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 :)
Pretty much every Sierra franchise.
Warcraft, C&C, Street fighter two turbo, and final fantasy!
Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Space Invaders (on an Atari 2600), Tempest and Pitfall!
- super mario world
- doom
- age of empires 2
- RuneScape
- world of warcraft (only started it as young adult though)
- Space Invaders I feel like I should include one of the classic games I played in the 80s. You never forget your first, and I played this more than any others and it influenced my career as an adult. However I think 10 mile hike, burger time, breakout and pacman are better.
- Heroes of Might and Magic 3 My room mates would hotseat games while watching movies. A lot of fond memories
- Factorio Probably played more than any other game
- Golden Axe Warrior Not to be confused with Golden Axe. This was a Zelda clone on the Sega Master System. One of the best games on that platform IMO.
- Boulders gate 1 Besides golden axe warrior the only other RPG I really got into. Unfortunately I wiped my hard drive with a game that I had been playing for months and I just couldn’t get back into it after that.
Homm3 is GOAT. I still play that with friends and relatives to this day.
It really was the best out of all the homms. I still play it too. Absolute perfection of a game.
Bro, it’s on the play store. You can get it on a tablet, and is very much playable.
Boulders Gate? I know And I have it, along with a few other editions. I’ve just never get past the first tavern without losing interest. Which is strange because I was hooked when I first played it.

Sims 3
-
Skyrim
-
Animal Crossing New Leaf
-
Cities: Skyline
-
Sims 2
So I don’t really feel that old when reading the notes, I do however apologise to anyone having an age crisis reading this.

Mine is:

Super Mario 64
-
Pilot Wings 64

RuneScape >!because it taught me that I like RPGs!<

Zelda II The Adventure of Link
Super Metroid

Myst
Doom
Honorable mention goes to Super Mario Land.
Baulders gate on ps2 was my introduction into RPG and a bonding experience with my aunts ex.
GTA 1 was my escape from an abusive house
Tony hawk kept me from getting picked on for my gaming choices
Smash bros had me bonding with my closest friends
NBA street helped me and my brother escape from our parents.
- Star Fox 64, for sure
- Half Life was a very big deal for me. Couldn’t finish it when I was 8 because it was too scary, and it felt absolutely amazing coming back at 15 and blowing through it.
- Turok 2 seeds of evil. Didn’t play it outside of using the cheats. It was basically a gore Sim for me.
- LoZ series was a very big deal.
- Much later, Armored Core 4 and 4A would make me obsessed with good mech gameplay.
Man, it’s hard stratifying games you care about, especially when you have a massive log of them that all impacted you in one way or another. There were a bunch of free Linux games that I have very fond memories of too, like Nexuiz, OpenArena, Abuse, etc. Also a bunch of weird niche games and demos, like One Must Fall and Food Fight and Fur Fighters. It’s an impossible task, honestly.
