Megaman Battle Network 3. I spent so much time trying to 100% the game. I probably spent upwards of 250 hours trying to do that. It never happened, but I did get close. I wasted so much time...but I did become fairly good at the game. I learned the boss' attack patterns and weaknesses. I learned how to counter well. I poured my very soul into that game, and reaped rewards related to the game because of it.

Three relatively unheard of games... Tombi, Tombi 2 and Adventures of Alundra, were my childhood games.
Tombi was known as Tomba in America.

Any of the Humongous Entertainment games
Animal Crossing! Animal Crossing was the reason why I bought my first gaming console ever, a gamecube. Video games were extremely intimidating to me when I was a little girl, so I'm grateful to AC for helping me give them a try.
Purchasing Animal Crossing led to a snowballing effect of more purchases. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (something my brother bought which eventually led to my Sonic obsession), Pokemon, and Super Smash Bros Melee. The only reason I got Melee at all was because pikachu was on the cover. It was so much more than just a pikachu omg

I've always learned towards Nintendo games, but as a kid the original Spyro trilogy were my favorites. Still love those games.

Oh jeez. Let's see..
Pokemon Blue I put an insane amount of time into as a kid. I'd play it in the morning before school and pick it up right as I got home and on the weekends. My friend had the Red version and I managed to get a link cable, and it pretty much was the best game ever back then. Then when I finally started getting bored of it Gold and Silver came out and it was all over again.
Before Pokemon uh.. I had a SNES and I played a whole lot of Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, SMB3, and I'd play Mortal Kombat with my dad sometimes. Then when the 64 rolled around I got really into Banjo-Kazooie and it was the second game I had ever 100% completed(my first being Super Mario World). I also played quite a bit of Mega Man games which I think were on the original playstation but I can't remember. And in the PC area I was very heavily into the first Oddworld game, The Sims, and Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Wow I was reminded that I also LOVED my bro's Sega Genesis as a kid, played my first and favorite sonic which I got into as well as earthworm jim if anyone remembers that awesome oddity with those cows 8'D I also played some various other Sega Games that was really my first played Console as I didn't have my own :3 I also remember the first friggin' commercial for the first sims I was so revved so another game I enjoyed indefinitely!
And to top it off at 12-13 I had my GBC and GBA and I think my favorite titles were usually LoZ mostly the two Oracle games : ) That and duh, Pokemon hehe. I played my way to the recent ones too ^^;
Forgot to add GBC I played my first handheld HM first was on my N64 not sure which came first.

Yoshi's Island GBA
Pokemon Sapphire
Pokemon FireRed
Yoshi's island was a game I enjoyed back in my childhood when I got my GBA SP. My parents got me this cartridge with almost 100 games and Yoshi's Island was one of them. Since I was young, the usual Super Mario Bros platformers were kinda difficult for me because you will die when you come in contact with an enemey whereas in Yoshi's Island, Baby Mario will just bubble up and you need to get him. This was kinda easier for me. I did not finish it back then but did finish it recently on an emulator abusing the save state feature. It was still fun though.
Back then, I had a friend who had Pokemon Ruby and was really addicted to it. I then decided to give Pokemon Sapphire a try. I really enjoyed it and despite being stuck multiple times, I still manage to enjoy it. Being my first Pokemon game, I did not know a lot about Pokemon so I would constantly explore and level up my Pokemon to see if they would evolve into something cool. One of the memories I would really want to relive is getting lost and not knowing what to do. The newer games don't really allow you to get lost, they always guide you through the cities to the point that you know exactly what to do. I know, they're doing it for younger players, but I still miss getting lost. Because of all the memories with this game, I was extremely excited when Pokemon ORAS was announced, I can finally relive my childhood in 3D. Playing through it brought back a lot of memories.
I once saw someone playing Pokemon FireRed in school back then and took interest because it was like Red Version but with at that time, modern graphics. I decided to try it. I fully enjoyed it, it was somewhat difficult as I chose Charmander as my starter. I had an automatic disadvantage for the first 2 gyms. With some help from my cousin, I managed to get through some obstacles I encountered. Like with Misty, my cousin caught me a Gloom so that I would have an easier time to beat Misty. Another thing I really enjoyed is the amount of post-game, namely the Sevii islands. Despite finishing the main story, there is still so much to do. I wish they would improve on the post-games again since the recent ones were quite disappointing, sure the Delta Episode was great, but then after that, there was not much to do.

For me, there was a lot of 90s-2ks staples: Pok?mon, Mario, Sonic, Zelda (Windwaker is my #1 favorite)... I didn't join the Sony crew until Final Fantasy X and Soul Calibur II. I've always played a lot of world-building games like The Sims or Dwarf Fortress.
But if I had to pick one game that made me who I am today, it'd be King's Quest VI. (1993, Sierra Entertainment.)

i actually played quite a few barbie games on PC as well as the first Sims game
Barbie PC games - Uh, no explanation for this. I liked Barbie. Would not play today, but I died watching Omgarrett suffer through play Secret Agent Barbie, which was my all-time favorite game as a wee child.
Nancy Drew games - Loved them since I was probably ten or so, and I still play them.
The next one comes out fairly soon, although I will wait for a 50% off sale as usual.
Pokemon Sapphire, although I began with Blue/Yellow and Gold. Sapphire was everything to me, and third gen became my favorite Pokemon games. Would I replay Sapphire today? I already have with Alpha Sapphire, which is my favorite Pokemon game to date. It's perfect aside from the lack of a Battle Frontier.

Spyro 2 & 3, Crash Bandicoot 2 & 3, Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2. There were other games as well, but I absolutely loved those platformers as a kid. I still go back and play all of them now and then. I also played Sonic CD, but the disc refuses to work on newer computers. I even tried using a virtual server running Windows 95, but the game was not fooled. Just noticed Steam has it for 5 bucks... hmmm...
I recall a very foggy and vague memory of Harvest moon for the Nintendo 64, it was my first game and easily my favourite, I got really into it and played for hours on end since I was rather sickly as a little kid and I had more time on my hands since my friends couldn't visit me often due to me being sick almost year round;; so the game kind of helped me through hard times and gave me something fun and happy to look forward to. <3
