Pokemon Yellow. Never beat it, since I tried to play through the whole thing with Pikachu. The I got Pokemon Gold and built a team. And everything got surprisingly easy.

[Stanior 11]

My first console ever was a gamecube, and it came with a disc that had the first 2 zelda games ever made, along with ocarina of time and major's mask.

 

Ever since then, I'be been a big zelda fan.

 

Nothing brings back memories like super mario sunshine though!

[CaptainDoubloon 856]

Super Mario Brothers 3 for the original NES was a big influence for me. I was 6 years old when that game came out and was a big mario fan. Also at the time I watched the cartoons and my favorite animal was the raccoon, so when this new game was released and I saw my idol with raccoon powers I remember going nuts! I also remember wanting my own Tanooki Suit to wear so bad. lol!

Keep in mind I am 28, so Spyro might be a little late to be listed here, BUT it was the trilogy that confirmed my status as a gamer, so...it gets listed.

[Justin_Case001 4,855]

I grew up on SNES.  I played original Mario and Zelda on NES, but it was FFIV, VI, and Link to the Past that really turned me into a gamer.  The first time I played IV, I was a little young to fully appreciate it, and I needed a lot of help from my older brother.  By the time I got to VI and LTTP, I surpassed my brother and became the real gamer of the family.  As a kid, those two games were just so epic and amazing, (well, they still are) that I just knew the world of games is one I would love for my whole life.

 

I loved original Killer Instict, and I would practice for hours on end against my friend until my thumb was practically rubbed down to the bone.  He was a master.  He was also the best Starcraft player of our group.  That's another game that really defined my childhood.  Well, that was jr. high era.  I was also addicted to Roller Coaster Tycoon for a long time.  But it always came back to Zelda and FF.  I tend to remember my life through Final Fantasy.  It's like, if I'm trying to remember a particular school year or something, I'll go, "Oh yeah, that was the fall of FFVIII, or that was the summer of FF Tactics."

[Buttonmash1973 1,024]

Oh Mummy Amstrad CPC 1984.

[Lisa 5,551]

I grew up on the PS2.

 

Unfortunately I can't remember any games I played on it though.. 

[Celtore 2,769]

The game I played the most growing up was Pokemon. It was the cool thing at the time and the game was largely a mystery. The net was relatively new, roumers about the game flew around and there wasnt any way at the time to feasibility test them besides trying them all.

 

For instance, "to get the mist stone, use the item finder on every square of the seaform islands. On the last square, you get the mist stone. Use it on Dragonite to evolve it into yoshi"

 

This was perfectly feasible back then. Now, we have an established series and ROM hackers to say "no, yoshi isn't in the game, nor is that item." I suppose much of it also stems from the existance of Missingno, the appearance of Ho-oh and venustoice from the anime, the mysterious glitch city and the secret inclusion of mew in the game. If those exist, what else is hidden in the game?

 

People with game sharks could get codes for these hidden creatures known as "pokegods", which were nothing more than glitches. To our silly little minds though, these were mega pokemon before gen 6.
