Message: [QUOTE="Ian Naxieas, post: 80445, member: 4966"] I haven't had too many gaming gifts that have had a huge impact on me, but the few that did were something special. I wanted and did end up getting a Genesis, but ultimately I like the SNES way more. Did have lots of great memories on the Genesis though, it was by no means bad, but I just didn't play many games that were a big influence on my tastes. I know a lot more great Genesis games now, but they came in too late to have a profound impact on me. However, there is one shining gem amidst all that. You could even call it a [I]treasure.[/I] Gunstar Heroes completely kicks ass. I had no idea it existed before I got it as a gift from my grandpa, but it clicked with me right away. Man, what a great fucking game. Treasure really hit the ground running with that as their first game. I'm not a huge fan of run and gun games, but Gunstar Heroes is my favorite of the genre and pretty high up on a list of my favorite games of all time. Second is easy, the PS1 my grandpa got me for Christmas. As mentioned elsewhere, I wanted one because of the first Twisted Metal game and there was so much more the console had to offer in addition to that. It really had a huge impact on the kinds of games I like, I'd even say the biggest impact on my tastes. Finally, this one is kinda the thread's idea in reverse. I bought Bust-A-Move '99 as a gift to my mom because she loved playing Bust-A-Move in the arcade. I liked it in the arcade too, but didn't think about playing it much on the PS1. Well, I decided to play it with her a few times and it didn't take long to get me completely hooked. I absolutely love that series now, it's one of the only puzzle games I like and I force everyone I know to play it with me. x) Thankfully, everyone I've forced really enjoyed it too. Like Gunstar Heroes, it's just proof that I can never say I dislike any genre entirely. [/QUOTE]
