Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I had been through four consoles and five jobs before most of the games in the notes had come out.
My top five were virtually chiselled on stone tablets by comparison :)
I can't limit it to 5.
I keep trying to, and it doesn't work, I end up leaving out something that I spent a massive amount of time on and also very strongly impacted my conception of what a game can be.
xenogears final fantasy 7 final fantasy 10 super smash Bros melee Diablo 2
Moo2
FFT
Golden Eye
Red Alert
Mariokart 64
This list could also be alternatively titled: "Why I flunked out of college the first time."
In rough chronological order:
Starflyers
Mario Kart
Shadow cities
COD zombies (ios app version)
Minecraft
I'm stopping this list before high school, as I built my first PC and figured out emulation, so I started playing a lot more games.
-Pokemon Gold (OG)
-Metroid: Zero Mission/Fusion
-SSBM
-Battlefront II (The OG one)
-The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
Morrowind Ocarina of Time Donkey Kong Country The Sonic chaos game on dreamcast Time splitters
Oh man, I remember playing time splitters at my buddies place. We spent so much time building custom maps
Very similar to mine except I had Link's Awakening (instead of LttP) and FF7
I really miss Ragnarok Online. Some friends and I played on iRO while that was free for a bit and then later on euRO. The monthly fee was a significant fraction of my pocket money as a highschool kid but totally worth it
I played a lot of Atari and Collecovision as a kid, but games didn’t feel “important” until my family bought our first PC. After that, game consoles in general stopped being important. It was a new world of possibility.
Journeyman was amazing! Great story and pretty amazing 3D rendered graphics for the time.
Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards
Super Mario 1 & 3.
688 Attack Sub
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
Halo:CE would probably be the single most important, but it just missed my teenage years.
-Copy Kitty
-Undertale
-Super Smash Bros. (4 & Ultimate)
-Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
-Fantasy Life
Man, this is hard to narrow down.
In no particular order and with limited time thinking about it:
My first console was a NES I inherited, but the first console gotten for me was a SNES, and the first console I received new in box was a GameCube. PS2 underrepresented in this list although Guitar Hero was on there and that game was wildly important for getting me more interested in music in general.
GTA: San Andreas and NFSU2. But not for the reasons you think. They were the first games that I could play on my school laptop. It was super slow (amd A6 1450 Apu, 4 gb ram) and those ran perfectly fine.
Heh I played NFSUG2 on a laptop with 2 GB RAM. It shipped with Vista but ran great with XP.
2 GB was a ton back then! You could fit a whole OS into that, twice!
I actually have a pentium M laptop that I played NFSU2 on during that time. My sister would use my school laptop (we weren't allowed to use my home computer) and I'd use the pentium m machine. I wouldn't be surprised if the pentium m had better single core performance than the A6.
Edit: I found a few benchmarks and the 735 is somewhat faster in single core performance provided that the instruction set is supported.
Mine is:
...
california games.
Flowers of crystal.
Tetris.
Daedelian opus.
Tetris.
ET because fuck me and fuck that game
Atari 2600 ET?
Yeah. Not the best game ever made :)
Given i was like, five at the time i did not find out that game was so shite it murdered the console industry for decades. I spent .years thinking I was just horrible at videogames. So mad about that.
Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, Apex Legends, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (1 and 2) and Terraria. I'm not very old X)
Twisted Metal 2 Final Fantasy 7 Legend of Dragoon Final Fantasy 8 Hydro Thunder
Commander Keen
Neverhood
Earthbound
Super Mario World
Secret of Mana
What an interesting way to look at demographics!
Off the top of my head:
Oh wait, Elite (BBC, Amstrad, and ST) — probably more so than Xenon.
Commodore Vic 20/Commodore64: Clowns, Omega Race, a space station game, Ghosts and Goblins, Zork, there was a Transformers game (looked fan made), Lode Runner, and about a dozen more
I was in high school when I bought my first console, so it's pretty much just Landstalker and Phantasy Star IV.
Games that i bonded with my siblings playing growing up. Our lives would have not been the same without them.
Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros, Xena Warrior Princess, Going Quackers, Pokémon Stadium
I m old.
Am I young or everyone else old?
