On the whole I've always been a handheld/portable nut, not so much the games themselves but the fact that you can take them with you. When the first iteration Gameboy arrived I was simply astounded by it. I'm not even sure I played it that much to be honest, it was more about the technical feat. The current/next-gen home consoles don't do it for me, for some reason. 
This was simply what dreams were made of in my 12-year old brain when I first read about it in all those games magazines.
Also before the indie scene got "serious" with all the new download services for various current gen consoles, handhelds seemed to be where 2D was at. And a great 2D platformer always (*always*) beats a 3D one. I disliked Mario 64 from day one... The concept just didn't work in 3D. Well, moving the sprites to 3D is ok, just keep the gameplay 2D.
While I was positively surprised how Metroid Prime felt Metroid-ish, I still favour the 2D iterations... I guess I'm old.
One could complain about the re-releases and re-makes until the throat goes sore but they sell... And when the remake surpasses the re-boot/new version I'd say we have a problem...
Every new game seems to have a bigger budget than the previous one. They *have* to sell otherwise it could be the curtains for the developer. Still, some of the less technically advanced ones seem to do well, while others do not (despite being awesome - in this gooey case, piracy was probably the culprit, however, not the game itself... )
All in all I'm both saddened and hopeful.
Saddened that the next iteration of games have a bit of polish compared to previous iterations but are essentially the same as before, yet they cost humongous amounts to produce (the irony being that I could probably play 2D games all day, and for many of them you could definitely say the same thing when it comes to how they evolved...).
Saddened that many games are about "instant gratification" and all about being "casual" ("casuality" can be a good thing in some cases, though). But I guess that's a sign of the times since most people I meet nowadays can't even name an interest/hobby they have (and no, "going to the movies" and "shopping" does not count. Rather, it proves my point of everything being shallow nowadays in order to receive that instant gratification that lasts 5 minutes, but I digress...).
Hopeful, since the small developers now get a chance to reach a larger audience.
Crap, I didn't mean to rant... Sorry about that.

I am old, so didn't have videogames when I was a kid. I remember a mate got a console, it played Pong.
However, once earning my own money and living in my own place, I bought a ZX81, then a 48k Spectrum...

But the game that held me the most was Elite
The other pastime was BBS using the VTX5000 modem on the speccy, well it was until the phone bill arrived.
As a youth, I would read books, y'know those paper things filled with words.

I think we still miss what was undoubtedly the most awesome machine at its time: Neo Geo. It still has quite a following.
Being able to have what was *the* arcade machine in your house, only console-sized, was every boy's (er...geek's?) dream. Problem was of course that you'd have to sell both of your kidneys just to pay for *one* game cartridge as they were, IIRC, essentially the arcade ROM board in a plastic casing. About $150/game (back then, that is!) and the machine itself was... someone correct me if I'm wrong but $500-600 feels about right (again, back then. Not adjusted to current money value). Then you wanted those two of those luscious arcade sticks to go with it...
Those games had some of the best artwork known to man.
A couple of years back I actually got myself the first CD version of the console, cheap in Akihabara. Problem is the loading times are terrible, but I just wanted to live out my boyish dream - about 20 years late but anyway... On the other hand, the CD versions of some of the classics, like Metal Slug 2, do not cost a fortune like the cartridge version does still. There was a newer iteration, the CDZ, which had a 2X CD drive and more cache but the original was dirt cheap so...
It doesn't feel quite right playing with pads, however...
So, Pulstar (video) Samurai Spirits (lots and lots of figthing games on the Neo Geo) Metal Slug series (video)
And lots of other stuff.
If you haven't tried, the least can you is to pick up an emulator and re-live gaming's golden age.

I was probably in 3rd grade at the time when I played that game. It would always creep me out every time he would come running across the screen at me.

Karateka (never finished it) :P
F-19 Stealth Fighter (Hours upon hours upon hours of gameplay for me )
Pool of Radiance This game is what got me into AD&D up to this day in the reborn 4E.
Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday I even bought the RPG table game with grids and special booklets :-O
Floor 13 This game could be remade today as a simple flash game, but I found being able to infiltrate the eco guerrillas and kill their leader from the inside interesting
LHX Loved it :P
Red Baron I got into soldering and repairing joysticks with this one :)
Space Quest III I miss parser games :(
Quest for Glory I <sniff> :*(
Conquest of Camelot Loved it!
Wing Commander The secret special mission packs where the thing that made me realize I loved the whole background/universe of Wing Commander.
Those are the ones that come to my head right away
I spent (wasted? :P ) a good chunk of my life playing those. I rarely if at all played any console games worth remembering since I hate consoles with a passion that exceeds rationality up to this day.
Once I saw what I could do in a puter game I ditched all my consoles (the old NES, my Sega Genesis and my Turbografx-16 , only one I really miss is Splatterhouse and the turbografx itself wich I still mourn for me giving it away when I was young, rest is crap )

Edited by: mama guru on 27/05/2009 10:29:16 Doom on the Playstation. I had a PC but the ps1 version was so much better. Alot scarier with better sound effects (I still have the game).
Half-Life. Star Craft.
Best games of their genre still. EVE is like the "Fisherman's Friend" of MMOs. If it's too hard, you are too weak. |
