Favourite childhood games

[Dazb86]

Nostalgia thread pretty much. Post your favourite games from when you were growing up.

Wonderboy 3 - the dragons trap. This game was awesome. Great soundtrack and probably the best credits at the end of a game ever. Graphics were top of the line for master system.

Jill of the Jungle:

Bubsy:

Nostalgia'd hard.

would be going back to the nintendo 64 days.

super smash brothers, such a top game

 

[Little Jerry]

Gaming only goes back to the PS1 days for me. Back then I would play nothing but the Crash Bandicoot games.

That is IMO the best game of all time.

My earliest memories of games were games like: putt putt, Freddie the fish, pajama Sam these sort of games.

Don't know if anyone has heard of these games before or has played them before but if you have which one of the games I've mentioned was your favorite.

PS... what is the cut off age for "childhood"... some would argue we never grow up

 

[Glenno23]

I honestly feel bad for kids who are too young to have played this on a N64 (although they are still available) in its prime

4 controllers, mates from school, pizza, soft drink. All nighter

One of the best game nights i have ever had involved these items and these 3 games:

Shane Warne Cricket 99 (PS1)
Goldeneye (N64)
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 (PS1)

Rotate every hour or so

WIN

I grew up with Sega/playstation only played Snes on emulators. They had some great games.

Favourite on the megadrive would have to be....

Shining force 2.

Favourite on the playstation would be the crash bandicoot games.

Monkey Island (All of it) and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

I love LucasArts Adventure games. Shame they don't make them anymore.

 

[Kerrby]

FWIW there's a new fan-made Indiana Jones game in the Fate of Atlantis adventure series.

Keystone Capers

s**t forgot about this one...awesome game.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Commodore 64
- Impossible Mission
- Mega Giana Sisters (Super Mario rip off)

Impossible Mission... classic

Mega Giana Sisters was the first game I have a memory of playing... although I think it was packaged as 'Toy Bizarre' (at least in the UK).

The other C64 game that I rate is Ghostbusters, would probably sit in my top 5 all time.

Edit... I forgot about 'Monty On The Run'... addictive.

 

[kaysee]

Ahh I also forgot about:

C64
- Bubble Bobble... fricking classic (hours wasted after school playing that).
- Test Drive.

Impossible Mission... had probably one of the most memorable openings ever IMO. "Stay a while. Stay foreverrrrrrr!!!!"

Agreed.
Add Transformers and Spy Hunter to C64 games as well.
And Frogger was also classic.

Sadly the iphone version of Boulderdash suffers from the control settings.

However, the first video game I ever had was a Hanimex Pong( the Green version).
