Sonic would be mine, I have a son called Miles and a daughter called Aimee-Rose.

But X-Wing, Wing Commander, Red Alert on PS1 networked against a friend will always be close to my heart.

Zelda: a link to the past

Halo CE (custom edition)

Halo 2

Banjo Kazooie

Goldeneye

 

Halo CE introduced me to the coding scene when I started my own server back in 04.  Still play and make maps to this day :)

 

Looking back makes me feel old.

i do not even understand how a 17 year old child can feel old in the first place, or refer to anything as "back in"

 

on a side note .. ocarina of time? super mario 64? super nintendo/nintendo 64 anyone? ..

Runescape. I played nothing else for many years. I believe I had around 16-1700 hours by the time I quit.

I had 400 days on runescape which is about 9600 hours,yet again,i was botting 80% of the time.

Mario Kart 64

A lot more challenging than all the other Mario Karts out there IMO, especially when you play with skilled players and 150CC. The A.I can make you rage every once and a while.

Never trust a hug. Its just a way to hide your face - The Doctor (Sounds something like the grumpy cat would say)

It would be down to Ratchet and Clank 2 vs Gran Turismo 4 vs Kingdom Hearts.

I remember playing Counter Strike 1.6. My first LAN party was when I was 5 years old and we were playing Unreal Tournament 99 and Empire Earth: Art of Conquest all day long:D...! Empire Earth is the best game of all time!
