Games that Shaped My Childhood
These are the games that have shaped me as a gamer (whatever that means).
List items
-
The platformer that got me into platformers. I played the entire series, but this is the one that got me hooked.
-
Quite frankly, one of the best space sims ever. The reason I bought a joystick. Also a killer plot and the first game where I "played as a bad guy".
-
I racked up a $146 internet bill, back when providers charged by the hour. Still my favourite RTS.
-
The first sports game I played, on my friend's NES. Never played the actual game... just kept trying to get into fights.
-
Believe it or not, this game got me into multiplayer shooters.
-
My first fighting game. I used to stare at the arcade for hours, watching its demo loop.
-
The first game that ever really scared me.
-
The game that taught me a mouse was the best aiming device for a shooter, ever. Also, mods like crazy.
-
The adventure/puzzle game that got me addicted to puzzlers. Also first game I cheated at.
-
The only game I played on a cousin's 3DO. Plenty of fun, for the time.
-
Greatest game on the Sega Genesis. Period.
-
An awesomely terrible FMV adventure game. Loved abusing the hints with the save system to solve the puzzles.
-
My first and only console in my childhood was a Game Gear. This game got me through many a road trip, despite its lack of save system.
-
One of the three games I had for Game Gear, it had a semi-open world mechanic, trap-building, platforming, and multiple endings. The first game I ever beat on a Hard difficulty.
-
My first MMO, and the game that showed me that I'm not really into MMOs.
