Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap - This game is fucking awesome. I spent so many hours playing it as a young child, and I still play it on occasion.

Heroes of Might and Magic 2 - This game was my obsession before sc/bw came out. I spent countless hours playing it. Awesome game.

Such an awesome game. I remember game after game after game playing 1v1 vs a friend, both on the same keyboard. Actually I recently picked it up again on an emulator and it was still fun as hell. Masterpiece.

Also:

StarFlight

Millennium 2.2

Space Quest I (original EGA version, not the disgusting VGA remake please)

Dungeon Master

Captive

I'd say my most defining games were:

Secret of Mana (loving it!)
Lufia (even though i didn't ever have it and played it via a friend, i played it probably 3-4 times completely and with completing that cave with the random levels and huge number of levels where you couldn't die and ofc couldn't safe... man this was hard ^^)
Zelda on Nintendo, SNES and the first one on Gameboy, later on Ocarina of Time (didn't play other)
Diablo 1 and later on 2
Final Fantasy 7 (played others too but this definitely the most)
Starcraft (without broodwar, i played the original one much more and didn't have broodwar long time after it was released; plus back in the days i was mucho fan and stuff like 10 min no rush ^^)
Warcraft 3 (yes i played Warcraft2 too (dunno if Warcraft1, maybe a little bit) but not that long)

There is a lot of other stuff i played, but not that long. Like Dune 2, Lemmings, Baldurs Gate 1, Civilization 2 and Colonization (good one, definitely played it more than Civ 2, one of the first games i played probably ^^)!

edit:
And ofc, how could i forget...
Pokemon Blue edition ^^ didn't play any else, but this one definitely a lot...

edit2:
forgot all those shooters... my first online game was the first Unreal Tournament, that was fun back then.. although i don't like FPS any more. But i definitely played Counter Strike the most of all those shooter games. Probably even more than many of the games mentioned at top but tbh it didn't really come to my mind, think i didn't really like it.

I only count the most memorable pre-PS2 games I played in my childhood.

[image loading]

Pokemon Red/Blue: Probably the most addicting game I played as a child. Bought a gameboy PURELY for this game

Crash Bandicoot: before I had a playstation, I used to always go over to my friend's house just to play this game. He had no memory card so I always wanted to see how far I could get each time. Managed to complete the game once

(without side missions of course).

[image loading]

My favorite of the 3 Digimon world games on the playstation. I gave up when I got stuck at one point and forgot what my mission objective was T_T. The world was huge as fuck.

[image loading]

Pepsiman: Traded with a friend a 14BD ($42) copy of Hercules (the game) for a pirated copy of this game. Totally worth it

Majesty: Just an awesome game when I played it. Got pretty damn addicted to the game. Looks kinda stupid now that I know more about PC gaming XD

[image loading]

Tekken 3: My favorite pre-PS2 fighting game. I've played a lot of Marvel vs Capcom with my friends before but Tekken was what I thought I could go on to play forever XD

[image loading]

Marvel vs Capcom: I owned my friends so much on this game XD. I preferred Tekken but I loved all the flashy shit MvC had to offer.

[image loading]

Mortal Kombat 4: I'm not gonna lie. I loved the gore.

My first MMORPG. Props to you if you can guess it's name just by looking at the picture

SO many of my favorite games have already been posted, but aside from the obvious ones (FF7, Star Fox 64, all of the Zeldas, etc) here it is:

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

Secret of Monkey Island

Another World

Ecco the Dolphin

Golden Axe (the first trollface that I've seen :D)

Lemmings

Loadrunner

River City Ransom

or the less popular breakfast mod, Wilford Brimley Battle

Spiderman for the Genesis

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon

Gold Rush

Sam n Max

Banjo Kazooie

Wolfenstein, Spear of Destiny

and who could forget this asshole :D

Defiantly my most memorable games would be
StarCraft: This was the first game that really got me into gaming, having 5 man lan parties were the best. Since we were like 9 we wouldn't let any one attack with more than 10 units, aka tickle attacks. I remember when we had to get our parents to type in cheat codes because we couldn't spell.
Diablo 2: My favorite RPG of all time.
Lemmings: played this when I was really young, but was always a fun game.
Warlords: First game I ever played. Whenever I went to my grandparents, all the kids would get together and play it. Since it got removed from that computer I've never been able to find it though

.
Pokemon and Zelda Gameboy games: My parents would never get me a console, so I had a gameboy and computer until like 13.
Zoombini's : Another game I always played at grandparents. I still remember when you make the pizzas for the angry trees and they say "There's something on here I don't like".
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure: Almost forgot this one, this was the first game I ever had at my house.

This thread brings back so many good memories :D

Goddamn this thread is a nostalgiasplosion.

I never really had a 'defining' game, but I played a ton of the stuff here. SCBW, Heroes of Might and Magic, Diablo 2, Worms, Ocarina of Time, Pokemon, Baldur's Gate 2, various FFs...

Oh my god, I remember having the same experience! My parents would always lecture me whenever I asked them too, "you won't get any better if you keep cheating!" Ohh how they were wrong =P.

What is this game called. I tried searching Lost Mind but I don't think that's the name of it. I remember this game I never really understood it as a kid but I want to play it again.

Damn this is an amazing thread:

Here are the top games that defined my childhood! I'll mix it up and add onto the nostalgia factor by adding the intros to the games! :D

POKEMON RED
[image loading]

ALIENS 3(Gameboy)

STARCRAFT BROOD WAR
[image loading]

(This was a given)

WARIO LAND
[image loading]

TUROK: DINOSAUR HUNTER
[image loading]

PERFECT DARK
[image loading]

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME
[image loading]

This game along with the next, changed how I think/play/ and appreciate games.

METAL GEAR SOLID 2: SONS OF LIBERTY
[image loading]

This game changed my life. :'( I have never seen a game with more attention to detail and top notch story than this (yeah it's convoluted and confusing, but if you get into it it'll open worlds man.. OPEN WORLDS).

That's the short list.

A few more I won't add (for brevity's sake) are:

1080 Snowboarding
Banjo-Kazooie
GoldenEye
Tetris
Super Mario Land(gameboy)
Diddy Kong Racing
Donkey Kong Land(gameboy)
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Mario Kart 64
and moooore

God it's good to look back at all these amazing titles.. Games are definitely not what they used to be! /oldman

If it wasn't for this game, I would've never discovered RTS games, and thus BW. ^___^
