Thanks for sharing the stories. I love reading childhood gaming stories, they always feel so mystical for some reason xD. Growing up I was spoiled with a great PC and a shit ton of consoles :P. The early days I was in love with old rareware games. Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, Donkey kong 64; the list goes on and on. It was fantastic going on these adventures. I would usually catch my dad playing some "stupid" game like Ultima or Baldur's gate on the PC. He would sit me down on his lap and we would play games like Doom 2 or Star Wars dark forces. The graphics looked kind of funky (dare I say ugly?) coming from the bright colors on my Gameboy color and Nintendo 64. Soon enough I was asking him to launch the games for me so I could play them. Alas the adventures did not end there. The new generations of consoles were about to release and I can't imagine were I would be without them. Shooting grunts in Halo was fun, and so was the wind waker but nothing, NOTHING compared to the unfair number of great games released on the ps2. I got introduced to Square Enix and did a little back tracking with their old PS1 games. I remember getting Final Fantasy 7-9 all for 10 bucks; the owner did not know one bit how much these would be worth ten years down the road. Most importantly however I got introduced to the Metal Gear series which undoubtedly is my favorite work of art of all time. Of course I could go in the late nighters with Pokemon or the great memories I had playing Halo 2 with friends and strangers; but this is just one (tiny) fragment of my gaming childhood.

1995 Red Alert. Best game ever.

 

Oh god, I played red alert so MUCH. Back in those days I had an freaky slow computer but red alert was perfoming good.

I still love the idea of having mammoth tanks crushing the enemy.

Computer games when I started didn't have colour, no 3D, no sounds other then beeps and "Graphics" were pictures created using ASCII

and most of those games I played I had to spend several days entering into the computer by hand in BASIC from a magazine.

 

Tape drives were the norm but very expensive and HDD's...... cost as much as a car.

[Damikiller37]

Gothic series hands down... also AoE II, Diablo II,HoMaM 3, Quake III Arena, GTA SA and NFS Hot Pursuit II. Funny enough for most of those games I were about 5-6 when playing so I had to hide so my mum didn't see. But one day she did and my Quake III Arena disk went straight into a bin snapped :(

[xx-Grim-One-xx]

The game(s) of my childhood was on the Atari 2600 "space invaders" and "Asteroids". For those of you who weren't born in the 60's or 70's, you can always google it.  :P

[Dragontail]

Pacman for our 286 computer with three colour screen!!!

 

Moonstone and Super cars 2 for amiga!!! Best games ever, even sat in a closet with a friend playing on a 14 inch fat TV(it got hot in there and not in the naughty sense).

 

Double dragon for nes and Super metroid for snes.

 

Then pc games got all of my attention, Red alert, starcraft, Half life, Motohead, CS and so on it went!

[KarmaOfPain]

I have played tons of SNES and N64 back in the day, but the Game of My Childhood would have to be Super Mario Bros. All Stars as I put tons of hours into that game,

[Maxibonbits]

[Oseirus]

Loom (Still holding my breath for a Loom 2):

 

The Secret of Monkey Island series (I squeed like a small school girl when they first announced the Special Editions):

 

And many, MANY others. I'd list them all but I'm far too lazy right now, and I would want to hunt down emulators for the whole lot.

[Adam the Grim]

Resident Evil 4 on the Nintendo Gamecube. Resident Evil 1-3 after that.  Monster Hunter 1 on PS2 and Freedom Unite on the PSP (Nowadays MH3U on 3DS). Diablo II (my first PC game) A TON of Pokemon, and every LoZ game from TP back.   (Oh and can't forget about Prof. Layton)

 

There are probably a lot more, because my dad had installed several emulators on the family computer, bought a GCN, PS2, a GBA (then a NDS) and a ton of games for me and my sister, but those are the ones that really come to mind more than any others right now.
