Favorite Game(s) you've played as a kid?

[AngelAlitta]

Hello Retro Game Talk. I haven't used the forums feature before, since I mainly joined to enjoy the video games. But might as well talk to you all.

What were your favorite games as a kid, there is no worry to list a bad game. We all were kids once, and we didn't know what a bad game was. For me the games that come to mind are:
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
Transformers The Game
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Those three were my most played games growing up, because I love blowing stuff up, causing destruction and just having fun. Plus going around a open world as a transformer was my dream come true.

What are your games?

For me was definitely Sonic 1 on the genesis, Golden Axe and Streets of Rage, my mom literally bought it so i would be inside instead of playing on the streets lol (It was pretty dangerous)

-_- video games didn't exist when I was a kid...but I did love playing some NES when I got it. Blaster Master is still my number 1 for a reason, and still holds up today.

I used to play a lot of Tekken 3
Soul Reaver, Gran Turismo and Resident Evil with my Dad. First console I got to emulate was the GBA and I played a lot of Megaman Zero, Castlevania and Metroid.

Kirby Super Star was for sure a family game in the household. We also gathered at the TV when MediEvil came out.

I played the Silent Hill games a lot in elementary school.
It was quite therapeutic.

heyy Transformers The Game and Gta SA are the two games I played a whole lot as a kid! I also remember playing halo 2 and the ultimate spider man

Edit: just remembered, I played the PC port of Spiderman 2! man that was an interesting game

Since there's a lot of overlap between games I enjoyed both as a kid and as adult, I'll highlight one that was a blast to play especially as a kid:

It's so full of surprises and it's actually hard (for a kid!)

Banjo-Tooie also blew my mind when I played for the first time too (I was 5 or 6), and at 11 years old I'd finally buy the game for myself. Nowadays it's hard for me to enjoy it as much.

FF9 literally ruled my life
not even after finishing it, i was roleplaying turn-based battles with my friends and teaching them how to do the animations of vivi while he casts
i would literally look at a hole in the ceiling and believe it would lead me to the FF9 dimension, specifically the mythril mines, and i'd see Garnet and Zidane
