I had been through four consoles and five jobs before most of the games in the notes had come out.
My top five were virtually chiselled on stone tablets by comparison :)
Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards
Super Mario 1 & 3.
688 Attack Sub
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
Halo:CE would probably be the single most important, but it just missed my teenage years.
The instructions are contradictory. I’m not sure how it’s possible to comply.
• Pac-Man (Atari 400)
• Pole Position (Arcade)
• Parsec (TI-99/4A)
• The Legend of Zelda (NES)
• Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (PC)
I can't limit it to 5.
I keep trying to, and it doesn't work, I end up leaving out something that I spent a massive amount of time on and also very strongly impacted my conception of what a game can be.
Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask
Super Smash Bros Melee
Halo: Reach
RuneScape
Guildwars 2
Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, Apex Legends, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (1 and 2) and Terraria. I'm not very old X)
Age of Empires II and Rollercoaster Tycoon, that's about it.
I was born in 1995, but didn't have a capable PC until my late teens so I was stuck with whatever ran on my win98 potato without internet connection. Great games though, still play them today
My cut-off date for "teen years" is the year you were born. 🧓
I m old.
You really aren't.
The first one on my list was a game in the arcade, then a game on the Atari 2600 :)
Damn, Atari 2600 looks so old. The oldest I have is nes kungfu. The sound effects are classic.
I can't believe I left Fallout 1/2 off my list.
What an interesting way to look at demographics!
Off the top of my head:
Oh wait, Elite (BBC, Amstrad, and ST) — probably more so than Xenon.
stone tablets
Right there with ya OP!
Commodore Vic 20/Commodore64: Clowns, Omega Race, a space station game, Ghosts and Goblins, Zork, there was a Transformers game (looked fan made), Lode Runner, and about a dozen more
super smash bros melee
tomodachi life
sonic adventure 2
will add last 2 if i can think of any
Listed in reverse order of importance to me. Usually one of these was in my life at any given time, obsessions taking turns.
Super Mario Bros 3 (on GBA)
Runescape
Pokemon Diamond
Skyrim
COD4
Well, I'm not as old as some people, but here goes.
• Sonic Mega Collection
• Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 ( w/ all expansions )
• Borderlands 1
• Worms Armageddon ( the xbox360 version )
• Destroy All Humans 2
All of these were SNES/genesis other than dominion which was pc.
Whatever hockey game I had on genesis gets an honorable mention. It’s the only purely sports game I’ve ever played and liked.
Cytus
Pokémon Platinum
Diablo 1
Mabinogi
Yume Nikki
Cytus is pretty much the core of my whole personality (and music taste) so it is The Most Defining game for me. Platinum is special since it was my first game instead of a family game or whatever. Diablo scared the crap out of baby me but I really liked playing it! It was something my entire family played, everyone had a character save. I always was interested in MMOs but Mabinogi is The One that works for me. I reminded me a lot of Runescape when I played it but didn't have an egregious pay wall behind half the content (when I got to playing mabi, ik they had some pay walled stuff that they've gotten rid of over the years). I play any tab target MMO and I'll just have 'damn I'd rather be playing mabinogi rn' in the back of my head most of the time. And Yume Nikki was my first real foray into horror. I'm a wimp and hate playing horror games but I loved how vague everything was that I learned everything I could about the game. Enough to guide a friend through it over a phonecall.
I could just make the list all Pokemon games, but that seems like cheating...
It's so hard picking 5 but:
Super mario bros Half life Metal gear solid Driver Grand theft auto 3
in roughly chronological order:
to this day, Titanfall 2 is by far my favorite FPS game. nothing comes even remotely close
Elite, Hanse, Pirates, Castles of Dr. Creep, Lode Runner.
Bonus points if you know any of them...
Elite was the first "proper" video game I played on a computer. Before that it was all games in the arcade, and on the Atari 2600.
Also (from a certain point of view) the first RPG I played (excluding D&D obviously -- I'm not an animal!).
Patapon 2
Wizard101
Minecraft
Skyrim
Don't remember which game specifically, but the moment when you're escaping out if the bowels of a living planet is unforgettable. Also the game is overall kinda creepy, I had hard time playing it lol.
More towards my mid-teens, found about borderlands. Played it through and through, found great people in borderlands forums, it introduced me to so many good songs that are at the top of my playlists to this day. Two very great games.
Speaks for itself. There will never be a game remotely close to how good TF2 was. Even TF2 itself.
Also some honorable mentions:
And only recently I discovered World of Warcraft, specifically Wrath of the Lich King. Don't really have anyone to play with, but sometimes it's fun tanking for the entire group of randoms. I really enjoy tanking, when I know where to lead the group to lol.
A strategy game where you play as a mech that goes nuclear when destroyed, name is long forgotten sadly
Total Annihilation.
Supreme Commander as mentioned by others was the spiritual successor but I recall it didn't fill the shoes of TA.
I haven't played this yet, but I've heard Beyond All Reason is a very good Total Annihilation-like: https://www.beyondallreason.info/
Omg yes, it's actually both, I played both of them. Thank you!
That's usually the case for me too, but these games in the screenshot are older than the ones I tend to see in other posts like this so this one doesn't make me feel as old.
Sly cooper
Cod 4
Burnout 3
||| Child Youth gap |||
New Vegas
Borderlands 2
Going to date myself very specifically. 🙃
And here I am trying to figure out what Child Youth Gap is lol I played through burnout 3 a year ago, it is soooo good still ❤️
The gap between child and teen. Distinct time frames.
It so holds up. Blame that game for the pop punk flavor I love in music lol
F19 Commander Keen Wolfenstein Gaïa
As a young adult Morrowind Command and conquer -red alert Fallout3
I can only think of 4 big ones.
HellMOO, based on LambdaMOO, a text based game/roleplay/sandbox engine.
Blockland, a Lego kind of game about building with much more on top (like how Minecraft is a building game with more to it)
Zelda Majora's Mask / Twilight Princess.
GTA San Andreas (Multi Theft Auto / SA multiplayer mods)
Maybe something like Creatures. I still think of those games.
