Which game was life-changing for you? - Page 2

Yup stormy is right. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

As for me it is Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VII. The concept of time traveling in Chrono and the human stuggles in FF VII really have affected me and has had an impact on how I see things. Well, I did play them when I was at a young age...

After playing civilisation 2 I learned that I should never be trusted with the power of a super power.

Whichever game it was that I played first. Obviously, it lead to an addiction.

Well I don't really have a game that gave me a perspective of life...but the game that taught me about past history was Age of Mythology...lol

It was FF7 and Crono trigger for me, too.

FF7 was the first real RPG that I played, and it made me look for RPGs as much as platformers, and Crono trigger was the one that made me look for RPGs almost exclusively.

Having to think while playing instead of jamming on one button is a good idea, which I soon figured out. I think that's why I'm in honors classes. Or that could be just an excuse to play more video games. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Also, sometimes it's kind of fun to think about the impossibilities in video games. Like a certain BG2:TOB enemy is (possibly spoiler) immune to timestop. Assuming time could be stopped, or at least slowed down to where it seemed to be stopped, or speeding up someone to the point where everything else seems to be stopped, something else immune to the spell would mean time was slowed, but since it was immune, the third choice is impossible, and why would time return to normal after the spell wore off? Wouldn't the creature remain in the faster time, and kill everything in an instant?

LS0158: A person who is immune to timestop is immune to timestop. Hehehe, I think hasting time would be different. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Mafia... hmm I think Hitman will be an interesting game. My friend will lend me his copy. Hitman 2 that is...

I was within an inch of being a history major as an undergrad, due entirely to the original Age of Empires (from '97).

Get the shivers now just thinking about the horrors

As for PC games, none, though BG1 sure ate up a good deal of my time. So much so that I have had to discipline myself on the amount of time I put into games.

However, like Stormymystic it was D&D P&P that changed my life. The time I spent on that through the early through mid-80's was less than well spent. I must be getting older though because neither the P&P or PC RPGs hold me captive now.
