Favorite game as a Child?

[JayCro]

I'd have to go with Flashback, where the guy lost his memory and has to uncover a conspiracy. A bit sketchy on the details, been ages since I played it.

Was the first game I remember playing for the storyline rather then just hitting and/or shooting things. From what I remember though, the game play was pretty awesome for it's time.

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

Exactly! I mean, my favorite when I was 5-10? *wikipedia timeline dig* Space Invaders.

Don't worry, we can make our own thread. About Sticklebrix and Poleidoblocks and Fischertechnik and Meccano and Wendy Houses.

I mostly played the usual SNES games: Donkey Kong Country, megaman, and everything Mario. Then I was obsessed with Final Fantasy later on.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Mario 64
Starfox 64

Cadaver on the Atari ST, a great isometric dungeon crawling puzzle game. Then the SSI AD&D games (Hillsfar, Pools of Radiance, Eye of the Beholder etc.) on 5 1/4" floppy disc's on my dad's 286 PC.

My first gaming system was a Commodore +4 but since I've blocked out most of my early childhood memories I can't really remember any games for that other than treasure island which i could complete in about 30 minutes.

i'd probably say 'Lands of Lore' or 'The perfect general 2'

Commander Keen.
And it's still awesome.

Link to the Past, for the win. My mom's name is Zelda so I kinda grew up on Zelda games.

[weirdaljedifan2]

Kirby Super Star, I grew up playing that game and I still consider it my mostfavorite game of all time.

 

[MaxRaine]

My favorite game as a child was first Super Mario Bros. as it as the first game I came in contact with at a friend's place.

Then I finally got myself a console, the Sega Megadrive (Genesis) and Sonic and I loved it for as long as it took me to get Toejam and Earl, still one of the best games ever due to it's completly awesome cast of enemies =D I remember walking around on the higher levels terrified to get crushed to death by an ice cream truck xD
