Childhood

Recommended Posts

Simple question. Which video game defined your childhood and why?

For me it's all about the Super Nintendo.

-Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers (Possibly my first legit English lessons)

-Tetris/Dr. Mario mix (The favorite of my family)

-Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (My favorite of all I had. Yeah, I played M games when I was seven. It's not the games people! It's the parenting!)

Listening to the Sim City SNES soundtrack to this day relaxes my very soul. I feel so much childhood comfort in it.

I think it's Secret of Mana (SNES) that really was my childhood. Also, Fallen Haven/Liberation Day (PC), since it was my first enjoyable TBS (Civnet doesn't count! :P).

...

And Starwing (the european name of SNES's Starfox)! ;)

Mario Kart 64, Hydro Thunder, and Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. All for N64. Those are some real classics, and were my first video games.

How far back do you want to go? Pacman on 2600. Duckhunt, mario, bart vs the space mutants on nes, SNES, N64, PS1 and Megadrive had to many to list.

MechWarrior 2. Possibly the first video-game I ever played.

Even today I'm obsessed with Mechs.

Streets of Rage, Toejam & Earl, Road Avenger, Sol-Feace, and Berzerk. I played those the most when I was a kid.

I was born in 86. Some of my first gaming memories were of 2600, Nes and my uncles commadore 64. Given that the Snes came out in 92, and I didnt get one on release day as far as I know, and assuming memories start age 5, that's more than enough time to have memories of those old machines. After all, it's not like when the NES came out all the 2600s just vanished.

Also, I'm assuming childhood ends at age 16 thats 2002, so technically I could include the PS2 in that list but that's pushing it a bit.
