Dude too many Games to name.The Zelda games for sure same with all the Super Mario games. F-Zero, Mario Karts and the GT games. One of my favorites on N64 was Conker's Bad Fur Day got to use a 50cal twin machine gun to kill Nazi Teddy Bears  My brother and I always played NFL Blitz(we scored so often that the game froze because of our high scores never finished the 3rd quarter) and NHL Hitz(now a collector item) nothing like 3 on 3 hockey where the goalie can put a skater through the glass and take the puck the length of the rink and score a goal. Best Hockey game was and is Blades of Steel on NES. I stopped playing sports games since they started to make them realistic I dont want realistic I want a fun and simple game. |

Did anyone else have the Atari lynx? It was like a suped up game boy, color screen, bigger display. I had one for many years. That was a fun portable gamer. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Lynx |

ryan_ottI had one next to a GameGear and Nomad. All are battery eating monsters. 6 batteries barely lasted for 4 hours total. I play games since 8 years old, still do today. Not as often I would like though. That is a 31 year long carrier. lol Don't even know where to start, so many great classics and new titles to talk about. On my 8th birthday I got a 15" TV with a NES and Castlevania: Simons Quest. That is how it started for me. Later an Amiga 2000, SNES, MegaDrive, NeoGeo, yes I was one of the lucky only childs to get a NeoGeo. Today I feel so sorry for my Mom though. Most memorable games out of my head are Megaman series NES Punch Out NES Super Mario Brothers NES Track n Field 1 and 2 NES Double Dragon 2 NES Zelda a Link to the past on SNES is IMO probably THE best Zelda out there Super Metroid SNES Super Punch Out SNES E-Swat Megadrive Dick Tracy Megadrive Sonic Megadrive Musha Aleste Megadrive Golden Eye N64 Battlefield 2 PC, best time in my online gaming life. Starcraft 2 PC Skyrim PC Sniper Elite v2 PC Company of Heroes PC Civilization series PC Age of empires series PC Medal of honor series PSX There are so many more.... These days I use my Raspberry Pi build into a Famicom (Japanese NES) with all kinds of games on it from NES, SNES, MegaDrive to NeoGeo and Capcom Play System. If more info and images are requested I am ready to provide. Here a video of my setup in NeoGeo arcade mode. youtu.be/-HJnwTorsY4

omg neo geo! I loved that system! Played bomberman for yeeeeeeears!
Another one was the Atari Jaguar 64 - it was released late 16 bit era, just before 32 bit (playstation) came out. i played the tar out of some DOOM on that one! Was so wild on a projector tv =D
I gotta throw some Sonic Spinball onto this list, another addictive game you just can't play enough of

Gettin near that time of year where i'm stuck in that pickle where i'm done assembling what i have, but i'm waiting for new parts to arrive. What do I do? boot up ye olde ex-box-one. play some skyrim, forza horizons 3, diablo 3. My boys picked out a game for me though back on fathers day. Said they knew i loved it and i missed having my ps2 to play it. Surprisingly its on xb1. Resident Evil 4. I haven't even took it out of the plastic wrap yet, too busy doing outdoor stuff and raisin these girls. Good time to open it this fall-winter-early spring. so many adult hours burned into that game back on ps2 - long before i discovered scooters.
That and the guitar hero franchise.
PS2 was ultimately one of my favorite systems as an adult gamer. grand theft auto 3, max payne, tiger woods 04, nascar thunder 04, medal of honor european assault (buddy of mine and me would splitscreen duel each other while jamming to the division bell album for more countless hours) god i must've had hundreds of discs... wore so many of those out too...

Resident Evil 4 is awesome. It was the first Resident Evil title to have that "over the shoulder" 3rd person view. Great game! So was Resident Evil 5.

Loved both of em! What draws me most to res evil is - its not just a shooter, you got puzzles and stuff you have to manage. Fav weapon, the broken butterfly (magnum revolver)

Arriving to this world in 1990-I remember playing original Nintendo games like duck hunt, the mario series, zelda. Used to have a couple boxes full of games. Super Nintendo brought me playing mortal combat, more mario. Sega intoduced me to sonic, sooo much sonic! N64 goldeneye was awesome-Period. Playstation got me into Crash Bandicoot, the Tony Hawk games, Matt Hoffman games, Driver. PS2- gta 3 was so impressive in comparison to its predecessors. Really enjoyed the Need for Speed games! After that, with XB360 I enjoyed Call of Duty in small doses... That's about it, kind of replaced games with other interests and responsibilities.

I'd love to have an Xbox One or One X. Just don't think it's a good idea. I get addicted to online games too easy, especially with a group of friends on there encouraging me to play every night. Get on to play a few after dinner, then just one more, and one more, and one more, and it's midnight. It's too easy to get lost in that, which means less scooter stuff time.

Yea i hear ya brent. i avoid multiplayer games because i was so deep into world of warcraft for a couple years. I lost a great woman in my life because of that game (we got back together 4-5 years ago and now shes my wife but thats a different story.) So i stick to single player games. I actually prefer it that way now cuz i can go at my own pace and in my own direction. Once in awhile i jump on gta online, but thats cuz my best friend and my teenage boys want me to multiplay with them.
I woke up this morning remembering a couple more odd yet fun games i used to play - toejam and earl: panic on funkatron - and earthworm jim!

Before the "boxes" there was pong, and my favorite, Breakout. My dad let me go in the bar at the hotel he worked at and let me play during the day when the bar was not open.
I got into all of the early arcade games, my favorites were excitabike, and spyhunter.
I almost forgot the very early breakout style game called Circus, anyone remember that one?
