Tetris is and always will be my favorite game of all time. I can't even begin to tell you how many hours I've spent playing that game in various different incarnations. Thousands, at the very least. It might seem simplistic to many of you, but the challenge of beating that elusive high score always brings me back for more. (That doesn't happen too often anymore, however; my best scores are now in the world-class range, according to Twin Galaxies. I guess that 15 years of practice count for something!)
Other games that have significantly influence me include the original Final Fantasy, the classic Mega Man games for NES and the "X" series for SNES, Goldeneye 007 for N64, and the recent Civilization games (3 and 4) for the PC. My Civ connections have led to actual real-life jobs working for Firaxis Games, and have had a major influence on my life.
Looking at what some others have posted, it seems as though most of you are a bit younger than I am... not that there's anything wrong with that!
