Shiny Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I think childhood games all ring a bell, far far away in our minds. They introduced me to gaming as a whole, something I am very grateful. When I was a child I remember every single game I played being great, however some games stuck in my mind more than others. Being born mid-nineties, I didn't have access to things like half-life, I was only 5 when the millennium rolled around, so I didn't fully experience things like N64s or Sony Playstations. I bet some of you probably remember cramming down on a saturday morning, pulling out your SNES and playing some Mario. Maybe your like me and you remember waking early enough to get your PS2 going, playing Jak and Daxter or Ratchet and Clank. Whatever you did, I'm sure you all had your favourite childhood game. For me, Jak and Daxter and Tekken Tag Tournament all claim for the top, but what takes it is Zoombins: A Logical Journey. So what is your childhood game, tif?

Dax Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Jak and Daxter. My Runescape name, my TIF name and several other names have been named after the game. Best game of all time, and with the fourth (the REAL games) coming out at the end of this year, it's a moment of excitement and disappointment. Why, Naughty Dog? Why did you give up Crash and now J&D? D: I can also relate to Tekken Tag, it Jak and Daxter and a kid's racing game (not sure of the name) were th first three games we had. I can still remember that great Sunday afternoon I came home from my Dad's and saw my step-dad play Tekken Tag with a friend of his. Best J&D memory: Not being able to cross the bridge to get to the Blue Eco vent on Geyser Island.

Youmu Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Sonic Heroes. When I was small, I didn't even have a video game console. >_> I played the PS2 version at my friend's house, and eventually I fell in love with that game. It was one of the only games he had, lol. It was also my first console game.

Haha Putt Putt Saves the Zoo. I forgot about that game. My childhood games would be the Sonics, Shining Force, Mortal Kombat, Altered Beast, Quake, Rampage, and mainly Zelda OoT. I've been a gamer almost my entire life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkn0wnwarrior Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I was born into the NES era. So my childhood favourite was Super Mario Bros. 3. It gave me countless hours of entertainment, until my friend gave me a copy of Kirby and Battletoads. Then those two were my main games. I had about 10 games at that time, but only played those 3.

Zierro Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Never played any RPGs because they were too complicated. I know what you mean. I was always intrigued by Final Fantasy 9 when I saw my uncle playing it, but I knew it was way over my head with the abilities and equipment and all. The only RPG I played when I was young was Shining Force, but that game is very straightforward. Oh and Pokemon if you would even count that. I'm surprised that hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Runar Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'm still trying to beat this... It took me nearly 10 years to beat even the first one, but there are still three more games left. Actually I like these good old games just because of their difficulty, I can beat most new games in 5-10 hours. No one makes hard games anymore. It's all about the graphics now. :mad: The Runar's (OSRS) DIY blog - most viewed Blogscape blog ever! Contract? /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzle229 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I remember Pajama Sam, Putt Putt, Spy Fox, and Freddi Fish. Yay for computer games when I was really really young. These <3: I also remember playing 102 Dalmations. It's a PS1 game that I got with my PS2 for Christmas 2001. I was too young at the time to appreciate games, but it was really good. I still play it sometimes now, for a kids game it was amazing. It had so many collectibles, unlockables, creative level design. I could go on and on, if you can go online and get yourself a copy (it should be very, VERY cheap, afterall it's a PS1 kids game), definitely pick it up and see for yourself. Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harakiri Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Oh man, my favorite series of games were the Sonic games, so I remember having every one of the originals. I was born in '94 and my grandma still had her NES from the 80's and before I discovered the fact that there were PSX's and N64's I sat around playing Super Mario Bros...Here's the list of NES games I remember spending hours on:-Super Mario Bros-Tiger Heli-Top Gun-There was one about a cat collecting yarn, I remember he always said "Bogus". Then I found out my Dad was hiding the PSX, which I don't think I ever played. Then he bought an N64 specifically to play Goldeneye 007. I remember playing mutliplayer against him and kicking his [wagon] all the time with the cop character. Then we got the Xbox. I remember the first game we got was Halo. Didn't like it then, don't like it now. And we got SSX Tricky. That was a pretty sweet game. I wish I could find another copy of that somewhere because that was a great game. Somewhere around nine years old I got the GBA, which would become my best friend. I remember I spent hours playing a Scorpion King game that I never beat. There was some Zelda game, and then a Yu-Gi-Oh game that I spent hours and hours and hours playing. The GBA fell though and half the screen turned black :sad: Rest In Peace my Gameboy Advanced.

stevepole Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I remember I used to love playing Paperboy on the NES and Super Mario 3 was always my favorite when I was really young. I never really got into video games until I got a Playstation and played Crash Bandicoot which just the other day I bought on the PSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
