In some semblance of order:
- Quick Kids for PC: I can't even find this on the internet anywhere but it was basically a glorified Pac Man game. First ever game I can remember getting into at a time when PC's were starting to become more popular. There was also some weird Mario Game where they tried to teach me about history and stuff that I played. Absolutely nothing like the Mario games we all know (and love). My parents upgraded their PC and it game with games like PitFall, Silent Hunter (submarine game), Full Throttle, etc, which I also played. Not sure how an elementary aged kid managed to do this but my friend somehow got his hands on Phantasmagoria so I played a bit of that. No idea how I don't still have nightmares to this day about that game.
- Early STAR WARS games for PC: X-wing, Tie Fighter, X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter, Dark Forces, Rebel Alliance, etc, etc. Spent a fair amount of time playing these games as well. A sign of where games were going. Rebel Alliance was pretty terrible actually now that I recall.
- Warcraft 2 for PC: Simply because it was the first time I could play against someone else via modem, which blew my mind at the time. I became instant best friends with 2 people I would have otherwise never talked to simply because a) they owned a modem, and b) they owned the game.
- Goldeneye, MarioKart and Zelda for N64: All 3 got me into console gaming. Previously had played a bit on SNES like UN Squadron, Contra, Donkey Kong, etc. I still have the SNES with DK and Battletoads (I will never beat the 3rd level where you're riding the hoverbike... hardest game ever)
- CounterStrike 1.3 or something and Tribes 2: Still play Counter Strike to this day and as far as "total minutes played" goes for all of the games I've ever played, Tribes 2 would probably be at the top of the list for me. That beats a somewhat brief (but "dedicated") WoW phase too heheh.
