The first console I owned was the SNES as a youngin', I was 5 years old.

First games I had for that joint were Super Mario World and Street Fighter 2
... I remember playing SF2 with some older cousins and they were doing special moves and shyt and I was sitting there like

Then they showed me how to do the Hadoken motion and I was

I had a shyt ton of games for the SNES after that, for some reason... Gradius 3 was constantly in rotation, along with other fighting games like MK, Killer Instinct etc... Another game that I played the shyt out of, was Super Batter Up Baseball. I used to give my cousin that work in that game and I'm like 5 years younger than him

I later got a Genesis, Sonic and Knuckles was mindblowing... It's like the concept of modern day DLC now, but 25 years ago.

After this gen, I ended up getting a Playstation. My uncle would always bring it over my crib, and then 1 day he left it over and said I could have it



All I had was that PSX Demo Disc but that's all I needed for months... anyway I tried list the ones that influenced my taste in games to this day the most.

Breh outside of a few shooters, that shyt right there is damn near identical to mine

I'll add in Shenmue and Bad Company 2. That shyt really got me into FPS like nothing before it and nothing ever since.

Speaking of demo discs. I remember wearing this disc out

 

[Take It In Blood]

the GOAT

My lil bro had a Dreamcast and Shenmue, I just didn't give af


I'm sure it's lit, always heard it's great from gamers

Sidenote: I think an early experience with RPGs when I was a kid turned me off from the genre. I forget which game it was, but my moms bought me some game where all I remember was walking around talking to people and having to read the text on the screen. I was only like 6 probably, I wasn't trying to read shyt in a videogame. When I see games out now without voice acting it takes me back to that place on SNES

Damn, I don't know how I forgot GTA3 and San Andreas.

I rented Vice City, but those other two I did just about everything in them

Virtua fighter remix for the Sega Saturn. Sega Saturn was the first console I ever owned. I used to always have to go to a friend's house to play snes or genesis. I was like 6 years old and this is when it first came out. It came with VF remix on there but that was the only game That I had for a good couple months before my mom finally got me a new game. Played the hell out of it and because of that Virtua Fighter is one of my favorite gaming series today. I'm still waiting on VF 6.

Other games I'll throw in there are MGS just because it was a whole different experience gaming wise for me being a kid and playing that shyt.

Mass Effect because I got crazy into the story and played the trilogy probably like 25 times if I had to guess. I loved that game so much.

 

[the_FUTURE]

Sonic 2/Sonic and Knuckles/Sonic 3D/Sonic spinball
All dem super mario games.

there were so many other games, but those got the most time.

But I knew there was no turning back when I got the gameboy colour and N64. Link's Awakening/Pokemon and Mario 64 and OOT and DKR...

I wanna go back.

was never a PS guy, but I played some games at my friends house. Tony Hawk was fun.

I'm still waiting on VF 6.

You and I both know...VF6 is dropping the same day as Dr Dre's Detox

 

[GoldenGlove]

Uncharted 2, I forgot that one. Amazing campaign and a great multiplayer.

Best game in that series hands down

 

[Cyber]

Damn near every main-line Mario game up until the Wii U, specifically:
Galaxy
SMB3
SMW
SMW2 Yoshi's Island (first game I ever 100%'d)
SM64


Zelda as well:
OoT
TP
ALttP
WW
Maybe not on the level of any of the above but I really enjoyed Four Swords Adventure, I think OoT is the only Zelda I spent more hours playing

Favorite genre is RPG, the ones that made the biggest impression:
FF7
Paper Mario 1 & 2
Earthbound
Symphony of the Night
FF6
Super Mario RPG
Mario & Luigi 1 & 3
All the Pokemon games from gen1-4, specifically gen 3-4; HGSS was my favorite which was an improved version of my previous favorite GSC
FF4 has a spot just because I was SOOO close to beating it, gave up on the final boss

Outside of those:
GTA SA (never beat it, unfortunately), IV, and V
Sonic 3
Castlevania IV
Sonic Adventure
Megaman classic and X series as a whole, 3 was my favorite for the original and X4 was my favorite for X. Still need to beat 11 and X7/X8 before I can say I've beaten them all
SSBM & SSBB - 100%'d Brawl was probably my biggest gaming achievement
NBA 2K11 - It's unplayable for me now due to being so used to the mechanics of recent 2k's (and it's really limited compared to later 2k's) but it's the greatest basketball game I've played simply for the wow factor it gave me that I haven't felt since
