Your favorite childhood game

@Oufour: I did that recently with Donkey Kong Land. Feels good man!

TIE Fighter.

Ty The Tasmanian Tiger 2.

: I bought that game for 5 bucks at a Hollywood Video, when those were still around. Awesome little game, and I even managed to 100% it! And that game's almost as mean as Donkey Kong 64 when it comes to 100%.

Speaking of which, I loved that game, too. Rareware in general was just a big player in my childhood. I was a big DK fan, and had all three of the Game Boy games...

-fistbumps Oufour-

I remember doing the same thing with the first Spyro game. Hell I don't know if it's just nostalgia or if those games are just that awesome but I can go back and play any of the three Spyro games and still have a blast.

Pokemon Blue, hands down. It was the first game I got after managing to convince my parents that video games would not take over my life if I had them. I was a pretty crappy player, though: used my overleveled Starter for everything until I could get Legendaries, then used Legendaries and my overleveled Starter for everything. I still have the save file, incidentally, as I managed to complete the Pokedex and I don't want to delete that.

Super Mario 64. Although my mom helped me a lot with some stars as she was pretty much forced to learn to play because I was afraid of some enemies (not that she complained), I'll never forget how satisfying was to defeat Bowser for the last time. I freaking cried while watching the credits (and mom loves teasing me about it, damn it).

Of course, the game got even more delicious after I decided to forget my past fears and get all stars myself, but then I wasn't a child anymore.

Super Mario 64 and Pokemon. Ocarina of Time, too, but the former two I have a lot of memories playing with my friends.

Also, Mario Party, before they became increasingly genericized mission pack sequels. The first two were good times.

Probably Commander Keen:Marooned On Mars. That's the one I played most often. I was also very fond of Super Mario, but I didn't own neither a console nor the game itself. I had to beg the neighbor boys to play it with them, whenever my mom and I went to visit.

Early childhood, Super Mario World. Tennish years old, I'd say Paper Mario, the first game I over beat.

Wario Land 4, Pokémon Sapphire, Zelda Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine. GET AT ME BRO.

I'll be honest. Although it was a black sheep, i was introduced to the glory that was Mario with the US version of 2

Pokemon Crystal, no question. All those memories...

Hmm...Sonic Battle is THE game plot-wise that defined my childhood years. (Damn tramatized me. *sniff*) Pokemon Emerald is still the game I will play over and over again. (Please remake Ruby/Shappire for the 3DS Nintendo. Please!)

Also my very young years were spent watching my cousin play Sonic 3 And Knuckles and when he lent his Saturn system, I played Sonic R over and over and over, since at that time, I was afraid of getting a game over. To this day, I'm still good at racing games!

SUPER. MARIO. MOTHERFUCKING. WORLD.

I loved tat damn game. I think I may have memorized the first four worlds by now. And part of the Star Road. I fucking loved that game, it was downright PERFECT.

Second favourite would be Tetris Attack. I still kick ass at that game.

Then would come the old Command And Conquer and Dune games, mostly Tiberian Sun and Dune 2000. Also X-COM and TFTD

The Legend Of Zelda Links Awakening and Yoshis Island both really introduced me into gaming as a whole, and those two games are my most favourite games ever.
