I had been through four consoles and five jobs before most of the games in the notes had come out.
My top five were virtually chiselled on stone tablets by comparison :)
Elite, Hanse, Pirates, Castles of Dr. Creep, Lode Runner.
Bonus points if you know any of them…
Elite was the first “proper” video game I played on a computer. Before that it was all games in the arcade, and on the Atari 2600.
Also (from a certain point of view) the first RPG I played (excluding D&D obviously – I’m not an animal!).
Twisted Metal 2 Final Fantasy 7 Legend of Dragoon Final Fantasy 8 Hydro Thunder
Legend of Dragoon. ❤️
I never finished it, as the fourth disc was scratched on the copy I bought used. ☹️
It would definitely be worth downloading and running on an emulator, that last stretch is pretty baller.

So yeah – all these games people played as “teenagers” are games I started playing last year, relatively speaking :)
Super Mario Bros 3 Dark Reign Unreal Tournament Homeworld Gears of War
Super Mario Galaxy
Red Alert 2
Age of Empires 2
Fallout New Vegas
TES Oblivion
By pure numbers, mine has got to be GTA San Andreas since I only had a PS2 for the longest time. I think that might be why I kinda hate games now? Buying a new game and you get maybe a couple dozen hours if you’re lucky kinda sucks. Oh it’s just a campaign of like 9 missions? And the missions are pretty linear? idk man, might be worth like $10 but definitely not fullprice $60 or even half off $30.
Starfox 64
Pokemon Snap
Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
Age of Empires 2
Halo (1-3)
- Pikachu volleyball. Legends, we played it in computer class
- Dota. The OG of moba
- snakes. The only game in our phone
- suikoden
- ff8
I m old.
You really aren’t.
The first one on my list was a game in the arcade, then a game on the Atari 2600 :)
Listing ff8 hurts, my list didn’t have a number attached to ff.
Damn, Atari 2600 looks so old. The oldest I have is nes kungfu. The sound effects are classic.
I can only think of 4 big ones.
HellMOO, based on LambdaMOO, a text based game/roleplay/sandbox engine.
Blockland, a Lego kind of game about building with much more on top (like how Minecraft is a building game with more to it)
Zelda Majora’s Mask / Twilight Princess.
GTA San Andreas (Multi Theft Auto / SA multiplayer mods)
Maybe something like Creatures. I still think of those games.
What an interesting way to look at demographics!
