Space Invaders!

Double Dragon
Arkanoid
Tetris
Jack Nicholson's Golf

Shinobi at the arcade. At home, I loved Aliens on the Commodore 64.

Sonic 3.
I might post a review up of it in the next few days. Doubt it'll be well-received, but I can hope.

starfox on the SNES.

epic music, epic difficulty, epic polygon count.

Spyros 2 and 3. I was crap at them myself (never got past the first boss on 2), but I spent ages playing them.

My favorite game was Mario and the Legend of the Seven Stars. I've wanted to play that again ever since I was a little kid, but could never find it again! I also loved Super Mario Kart, and have never seen another 'kart' game that could compare. Also, Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World...apparently I was a Mario kid.

When I was -really- young, I played a few computer games. One about these two monkey-kid things, one boy and one girl, who were in this treehouse. It's probably called 'The Treehouse' or something. And then there was this other game where you played a scuba diver who swam around shining his flashlight on stuff to find hidden fish or something. When you solved a puzzle, it would complete more of a rainbow. No idea what that one was called.

DOOM. Its how me and my father bonded, we just played DOOM for the PC every day for about 4 hours every day when he came home from work.

Harvest Moon

I grew up on the Sega Saturn, never even had an n64... The game BUG for the saturn was very entertaining, especially for a kid around 7 or 8. Me and some friends even took out the saturn a while back, and let the memories flow.

My favorite when I was a child (and still is) is Star Fox 64. I still play it every once in a while, sometimes shouting random quotes from the game.

Mine was Princess Tomato & The Salad Kingdom.

...what?

Im a girl! I was like, 6!

*cough*even though I played the rom again when I was 16*cough*

My favorite games? Well thats easy first game i ever played and still addicting today
Sonic the Hedgehog
then theirs:
Sonic 2+3 and sonic & Knuckles
Sonic CD
I also loved the board game "Clue" for the SNES
And the Red Version Pokemon

Without a doubt Final Fantasy 3, as it was known to America on the SNES cartridge, cemented my love for RPG's and my present, merely slight, addiction to gaming. To this day it is one of my favorites.

I was too young to fully understand what I was doing in Dragon Quest. All I remember is "OH MY GOD! SLIME!" and then I'm pretty sure I was lost after that.

Also, I think I have to give a nod to Shining in the Darkness for the Genesis. The Nintendo was my first system...but the SNES and Genesis just gave me so much to play with. And I remember Shining in the Darkness' graphics just blowing my mind. Granted, I never beat it back then. I have now...it's an alright game. Tough as hell if you don't spend hours leveling.

Anyway...yeah.. Final Fantasy III (VI) for the SNES. Legendary in my eyes.

lets see here

two little gems from the snes days that never get recognition are Gemfire and EVO The Search for Eden

man those two had me addicted

the other game i played (and used cheats for) was NBA Jam: Tournement Edition

the cheats on this game were so fun

The game I liked most as a child? Duke Nukem 3D... Violence, humor and babes did it for me even when I was eight.

i haven't owned a console before the Game Cube sadly but i loved this old dos game for the pc called Search for Cetus, i never saw it again after i lost the floppy it was on but i still have fond memories of it, until i discovered Readneck Rampage and found a whole new obsession until my grades started falling (i was and am still lazy) and i was banned from games until i could get money to buy my own, then no one could say a thing HA.

tiredinnuendo:
I loved a game called "Hero" on the C64. You had a jetpack and a gun, which pretty much made for the best combo ever as far as my youthful mind was concerned.

- J

Holy ess, that was a great game. But it was a helicopter pack, not a jet pack, which somehow makes it even better.

My first ever console game was Tarzan as far as I can remember, although Pokemon certainly has a prominent place in my young memories, but i'd have to say Super Smah Bros was one of my favourites.

Little Nemo and Ducktales were my favorite NES games. The kids in my neighborhood would set up Tecmo Super Bowl leagues too, which was awesome.

Once I got my first PC, I played about a billion hours of Duke Nukem and Rise of the Triad. Rise of the Triad was super classic. I liked being able to burn my pixelated foes down to skeletal piles of ash.

Early Childhood : Kirby´s Adventure*, Mega Man Games*, Mario Games and Winter Games on C64
Later Childhood : Sega Rally 2*, Star Craft, Pokemon :), Turok*, Panzer General 2*

*still playing them today

Command and Conquer, Metal Gear Solid, Super Mario 64 and Super Smash bros., Syndicate wars (Old computer version)and Spyro the Dragon (took ages to get the last loot).

"alex the kid, alex the kid, alex the kid in miracle world..."

the theme songs from that haunt my brain even 15 years later

FinalH:
wow i feel really old now

The Secret Island of Dr. Quandary (DOS)
Duke Nukem 3D
Doom
several more Dos games

Orginal Gameboy game (the big fat gray gameboy)
Zelda links awakening

Well, I'm fixing to make you feel a lot younger.

Pac-Man didn't come out on the Atari 2600 until I was eight years old, so my favorite games to start off with were Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Missile Command, and Break-Out, because they were pretty much the only ones around. A bit later came the really AMAZING games like Defender, Joust, Pitfall, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and E.T. Yes, boys and girls... I have to confess a terrible, awful, horrible, shameful secret.

I own a copy of E.T. There, I said it. It's not even in a landfill. It's in a closet. And I played it. Oh God, I won it! I'm so ashamed!

Ahem.

My absolute favorite game back then was probably a quirky little game called "Yar's Revenge", though. All I can say is thank God games have gotten better since then. I was fifteen before the first Final Fantasy game came out.

WARNING: no gay games in case you think that.

I still play beloved titles like mario, sonic, crash, spyro, etc.

I also am finding old fashion violence in many E rated titles. Anyone eles?

You idiot! That kind of trash belongs in landfills like Bill Gates or the Mets.

Didn't it, though? I wish they'd remake it for current hardware. It would be cool to have a 3D shooter/platformer centered around a fly using his corrosive balls of exploding spit to attack the enemy, eat through the walls of their base and gobble the soft, gooey creatures inside. Knowing game developers though, they'd just screw it up. You're cruising along just fine when Marketing shows up and tells you they've got the title in the bag. Since Pirates are so en vogue, it's going to be Yar's Matey. Then it's just straight downhill to... I'm afraid that thought will have to wait until later. I just nodded off and Julia Roberts started singing an opera about shoes. There's no putting off a warning sign like that, so vaya con queso. Until we meet again.

Note to self: dig up copies of

Risky woods
Gods
Skyroads
Privateer 1&2
Full Throttle
Rebel Assault
Sam and Max Hit the Road
Gizmos & Gadgets
LBA
One Must Fall 2097

Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Mario World II: Yoshi's Island, F-Zero X.

At some point as a child, i was addicted to all of these games...
Pokemon Red had a strong hold of me too i have to admit, back when Pokemon felt like an adventure, not a franchise...
