What was the first game you adored?

[RJ 17]

Oooooo, that's a good question. For me as a kid, I think it was Mega Man 2. Don't think I ever beat it way back then (I could never get past the Laser Beam o' Death fall in Quick Man's stage, even with Flash Man's power) but I still loved playing it.

 

[Spectrre]

For me it's probably Pokèmon Red on the Gameboy Colour. That game was the sh*t ..

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

I've played a few Nintendo games when I was little, but when I played Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Genesis, I knew that I wanted to get a game console. Since then, it has been my favorite franchise.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I'm not too sure which is my first. It could be-
Super Mario Land
Starwing
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Mario Kart

first game I REALLY got into was the Quest for Glory series. I just wish I could play some of those games on a modern spec PC without the game going berserk because they were made for something 10+ years past. I think Shadows of Darkness is the worst culprit if I remember right.

Maybe GoG will have them in a modern computer friendly form... I should check...

Heroes Quest (aka Quest for Glory 1 before they got sued) is still one of my favorite games. I've found builds before that will make them work on newer machines but number is still twitchy on anything newer than a 486.

Frantically trying not get killed by the Three Stooges in brigand armor.....good times.

Still got a boxed copy with the original name and both large and small floppy versions of the game.

My very first game ever. A type of Mario game on the Gameboy Colour. (I can't remember the full name of the game).

 

[skennedy929]

Super Metroid on SNES

 

[CrashBang]

Spyro: The Dragon, on PS1.

I was young, he was mute, and I used to amuse my sister by doing a voice over for him and all the other characters/creatures, etc, so that she wouldn't complain and try to have a turn herself.

Same for me, what a fantastic game in every single way and it still holds up today!
Also Spyro wasn't mute, he spoke in cutscenes and whenever he rescued a dragon.

 

[Macscotty]

The first game I really adored was probably Fallout 3. Never has a game series been so good to me. Loved New Vegas and can't wait to see Fallout 4 after seeing the game engine it will use from Skyrim.

 

[stefman]

prince of persia sands of time on ps2. SOOO GOOOD!!

 

[kasperbbs]

'snake', the first video game i ever played, it was the best thing ever for a 4 year old.

 

[Da Orky Man]

Age of Empires 2. I played it for about 8 hours a day for at least a couple of months, which is even longer when you're 8.

 

[Reaper69lol]

Splatterhouse on Turbographics or however that console was called. It was mostly the creepy music that did it for me.

 

[5-0]

Probably Far Cry Instincts. Great campaign and splitscreen multiplayer I shared with my friends again and again.

 

[cswurt]

I was a big Final Fantasy fan back in the day.
But none of the FF tiles struck me like Lunar 2: Eternal Blue for PSX.

 

[Atlantos]

Golly, this is taking me back a looong time...

Without a doubt, Chrono Trigger. I used to wake myself up at 0630 in order to sneak in some 30 to 40 minutes before leaving for school.

Those were the days...

 

[ThreeKneeNick]

I think Tyrian. It's a vertically scrolling shooter with nice weapon customization. Blew my mind at the time. It's free on gog.com now.

 

[TheOneBearded]

Bioshock. It is so amazing that I can only express my love for it in haiku.

Game was amazing

My love is unbeatable

Fontaine can suck dick

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

Golden Axe (the old Megadrive one). I was like the Harryhausen films I was obsessed with at the time, but as a game (I was 5 or 6 at the time).

 

[Jakub324]

For me, Timesplitters. My friends and I had uncounted hours of fun in the freeplay mode.
