Neverwinter Nights from 2002 will be my big nostalgia one though.
 
Anyone remember zork or the kings quest and space quest games?
 
I liked kings quest. Was a great beginning for a genre, anyways, a classic for its time.
 
I had Worms for the Dreamcast, but my brother played it more than I did.
 
Pong.

Radar Rat Race. (A game for the Vic20, played with a cassette tape.)

Space Invaders and Breakout.

Have I dated myself yet?

(Oh, and we played board games and card games, too. Life, Monopoly, Yatzhee… Great memories!)

I remember being over at my cousins’ once, and they were playing Donkey Kong or Mario or something. It was a video game, so I would have been happy to play it then, but now? I’ll stick to FPS or simulation games.

Or guitar hero. That’s another big one. I won a guitar hero competition in band class about eight years ago. I wish I could play a real guitar as well as that game made me think I could.
 
I remember in my VERY early childhood, probably around age 4-6 so around 2001-2003, I played this online Hot Wheels game. I think it was multiplayer. I remember being fascinated by it, but I think they shut it down shortly afterward. If I could just remember the name in sure I’d get some nostalgic feelings.
 
Yes, I played pong. I think it was originally called Breakout or something in the arcades.

And I too, my grandma got it for us, I think, got the pong console at home. It was fun.

Space invaders still rocks over pong… David and Goliath comparison. Lol
 
I think that you’re right about Breakout.

I always liked playing the video games when you could play them with another person, as opposed to just playing by yourself or with a single player. I always thought that it was more fun playing with another person. 🙂

The only video games from my youth were pong, space invaders, etc.

I played video games with my older kids, though, such as Luigis mansion, Supermario sunshine, Picman, Sims and Sim city. Roller coaster tycoon was my favorite, although i too drowned many customers in leafy lake by accident.☺️
 
At some point, my parents bought my son a Sega Genesis with one of the Madden football games. I never was much of a football fan anyway, so I liked to punt or go for a field goal when it was first down, just so I could hear the announcer say (which he always did, every time), "First down. The kicking team comes on. I can’t believe it!" Then you could also do a fake kick play, and the announcer would say, with simulated electronic excitement, “It’s a fake!”
 
Hmmm…maybe I will get Battlefield 3. Is there still a lot of online players??
 
I don’t know. I haven’t played it in years. Personally, I wasn’t a fan because it had strange and unrealistic colors. :confused:
 
Oh man… I was big on video games when I was a kid.

My all time favorites… I was big on rpg/stategy games. Earthbound was my favorite rpg as a kid. It was not big in the USA. Games made by Koei were also my favorites. “Uncharted waters” and “uncharted waters new horizons” were probably the games I wasted the most time playing lol.

When I got on my teens I was big on GoldenEye and a Dreamcast game called “Shenmue” then I ditched video games and when I came back in my early 20’s it was Grand theft auto San Andreas all the way. But also a series called “romance of the three kingdoms” I probably have the fondest memories playing the games I listed. I still have a PS2 but I rarely play it Maybe once every 6 months or so.
 
I used to play Unreal Tournament on the Dreamcast. I enjoy Shenmue but the English voice acting leaves a lot to be desired.
 
Arcade games back in my day.

-Pong (1972) at Woolworths department store.
-Gun Fight
-Breakout…this was not Pong (1 paddle, block of bricks to destroy)
-Space invaders
-Lunar Landing
-Asteroids… my all time fav …endless hours on one quarter
-Battlezone
-Pac Man
-Defender
-Donkey Kong
-Frogger
-Pole Position
-Star Wars

What a waste time all these were for me.

Today’s teen boys are even more addicted.
