Young (93-98)

- Reader Rabbit
- Math Blaster
- Wolfenstein 3d
- Dark Forces
- Atari Battlezone
- X-COM: UFO Defense
- Seven Cities of Gold
- Outlaws
- Heroes of Might and Magic 1-3
- Might and Magic 6
- Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far
- Age of Empires
- Starcraft
- all the N64 classics
 
Wolfenstein 3D/Spear of Destiny, all old Doom games, Quake and the LBA games.
 
6-10? Okay, that would be ... 1988-1992? I was an NES kid. So, Mario, Rad Racer, predominantly Battletoads. Also whichever games I could borrow from friends or rent. I didn't have that many games during that time. Nor a PC.
 
when i see my nephew play Age of Empires now and he likes it, I am so glad he is choosing games I once loved. he also cannot get enough of the Half Life series. I tell him if he plays the HL games he'll enjoy the best games

I loved Blood back in the day when it first was released.

Blasting fanatics with remote dynamite bundles and watching them as well as their gibs and blood fly hundreds of feet into the air never got old.

Unfortunately, time has been a cruel mistress to it's now nauseous worthy Build engine graphics as I played an abandonware ROM rip not long ago and found out that I could no longer stomach it's archaic pixelated sprites and cardboard box environments.

It's gameplay is still golden though. I'd love to see a version of this game with hi-res graphics and hi-res 2D sprites. If this were to happen, it would be my definite favorite current FPS of all time. Even more so than HL2 and every other modern FPS.

Wishful thinking. I wish I was a more competent programmer and 3D graphics designer, or I'd just do eet myself. :(

I hadn't played any of the other Dragon Warriors until I was older. Funny thing is, I'm currently playing Dragon Quest 8 for the first time.
 
Metroid was the first big game that I loved. Mario and Zelda of course. Final Fantasy 2 had a pretty big impact on me when I first played it. Later Starcraft kept my attention for a few years and more recently natural selection.

Glad to see LBA (Relentless) get quite a few mentions ... was the first game that sprung into my head when I saw the thread title. That was truly a fantastic game with imagination that you don't see in games these days.

Another few games I loved back then:

Magic Pockets
Chuck Yeager's Air Combat
The Lost Vikings
Star Control 2
Commander Keen
Theme Park

I just remembered Albion, the old Bluebyte RPG. All the magazines and reviewers hated it, but I loved it.

Been through that a couple of times myself. Went back a year or two ago, didn't age very well, but yeah. First RPG I ever played.

Oh, and talking of Bluebyte, anyone play Archimedean Dynasty? That was probably my favourite game for a while. Was so hyped when they announced a sequel. Life sure is a bitch.
 
Van Halen, unless you're like thirteen years old, you should not be putting down the XBox port of Half-Life 2. That was quite a dump of more than a couple games.

How are you liking it? I got a decent amount of the way into the game, then just kinda stopped....not because it was boring, but because I spent such a large amount of time away, I forgot what I was doing.
