What games did you play when you were a kid?

First game ever was MDK. Then in no particular order:
a NFS game, fifa world cup '02, Fatal Fury 2, Counter Strike, Battle City, Galaga, Mortal Kombat 4. After that mostly flash games on pc, then in '07 bought a cool pc and played some cool AAA games like Prince of Persia trilogy, and on and on. That's my gaming history in a nutshell.

• Mario Kart 64
• Perfect Dark
• Mario Party 3
• 007 Goldeneye
• GTA Vice City
• Counter-Strike 1.6
• Contra
• Sonic
• Need for Speed Underground 2
• Sims
• Sims 2
• Super Smash Brothers 64
• Starfox 64
• Zelda Majora's Mask
• Pokemon Stadium

The N64 is the only console I have ever had, and still works.

Pong
Lots of Pong

Mostly strategy games, like Age of Mythology, Settlers, and Age of Empires, but I remember playing a racing game with motorcycles and an old game with Lara Croft too.

A blanket, those down and my fantasy : The BEST game ever and the happiest kid on Earth

Time Commando.

Little Fighters 2 with my cousins, GTA Vice City, NFS Hot Pursuit and Underground 2, Duke Nukem Manhattan, DotA, Counter-Strike, Half-Life.

NFS games (Porsche, Underground and Underground 2)
Carmageddon 2
GTA Vice City and San Andreas

Yeah, not many. I also sucked at early console games, because at that time I didn't know how to use the controller, so instead I watched how my brother and dad played these games. I had Sega Genesis and Dembi (Russian NES that looks like Famicom).

An old Rayman, don't remember which
Crash Bandicoot Warped on PS1
Spy Fox (mainly Dry Cereal and Cheese Chase)
Freddi Fish (mostly the Kelp Seeds and the Conch Shell ones)
Spyro (PS1)
Recently spent hours looking for this and finally found it: Big Fish's Wonderland was also something I loved
Putt Putt (the time travel one, I played this in Dutch so idk the title)
Disney Interactive Games like Mulan, there was an old Disney art studio thing that I'm still looking for out of nostalgia, ...
Pokémon and Warioland 3 on Gameboy (idk if that counts but I'm counting it anyway bc it was a big part of my childhood)

I only had access to a computer once a week and there was no gameshop in town so all I had was what my parents got me. Still wanna replay some of them out of nostalgia though, even own the Spy Fox games on Steam and rebought Crash Bandicoot after it broke.

5 years on this

Bump

A shit ton.
From Sega Genesis, to PC, to Gameboy Color, to PC, to PSP, to PC.
Would take forever to name everything.

I smell zombieeeees

If you reaaaally wanna necro this thread...
I didn't play games as a kid. Unless playing outside counts.

Lol, just realized the OP was 3 years ago

When I was a kid, I absolutely adore educational games like Carmen Sandiego's ThinkQuick Challenge, Math Blaster, Jump Start's games... plus a bunch of stuff from Humongous like Backyard Soccer and Baseball; some casual puzzle games (loved Bookworm and Zuma) and of course, Lego Racers. Aladdin and Pokemon on the Gameboy as well.

Played the iconic adventure game, Monkey Island, too - took the brain power of both my brother and I to solve all the puzzles (no guides involved) and complete all the games in the series :)

Dove into "proper" games in my pre-teens back when RTS games were in their heyday :) So, this means a large bunch of RTS games like C&C, Red Alert, AoE (all three games!), AoM, Cossacks, Total War (Total War: Shogun 2 specifically), Stronghold, RoN (Rise of Nations), etc etc; strategy/RPGs like the older Fallouts, Fallout Tactics, Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood + other types of strategy games/TDs like Plants vs Zombies.

And not to forget, basically almost all of Blizzards' most popular classics, Diablo 1 and 2 (3 came later but I played that too :P), Starcraft, and Warcraft; as well as SimCity 3000+Tropico.

Note that as a kid, I don't actually get to choose what games I get to play. I just played whatever my dad bought for himself or that he thinks we would enjoy playing :)

Spy vs Spy
Boulder Dash
Paperboy
Spy hunter
Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken
Lode Runner
King's Quest, Space Quest, Police quest, Larry
Defender of the Crown
Out Run
Jumoman
Digger

And many, many, many more...

Super Mario Bros
Duck Hunt
Q*Bert
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
Top Gun

Tons more beyond this list, but this was my OG collection from when I first started gaming.

As a kid? It was ZX-Spectrum ones.

FIFA and PES (nowadays i would never Play it)

and probably more game's that I can't remember right now.
Man I have to say Games used to be better...

Mario 64 (mastapiece, greatest game OST of all time, can still place every single track to their respective level), Pokemon (all of the GBA and DS ones, and Stadium) and Animal Crossing were my big 3. But I've been writing a list recently of all the old games I grew up playing that I loved and have forgotten about (because at random times in my life I'll suddenly "vaguely" remember bits about them but never enough to recall their names, and it bugs the shit out of me, so I've been researching to list them all permanently). The games are super varied because I had two brothers over a decade older than me, and one younger sister.

Scaler - History has forgotten this game but I won't. Something about it's world, enemy and gameplay variation, and designs was so great. And it had a story too!!
Tak Power of Juju
Mech Platoon GBA - I loved this odd little game. Something about the designs was so satisfying/cool and memorable. Of the units, resources and buildings.
Rugrats: I Gotta Go Party - THE MINI GAMES. Had so much fun with this with my sister. Could be the one you can't remember.
Rugrats: In Paris The Movie - Man rugrats games were unironically so good... We gotta go back to the days where they made all these games for tv shows.
SpongeBob SquarePants: SuperSponge - This game didn't play around. Fuck this tree
Buzz! quiz game - I beat ALL the adults.
Eyetoy 3 - This game got hate, probably fair hate, but little me enjoyed it.
Sega Superstars - #bringbacksegasuperstars
Lego Star Wars The Original Trilogy - CLASSIC
MySims Kingdom - Such a cute/pure game. #bringbackmysims #mysimskingdom2
Wii Play & Wii Sports - Wii Sports doesn't need any introduction, but Wii Play was slept on hard. That tank game was the shit.
Crash Bandicoot Crash of Titans - Best crash game?
Spyro A New Beginning - There's too many and I can't tell what from what, but it was either this or Eternal Night I think.
Shadow The Hedgehog - Apparently this game was bad? I remember it being kickass.
Goldneye n64 - CLASSIC. I remember versus mode being so kickass. Would load a room full of c4 and wait for my sister to walk into it.
Spy vs Spy, PooYan, Circus Charlie, Time Pilot, Road Fighter and others in this weird arcade 100-in-1 type bootleg game for the NES that I've never been able to identify. Used to play it/them all the time round my nans, she even had those dumb pistol things.
Halo 3 & Assassin's Creed 2 - More in my teen years but gotta include these.
Mario Party 2 N64 - The shit. Especially the flame jump rope minigame. The greatest Mario Party game.
Nintendogs - If only walking dogs is like it was in this game.
GTA: San Andreas - Classic mastapiece. I remember being a kid and thinking the best way to get a ton of money was to keep running civilians either until one of them dropped the double stacks of cash.
New Super Mario Bros Wii - Truly one of the best co-op games of all time. Got into so many fights with my sister and friends since it was so easy/tempting to troll. (pick people up, or swallow them with yoshi, and chuck them off the side...)
PES 2009/2010
The Simpsons: Hit & Run - #makesimpsonshitandrun2
Bin Weevils - Listen, I was a kid...
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory - Such a wasted, great franchise
Rayman PS1/GBA - No matter what I did or hard I tried, I could never ever get through this level with the shitty music notes
Dynasty Warriors 2, 3 & 4 - I loved this franchise so much. Prob spent hundreds of hours on it, just satisfyingly killing enemy after enemy. Really gotta revisit it one day.

I got to play a whole lot of games growing up but one weird thing is that I never came across/got introduced to a Zelda game, which makes me sad.

Civilization 1, 2, 3, 4 (some earlier than others, of course)
