Kinare Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 My first childhood game that I could call my own was Pokemon Gold I believe. I often stole my bro's GB and Pokemon Blue, though. also played the earlier Mario games at friend's houses. Wasn't allowed to have video games for a lot of my childhood so I missed out on a lot. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirRob Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I've played plenty of games before it, but I consider my childhood game to be Pokemon Gold. It's the game I get the most nostalgic over, especially since the internal battery got screwed up so I can't really play through the whole thing anymore.

KookyFox Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well there were many, my dad taught it me how important video games are very early on ^^. SoWolfenstein 3D; Myth; Age of Empires; Age of Empires II; Sim City 2000; Cossacks; Heavy Metal 2000: the game (yes I played it when I was a kid); Full Throttle; Sonic the Hedgehog; Super Mario Bros.; Duck Hunt; Super Mario Bros. 3; TMNT (NES the not so bad one); TetrisThen came the time when I got the N64: Mario 64, Goldeneye 64, Clay Fighters, TLOZ OOT, TLOZ MM ( my favorite one)... amongst many othersThen I had a gamecube in 2003: Sonic Adventure Dx, Sonic Adventure 2 (probably the gamecube game I played the most, damned chao), Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart DD, Starfox Adventures (furfag alert: I remember getting a lot of awkward boners in this game, especially when Fox is taen prisonner at the Cloudrunner's fortress), TLOZ WW (I had the OOT+MQ special edition).That's about when I started having my own PC and when I entered middle school, so the rest no longer counts as childhood games ^w^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U///u also dat soundtrack <3Some others would be Crash Bandicoot 2 and Pokemon Gold (still the best ever totally not biased or anything :v) also, there was this really crash-grabby Toy Story 2 game that my brother and I played like mad.

Sar Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Rayman was one of those games I could not stop playing in my childhood. The music and graphics were perfect, there was a strategy regarding taking damage and losing lifes in speedruns and the controls were progressively easy! That game was perfect!

Gumshoe Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Earliest game I can remember was Spyro YOTD, but my "childhood game" would probably be Paper Mario the thousand year door.I've probably beaten that games a dozen times.

Sutekh_the_Steak Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Definitely Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon. That game was awesome. Thing was though we only got it after we got a PS2 and we didn't realise you could use PS1 memory cards with it, so every time I played the game I had to do it from the beginning all over again. I didn't mind though because the game was so much fun I could just play it over and over again. Now I have a really strong feeling of nostalgia whenever I play the game though because I know it and remember it so well.

Lucyfish Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I see Spyro as a near flawless trilogy honestly. Three solid PS1 titles, and each one only gets better and has more content than the last. Year of the Dragon is one of the few games I can definitively give a 10/10 perfect rating. :B Edited September 30, 2015 by Lucyfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutekh_the_Steak Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Lego Star Wars was awesome too, I used to play that all the time with my brother. Spyro 3 is my personal favorite of the series. It's the best one. It incorporates elements from the 1st and 2nd game, and even has a kickin' soundtrack. It was my childhood.I've been trying to get the PS1 emulator I downloaded to work so I can play it, but it just doesn't want to detect the controller I've got which is insanely annoying. :\The game loads correctly and everything, but even when I've got all the buttons mapped to the controller it just doesn't work. I might just get a good PS2 emulator and try see if that works properly. Edited September 30, 2015 by Sutekh_the_Steak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyfish Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Spyro 3 actually has a built in anti-hack software. If you play the game on an emulator the game automatically locks Sparx at his green health level once you get to the third hub world. I haven't found a way around it but someone might have?

I haven't found a way around it but someone might have?Huh, didn't know that. That could be a problem. I guess in any case I could probably just buy the actual disk off of amazon or eBay for a really cheap price and load the game into the emulator directly off the disk. Then I'd still be using an emulator but not have the anti-hack problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senpai-Fish Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Oh geez, where do I even start?
