Super Mario 64
Pilot Wings 64
Balloons Tower Defense
Portal 2
Banjo Kazooie: nuts and bolts (I dont care if it killed the franchise, I really enjoyed this game)
Commander keen
Wingnuts
Burn:Cycle
Myst
Duke Nukem (the first one but also 3D)
Wingnuts was a dumb fmv 'dog fighting' game, but when you beat it you could play it again with silly dialogue. I also remember when setting up the sound card the test audio was a guy saying 'ah veiners, just ze vay I like zem!' In a bad German accent.
Burn:Cycle was an fmv adventure game that I adored, it also came with a sound track cd and a little packet of leaflets based on in game stuff that was really cool. I still listen to the ost on occasion
Sims 3
Skyrim
Animal Crossing New Leaf
Cities: Skyline
Sims 2
So I don't really feel that old when reading the notes, I do however apologise to anyone having an age crisis reading this.
Civ 1. So many happy memories.
Baulders gate on ps2 was my introduction into RPG and a bonding experience with my aunts ex.
GTA 1 was my escape from an abusive house
Tony hawk kept me from getting picked on for my gaming choices
Smash bros had me bonding with my closest friends
NBA street helped me and my brother escape from our parents.
Man, it's hard stratifying games you care about, especially when you have a massive log of them that all impacted you in one way or another. There were a bunch of free Linux games that I have very fond memories of too, like Nexuiz, OpenArena, Abuse, etc. Also a bunch of weird niche games and demos, like One Must Fall and Food Fight and Fur Fighters. It's an impossible task, honestly.
My top 5 were (in no particular order):
Halo >!because I played it with my older sister!<
Skyrim >!because it reminded me that I like RPGs!<
RuneScape >!because it taught me that I like RPGs!<
Minecraft >!because I played it with my little brother!<
DOOM >!because I was young and too scared to play it myself, but my mom enjoyed gaming sometimes, and watching her play are happy memories!<
While it didn't make my list, I played a crazy amount of NFSMW
Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Space Invaders (on an Atari 2600), Tempest and Pitfall!
Just five is so limiting:
Mario Kart Mega Man 3 Donkey Kong Country Jet Moto Final Fantasy VII
Even expanding to ten feels restrictive, alas:
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 The Neverhood Perfect Dark Seventh Guest Earthworm Jim
In chronological order
There are so many more but these were all big moments. Ugh I didn't even mention the IBM golf game or Carmen San Diego, I think I need to do this list based on the systems we had.
Zelda II The Adventure of Link
Super Metroid
Another World / Out of This World
Myst
Doom
Honorable mention goes to Super Mario Land.
Lego Star Wars
Discworld
Unreal Tournament
Doom
Halo
The instructions are contradictory. I’m not sure how it’s possible to comply.
• Pac-Man (Atari 400)
• Pole Position (Arcade)
• Parsec (TI-99/4A)
• The Legend of Zelda (NES)
• Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (PC)
Morrowind Ocarina of Time Donkey Kong Country The Sonic chaos game on dreamcast Time splitters
Moo2
FFT
Golden Eye
Red Alert
Mariokart 64
This list could also be alternatively titled: "Why I flunked out of college the first time."
I played a lot of Atari and Collecovision as a kid, but games didn’t feel “important” until my family bought our first PC. After that, game consoles in general stopped being important. It was a new world of possibility.
Baldur's Gate 1 (I think it took me 10 years to actually get to the point where I was able to finish this, but it was still the best advertisement that D&D, and fantasy media in general, could have hoped for)
DX Ball (breakout clone)
Minesweeper
Gothic 1 (Elder Scrolls just fucking sucks compared to this series, especially the melee combat system and the characterization of the NPCs (TES does have better lore))
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (to this day, I still haven't finished it. Outstanding multiplayer mode, though!)
I'm not that old, ya old coots!
Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards
Super Mario 1 & 3.
688 Attack Sub
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
Halo:CE would probably be the single most important, but it just missed my teenage years.
-Copy Kitty
-Undertale
-Super Smash Bros. (4 & Ultimate)
-Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
-Fantasy Life
In no particular order
Command and Conquer Red Alert 2
Caesar III
Spyro
Metal Gear Solid
Gauntlet
Half life/2 should probably be on there, but it still doesn't feel like an "old" game, especially since I play them every year or two, they haven't left my computer since 2010, and honestly I can't see myself not playing it when I'm 60.
xenogears final fantasy 7 final fantasy 10 super smash Bros melee Diablo 2
In rough chronological order:
Starflyers
Mario Kart
Shadow cities
COD zombies (ios app version)
Minecraft
I'm stopping this list before high school, as I built my first PC and figured out emulation, so I started playing a lot more games.
Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask
Super Smash Bros Melee
Halo: Reach
RuneScape
Guildwars 2
I can't limit it to 5.
I keep trying to, and it doesn't work, I end up leaving out something that I spent a massive amount of time on and also very strongly impacted my conception of what a game can be.
-Pokemon Gold (OG)
-Metroid: Zero Mission/Fusion
-SSBM
-Battlefront II (The OG one)
-The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
In no particular order and with limited time thinking about it:
My first console was a NES I inherited, but the first console gotten for me was a SNES, and the first console I received new in box was a GameCube. PS2 underrepresented in this list although Guitar Hero was on there and that game was wildly important for getting me more interested in music in general.
