I wasn't able to start gaming until I was around like 12, but when I did, I loved a game called Dungeon Defenders on the Xbox 360. Came out in 2011, so it's not nearly as old as most of the games listed here.

Dungeon Defenders was actually full of modded accounts on the Xbox, and they distributed loot everywhere that did like a billion damage and one shot everything (yet somehow I still sucked at the harder maps lol). I could never enjoy the game now with all the modded shit, but back then it was fucking awesome. It's the game that got me into modding and is the reason I'm as computer savvy as I am today, so it will always be a fond memory in my head.

Nox. It's a computer game by Westwood Studios.

syphon filter and syphon filter 2. The multiplayer against my cousin where we just ran around and throw grenades at each other was just pure fun.

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

the first syphon filter was so mind blowing as a teen.

The game that had the single biggest effect on my current taste has to be Another World.

Think Quick! immediately comes to mind as the an early one I played a lot of, followed by Mines of Titan.

I am not sure I could go through the 90's games that left lasting impressions on me. I guess Homeworld, Sacrifice, Marathon, Alpha Centauri, and Chrono Trigger have occupied a massive amount of my mind for ages now, haha.

Spyro. Hard stop. Beat over 100% several times. Loved the platform mechanics, the visuals, the humor, and the sense of wonder. Lovely games that basically scratches that itch of a mobile collecting game but with a story to follow and purpose for doing it.

The Halo franchise is also up there but i actually was just one of the people that just built maps in forge for custom game modes and think that was super fun, limits that made me more creative with how i built the maps. Then to see them get played and filled with people was always so fun.

Ultimately V

Ultimately VI

Wing Commander

Played a lot of games... But the NES didn't really have that many standouts for me. I could write an extensive list of games I played for a lot of hours but out of the raft of games there wasn't many that particularly were a favorite more like a dichotomy of whether each bit of the list enjoyable and not. The SNES was definitely Super Mario RPG, Donkey Kong Country and Chronotrigger but it was the N64 that got me games that I replayed like crazy.

Zelda Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros, Harvest Moon 64, Snowboard Kid's 2 and Diddy Kong Racing made the top of that list. Those were fucking awesome games.

By the time I got a PS2 I was technically an adult and Nintendo never really recaptured my heart like it did when I was a kid. I have been a playstation loyalist since then but that N64 still has a spot in my basement.

Probably all the Nintendo 2d and 2.5d racers. RC ProAm, another similar one with boats, and one with trophy trucks (that may have been arcade-only). I liked cars. Super Mario Bros 1 also.

Crusader: No Remorse and it's sequel. FMV cut scenes, isometric shenanigans. I would love a modern day remake that obviously isn't a shitty cash grab.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

There's something special about those old FMV games. Sega CD had a bunch. Megarace is another that always comes to mind. And Mad Dog McCree!

[–] UsefulInfoPlz@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome (psygnosis on the Amiga) and probably Parsec on the ti 99 4/a. Yes i’m old

[–] nul9o9@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

PS2 really had the bangers.

FFX, Devil May Cry series, and MGS3 were awesome.

Moved over to the 360 and played MW2 / Halo 3 with the bros in highschool.
