Title: random video games you played as a child
Post by: hobbit on August 16, 2010, 06:59:19 AM
what were yours? when i was younger i used to play mario is missing for the computer. it was educational game that taught you geography and social studies stuff. it was really random. also, i used to play this side-scrolling game called super bubsy. my grandpa gave it to me because he didn't know anything about video games. it was about some cat living in a cartoon world or something. i don't even remember the point of it.

i also used to play the shining force a lot as a kid. i'd play it for hours a day. it was the first rpg outside of pokemon that i owned and i loved it so much. it's basically sega's answer to fire emblem. so far it's the only strategy game that i've ever played.

what about you guys?

Why did you just quote yourself?

Regardless, my old childhood computer had a bunch of great DOS games - Galactix, Duke Nukem, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, and a bunch of others I can't think of.

Oh, and Commander Keen. If you haven't played Commander Keen, you don't know shit about video games.

I played mostly really mainstream stuff when I was young. You know, Nintendo's main dishes.

There's still one not as well known (but you still all know that game) as the Marios of this world, that I just kept renting and renting again, and that would be

God, I loved that game. girl;[/spoiler]

Oh, and there's also that one Mickey Mouse game for the SNES where Mickey could wear different costumes and he'd have powers according to these costumes. That was pretty cool.

mostly the same games i still play - mario platformers, mega man games, donkey kong country games, mario rpg...i grew up on mostly excellent games with no nostalgia goggles necessary

there were a few, though, that i liked when i was little that i certainly don't know...like Scooby Doo, Pac Man Adventures 2, and Pac-Attack...all on the SNES

oh and two disney snes games that were actually fairly good but i haven't played in a long time (though i still own them)...lion king and toy story.

I had a Genesis and a NES and my favorite games that are random;
Cyborg Justice (Gen)
Flicky (gen)
Magmax (NES) (still one of my favorite games, but it's only like 4 levels long or somethin)
Little Nemo (nes) (still one of my favs)
Anticipation (nes) still great
Spiderman (gen)
Cool Spot (gen)
T&C Surf Design (Nes) coolest skating game for the Nes
Barts Nightmare (gen) (that game is broken I tell you)
and I'll always love Buster Brothers on the arcade.
I also liked Shaq-Fu a lot for some reason.

and then I got a gameboy color, around the same time as the N64 was out
and it was DRAGON WARRIOR MONSTERS ALL DAY! Also Mario Golf.
Oh forgot about computer.
PUTT PUTT! I live and breathe because of the lessons I learned through PUTT PUTT.
And I never played rollercoaster tycoon, my game was SimThemepark.

I used to play this dinosaur game, where you learn about dinosaurs until a giant comet hits you and kills you and there was no way to avoid it. As well as this night racing game. Also I had a bunch of those 250 games one 1 disc, cds and would watch my brother play games like Hugo's Island or something like that.
All those point n click games I loved watching my bro play. Cuz I was too little. And I also played Tribes and that was the first online game I ever saw, and I would stand infront of like a regenerator or teleport and no one could get through and I would just talk shit, as a little kid. It was awesome.

and Geno I literally played Goof Troop last week, because I finally bought a second snes controller and got my friend over and was like, we're playing this.

YES that had to be it! I think it came with my family's pc and I forgot you wore 3d glasses. There was also a doctor one, where you go inside the body 3D but I never liked that one. Tell me you couldn't avoid the meteor that hits.
