[Nicro327]

WoW

Halo 2

CoD 2

Pokemon

Why? Cause they ruined my social life. Especially WoW

[jimbob007]

Manic Miner, Bak 2 Skool & Booty on the ZX Spextrum.

[Jimthegiant]

Really hard to pick just 3.

FFVII, first RPG I which kept my attention.

Time Crisis 2: Arcade game I've played the most, high scores across England.

Ace attorney: Probably the best story line of any game.

[ScottGomez]

Secret of Mana
Secret of Evermore

Both on the SNES

[sword_]

Final Fantasy everything, especially 6/7
Prob Metal Gear Solid is up there too.

[ANDYtheHUMAN]

FF one. Original nes
First game ever played. Still love rpg

Diablo 2
So much fun I think I lost a year of my life

Warcraft 2.
Was ranked #2 in the world by TDA
Which got me paid.

Video games are my favorite contraceptive. Though chicks started diggin games now. Hard on a man. Hard

[JBforKing]

Sonic the hedgehog - Sage Mega drive. The first game I ever played. Used to sit and play it all day when my elder brother was at school - I was about 2 years old.

Super Mario Bros - SNES.
My and my brother used to sit up all night together playing this co-operatively. Will remember those great nights trying not to wake up the parents for the rest of my life.

Goldeneye - Nintendo 64.
Same as the previous one. My first taste of a FPS and I loved every second of that game - played it recently actually, couldn't believe we used to use those N64 pads!

Runescape - MMORPG.
In retrospect, I hate this game. Literally an addiction for me through my teens. Played it from early on though before all the **** updates they ended up doing - I'm taking classic period. Had 3 Green Party hats that I bought for 10k each.. If only. Tried to teach my brother how to play - but not really his scene.

Star Wars KOTOR - Xbox.
Absolutely loved this RPG. First game I played where you could choose the lineage of the gameplay - free roam between planets and upgrade you character and equipment - it was great. Me and Jake played on two seperate TV's in the same room. Loved that game.

Call of Duty Black Ops - Xbox 360.
I enjoyed this. The last game me and Jake played together before he passed away. Always thought he was better than me even though I had to teach him how to quick scope - of course he never was, but he was one lucky SOB on cod.

[nightwolf6423]

Metal Gear Solid 1, 3, 4.

[Nnear]

[Xndndn]

Sonic on the sega mega drive, my lawd just a classic game won't ever be a sonic like it.

Super Mario on the Super Nintendo was another classic everyone loved that game not to mention donkey kong.

Manhunt on the ps 2. This had the most impact on me, the violence the finish moves. My heart would b pounding when playing this game. Adrenaline rush

Brb digging out dusty ps2 srs

[upchuck1383]

Rogue Spear
Diablo II
WoW

[Woody-5]

What the hell is with all the nostalgic video game threads this weekend? This is like the third one. Fuk, I'm considering calling in to work tomorrow so I can dust off the old systems and go HAM


1- Legend of Zelda (original- 1987)
NES was still new and was already mind blowing compared to old Atari games. Zelda took it to the next level. That open world concept blew my 7yo mind. And there was no internet to find help for any puzzles- just trial and error. So many hours playing this. Dem feels...


2- Mario Kart (super nes)
This just took multiplayer action to the next level. Rage levels also hit new highs
My cousin and I would skip afternoon classes our entire senior year and play this

3- goldeneye (n64)
My high school GF bought this for my birthday right befor I left for college. Awesome game since I was a huge bond fan, but that 4 player action was just unreal. Everyone on my floor of the dorm would be up until 2am or later every single night playing this sh!t.


Honorable mentions:

Bionic commando (NES- 87 or 88). One of my favorite games so I have to mention it
Different than your basic platform game. So challenging but I managed to get to the point where I could smoke it no problem. I still put this game into the old nes once in awhile and go through it.

[SdoubleTea]

- Need for speed II SE, first real game i played i think.

- Roller coaster tycoon or Pokemon Saphire can't choose

- GTA: Vice City

Ocarina of Time - 2nd zelda game i played (link's awakening was first) amazing game, tied for 1st with link to the past as best zelda game
Final Fantasy VII - best final fantasy game and rpg of all time. still play it and love it
bioshock - best shooter campaign (until infinite came out) i ever played. rapture was awesome

honorable mentions: Chrono Trigger, Pokemon red/blue, pokemon gold/silver, pokemon stadium, smash bros, majoras mask, link to the past, final fantasy III (VI), final fantasy II (IV), golden sun, golden sun the lost age, bioshock infinite, halo ce, shadows of colossus, kingdom hearts, kingdom hearts 2, tony hawk pro skater, nfl blitz, grandia II, shemnue, shemnue 2, skies of arcadia, mario 64, combat arms, star wars knights of the old republic

Total War Empire - prob the best strategy game, sickening naval battles, historically accurate, spent months playing it. i still do

GTA SA - one word - classic

I love how Prince of Persia 3 wrapped up that storyline and was a nod to fans of sands of time

[xler]

planescape: torment : one of the best entertainment experiences of my life... actual game play left a bit to be desired but everything else just blew me away.... characters storyline music atmosphere just everything....

warcraft III : been playing this game since I was 12 years old and still play it to this day at 24. my competitive outlet... this game doesnt control as much of my life as it used to but every game gives me an incredible high (srs). will play until either I die or the servers die....

WoW Vanilla/TBC : its more of an honorary mention but idk insane nostalgia. much love for this stuff.

[Finch000]

Starcraft
Diablo II
Ocarina of Time

[Muzzlrpress]

Forgive my limitations. If you have more than three, feel free to add

[Manc33]

#3 - Doom (1995)
#2 - Duke Nukem 3D (1996)
#1 - Quake (1996)

lol @ all the youngsters here with N64 games etc.

When Doom came out it was one of the first games where you can run around shooting monsters. I think there#s a Wolfenstein that pre-dates Doom but from what I have seen of that it isn't 3D like Doom is, IDGAF if they call it the first one, it isn't, it looks like that Windows 95 "Hover" game.



All stand for the Windows 95 anthem...

[Ph0xlol]

Vice City
WoW
Mass Effect Series

[Benny_Lava]

Diablo 2, uncharted 2, and world of warcraft... Gotta throw in starcraft as well

Diablo my first loot addiction game

Uncharted 2 I don't know, just those feels dunno why. Amazing game.

World of warcraft, just good times. First game I've played where I actually enjoyed playing as a group. Normally I ****ing hate relying on other noobs.

Starcraft... The first game I really was god mode at.

[MCKMuscle]

1. WoW
2. Wow
3. WoW

Why? 4 years of high school every free moment raiding.

[Muzzlrpress]

I'll throw in a few more in terms of feels

()The walking dead game- so many feels in this game. Honestly never wanted it to end
