duke nukem what a game
favourite childhood video game!
- Thread starter squarehead94
- Start date
Loved Streets of Rage, also Golden Axe, Altered Beast and Sunset Riders (never had this so was always whenever I saw it on Arcade, along with Knights of the Round.)
Much later than those it was Goldeneye on N64, so much time put into that game.

Impressive.
I managed to get a full team of level 100 pokemon, without rare candies, in a week. Charizard, Pidgeot, Alakazam, Onix, Sandslash and Marowak.
I also spent like 2 days trying to catch that dead marowak in lavendar town.
How far away did you live?!

Didn't start playing games until I was about 19 when I bought a snes so not really childhood memories!
Notable memories would be:
(all snes)
Starwing
SSFII Turbo
Super Metroid
Zelda: Links Awakening (or was it A Link to The Past? Can't remember!)
Super Mario Kart
Secret of Mana

Pitfall on the Atari 2600, and Star Raiders on the Atari 600 computer were 2 of my earliest favourites, then any number from the Spectrum, days, Dizzy, Turrican, Cybernoid all stand out as highlights.
I also owned one of these... Grandstands Firefox

I can't decide between Driver 1 (on PC), Red Alert (on PC) alladin (on I have no idea), and later in my teenage childhood, San Andreas (on PS2). Good times were had.
Super Mario Land (Game Boy). Was the only cartridge I owned for years, and I was never allowed a home console so this was my main gaming experience, and my first Mario experience.
I've since found out that SML is actually a really weird Mario game that doesn't stick to the series conventions. Exploding koopa shells is just one example. It also has odd movement physics. But for me, it was Mario. All the others are weird!

I have to say this. I played the first two through for hours and hours! I still have my copies and the megadrive. Its not the same now I'm an adult alas. Such good memories though!
It's the kind of game I play now when sitting on a train or having lunch in a cafe and think to myself "Why the hell would any sane human eat an apple they just found under a bin?!?!"
