Favorite game as a Child?

[Frybird]

Winter Games (C64)
Firetrap (C64)
The Secret of Monkey Island (DOS)
Pitstop (C64)
Rebel Assault (DOS)

and "Der Planer" wich has you manage a freight forwarding business (hope the translation is right...it's like a delivery company, but only with trucks)...Germans are pretty sick when it comes to simulation games ^^.

Sonic and Knuckles and Abe's Oddysee are the two I have the fondest memories of, Sonic 2 was good fun as well.

When I was younger, I wasn't really into games. I only had a couple games, I had Pokemon for the gameboy, and Batman and some other game on my Sega. I can't even remember what Sega it was, because I just called it the Sega. I wasn't even allowed to go on the computer unless I was doing homework.

Damn. This thread makes me feel embarrassingly young.

The first game I remember playing intensively was some highly obscure, Dutch-only endutainment version of Rayman which my parents bought for me.

Obviously, they had no idea what sort of monster thay had unleashed. The sudden appearance of 'Shadow Rayman' temporarily traumatised my young mind, however, and it caused me to stop gaming for a short while.

...

What? I was very impressionable at that age.

Later, when I got my own bonafide PSX, I ended up a fanatical fanboy of (in order): Crash Bandicoot 2 and 3, Tekken 3, Final Fantasy VII, Star Ocean 2 and last but not least; Suikoden II.

To this day, my eyes grow dreamy whenever a track from a Suikoden game pops up on my playlist.

Sonic 3 and Knuckles
Super Mario Bros.
Castlevania
The Legend of Zelda (NES Gold Edition..I think it's still in my house somewhere)

There was actually one game as a child I really enjoyed playing, but I was so young I didn't remember what that game was. But I guess if I have to pick one I can name, I'll go with Sonic the Hedgehog. The 8-year old Sonic fanboy in me will never die.

Quake. Its not the game I've played the most but it is whith out a doubt what sucked me into gaming.

ah yes i remeber some good times on that game an instant clasic

 

[Dectilon]

Mega Man...

and Marathon.

 

[Yan-Yan]

Vectorman. I loved that one for the Genesis, if only because the cheat codes were SO awesome. Things like "DRACULA" and "CALL A CAB" or "ABRA CADABRA".

Ballz was a really good one too. Early "3d" fighting game using spheres to make the characters appear 3d was cheap and effective. Plus the game play was really fun.

 

[Crowbites]

This seems to be a common one here but Sonic 2 was the first game I was really obsessed with.
Other than that there was:
Spyro
Echo the dolphin
Some Apogee game called Raptor that I couldn't stop playing
Monster Bash
Worms
And I suppose a bit later on, Tekken 3

There's probably more than that but those are the first ones that came to mind.

 

[Joos]

This is a cool thread! My childhood favorites are (in no particular order):
Eye of the Beholder (Amiga)
Turrican 2 (Amiga)
Metroid (NES)
Metal Gear (NES)
Zelda (NES)

This sucks. There WEREN'T any video games when I was a child!

lol I was about to say mine and call everyone here young, but you beat me.. the first video game I recall was GI Joe for C64.. http://www.lemon64.com/?mainurl=http%3A//www.lemon64.com/reviews/view.php%3Fid%3D231

Coming from Europe, in the 90's there was only one game - Sonic the Hedgehog.

Although S2 was heavily hyped (and lived up to it), Sonic CD holds closest to my heart.

 

[Mstrswrd]

Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. This is one of my favorite rpg's of all time

I agree. Another great game was Kid Icarus. The original Kirby was always fun. And the Zelda series, Megaman series, and others.

 

[Alphavillain]

"Super Mario World" or the Zelda games on SNES and GameBoy. Also one of the "Ganbare Goeman" Japanese import games for the SNES.
