Which reminds me, Force Unleashed should be on my list.

 

Force push is so fun. I could do it all day.

That's much newer right, like 2009?  I did not play that, looked like fun though.

 

...2008, I was close.

Tekken

Spyro

Red Alert

Age of Empires (first one)

Okay... I know this is such a common choice, but I'm gonna say it any way. Ocarina of Time. I've never known life without it, it was the first game I ever played. When I was little I wanted to live in Hyrule damn it! I would spend pretty much any money I got on swords or shields from the dollar store. I would even draw my own Zelda games. I was also scared of redeads, so I never made it past the shadow temple till I was like 9. lmao

 

I would wonder what kind of mysteries the game had left to see, I'd talk and make things up about the game with my brother and other kids on the playground.

 

Later on I kinda forgot about it and moved on, but my family went through some really rough times when I was about 12, so I kinda turned back to it as an escape I guess. I would just play it over and over again, it got me through some bad times.

 

So I have a really strong emotional attachment to the game. Sadly, the cartridge no longer works but I'll always keep it, it's pretty much my prized possession.

I remember one of the first FPS games I played on PC way back when, Command and Conquer: Renegade, Man i spent a lot of time on that game. I played a ton of Battlefield 1942 and Call of Duty 1 back then too. I'd have to have been in 5th or 6th grade then, my family was poor growing up so i didn't get a chance to play any Nintendo or sega games like most of the other people my age. I didn't get to game till my family got a decent PC.

SSX3, I maxed out every character multiple times as a kid. I still sometimes hook up my gamecube just to play it. The soundtrack gets me pumped.

thread title says single game in friggin capital letters and people post huge lists of games.... but can't blame anyone since the TS ignored his own title as well asking for games in his post...

 

anyway, my early childhood was all about killing fucking nazi's all day long and spamming space bar searching for secrets. Talking wolfenstein 3D of course.

[Wrb]

Legend of Void 2

Tough one. Either Lego Star Wars II for the PSP or WipeOut, also for the PSP.

 

With regards to the latter, I'm playing through Redout on the PC right now. Awesome game

I had a love/hate relationship with it (and I only played the demo).

 

What I liked about societies is that you could even edit people's names in it. Really cool if you want to build a small town.

Yeh. I remember this one time I ran out of money before I buit any workplaces, so I had to work my way up from chicken coops.
