What games did you play growing up?

[Kaunisto]

One Must Fall: 2097 and MoO2 are still among my favorites of their genres.


My first game of any kind was Game & Watch Rain Shower.
Also had a similar LCD game Kitchen Panic by Gakken.

With mates and relatives I encountered C64, MSX, Spectrum... don't remember much about exact games.
My cousins got a Philips Videopac (aka Odyssey 2). I used to stay with them summers for a week or two (and once borrowed it for a while) so that was some of my major early gaming.
Those games included: Air-Sea War / Battle, Gunfighter, Flipper Game, Skiing, Munchkin

Few times I rented Nes, with SMB2, Megaman 1 and Punch-Out.

My true gaming era began when I got Master System at 12.
Build in were Hang-On and Safari Hunt (plus Snail Maze) and with the console I got The Ninja.
Later games were Fantasy Zone, Golden Axe, Slap Shot, Tennis Ace, Phantasy Star, Sonic 1, Lemmings, Wonder Boy III, Double Dragon, Rampage, Afterburner, Ghouls'n'Ghosts, Super Kick OFf, Populous, Dragon Crystal, Great Golf, Asterix and Trap Shooting/Marksman Shooting/Safari Hunt (and years later My Hero).

At 16 began my PC era. First games included Star Control 1, Wing Commander 1, Silent Service 2, Super Off Road, Dune 2, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Civilization 1.
Though previously at school I'd played some Last Crusade and Larry 1, among others. Particularly we played Scorched Earth.
