Favorite childhood game

[Mizel]

What was everyones favorite game to play as a kid?

I ask because recently I remembered the game Commander Keen.... I loved that game as a kid! Anyone else ever play it? Played it all the time... that along with old school Atari games haha :) Just DLed C. Keen but Im afraid to play it because I dont want to ruin the fond memories of it I had as a kid :P

[paecmaker]

The games that I played when just a kid was Sonic the hedgehog, streets of rage II (I think that was the name, cause for me it was just guys killing other guys) These were for SEGA megadrive 2

For PC, Incoming and roller coaster tycoon .

[Mizel]

Sonic was another great game! Another childhood fav for Sega was Aladdin :) lol

[foof]

Banjo Kazooie. Banjo Tooie. Mario-64. Sonic. Perfect Dark. Tom and Jerry. Ocarina of Time. Mario Party and Hey You Pikachu.

[egg-whites333]

i got to say street fighter has got to be the best older games wich is still going one for 3ds ps3 and xbox but there not as good

[Koudelka]

When I was about 6 or so, I had a Lion King game, Eco the Dolphin, and some hockey game on the Sega Genesis. I never got very far in any of them.

When I was like 8 or 9, it was some Power Rangers game on the Sega Genesis. I don't remember the exact title. I just remember beating it like a dozen times.

At some point in my early childhood, I do remember having a Super Nintendo and playing a Mario game on it, but I wasn't very good at it and would usually only make it to the "ghost level" then miserably die each time. After lots of frustration, I'd just give up.

When I was around 11 or 12, I had a Playstation and played Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, and Jet Moto 3.

When I was 16, I got a Playstation 2 and played my first JRPG which was Chrono Cross (even though it was released for the PS1). My second JRPG was Final Fantasy VII, but I didn't like it very much (and still don't). Then I got into Final Fantasy X, which I absolutely loved and it's still my favorite FF game.

Now I have every possible JRPG released in the North America for every console except the PSP (with the exception of a few rare ones that are difficult to find) and I'm still working on playing them all. >.<

[egg-whites333]

wow all i can say is you know your life well

[BitterKingSkyler]

Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie!!! I would like to say they're my favorite however, my most precious childhood game was ocarina of time and probably always will be....Although it is very hard to choose between Banjo Kazooie and Ocarina of Time, I probably spent more time playing The Legend of Zelda so that's why I chose it over Banjo Kazooie/Tooie.

1.Ocarina of time
2.Banjo Kazooie/Tooie
3. Super Mario 64
4. Star fox 64.
5.Yoshi Story
6. Mario Kart 64
7. Super Smash Bros.

[ROFLBRYCE]

Snowboard Kidz, hands down. Rented that game a bajillion times, same with Pokemon Puzzle League, Pokemon Stadium, Kirby 64: Crystal Shards, and Super Smash Bros.


I WANT TO PLAY THESE ALL AGAIN RIGHT NOW.

[Koudelka]

Aww man! I totally forgot about Pokemon. I was super into it when I was 12 because one of my friends liked playing it on the Gameboy Color. Then I got a Gameboy Color and the got the Blue Version since my friend had the Red Version.

[paecmaker]

I forgot about our Nintende nes (I think it was that)

Super mario
and we also had several games that I couldnt the name on, one that you run around in a castle and in the day you fight normal enemies and its pretty easy but in the night ghosts show up.

There was also another top view RPG that I played, your first enemies are bubbles and skulls, but I did always get stuck at a three headed snake or something similar.

[Psychotray]

Super Mario 64, for sure, hands down on of my favourite games of all time, probably one of the few games that I still have for N64.

[Mizel]

Ohhhh man the Sega Game Gear! Totally forgot about that.... Lion King and Echo were pro lol For SNES, def Super Mario and Yoshis Island AND Zombies Ate My Neighbors.... N64- Mario of course, Banjo Kazooie and Pokemon Snap and Yoshis Story... PS2, only game I had for it originally was Smuggler's Run just because it came with it, but for some reason as a kid I loved that game lol.... But yea, I agree- this is making me nostaglic haha wish I still had some of these :P

[XXNexusXX141]

I Used to Play Mortal Kombat when i was 12, Oh, Good Times.

haha, I think everybody has a child hood memory of Spyro or Crash, they were truly remarkable, I really enjoyed both of them, and still do!

[Synge]

A Zelda game, though I have no idea what one :P

Either Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. How can you not remember?! :O Both are fantastic and both are two of not only my childhood favorites, but all time favs. I've replayed OoT more than any other game and I love it every time. <3

It was a long time ago lol :P And since then I have had no interest in Zelda, so never though to go back to it.

And Majoras Mask, hopefully Operation Moonfall works :D

[Dess]

Anything Final Fantasy related, SSX, Sonic, Zelda,Doom... and.... wait for it.... OREGON TRAIL! OH YES!

[Synge]

OREGON TRAIL! OH YES!

I'd completely forgotten about that game! My first real school fight broke out over it.. My 4th grade teacher had it on the classroom computer, was my turn to play (stay in during recess). We were allowed to choose one person to join us and I chose my best bud. I don't remember what the hell happened but we ended up at each others' throats, I threw him over a desk and the back of his ear ended up getting cut open.. It was probably all the built up nerdrage cause that game was damn hard!

[Mizel]

Hahaha, same! Man, that Oregon Trail was some intense shiz :P

[Blackleo]

When I has the SNES I remember playing Zombies Ate My Neighbors ! That was what I was really hooked on, and then of course Pokemon, Ocarina of Time.

[Mizel]

Thats one of my all time favs! I still get that out every once and awhile ^_^

[foof]

Used to play Zombies Ate My Neighbors with my cousin. Lol.

Hey you Pikachu was one of my favorites.

But Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie were...amazing for me

[Psychotray]

Both very amazing games, and original :D
This brings me back a few years, hahaa

[johnnydude6]

uhh super mario rpg or pokemon

[ShankCrisis]

It has to be Crash Bandicoot 1 and Crash Team Racing.

I know its not the most beloved game amongst other generations. But for me and my cousins its the greatest thing to come out of the original Playstation console :)

[Triton]

because of age I guess the nearest I can call games as a kid would be Pacman and Space Invaders.

[Zelda]

Dude! You're making me want to play all these again...

I remember one of the only games I had played back when I was 7 was Mario Kart 64 and some Mario-type game for a handheld system that a friend of my mom's son had borrowed from one of his friends! (say that 3 times fast... or slow or whatever)

But the very first video game I ever played was a turn based strategy game for the Tandy 2000. The Tandy, at the time, was over 10 years old though. haha We were just behind the times a good bit!

And then Indiana Jones & The Infernal Machine and Hydro Thunder for 64. Remember those? :D

Yep, I remember some of those games, games really took a surge forward when the N64 and Sega hit the scene.

[Zelda]

^^ Sure did! And it's just kept surging ever since. I'm really proud to be a part of this generation, y'know? It's really amazing how far we've come in just the last say, 20 years? :D

[Sotanji]

Ape Escape, ape escape..oh and Ape escape. i couldn't put that game down. for some reason as a little dude just chillen on the floor looking at my television screen capturing monkey all day for days on end, was endlessly satisfying i probably beat that game 15 times at the age of 7. For some reason capturing apes sent out from a demented ape known only as specter, BLEW MY MIND. man i want go go grab my time net right now!

also Spyro the dragon , aww man now you've got me feeling all nostalgic,*tears up* imma go play them right now!

[Trunks]

I use to play Age of Empires for hours on my computer, when I got the expansion I would do custom map games all the time. I actually still play that game from time to time. Using tunngle I can play online against friends still. Definitely a one of a kind game.

[Mizel]

Has anyone ever played that old PC game, Wolf? I haven't thought about it years until last night.

[Mizel]

Lol Man, I wish I could say Pokemon Red was old school for me... god Im old xD

[BrianUchiha]

Pokemon Red was only 13 years ago for me at age 4 xD lol

[hidekipooj]

ocarina of time - n64

[Fruity_loops]

I remember this Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse game for the Mega Drive it was either one or two player and they'd fallen into some magic box and had to go through all these worlds to get out. Can't remember the name of it though :( I do remember Colums, Ecco the Dolphin, Aladdin, and The Lion King and Micro Machines. I miss my Mega Drive so much!

I remeber a donald duck game, and a mickey mouse game on the mega drive.

Like the first boss you met in the mickey mouse game was a stump from a tree.

But I never finished any of them, in the donald duck game I got stuck on something like a viking ship.

[Fruity_loops]

It was the same game whoever you played if I remember right, they had these magic cloth things they waved to kill bad guys.

[Mr. Magoo]

Who remembers Ice Climber, Contra and Wacky Wheels? Loved these games!

[WindPlayer]

To be honest, the more the time has gone past the less I like any game :/.
I really loved Zelda though.

[Bérénike]

My favorites must be Super Mario 64 (Nintendo64), Chuck Rock 2 (Amiga), BC KID (Amiga) and Donald`s playground (Commodore 64). Tried playing Donald`s playground a while ago ... I did not remember it being so simple :p But it so much fun playing old games again. So many great memories

[WindPlayer]

Ahh good point Mario was a lot of fun. Damn my bad memory really annoys me. I can't think of what I enjoyed back then.

[Mizel]

Haha, story of my life :P

[Sakina]

God, nostalgy is blowing my mind since I read Jack Chan Stuntmaster someone said.
I would add to the list:
Sunset Riders
Megaman
Mogli
Spiderman ( PS1 )
This list goes on and on...

[jackbail]

Commander Keen = awesomeness ^_^

[apatheticarchetype]

Yoshi's Story or Donkey Kong 64 by far. I still love the heck out of those games.

[Mizel]

Yoshi's Story or Donkey Kong 64 by far. I still love the heck out of those games.

I always forget about Yoshi's Story!! Awesome game :D

[vepanator]

Ah ya oldies. We got NES when (used from our cousins) I was abouttt... 5-6? We played

http://91.121.199.16/1980-games/image/jeux-anciens/nintendo/g/Gremlins_2_-_The_New_Batch/logo.gif http://91.121.199.16/1980-games/image/jeux-anciens/nintendo/m/Mega_Man_4/logo.gif http://91.121.199.16/1980-games/image/jeux-anciens/nintendo/t/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles/logo.gif http://91.121.199.16/1980-games/image/jeux-anciens/nintendo/a/Adventures-in-the-magic-kingdom/logo.gif

And tons of others... Oh the NES stayed well and alive for years but ya know, during the years and all this moving from city to another it has disappeared. Shame.

Then later came PS1 and took my heart. Oh GTA 1 <3

[Mizel]

TMNT game was amazingggg

[Blaze]

When i was a child and my favorite favorite game was Snow Bros and i was going to high school when i played this game in the 2001 and this was really fabulous game.

[ezio12]

i use to love streets of rage and golden axe on the sega consols and imagine my joy when i found all the old sega games on the ps3.....recapturing my youth..there are no words

[Hyper_Reality]

My favorite childhood game was the original Mario Party. My brother and I played it all the time for years. Just thinking about it brings up some fond memories. It is by far the best game in the series I have ever played.

[lollieskippy]

Probably The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It wasn't the first game I played, I played Super Mario Sunshine before it along with some PS1 games, but since I was about 6 when Super Mario Sunshine came out it never really stuck with me too much. When LoZ: Wind Waker came out I was old enough to actually pay attention and make connections. I still remember almost all of the gameplay and I could breeze right through it if I were to play it today (sadly, my sister took it with her to college). Whenever I hear the soundtrack from the game it's like getting hit with the Nostalgic Train. It's still in my top 3 favorite Zelda games.

[Roger_Klotz]

Commander Keen was epic and probably my favorite childhood game. In close second was Streets of Rage for the Sega Genesis.

[Bertrum]

Starfox on the snes then on the N64!

[Mizel]

Commander Keen was epic and probably my favorite childhood game. In close second was Streets of Rage for the Sega Genesis.

OMG, Commander Keen. You will always hold a special place in my heart... actually re-downloaded that recently <3

That and Monster Bash I played *all the timeeeee*

[TheMangler187]

I played Commander Keen 4 all the time at my sister's place when I was like 3. I miss being little and feeling like I just won the lottery after finding a secret cave or something, even if there's nothing in it. I was watching some Keen on Youtube not too long ago. Biggest nostalgia trip ever :P

Oh man, and remember that the game was ON DISK. Now *that* brings me back :P

[OwlBytes]

When I was little my brother got a PS2, and his first game was Marvel vs. Capcom. To this day it's always been a favorite of mine. I also have a special place for Ceasar II, which we used to play in Latin class.

[Trunks]

Crash Bash for the PS1. That or maybe Crash Team Racing, use to play them both all the time, use to be obsessed with crash.

[norid]

Galiga with my brother...
Banjo and Kazooy
Good times =/

[Mizel]

Galiga with my brother...
Banjo and Kazooy
Good times =/

Loooove B+K... should get that out and play it for old times sake ^_^

[norid]

Yea...
I also loved playing the first POkemon Colossuem on the N64. Despite it being my cousins I soooo owned everytime :p

[Mizel]

I never played that one!

But I did love me some Pokemon Snap xD

[norid]

Oh pokemon snap! I played that one too haha

[BobTD]

Paintball. After about 14 i grew out of it, I was bored of always winning.

Oh video game? Zelda OoT and Goldeneye man. More hours into those games than proper parenting allows for sure.

[Mizel]

Oh, Goldeneye. * looks off into space with a nostalgic smile and sigh*

[TheMangler187]

Got Banjo Tooie off XBLA recently. Brings back plenty of memories. Other games I played as a kid was ALttP, OoT, MM, Pokemon Coliseum, Pokemon Snap, Super Mario 64, Paper Mario, Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Allstars, Donkey Kong 64, Yoshi's Story and Mario Party among others. Yeah, I used to play quite a few games. Still do, ha.

[Feight]

Killer Instinct for the Snes I was a teen then tho. As a child Mike tyson punch out, Contra and Lifeforce

[Mizel]

Awwww yea Killer Instict.

That reminds me.... I miss Primal Rage >.>

[Feight]

I hated Primal Rage ;oP also hated "Clay Fighters" blah good fighting game for 64 was "War Gods" thought it would of blew but it was pretty good

[Mizel]

I like(d) most fighter games :P

[Dess]

<_< I'm going to show my age...

Oregon Trail.

>_>

Teens... Zelda, Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, SSX, Final Fantasy

[norid]

I had the Amazon Trail game!

[Feight]

Oregon Trail for the old apple computer at school lol that some old stuff... Used to play it in school if i was good ;P

---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 AM ----------

Oh can't forget Number Munchers on the old apple computer

[Paul Turner]

Adventure Island on NES. Although most of my friends were hardcore Super Mario fans (and so was I), I always preferred Adventure Island over every other game in my childhood.

[archatas]

My favorite ones were Sonic the hedgehog, Tiny Toon, and Pitfall on Sega Mega Drive 2. :)

[kyojinalex]

The original Final Fantasy will always hold a special place in my nerd heart. It is what reallyu got me into gaming and is still one of my favorite all time games. I still play it through once every couple of years.

[Acrid]

For me it was sonic without being able to save modern horror games are not as tense as not being able to save with that fast bugger! Final fantasy 7 for the whole story and having to make up the voices in your head was a big part of it as well.

[Sakina]

For me is Mario Bro

[EpsilonX]

I was really into Pokemon Red and Pokemon Gold/Silver. Legend of Dragoon was also my first true JRPG, and so ever since then i've absolutely loved them. Any game with turn-based JRPG combat systems I absolutely loved. My mom never let me play Final Fantasy games because she thought the fact that they had anime chicks on the cover and they said "Fantasy" meant they were some sort of porn game or something.

[xLykos]

Pokemon was all I played when I was little, genuine Pokemon master over here

[Mizel]

Pokemon Snap. That is where it was at!

[nephilim]

Sorry for revival of old thread,

Pokemon when on gameboy
Red alert when on PC

Yellow version was the best one, simply because you got all of the pokemon available (though Mew2 was impossible to get without the masterball)

[Artriece]

I never got to play any games as a little kid, though I did play Animal Crossing with my cousins long ago. Visits with them were rare back then though.

[jenettjohnson]

My favorite childhood game is Mario

[MotoGurl]

Sonic the Hedgehog was one of my faves..until my roommate burned my Sega up with a candle left burning after she went to bed. Such a sad, sad day.

[forminxaos]

i think i'd have to say that for me it was phantasy star. i remember how very mind blowing the first
person dungeons were at that time. if someone had told me at that young age what the future of games
would be i'm pretty sure i'd have thought them mad.

[MotoGurl]

"bajillion" is one of my all time favorite words. :)


Snowboard Kidz, hands down. Rented that game a bajillion times, same with Pokemon Puzzle League, Pokemon Stadium, Kirby 64: Crystal Shards, and Super Smash Bros.


I WANT TO PLAY THESE ALL AGAIN RIGHT NOW.

[CC4]

Spyro Ripto's Rage was my favorite growing up.

[scott02]

Mario and Wonder Zoo is my favorite childhood games.

[Haaskellll]

After a million hours of playing Pokemon games I would chill out on games like PaRappa the Rapper, Dave Mirra BMX and stuff like that. Sometimes even Perfect Dark on my dusty N64

[xLykos]

Uhh I played a lot of Pokemon, Sim Theme Park and Banjo Kazooie when I was little lol

[Mizel]

Uhh I played a lot of Pokemon, Sim Theme Park and Banjo Kazooie when I was little lol

I miss Banjo so much!! I should really get that game again just for the nostalgia :P

[xLykos]

I still have it lol my mom gave away our Sega but I made damn sure nothing ever happened to our N64

[r3dt@rget]

Gran Turismo is my favorite game of all time. The ps1 was really my first console, and Gran Turismo my first game. It created my passion for cars and gaming. It must be a good game since it is still going strong.

[Kenoi]

well, middle school counts as a small bit of the childhood right?
anyway, my first game system was the ps1, but didn't really get that many good games, it was mostly sport games -- basketball.
then I got the dreamcast.
the first game that was marked as a favorite was 'Jet Grind Radio'. Graffiti & skating. what an idea. I was hooked on this game that I had to get it again for the ps vita. haha

[abfahren]

In order of consoles and points through my life:
commodore 64: Wirard of War
sega: Wonderboy III
Mega-drive: Sonic

[XxTOOLxX]

I remember my childhood favorite game, being spyro 3, and the original crash bandicoot for the ps1 =).

[Gamer Research]

Zelda OoT, beat the crap outta it

[JukeboxRoxy]

Super Mario World or Mario kart. Pure classics.

[John]

I loved Super Mario Sunshine as a child. I still do.

[EpsilonX]

Pokemon was the dominant game of my childhood. I also really liked Metal Gear Solid and Legend of Dragoon.

[Shalidor]

Mickey World of Illusion on Sega MD :)

[blaze4556]

Ace combat ( the one with razgriz) for a war fighter jet game the story was incredible, I almost cried man tears

[katyte522]

top gear super nintendo I used to play that so long that my eyes started watering :)

[premieritzone]

No doubt about mario

[Keith Forsey]

Super Mario, but I play it sometimes

[Bennyf]

When I was 10 I was in love with Need for speed: most wanted <3 Good old years.
