Mine had to be Mystic Marathon. I don't know if anyone remembers it but you were in a race aginst other goblins or orcs IIRC and it just got progressivly harder. Very simple game but I was hooked.

Growing up? Hmmm, hard to answer, I played a lot when I was a kid, but I guess I'd have to go with Sonic, Mario, and the old Mortal Kombat games.

I had a great time playing Zelda: Link to the Past for the SNES.

Never played vidio games. Is this some new trend?

HAHA Timber, picky are we? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ehm, probably Sonic, it was fairly addictive back then!

Also, FF1 was quite good too.

LOL, I first played a video game in 1976. It was called Pong. But, I was all grown up, a surgical resident.

I guess it's Sonic for me.

Shining Force 2-For the Genesis (Mega-drive)

Not my first, definately not the last.

It blew me away, it was the first time I was engrossed in a story, the first time I genuinely cared about characters. The first time I felt like I played a pivotal role in the storyline.

I felt like I was exploring a new world, not some Mushroom Kingdom or Hedgehog-esque techno nightmare. The battles were exiting, required thought out tactics, they punished poor decisions and rewarded good ones.

I bought the game after 7 years of not playing it this year (I had orignally rented it at least 13 times from my rental store as they didn't have it in any of the stores here), nothing in my gaming experience has come slightly close to this game.

This is my favourite game growing up...and now!

Mario!!!
