Games of your childhood

Browsing reviews on GoG.com and I find a lot of comments like "As a kid this game was my world" and "this game defines my childhood." Do you have any games like that? Please share!

For me: Spyro the Dragon, Age of Empires, Quake and Unreal Tournament, Ratchet & Clank series, and SSX. Those I played at my grandma's house with my sister and cousins, we were a little gaming troupe ages 6 to 10, and we all still play video games today.

Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES), Duck Tales (NES), Little Nemo the Dream Master (NES), Saturday Night Slammasters (SNES), Street Fighter II (SNES) and Rock N Roll Racing (SNES) were probably the games I played the most as a young'un. The SNES games were usually also played at the house of two of my best friends, so I got double time in with them. There are plenty of others, but the six above definitely got the most time.

I played a lot of Pokemon, Zelda, Mario, Super Smash Bros, and Kirby. Pretty much just a Nintendo guy during that time until later on where I play anything from any console I have.

TMNT the arcade game (arcade via ChuckEcheese and birthday parties), Super Mario Bros. 3 (via a friend's NES), Alex the Kid (Sega Master System), and later Sonic 2 (via a different friend's genesis) and Super Mario Kart (SNES, I borrowed this game from a friend and never returned it, oops). Actually, I still have that Mario Kart cartridge so if you want it back, Drew, just let me know.

Like most of you guys, probably, I was addicted to FFVII when it came out. My taste in games has totally changed as an adult, though.

As a youngster:
Mega Man 2
Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos
Mega Man X series (SNES)
Kirby's Dream Land (just the first one)
Killer Instinct/Mortal Kombat 3 (kinda hate MK3 now though)

Teen years:
Wild Arms series
Resident Evil 2
Tomb Raider
Final Fantasy VII~IX (but I'm not too big on these now)
Soul Blade/Rival Schools
Syphon Filter series
Mega Man X series on PS1 (some of these SUCK however...)

From about five to thirteen: Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, TMNT, Double Dragon II, and Ninja Gaiden

thirteen to eighteen: Resident Evil (series), Final Fantasy (series), Mortal Kombat, Silent Hill, Tomb Raider, GTA III, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
