One of the first scroll'em ups http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI_anMcOHGo , TRON, Sea Battle and Empire Strikes Back still also stick in my mind. From there, C64 (Law of the West, Test Drive, Last Ninja, Defender of the Crown, Boulderdash, Wizard of Wor) and Amiga (Monkey Island, Cannon Fodder, Syndicate, Worms, Lotus Esprit, Moonstone, Beneath a Steel Sky, Lost Dutchmans, North and South, Rambo III) some brilliant games on both of those systems and still ones that I come back and play to this day. They also taught me a lot, including programming through basic - I wrote my first text adventure in Amiga basic. If you havent played the games that I mentioned I highly recommend giving them a go!! I skipped NES and SNES (although played at friends places - Super Mario World 3 was amazing) , had a sega master system but N64 was my first Nintendo experience - like OP I worked the holidays when I was 11 or 12 and bought a NEC 31cm TV and a N64 with Mario64. Goldeneye and Mario Kart will forever hold places in my heart like many others.

I'm going to say Spectrum, which I'm sure I played, but I can't remember any games :S The first console my parents bought me was the Sega Master System so the first game I played there was the built in Alexx Kidd :).

It was so long ago I can't remember many games that I used to play on it. WOW, that is exactly what i was going to put LOL, my parent used to have one they used to do their accounts on and they bought me some games to play on it. My favourite games i used to play back in the day that i remember was Commander Keen and Wolfenstein 3D, i recently joined Steam and bought these two games to relive my youth, great times.

I remember lots of the great games I had and me and my mate even used to write games using the BASIC code, we had a great time with it. We also had the earlier VIC 20 made by Commodore :-) For anyone interested there is a good forum here Edited by buddy1983, Jul 26 2013, 04:40 AM.

My friend also introduced me to quality music. Without him i wouldnt have discovered killer bands like guns n roses, nirvana, ... He brought me interest in playing guitar. at one point I wanted to contact him to start jamming the guitar. But faith caught up on me. In 2007 he sadly passed away. i was devastated. i feel his presence when i play those games. those 10 games shaped my vision on gaming.

Played Mario (to hard) then I played Zelda (cleared) and continues my atventure on the NES for quite a while When I had my own room and owned an N64, I raged and broke a controller and busted out a corner of my N64 ... I still use that one to play =p
