What was your childhood game?

I could name so many games... However, the games I treasured and still have memories today are Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (Genesis), Pokemon Stadium(Nintendo 64), Pokemon Green with original 1st generation sprites (it was on a bootleg game cartridge that contained over 20 games), Sonic Adventure 2 on the Dreamcast/Gamecube.

Oh, and I played ToonTown and Runescape on the PC.
 
my top 10 list of games that influenced my childhood.

1. Yoshis island
2. pokemon red
3. super mario 64
4. ocarina of time
5. final fantasy 7
6. super mario world
7. doom
8. sonic adventure
9. lunar silver star story
10. super mario land

honorable mentions: pacman world, animal crossing (the gamecube one), zelda 2, super mario bros 3, pikmin
 
Animal Crossing: Population Growing is the game I spent a lot of time on. Among others, of course, like Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Mario Kart Double Dash, Melee, and Magical Melody.

Still play all of those to this day, haha.
 
Since I'm quite young, my father introduced me to the Mother/Earthbound Series. I did fall in love with the Megaman Zero series as a child as well.
 
Super Mario Bros 3! I've gone through the game hundreds of times. :P I have pretty much the whole game memorized. Have completing it down to 15 minutes, lol. Still play it all the time.

edit: Pinball for Windows XP, also. Wish I knew what my old high score was... I just remember all my other 12 year old friends amazed at how high of a score I had haha.

Harvest Moon SNES is my childhood sweetheart
I had a level of immersion with that game that I can't seem to get anymore.
I've replayed it recently and it has kept its charm after all these years. ITS SOO GOOD

The majority of this thread makes me feel old. XD

Mine would be:

-Duck Hunt (NES)
I'm not a fan of hunting, but I loved this game and I'd totally play this game again if we ever got the proper cables to hook up our old NES to the TVs.

-Super Mario Kart (SNES)
I actually did try playing this again...and now I wouldn't. It's far too easy when up against the AI (yes, even on Rainbow Road), and Mario Kart is one of those games which is best enjoyed with more players, anyway.

-Pokemon (R/B/Y or Silver)
I can play any of those games again, since my cartridges surprisingly still work (though the internal battery ran dry on Silver and thus, it's always daytime) and so does my Gameboy. They have nostalgia value, but due to the fixed glitches in the remakes, I'd probably play the remakes instead.

-Sonic the Hedgehog (Game Gear)
I wasn't too fond of the version for the Sega Genesis, but I loved the one on the Game Gear. It was great for power outages, because it could be beaten in an hour...which was about how long the absurd amount of batteries it took to power the dang handheld lasted.
Unfortunately, my Game Gear stopped working about a year ago, but I'd still be playing it if the Game Gear still worked.

-Magic the Gathering (TCG) and YuGiOh (TCG)
Stopped playing both for the same reason: money.
I'd go back to MtG if I could afford it, but YGO has just gotten ridiculous last I saw it. Since it's the result of the TV show, the longer the animators draw those out and put out new seasons/sagas, the more OP the cards get.
 
I don't think I really had one I just played a lot of games

Ohhhh yes! I loved Duck Hunt so much. My NES doesn't work anymore :c I just played it too much. I want to go about fixing it mostly so I can play Duck Hunt, Rad Racer, and Excite Bike :cool:
