The one and only.
Not only was it one of the most fun games I've ever played, but it also served as a peacekeeper in our household. No matter how bad the fighting between me and my little brother got, taking this game for a spin together always got us to make up.

I am sure you have heard, then, that they are remaking X-Com as XCOM? Should be interesting.LittleBlondeGoth said:
On Topic: Definitely Zelda. Specifically OoT. I remember the very first Zelda game I played was the original one on the gold cartridge for the NES. I got so lost and gave up. Then I played OoT and absolutely loved it, took my new-found knowledge of the way Zelda games are structured, and went back and played the original Zelda.
And I thought I was the only one that had ever heard of it! Everything about it was better than Pokemon, the music and sprites were unbelievable to my 5 year old eyes haha!The Big Boss said:
I have indeed. Not sure what to make of the idea, if I'm honest. To me, X-Com will always be the RTS style game that it was in the nineties, but then I'm old and actually enjoyed that kind of gameplay. The new one... Well, I'll probably give it a whirl and just try and forget about the X-Com portion of the title.darkdoom227 said:
It will definitely be interesting, to transition from the old Real-time Strategy version to a First-person shooter version. That is the part that scares me the most...LittleBlondeGoth said:I have indeed. Not sure what to make of the idea, if I'm honest.

Though there are many games I would say were part of my child hood, none had me as hooked as Spyro The Dragon did.
That was the only game I ever faked sick to stay at home and play and that didn?t do me any good seeing as how it took me till 09 to finally perfectly beat that game.
And even now that I have found everything I am still coming back to it.
I love everything about this game from its hilarious characters/Enemies. To beautiful visuals and some wonderfully charming worlds that you can just let go and immerse yourself in. All of which is accompanied by a great soundtrack that helps give your mind that extra nudge into the gloriously flamboyant world of Spyro.

For me it´s The Legend of Zelda : Links Awakening
My First Zelda Game and probably the one thing that always reminds me of my childhood,
soley the main theme gives me chills.

Rune, I would go to my friends house we would fire up two old macs and play that game for hours.
Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havok. Bought it for a tenner when I was just starting gaming when I was 7 or 8? Even though it is old and worn I'd class it as one of my favourite games of all time, though that's probably because I was 7 and I am now wearing my rose-tinted glasses :/.
You win for being the only other human being alive who has played Jet Force Gemini.hazabaza1 said:
With that in mind, my games were Jet Force Gemini, Star Fox 64 (the only game I ever completionist-ed and was truly amazing at, like I spent all my stat points leveling that one up), Pokemon, Chrono Trigger.
Oh right, and anything Homeworld. (Including Cataclysm, which is my favorite.)
For my childhood, I'd have to say Sonic The Hedgehog 3. That and Ballz 3D. Yes, it was a cheesy fighting game that looked like Mortal Kombat had a romp with Vectorman, but I don't care. It was fun for me. Speaking of Vectorman, I'll add him to my list. That game kicked ass.
Beast Wars for the PC. It was an awful game in retrospect, but the game's music was very good. Still wishing I could download the music if I could find it. Never beat it due to my lack of skill at the time, so it has always haunted me ever since.
After that, PokeMon Red. They told me my Beedrill was inferior to their Alakazam; Pin Missile showed them otherwise.
Honorable mentions to the first Metal Slug and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

Same game and same deal with my brother and I. We would fight like cats and dogs, hours later he would pick up the cartridge and nodded towards the TV and we were gaming like nothing happened.Sonicron said:
OT: I played a lot of Mega Man 2 (for the Gameboy) and Pokemon Blue as a kid. That handheld went through a ton of batteries and I'm surprised it didn't crap out on my since I used it all the time.
