most memorable video games

[HeJurmhoanni]

Pokemon Gold Version, the game I've played the most in my entire life.

I bought it from my friend for 20€ when I was 11 or 12 and after that played it all the time except when I was at school. Even at school I discussed the game with my friend every chance we had. Mom told me to go outside, I brought the GameBoy Color with me. Mom told me to go to sleep, I brought the GameBoy with me and played in the bed until 2 in the morning. And I will admit that about half a year ago I fixed my old GameBoy and played the game for a week or two, few hours a day, as an 18-year-old. I almost even bought a second GameBoy Color and a Silver Version of Pokemon to sync the games to have an access to everything in the games.

Sounds like me with the age series, minus the carrying my PC everywhere, that would be both odd and extremely hard to carry

gameboy color....now that brings back some memories.

used to play super mario bros. deluxe in school. can't recall how many times my 'friends' would filtch my gameboy from my backpack so that they could play it in their study hall sessions.

also played zelda:link's awakening quite a bit - awesome zelda game and equally great gameboy title. many hours spent playing that game in school and elsewhere.

I had a ps2 growing up and most memorable games for me was tony hawk pro skater 3 (such an amazing soundtrack too) and nba street 2. Played these games every time friends came over. I got a gamecube later and will add super smash bros to the list

Ohhhhh yeah! I was absolutely in love with Tony Hawk's games from the era of Tony Hawk's Underground, Underground 2 and American Wasteland. From those three, American Wasteland is actually also among the most memorable games for me, the stuff you could do in that game were so vast I never grew tired of it. Every day after school (even after the next Tony Hawk's game came out) I went to my friends place or he came to me to spend the evening doing custom skate-parks in the creation mode and playing split-screen with him. I tell you, we must have found like a hundred glitches from the singleplayer maps only by just playing countless of hours of split screen in them, and usually it was hide and seek or tag or something like that we did in split-screen free-roam instead of the designated modes that were actually about skateboarding

About a year and a half ago, I remember I dug my PS2 from my cabinet and plugged it into out TV and that was the last time I played that game. Such a great time

Yea man, it brings back so much nostalgia

[TubTub]

Recent-ish - Rainbow Six Vegas (I was in the Top EU team), CoD4 (Best CoD imo), AOE3 for obvious reasons.

Childhood - Super Mario (n64), Legend of Zelda (n64), Pokemon blue.

Fantastic thread but for me I have favourites on every platform instead of all round favourites.

Going way back to my first console...Sega Mega Drive you had classics like Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe and Streets of Rage.

On the N64 you had GoldenEye and Zelda Ocarina of Time.

My first PC game was Sid Meier's Colonization

On handheld devices I don't think anything rivalled Pokémon, I actually think the Pokémon franchise really drove handheld device sales in the mid-naughties.

Then onto the franchise I have and probably always will support...the Playstation. Over the years I have played many great games. You have Gran Turismo, Tomb Raider(Latest of which is a cracking game), Grand Theft Auto, then more recently you had Red Dead Redemption I played and thought was another great game. There are many many many I could mention but I shall leave it at that.

I actually got into the Age series when I first played Age of Empires 2 on my PS2 and enjoyed it so much that when I got myself a PC the first game I looked to purchase was AoE2, and the rest, as they say, is history.

[deadhanddan]

first pc game i ever played was quest for glory 5 (pretty cool rpg ) , followed by sid meyers civ 1 and then jedi knight dark forces 2 and its expansion mysteries of the sith (awesome games especially on multiplayer)

i first got aoe1 in summer of 98 and became hooked easily. i still remember the first multiplayer game on it i did was a 3v3 deathmatch and i assumed that the build limit was 50 just like the campaign....i about crapped myself when 200 eles  what seemed to be about 400 phalanxes came crashing into my base of 40ish axemen haha was rather funny how bad i got pwnd
