This one up there is probably my all-time favorite SNES game, you should try it if u liked Secret of Mana at all [image loading]

Prob the best castlevania game and it isn't even close imo xD [image loading]

I think I liked this game more than any FF

Shud be enough, starcraft shud be in there too but it's kind of a given

Although I was playing games with my family back on the ZX Spectrum (Yes, ZX Spectrum, the console that would have you waiting 30 mins to load up a single game, but fail to load more than half the time.. wow), I guess I was too young for them to really have formed any real memories of the games themselves.

I would have to say that the games that shaped my early years (in regards to gaming) would have to be:

+ Show Spoiler [Amiga/Amiga CD32:] +

The Monkey Island Series (already been mentioned)

The Indiana Jones games (already been mentioned)

Beneath a Steel Sky (absolutely amazing adventure game. Very interesting and well-thought out plot line and puzzles. You can download this game for free on the PC now.
[image loading]

Speedball 2 (best sports game ever made)
[image loading]

Sensible Soccer (best football game ever made)
[image loading]

The Dizzy Series (some of the most challenging puzzle platformers ever)
[image loading]

Flashback (has already been mentioned a few times in this thread, but is a really really amazing game)

Lotus Turbo Challenge (1, 2 & 3)
[image loading]

F/A 18 Interceptor (amazing military flight sim, one of the best I've ever played)
[image loading]

Heimdall 2 (very deep and challenging game, really want to go back and play this one through again actually)
[image loading]

The Cadaver games (amazing puzzle adventure games. Used to watch my brother play these for hours on end)
[image loading]

Pirates (If you've played Mount & Blade, you might have an idea of how addictive this kind of open-ended game can be. Amazing game. What an experience to build up a fleet of massive galleons and start forging alliances with all the various colonists in the Caribbean, or becoming a pirate yourself and hunting down treasure.)
[image loading]

Megalomania (probably the first RTS I ever played. Amazing and often over-looked example of early strategy games. It was released in 1991)
[image loading]

+ Show Spoiler [Playstation/N64] +

Colin McCrae Rally (countless hours were spent trying to set and break new time trial records with my bros on this one. Amazing racing game)
[image loading]

Final Fantasy 7 (enough has been said about this already. Very enjoyable stuff)

Zelda :OoT (mentioned already)

Goldeneye (my first ever taste of multiplayer FPS)

Mario 64 (of course. Played it through with my friend in one day. One of my greatest gaming achievements

)

There are so so many more that I could mention and that some have been mentioned already, but those lot were very influential to me personally, because of the amount of time I spent on each of them, not just by myself, but with my family also. Some really great memories.

I have to start out by saying that this thread is great on so many levels. Excellent idea.

Beat this so many times I can't even count them all haha...
[image loading]

A timeless classic IMO...

Double Dragon 2 successfully mixed a fighting game with a side scroller

SMB 2 was one of the best in the series because you could actually pick up enemies, the stages were weird, and the bosses were awesome
[image loading]

This game marked the beginning of a whole new way of looking at video games. A true revolution that redefined everything...

*EDIT*

OHOH, and one more! I beat this every way possible. Got the rocket launcher secret unlocked by skipping the magnum(!!).

Cannon Fodder 1 (not 2)
Basically the most bloody game ever...

Some shameless plead. Anyone has the orginal PC CGI intro of Cannon Fodder (the one that needed over 620KB of free basic memory to run). That was one of the most kick ass old CGI's videos ever made... Worms 1 had some funny ones but that intro of cannon fodder was still better.

Larry 7
Dont need to comment that ;P

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

Man this game rocked... Well had some bugs (especially with Plato diary) but it was definitely one of the best games ever. Finished one route and got stuck on Indy physical route in the desert with a broken german car (didnt ffound a way to get a spark... well i was young)

Final Fantasy 7
Well the only FF that i finished... Man i need to finish the rest... The classic RPG with the best skill system (hated the one in FF8). Materia slots for ever. Finall fight was a true war of attrition for me due to me making ultimate bad choices in the last parties forming (was thinking i would be able to change between the two parties before the final battle) and a very small supply of cure small (or whatever it was called). Imagine a party that was almost completely out of mana, usuable summons and in status mini... not to mention that the Vincent had a limit break on with a mini status (and he had like phoenix, and all bahamuts...). It was annoying 4h battle ^^;;

Tie Fighter

Way better than X-wing. Was a reason for a rash departure to hardware heaven of over 5 mouses (due to the fact that it didnt work good with my joystick). Had some bugs if you destroy "some" random units your campaign would crash...

Jagged Alliance 2
One of the best tactical turn base strategy games ever. Lots of side quests, weapons, npc and more.... Once i played on sci-fi setting.... Than never again... Those lobsters or sth were ultra annoying (they forced me to cheat... due to jamming off all weapons in my team right before the queen lair)

Dune 2

The first RTS. Also till CnC: RA1 it had the most unique function in any RTS the double weapon system which chose which weapon to use at the time ----> Harkonen Heavy Infantry. If enemy is atacking use the rockets, when the enemy shortens the distance depending on armor of enemy use either miniguns or rockets... RA1 Mamoth tank was the unit that used the similar system. And Dune 2000.... worst RTS ever.... it destroyed Dune 2 legacy.

Kyranidia 3
The humor almost killed me.... And "Daddy" at the end was priceless

I will just define my childhood from being from the earliest games I remember and love until the end of high school.

Kirby for Nintendo
Shining Force for Sega Genesis
Death Gate Cycle for PC (played with uncle and went through it with him)
Kings Quest series and similar games (same uncle during those same summers ha)
Sword of Shannara for PC (also played with uncle)
Mech Warrior Series for PC ( also played with my uncle during summers spent there, he would do the mission then I would. Great times)
Warcraft 1-3 for PC
Diablo 2 and LoD for PC
Starcraft and BW for PC
Final Fantasy 7,8,9 for PC/Play Station
The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind for PC

All these games occupied tons of my time and/or just impacted my thinking on other games and in other areas as well.

This
10000000this

This one was also HUUUUUGE in my childhood... God so many fond memories of these games, makes me want to cry tears of joy

) So many other excellent games too, gonna list just a handful here, among many, many, many other excellent ones

No need to comment on this one.

SC1 was also like top 5 from my youth.... sooooo damn good, and I came into contact with it at such an early age.

The amazement I felt when playing this game, and others... the magic... all that are the best memories of my childhood

So many fond memories... I could never truly do justice to all the excellent games that gave me such feelings of wonder.

Such a great trip to nostalgialand too, seeing all the other games I loved in this thread, represented by everyone... gives me, in the words of Daynine, Bubbly feelings indeed

Lost Vikings is probably the most epic game I ever played. I loved it.

I have wasted incredible amounts of time on HOMM3...

Super Mario and Zelda games into Final Fantasy/Chrono Trigger games into SimCity into StarCraft/BW...after SC there were a few more games like the Sims, but really I quit most games after discovering girls. Since then, SC2 is really the only game that I have played since.
