For me it would have been Pokemon blue version. Sure I played video games before but this game is what drove me to be almost addicted to video games. I would play this 8 hours a day nonstop.

Should really be in off-topic but I have many, for me it's almost every game I play lol

I would also say pokemon, but the yellow version for me.

 

Decided to edit, and add a few in...

All of the other pokemon games

Dragon Warrior 3 for GBC... One of teh best games ever, i'll still sometimes whip out the GBC and play it, it's that good :thumbup: Love it.

All the Sonic games on the genesis

Another game on the genesis I forgot the name of... some space ship one.

 

Overall, I think Dragon Warrior 3 is the best game made.

 

More recently, Borderlands and Oblivion are pretty fun :rolleyes:

1. Final Fantasy 7 was probably the biggest moment for me, it's the greatest game in the world.

 

2. However Alex the Kid ( original Sega ) was what got me hooked on gaming in the first place.

 

3. Starcraft opened up the competetive gaming world for me. DotA has since taken its place :thumbsup:

Also Pokemon Blue. Ever since getting it I tried to get 100% on most games that I got. 'Scape is the exception.

The Zelda series for sure. Ocarina of time is, in my opinion, the best designed game ever made. Nothing beats its storyline, nor its gameplay, or even its size. It's freakin' massive for a game that's designed for a cartridge lol. And yeah, this should be in Off-Topic.

The original Diablo! My first multiplayer online experience...despite the rampant cheating you could still find legit co-opers and you would spend the night clearing hell with them :D

 

(Psst! Over here!)

Wow so many epic games come to mind....i'd have to say probably pokemon red...first video game i ever played =D either that or Kingdom hearts

Final Fantasy 10. It is the only game that I would rather plan than RS.

I first got into video games when I played pokemon yellow version at my neighbors house. For my next birthday (luckily for me, was only a few weeks after that) I got a really old gameboy and pokemon yellow version. My life was complete.

Chips challenge :oops: its this old puzzle game that was strangly addicting.

Heroes of Might and Magic II and III. Also, this chinese RPG game translated to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"

I have a few games.

 

1. Pokemon Crystal was my first Pokemon game. I remember releasing my Cyndaquil out of curiosity, so I caught a hoothoot, trained it to level 100 Noctowl and owned the etire game. Yeah, it is now my favourite pokemon out of them all (Noctowl is just ownage!).

 

2. Dead Space. My favourite game of all time. You might have heard this before, but I can't get enough of it. Scariest game ever made tbh. It made Alma crawl back into her hole/well/programming code :D

 

3. Spyro/Crash Series. Were a lot of fun for me as a wee lil' lad (around 3-5). Lotsa guaranteed fun, and Spyro the Dragon has my favourite game music of all-time.

 

4. Runescape. Without it, I wouldn't be here! My favourite MMO of them all. I've been thrown a lot of adversaries (WoW, Guild Wars + Expansions, EVE Online...) and I come back for more everytime. I delibrately downgraded myself to RSC because it is even better than RS2 for me, so that's saying something.

 

There you go, my list. I can't pick just one game, thats like saying pick your favourite: ya mum or ya dad (cmon, you can't answer that). But yeah, I'll just leave now...

That's a tough one.

 

I can say way more than one has influenced me, for certain.

Perhaps Age Of Empires did it best. Obsessed falls short of how one could describe I liked that game.

But same goes for Super Mario (some freeware clone on the pc, remarkably true to the real games) and Mechwarrior 2. Those three games must be the three biggest influences, as they were among the first games I had played.

They were the ones to get me hooked, there's no real reasons. They just beat going outside to play. Video games are crippling to your fitness for the rest of your life when you're three.

Crash Bandicoot :D and the first spyro game were the most influential on me :)

 

Later on though it would have to be the Ratchet And Clank and the Jak and Daxter serieses

Super Mario 3 :mrgreen: I'll never forget world 8. -I kinda miss those 100 in 1 game cartridges-

Super mario got me into gaming.

 

Homm 3 got me into online gaming a few years back.

 

Between the two Homm 3 has done the most for my gaming habits.

Tetris. :mellow:

Also, this chinese RPG game translated to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"

Is that the one with the one guy with three girls? If it is then that is mine as well, the plot is just so touching....one of the few games that I have cried on. Also I think it as if you are Chinese and you have never played it, then you are not a gamer. It is that good.

The original Toe Jam & Earl, no doubt about it.

Most definetly FFX or FF Crisis Core.

COD4 made me love shooters.

Pokemon Gold, my second favourite RPG and what got me into gaming

 

Super Metroid, my best game of all time, the only one that has reached perfection so far

 

Super Mario Galaxy, increadibly level design, controls, looks, music, gameplay, extras.

 

Portal, increadibly imaginative, one of teh best crafted games i've ever played

 

Half Life 2, one the few shooter i enjoyed, also, more complex then point and shoot to advance

 

System Shock 2, read above

 

TLoZ: Ocarina, what else has to be said about this game?

 

FF6/Chrono Trigger: Best RPG's ever.

 

Thats my list :smile:

Sonic (the very first one) and Super Mario Bros

I literally played sonic until I had blisters as big as my thumbs.

SMB well got me into SMB3 and well I love that game to this day.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Abe's Odyessy & Final Fantasy X.
