Definitely the original Mario for NES. I was like 3 and had to call my mom into the room to jump over every single gap for me. Needless to say she put in the time to teach me how really quickly.

Then a lot of Legend of Zelda. Still probably the franchise I've spent the most time playing to this day.

As for computer games, it was stuff like Ski Free, Math Blaster, and Oregon Trail that got me through elementary school. I was terrible at Oregon Trail. Apparently filling your wagon with bullets and buffalo meat and forgoing medical supplies and clothes and your small children isn't a sustainable lifestyle.

In 2001 I picked up SC:BW and never looked back!

Reading some of these posts made me realize how old I am. I think my first PC game was something on a friend's 286, F117 Stealth Fighter and one of the first Leisure suit Larry games where you have to type in text commands, then there was a big jump into the Pentium era games like Warcraft 2 and Command and Conquer that stood out the most in memory.

Some King Arthur game on the Dragon 32 (For those of you who are too young to remember computers named in this way, that's 32k of RAM!)

Stargoose for PC ^_^ I was so young I can barely remember playing it, I think I was 4 or 5. I had to get my dad to launch it for me from DOS and I don't think I ever sat still long enough to play it for more than 10 minutes lol.

DUDE. I forgot all about lego island! That was like my favorite game when I was younger! I remember I would always try and get it to run on our newer computers and never could.

Oh well. Thanks for bringing back some awesome memories!

Oh my God. I thought I was the only one who played that game!!! I loved it so much but then my disk got scratched up. I used to love building the stuff then racing around the island on it. And the music was so awesome. I can still remember the song Brick by Brick or whatever it was called!
