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 :)
The Secret of Monkey Island Master of Orion Dune Strike Commander Privateer
Listed in reverse order of importance to me. Usually one of these was in my life at any given time, obsessions taking turns.
All of these were SNES/genesis other than dominion which was pc.
Whatever hockey game I had on genesis gets an honorable mention. It’s the only purely sports game I’ve ever played and liked.
Super Mario Bros 3 (on GBA)
Runescape
Pokemon Diamond
Skyrim
COD4
Elite, Hanse, Pirates, Castles of Dr. Creep, Lode Runner.
Bonus points if you know any of them...
Well, I'm not as old as some people, but here goes.
• Sonic Mega Collection
• Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 ( w/ all expansions )
• Borderlands 1
• Worms Armageddon ( the xbox360 version )
• Destroy All Humans 2
Patapon 2
Wizard101
Minecraft
Skyrim
Cytus
Pokémon Platinum
Diablo 1
Mabinogi
Yume Nikki
Cytus is pretty much the core of my whole personality (and music taste) so it is The Most Defining game for me. Platinum is special since it was my first game instead of a family game or whatever. Diablo scared the crap out of baby me but I really liked playing it! It was something my entire family played, everyone had a character save. I always was interested in MMOs but Mabinogi is The One that works for me. I reminded me a lot of Runescape when I played it but didn't have an egregious pay wall behind half the content (when I got to playing mabi, ik they had some pay walled stuff that they've gotten rid of over the years). I play any tab target MMO and I'll just have 'damn I'd rather be playing mabinogi rn' in the back of my head most of the time. And Yume Nikki was my first real foray into horror. I'm a wimp and hate playing horror games but I loved how vague everything was that I learned everything I could about the game. Enough to guide a friend through it over a phonecall.
stone tablets
Right there with ya OP!
Sly cooper
Cod 4
Burnout 3
||| Child Youth gap |||
New Vegas
Borderlands 2
Going to date myself very specifically. 🙃
And here I am trying to figure out what Child Youth Gap is lol I played through burnout 3 a year ago, it is soooo good still ❤️
F19 Commander Keen Wolfenstein Gaïa
As a young adult Morrowind Command and conquer -red alert Fallout3
I could just make the list all Pokemon games, but that seems like cheating...
Hmm definitely Minecraft, Skyrim, and Sa2b. As for the other two… probably Town of Salem and Fantasy Life for the 3ds
I still play Minecraft, I played some modded skyrim last year (and got the oblivion remaster) and I literally got a steam deck primarily so I could play sa2b on it whenever I want. I’ve been loving the fantasy life sequel that just came out too. The only thing I don’t really play anymore is town of Salem bc the servers suck even worse now. So few players that you’re always stuck with racist trolls and shit
Basically, teen me had pretty good taste
Counter-Strike 1.4 Counter-Strike 1.5 Counter-Strike 1.6 Call of Duty: United Offensive Day of Defeat
It's so hard picking 5 but:
Super mario bros Half life Metal gear solid Driver Grand theft auto 3
Don't remember which game specifically, but the moment when you're escaping out if the bowels of a living planet is unforgettable. Also the game is overall kinda creepy, I had hard time playing it lol.
More towards my mid-teens, found about borderlands. Played it through and through, found great people in borderlands forums, it introduced me to so many good songs that are at the top of my playlists to this day. Two very great games.
Speaks for itself. There will never be a game remotely close to how good TF2 was. Even TF2 itself.
Also some honorable mentions:
And only recently I discovered World of Warcraft, specifically Wrath of the Lich King. Don't really have anyone to play with, but sometimes it's fun tanking for the entire group of randoms. I really enjoy tanking, when I know where to lead the group to lol.
I think at least. Mario Kart DS also ranks highly of course, so does Team Fortress 2 and Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. GTA SA/IV, Pokémon Diamond, Wii Sports, Super Mario Galaxy. I gamed a lot as a kid/teenager so there's plenty that influenced me.
And then there were games like Pizza Connection (my mother loved playing all parts except for the action sequences, which were my obligation), Aces over the Pacific, Lands of Lore, One Must Fall: 2097, Mortal Kombat, Stars!, Sinistar, Master of Orion 2, M.A.X., Z, Gender Wars (lol the story was utter trash but the gameplay was fun), Metal Marines (I just loved shooting rockets between windows on my desktop)...
And the longer i think, the longer the list gets because i start to remember more, like Syndicate, Alley Cat (i just found out that there is a Remeow Edition for free!, Abuse, Mechwarrior 2, ...
Damn, gotta look into my old archives and go on a retro rampage this weekend
FF VII
Ocarina of Time
Ghost & goblins
Galaga '88
Ninja Spirit
Starfox 64
Pokemon Snap
Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
Age of Empires 2
Halo (1-3)
Megaman 4
Donkey Kong 64
Paper Mario 64

Guitar Hero (a lot of them but mostly World Tour)
That's usually the case for me too, but these games in the screenshot are older than the ones I tend to see in other posts like this so this one doesn't make me feel as old.
The DS wasn't the first gaming machine I ever had, but it was the one I had from ages 13-18 and the one where I cut my teeth.
Pokémon Red, Pokémon Gold/Silver, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Call of Duty 4.
I played a lot of games and can list many more, however those are the ones off the top of my head.
in roughly chronological order:
to this day, Titanfall 2 is by far my favorite FPS game. nothing comes even remotely close
super smash bros melee
tomodachi life
sonic adventure 2
will add last 2 if i can think of any
Super Mario Bros 3 Dark Reign Unreal Tournament Homeworld Gears of War
Star Ocean 2, FFVII, Chrono Cross, Legend of Dragoon, Resident Evil 2.
Honorary mention for literal every ps1 game.
I can only think of 4 big ones.
HellMOO, based on LambdaMOO, a text based game/roleplay/sandbox engine.
Blockland, a Lego kind of game about building with much more on top (like how Minecraft is a building game with more to it)
Zelda Majora's Mask / Twilight Princess.
GTA San Andreas (Multi Theft Auto / SA multiplayer mods)
Maybe something like Creatures. I still think of those games.
