Memorable Games From My Childhood

This list consists of games that I remember fondly from when I was a little kid. Basically, games that I played prior to middle school.

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Donkey Kong

1. Donkey Kong

The first game that I ever remember playing, and probably the first game that I ever did play.

Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium

2. Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium

This RPG has been very influential on my taste in RPGs. The mix of sci-fi and fantasy make it obvious that another one of my favorites (from my laters years) is Star Ocean.

Super Mario Bros. 3

3. Super Mario Bros. 3

I have a lot of fantastic memories with this game. I also tortured my brothers with the warp whistle.

Altered Beast

4. Altered Beast

Lots of fond memories playing this with my brother.

Mortal Kombat II

5. Mortal Kombat II

The way that people talk about Street Fighter 2 reminds me of how I feel about this game.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

6. Sonic the Hedgehog 2

I liked a lot of these games (Sonic 1-3 and Sonic & Knuckles), but this one was probably the one I played the most.

Super Mario World

7. Super Mario World

'nuff said.

Pokémon Red/Blue

8. Pokémon Red/Blue

I had Blue, my brother had Red. My oldest brother (I have 2 brothers) tried to get into it, but simply got bored and gave me his Red copy, so I was able to get all 150 Pokemon. I also had Yellow, but by the time I got that, I was sorta bored with the games.

Mega Man X

9. Mega Man X

This is the first Mega Man game I remember playing and enjoying. I did play others, but I don't remember enjoying them very much. I am not sure about back then, but now, I see the original Mega Man series as my brother's games, while Mega Man X was more my Mega Man series.

Hexen

10. Hexen

Quite possibly the first game that me and my brother played together at the same time. Most games we played were 1-2 player. Playing cooperatively with my brothers was awesome.
