Games you Played When Younger that Shaped You.

[Caismeachd]

I lived in Alaska for 6 months and all I played was Genghis Khan and Wolfenstein 3D.

Genghis Khan shaped me up for any RTS games I ever played in the future. Can't think of any that came close though. I would play Genghis Khan with my brother in law, a true war game since you had to plan all your units to fight and conquer strategically. Wolfenstein 3D is pretty self explanatory. If you were fortunate enough to own a computer in 1993 (I did, damn I also loved Dune and Sim Ant) then you know Wolfenstein 3D "mein punta!"

These games shaped me. Especially Genghis Khan. But nobody knows that game. I am an old man now I guess but these games were pretty bad ass for their time.

[Neanderthal]

All the Final Fantasy series.

[Smaug]

Many games for Super Nintendo and PlayStation One. My favourites were Donkey Kong, Super Mario, Mortal Kombat, Oddworld, Driver 1 and 2, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, GTA, Centurion... Wow, I better stop, I'm getting nostalgic :(

[Kalitas]

I was part of a bowling league when I was 11 years old and instead of bowling I just played Mortal Kombat all the time. Learned every fatality. When Super Mario 3 game out it was like Jesus descended upon earth. That game was amazing when we first started playing it.

Aye buddy, those were good times. We were as entertained and had as much fun as much as nowadays' videogames.

My favorite game was "Age of Empire". I love strategic games where the speed of fingers does not matter.

[Heart of Oak]

Sorry I thought you meant things like "Doctors n nurses" "Cops n robbers" Ect...
closest I got to a hand set, was Saga mega drive sonic the hedgehog...
:picard2:

[bocc]

Not one single game, but when I started gaming online in the early 2000's it opened my eyes to competitive gaming and also matured me early as a pre teen from chatting regularly with people much older than me.

Tony Hawks Skateboarding, Thrasher: Skate and Destroy. Still love skateboarding, but rarely go out on one now - Last bail cost a lot of money and trouble to fix, and now i have braces the risk outdoes the reward. I'll be back riding in a couple of years though i hope :D. The great irony is that the fall that put me out of business for the longest is the one where i was wearing all my safety gear, and i almost always wore none at all (cause it's inconvenient as hell). Never wearing safety gear again, bad luck :).

Other games... Stronghold, Pharaoh, Age of Empires, World of Warcraft (bad game now). There's still some things on World of Warcraft that i consider unfinished, but i'm reluctant to go back because it's just a shell of what it used to be. Kind of a veteran at player-versus-player combat (6+ years as a warrior), but never made it big time, although my best buddy did, on multiple classes - gifted bloke.

Championship manager..was seriously addicted to the game.

lol.What gun are you using? I use the Scar H

[Ulex]

I am old enough to have played this game for countless hours:

http://biotelemetrica.pbworks.com/f/pong.jpg

In 1991 I bought a game called "Civilization" for my Amiga computer. It was a strategy game, were you had to build a civilization from stoneage to modern times, competing with other civs. I still play this game in its new variants.

I have always had chess on my PC, but the computer chess games ruined my passion for the game in real life. They made me adopt a strictly technical play style, which is good for beating a computer but not a human. It makes you play like a mathematician, neclecting the innovation and spontanity, the joy of chess. I wish I had never bought a chess game for my PC.

Other than that I like trader simulations, particularly those who deals with trade at sea.

But I am not much of a gamer, exept that I still play Civilization, whenever I get the chance.

I remember playing some of those games aswell.

Cannot remember if it was an Amstrad, or something else. The games would basically be on 'cassettes', which you would put into a keyboard console.

Something like this :

[Salem]

Pokemon.

[Methmatician]

I don't think any games shaped me, though I really enjoyed Crash Bandicoot and Super Mario Bros. 3. However the Grand Theft Auto series is probably the reason why I pretty much only play 'open world' games now :D

[Pretan]

Pokemon, fuck yeah!

Something like this :

It seems, we both have been through Home Computer Hell :D

A friend of mine had an Amstrad, which in many ways were better than the infamous Commodore 64. But sometimes product quality can't compete against marketing.

This was my first computer, the Texas TI-99 4A:

http://oldcomputers.net/pics/ti-994a.jpg

There were no games available for it, where I lived, and internet shopping was not invented yet, so I had to create my own games. Which was good. I became one of the early Basic programmers of the 1980's.

[Dacul]

World of warcraft.
But was quite harsh before I played WOW also.
After playing WOW became even more harsh.

[Atlantic Islander]

When I was a kid I played a lot of Donkey Kong and this vs game where you played tetris the first round, doctor mario the second round, and then tetris the third round - person with the most points at the end wins. I also played Super Mario World.

Street Fighter II made me think that fighting was ok.
Mortal Kombat made me violent, as I am to this day.
Super Mario Bros. made me think it is ok to eat magic mushrooms and engage in turtle related vioence.

[Ulex]

Did you play Ultima?

We played brandy and bull rush. A ball tiggy where the object wasn't just to get the other person but to leave a mark and the latter, make it through your friends and frenemies without being pounded into the mud.

[Kivan]
