zem!' In a bad German accent.
Burn:Cycle was an fmv adventure game that I adored, it also came with a sound track cd and a little packet of leaflets based on in game stuff that was really cool. I still listen to the ost on occasion
Man, this is hard to narrow down.
Lemmings. Prince of Persia. Doom. Tomb Raider 1. Gran Turismo.
Lots of honourable mentions though.
Man, it's hard stratifying games you care about, especially when you have a massive log of them that all impacted you in one way or another. There were a bunch of free Linux games that I have very fond memories of too, like Nexuiz, OpenArena, Abuse, etc. Also a bunch of weird niche games and demos, like One Must Fall and Food Fight and Fur Fighters. It's an impossible task, honestly.
Pokémon, wow, final fantasy tactic advanced, harvest moon, civilization I guess ?
Hmm definitely Minecraft, Skyrim, and Sa2b. As for the other two… probably Town of Salem and Fantasy Life for the 3ds
I still play Minecraft, I played some modded skyrim last year (and got the oblivion remaster) and I literally got a steam deck primarily so I could play sa2b on it whenever I want. I’ve been loving the fantasy life sequel that just came out too. The only thing I don’t really play anymore is town of Salem bc the servers suck even worse now. So few players that you’re always stuck with racist trolls and shit
Basically, teen me had pretty good taste
Counter-Strike 1.4 Counter-Strike 1.5 Counter-Strike 1.6 Call of Duty: United Offensive Day of Defeat
