I'm especially intrested in hearing from gaming veterans.
Here is my brief : (Note: these are not the only games I've ever played, only the ones that have affected me)
1. Wolfenstein 3D (http://www.3drealms.com/wolf3d/)
Yes! Before Doom popularized the FPS genre, there was the infamous nazi killer. Wolfenstein was my very first game when I was 7 years old. (Explains a lot, huh?) To tell you the truth, I never got passed the very first room until I was 9 and realized I had to press "Space" to open doors.
2. Warcraft 2
From there one, a love for Blizzard emerged in my young soul. After having it lying on a CD for a few years, my older cousins finally helped me to figure it out, and I was immerged in the life of a computer gamer.
3. Quake I
After playing Warcraft for a year or two, I went back to my FPS roots and started fraggin demons when I was 9 years old. Endless fun.
4. Sim City 2000
This is when I moved from France to the United-States. I discovered Sim City from a friend, bought it, and I got bored of it after two days. Hurray!
4. Half-Life
When my friend first showed me the demo on his computer, my liver imploded and left a big brown present in my pants. I was playing a movie! Unlike in Quake, where the storyline developed through little bits of text at the end of each world, this was a continous world! This was magic!
5. Starcraft
I can't actually quite recal wether I played Half-Life or Starcraft first. Whichever, they were both amazing games, and they started my life as a SERIOUS gamer, who just stayed home on weekends to watch colors on his screen, all the while getting carpal tunnel syndrome.
6. Diablo II
My first and last RPG. I loved it until my Dad reached level 80 when I was still at level 40, then, for some bizarre reason, I completely hated it.
7. Warcraft III
The first time I had experienced a phenomenon known as "Shitty framerate". On an unrelated coincidence, my last RTS. This is because I bought a new computer to play it, and the computer came with a demo of UT2003. Warcraft 3 also introduced my to Internet forums! YAAAY! I now have a total of around 20,000 posts on 15 different forums.
8. Unreal Tournament 2003
The very foundations of my gaming experience were shaken. Beleive it or not, this is the very first time I PLAYED A GAME ONLINE! v00t! The very first time I made friends online as well.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
9. Enemy Territory
I was looking for a demo of RTCW to relive the old wolfenstein days, when I fell upon a completely free version of the multiplayer! I initially left it, thinking it was a virus, until it came on a magazine with PC Gamer. I've been playing it since the month it came out, and still play it today. Hands down the best game ever. Also my first (and most probably last) clan experienced. I left a few weeks after I was recruited because it was too stressful. I played as a replacement a few times after, but that's all.
10. Call of Duty
The concept of "iron sights" boggled my mind. The best WWII game to date IMO.
11. Half-Life 2
Nuff' said.
12. Battlefield 2
Played it since the day the demo came out, received the pre-order yesterday. Played it about 7 hours today.
Other games I've played but didn't bother mentioning: Heroes of might & Magic (I, II, and III), Quake 3, Far Cry, Full Throttle, Alone in the dark II & III, Doom II, Halo, Diablo (the first one), Band of Brothers, Battlefield 1942, NOLF, Snood
, Tomb raider 2 (none of the others, although my Dad has played all of them from 2-5), Nomad Soul, America's Army, and more that I can't be bothered to remember...
