I've had a lot of games that I've formed an emotional attachement to but never that have seriously affected any of my views of ways of living. Although some have made me think about alternate worlds.

I don't think I could give a video game enough credit in saying that it's actually been life-changing for me. I'm not that much of a nerd. :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Even so though, I've played Baldur's Gate since it first came out in 1999, so I suppose it's the one game that I've really stuck with.

Yup BG1 was up the charts for me too...

Vask don't worry your post makes sense ;)

Arledrian... [img]tongue.gif[/img] Well it's fun when you get to manage playing time with studies, sports, and your friends... including girlfriends... oh I mean girlfriend. :D

No one game did it, but the games I used to play have me practically bleeding with nostalgia all the time now.

At 17, that's a serious problem for me...

Now, a single game that made me feel different?

Deus Ex...It triggered my latent paranoid tendancies...I studied the subject thoroughly, and it seems that I was born to be crazy as a loon! In any case, I stopped trusting my government. For that, I ought to write Warren Spector a letter of thanks.

Hehe, Deus ruled... too bad Invisible War didn't live up.

Baldurs Gate has taught me i should always gather my party before i venture forth

Pong. I now know that the laws of friction need not apply everywhere.

<span style="font-size:44">ARRGGGHHHH!

/me runs around screaming like lunatic.

"Make the hurting stop!"

"Here, have some Baldurdash!"

"Yay!"

*cough*

Life changing? Hmmmm... about the most drastic that ever happened was a shift in preference in game genre. Playing Septerra Core introduced me to CRPGs and I got hooked on them ever since.

I enjoyed the voice of the narrator, so that line "You must gather your party before venturing forth" was really fun... and then you start to get sick of it. hahaha [img]smile.gif[/img]

Oh so Deus Ex... tsktsktsk I chickened out on Silent Hill 3... hahaha actually I hated the controls and then eventually since I felt so helpless control-wise and game-wise (Should that be the case?) I quit. At least with Resident Evil I like the controls. And RE2 made me scream... what a screwed up game that was. Bad for kiddos.

I loved Twinsin's Odyssey, that was amazing when i was younger, Civilization 3 taught me how nations work, and that wars etc can sometimes be unavoidable and that kind of thing it just gave ma an idea of what i would do in control and sadly i was like our current leaders except i started a nuclear war, sim city 2000 was great when i was in primary school, red alert when i was younger, deus ex was really great although i didn't finish it because of a damaged cd, and vice city is what i play to relax or whatever, it's just nice to go driving or kill something.

They have all influenced me and changed me however slightly, i guess Twinsen was the most changing, i think it was the first or second game i had ever finished, at least the biggest and first 3d game i had ever finished, so it is special, and just the idea of saving your entire race, it was just such a great game, amazing in everyway, i've played through it a couple of times, just a spectacular game.
