Commodore 64 introduced me to gaming, Aztec Challenge and Pitfall were my favorites on that thing. Then of course came the NES, and it just kept getting better from then on.

I remember playing GYruss at the local drug store as a lad. They placed the games at the exit of the store and my mom gave me a quarter. The music still holds up today. I was pulled in. I never could find it at Toys R Us when I got my 5300 :-(

I have several favorite games all for various reasons.

Breath of Fire 3/4 some of my first rpgs and alot of fun not to mention i still remember that late night i finally beat the guy in the volcano as a kid. I loved 3 so much i imported a copy from Europe for my psp still wanting 4 to be released for it as well.

Xenosaga games cause of the epic story i remember renting 1 before i bought it at least 5 times ina row

Tales of Eternia/destiny 2 i remember how this game blew my world with it;s combat system and story( it was my first tales game/action rpg) I now also own it on my psp from an import copy.

legend of Zelda OoT i still remember that commercial in the theater and thinking i have to see this movie only to find out it was a game. I remember so many things from that one like how frightening the forest temple was at first or how before i owned a copy i could never figure out where the kokiri sword was. Or the craziest bit how i succumbed to getting a players guide to find the forest temple in the lost woods. I was just one systematic search away but i gave up and still feel stupid to this day.

last is star ocean 3 i still remember all the time i spent on that and the countless hours i played it.

Early 80s, bowling allies, Ghosts 'n' Goblins, and scrounging for quarters... That must be a common theme among older gamers.

Hey, does anyone remember how on some games you could grab a quarter, moonwalk on the carpet, and rub the quarter on the metal trimming of the coin slot to get free credits?

If you watched the old episodes of X-Play you would what his favorite game was. It's the reason he has the vein popping out of his head.

Games that introduced me to gaming were probably Super Mario Bros. 3, Duck Hunt, Maniac Mansion, and Zoda's Revenge for the NES. Never did get the Super Nintendo so I just stuck with my cousin's hand-me-down NES until the N64 came out.

As for my favorite game of all time that would be the original Perfect Dark (not the crappy prequel on the 360)

well I guess when it comes down to it, the game that got me "hooked" would be Legend of Zelda OoT, I saw the commercial on TV and worked all summer to get enough money for the 64, and then for LoZ when it came out, I've beaten that game over a dozen times, and would do it again too, after that the craze just continued

LOL! Awesome Soapbox, I decided to look up some of the games on Youtube. Wow, I forgot almost all the games I played in the late 70's early 80's.

1. Canyon Bomber
2. Superman
3. Karateka *in the brand new computer lab at school*
4. Journey Escape

Thanks again for a stroll down that memory lane when it was ok for a 12 year old to play against a grown man at the arcade without being offered some candy that was in the first seat of his van...good ole dayz!!!
