Creatures 2 and Turrican 2 on the C64. Syndicate and Frontier Elite 2 on Amiga. I do wish they would start releasing these era games as xbox arcade downloads.
Your childhood game!

Well i'm going to go with the first game i ever played which was alec the kidd (or is it alex i can never remember) so many hours drained on that game just because i could not get past one level!
There is a newer game on steam that is kind of like a cross between the strike series and jackal (if you remember that).xXxJessicaxXx said:For anyone that knows me and my taste in games this would sound ridiculously weird, but the Strike games...Urban Strike, Jungle Strike etc.
I was so hooked on those as a little girl.
I'm not sure there is many games around that have similar game play. Isometric helicopter shooter and occasional ground sections where you would like run through a warehouse and rescue someone. Of course I could be wrong.
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.)
