Mainly with Animal Crossing for me. I guess it's why i can't bear to sell either game. I remember those cold winter days, sitting in my robe after just waking up playing Animal Crossing with friends and running in the snow (in the game, of course).
 
probly pokemon Ruby and Saphire,they got me into pokemon I accually think if I do start doing lps (as I plan to)Ill do Ruby and Saphire sometime:)
 
Probably either Mario Kart 64 or Counter-Strike.

Mario Kart 64 was one of the first video games I really got into and I remember playing it for longgg hours with my brother.

Counter-Strike was amazing for the community factor, it was the first game that I ever got into an online community and made a ton of friends that I still talk to 8-9 years later. That and the fact that I still believe Counter-Strike is the best FPS to date.
 
Best Memories Playing A Video Game:
This means tell about a memory of a game. Not just name a game. That doesn't make sense in response.
 
When my sister had her TV taken from her room and she moved her N64 into my room to play it. Watching her beat Rayman 2 made her seem to have godlike amounts of skill in my eyes.

Also, the day when my old Mario Bros. 2 NES cartridge glitched up and gave me infinite lives and started me out in world 4-1, something I could never have done the normal way at such a young age of my life.
 
probably Wind Waker when I was trying to get 100%, traveling all around the sea with the air conditioner on. It just felt really relaxing and fun.
 
Super Mario Sunshine for me. Sitting in my room, the T.V. in front of my bunk bed, i would sleep on the top and play it. It felt soothing as i was comfy in my bed : D
 
ACCF & Kirby Air Ride.

I remember playing with Lexi. When I heard her voice I was like "YAY WII SPEAK WORKS." :]

Kirby Air Ride, I used to play with my younger sister & older brother. Omg, it was so much fun. :-D
 
When I was playing Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. My sister and I were doing the 400 meter dash or whatever and i got too excited and the nunchuk wire slapped me in the eye when my arm came up. It hurt. D':

Edit: I know these aren't good memories, but they're the only ones I remember. Also, when playing Wii Sports Resort with my little sister, she gets mad when I beat her at sword fighting and when I get a point she hits me. Lol.
 
Halo 2, big time. My friend and I once had a circle of online friends numbering about a dozen people that we would play with constantly. Best time I've ever had playing Halo or any other game. We wouldn't just play matchmaking, we'd mostly play custom games, especially ones that relied heavily on honor rules. Zombies and a Halo-conception of the party game "Killer" come to mind. As well as Oddball 500. I doubt I will ever have that much fun again.
 
When I finally got into the Great Deku Tree in OoT.

Also, how I got my N64 is a good memory. I went to my sister's house, and her boyfriend gave me and my bro a PS1 and an N64, along with OoT and Goldeneye.
 
Playing Super Smash Bros. Melee, Soul Caliber 2, And Resident Evil 4 on Stef's Gamecube (back in the days before the Wii). We always played the first two games in a big crowd of friends and I'll never forget it. ^^ I used to run over to her house like every day when her sister got RE4. Good times.

Also playing Kingdom Hearts 2/Brawl with my sister. =] We played it a lot during christmas break, and I don't get to see her a lot since she lives across the country.
 
Probably beating Spyro the Dragon 2: Gateway to Glimmer (Ripto's Rage in America) for the first time. :D
 
I had a party over my house and we did game tournaments and the winner won some sweets/candy.
 
There are so many memories that I have playing videogames that it's almost impossible to count.

One of the things that I can get off my head was how shocked I was that <div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: Don't click unless you've beat the Tower of the gods in LoZ: TWW!</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">Hyrule was below the Ocean</div> in LoZ: The Wind Waker.
 
My first time playing through chrono trigger, just when you get to 12000 bc( I think that is the right number anyway), it is an ice age looks desolate, but there is a strange structure, you go in get teleported to a beautiful kingdom above the clouds... It was just astounding to me, and really kicked my mind in to gear figuring out what was going on.

There were good memories with animal crossing too, just mainly with the original for me. The characters in it are always so nice.

Then there are late night smash bros with friends, or any number of multiplayer games, we tended to trade off what we were playing.

I realize that for me most memorable games are the ones that let you create your own backstories, or imagine what is actually happening beyond what you see. Like in pokemon, it is just creatures going back and forth with attacks, but when you imagine each with its own personality, and how you act with them normally it takes on a new dimension. This can happen in AC, it did happen in Chrono trigger toa lesser degree (there are areas that choice effects and can alter what you see in the story.).
 
Actually I had a lot of game memories. ACCF, Maniac Mansion, all games with N64, most games on NES, and Sonic: Adventure 2. Can't explain the good memory, I guess it's just that I had fun playing them.
