What were the 10 most...

Postby Jamie » Tue Jun 12, 2007 1:19 pm

...important games for you growing up?

I've been thinking it through and, in no particular order;

1. Tekken 3
2. Gran Turismo 3: A-spec
3. Mortal Kombat 2
4. Pokémon Red
5. Twisted Metal 2
6. Mario Kart 64
7. Sonic 3 (& Knuckles)
8. Goldeneye
9. Command & Conquer: Red Alert
10. Grand Theft Auto 3

From the mega-drive to the PS2 for me

edit: can't believe I forgot GTA :P

If you want to know what makes me sad
Well it's hope, the endurance of faith
A battle that lasts a lifetime
A fight that never ends

Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
Tell my mother I am sorry
And I loved her

ok, im not actually a "gamer"... hand-eye coordination just isnt my thing... But there are several games that I enjoyed as a kid and teenager anyhow.. very roughly chronologically...

1. Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood (on our old Amiga, as a very little kid)
1. Mario Bros. (sadly, I am old enough to have spent a lot of time playing the oringinal, on an original Nintendo)
2. Defender of the Crown (on the Amiga again)
3. Sonic 2, the Game gear editon
4. Gex (whoo hoo, my brother got a PS1 and we felt very technologically advanced)
5. Wild Arms (Loved this)
6. Sim City (again, the Original)
7. Age of Empires
8. The Sims (because who doesnt like to play God)
9. Harvest Moon (on PS1.. possibly the most preposterous game ever, but somehow very satisfying)
10. The Sims 2...(my current addiction)

No particular order, therefore no numbers.

Tekken 2
MarioKart
Spyro the Dragon
Tombi
Goldeneye
Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped
Crash Team Racing
Prince of Persia (original PC game...but the newer PS2(?) version was good too)
Gran Turismo (PC)
Jazz Jackrabbit (FLOPPYDISK YEAH)

Uh...and can't forget the classic PC games I had (which I've been reacquainted with <3)...Pipe Dream, Chip's Challenge, Pacman, Tetravex...most importantly TETRIS.

EDIT: Ooh, Sonic on SEGA.

AGain with the lack of order, as it would make this even harder.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Jedi Knight
Ocarina of time
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Super Smash Brothers
Operation Flashpoint
Half life
Max payne
Rollercoaster Tycoon

Actually they basically did come to mind in order of importance. I kept it to stuff before I was 16, seems about right for "growing up."

7.Spyro Gateway to Glimmer :oops:
Don't be ashamed! Here's why:

1. Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
2. Spyro: Gateway to Glimmer
3. Pokemon Crystal
4. Spyro 1

I was somewhat of a Spyro fan. Why did I not pick up Final Fantasy sooner? Now, when I was even younger, these were what I played.

5. Sims: along with Holiday, Hot Date and Unleashed.
6. Lego Island I
7. The Animals of Farthing Wood
8. Muppet Treasure Island (3 disks :shock:)
9. Catz 2, 3, 4 and 5.
10. Well...erm...*thinks* It's hard to place a final one since no other game comes to mind as important when I was a kid. Maybe 102 Dalmatians, since I played it on both PS1 and then GBC. >_<
