gaming What video game made your childhood?

[A Black Circle 1,585]

Brash Candicoot + Lego Star Wars = CHILDHOOD FULFILLED

[inactive_user 367]

My childhood was carefully crafted primarily by Super Mario Sunshine, Halo 2, Soulcalibur's 2 and 3, a whole bunch of other PS2 games, and all sorts of Nintendo games...... Those were just a few of the really big ones though.

I'm sure there are tons of others I'm forgetting to mention as far as "big ones" though. >3<

Pokemon Gold/Silver. I had eye surgery when I was a kid to fix my cornea and spent a lot of time stuck in bed with my Gameboy. Also the Pokemon TCG for Gameboy. Very rarely played the actual card game, clocked too many hours on the video game version.

 

And how can I forget Golden Sun? The mere thought of tridents and multi-headed dragons brings a mix of nostalgia and sheer anger.

[Kankuro 233]

My Dad introduced me to Halo as a child and I was hooked at first sight.

[Raritas 6,820]

Difficult to decide to be honest. I'll probably have to say Ratchet and Clank 2 (My all time favourite game   ). That game made me hooked on the entire Ratchet and Clank series, and took up a large part of my childhood

[ScarfaceOne 263]

The Video Games that made my Childhood were Sega Racing Games such as Daytona USA, Outrun and Sega Rally. Along with Tomb Raider, Ridge racer, Reader Rabbit Let's start Learning, Play with the Teletubbies, GTA, Harry Potter on the PS1, Virtual On, Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter, Tekken, X-Men Children of the Atom and 3D Movie Maker. They were great!!!

To me it's always the guilty pleasures of not so good games that defines your childhood gaming, 1080 Snowboard would be that guilty pleasure, It's easier to remember going to blockbuster to rent a specific game over and over than to buy a game and enjoy it.

I have Played so many different versions of this game on so many different consoles, it was not even funny. I spended hours upon hours thinking about different strategies with different characters and using it to beat my big brother.

 

BTW, i remember a time when Capcom made quality products.

I used to play many many PS1 racing games with my uncle when I was young, one two games I'd like to mention in my "older" childhood years is Crash Team Racing and Ratchet and Clank. Good games, oh and don't forget all the Pokemon games and my face slowly turning into a scared face when realizing the Gameboy Color is nearly out of battery... Good times...

I only remember a few games from my childhood so I guess they would be influential:

 

*Unreal tournament 2004 (still play it)

*Age of Empires II

*Diablo II

*Need for speed 2

*Warcraft 3

*Deus Ex

 

I never got past the first few levels in deus ex so i did what anybody would do and revisited the game with lots of graphical mods and actually beat it a few years ago.

[Unr3alGamer 230]

Banjo-Kazooie & Tooie 

Star-Wars Battlefront (1 & 2)

Sonic Adventure

Battle for Bikini Bottom

 

Just to name a few off the top of my head.

I guess it would depend on what you call childhood, but I'll be loose:

 

NES: Captain Skyhawk, Donkey Kong

 

Genesis: Sonic series, Castle/World of Illusion

 

PS1: Spyro the Dragon

[Eternal Night 61]

It's like a 7 way tie between:

 

Majora's Mask

 

Ocarina of Time

 

Golden Eye

 

Perfect Dark

 

Doom

 

Morrowind

 

Super Mario 64

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,298]

Super Mario Bros. was the first video game I ever played and doubtless the most fundamental reason I harbor any love for video games at all.

[ShadOBabe 18,985]

Pokémon!!

I was a player of the original three games, but Crystal was my favorite.

It was the first one where you could play a girl. XD

[Arctofire 225]

I feel very nostalgic towards a game called Runescape, it was a simple MMORPG which looking back on it was really quite boring, but I still liked it nevertheless. I also enjoyed Pokemon Ruby which was my first Pokemon game, and I also remember fondly when I first played Minecraft.

[Blazebolt 122]

Legend of Zelda ocarina of time among others who's name s escape me at the moment.

[The Shyest One 808]

There were games that I played growing up such as Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda on the NES.

 

But the games I think that made up my childhood were Crash Bandicoot and Tekken. Yaas
