What games did you grow up on?

[L2R]

the first two virtua fighters were sublime to play. the fighting system was awesome. you could really time parry-like moves to perfection, and it becomes like a dance. the main japanese dude and the drunken bloke were brilliant to use.

Resident Evil 1, 2, 3 on Playstation.
Final Fantasy 7, Wild Arms, Vandal Hearts, FFTactics on Playstation too.

Holy fuck I totally forgot about Mortal Kombat. Me and my friends used to live for MKI and MKII tournaments with each other.

I remember how big a deal it was to discover Reptile down in the pits (my older brother, who bought the game and taught me the code to make it bloody showed it to me, to the chagrin of my parents), and beat the shit out of him.

And how awesome it was to play him in MKII, even though he kind of sucked. Jax and Mileena were fucking unstoppable in MKII.

erm, Dungeon Keeper on my neighbor's windows 98. i loved the shit out of that game. i played it as often as i could. i loved building as many torture rooms as possible to so i could have armies of ghosts and skeletons and then birth a couple of vamps. shit i'd play that shit right now.

Yes! One of my favourite games ever.

That and Arcanum (RPG), and the Thief series (Stealth) are my favourite games of all time I think.

For console it was Tomb Raider and Spyro :D

Haha, I remember watching my cousin play the first Resident Evil game, and him scaring me by wishing me goodnight at the end of the evening and pretending to get murdered by a zombie which got him from behind only to have me witness his death. Scared the shit out of me, good times.
