Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

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 :)

I can't limit it to 5.

I keep trying to, and it doesn't work, I end up leaving out something that I spent a massive amount of time on and also very strongly impacted my conception of what a game can be.

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 2 points 4 months ago

Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, Apex Legends, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (1 and 2) and Terraria. I'm not very old X)

[–] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Age of Empires II and Rollercoaster Tycoon, that's about it.

I was born in 1995, but didn't have a capable PC until my late teens so I was stuck with whatever ran on my win98 potato without internet connection. Great games though, still play them today

My cut-off date for "teen years" is the year you were born. 🧓

What an interesting way to look at demographics!

[–] chrisbtoo@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Off the top of my head:

  • Karate Champ II (arcade)
  • Pac-Land (arcade)
  • Gryzor aka Contra (Amstrad CPC)
  • Sorcery (Amstrad CPC)
  • Xenon (Atari ST)

Oh wait, Elite (BBC, Amstrad, and ST) — probably more so than Xenon.

I was in high school when I bought my first console, so it's pretty much just Landstalker and Phantasy Star IV.

[–] DrSoap@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

  • Zelda: The Minish Cap
  • Pokémon Emerald
  • Sonic Rush Adventure
  • Final Fantasy III (remake)
  • Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

The DS wasn't the first gaming machine I ever had, but it was the one I had from ages 13-18 and the one where I cut my teeth.

Half Life

Team Fortress Classic

Mecharrior 4: Vengeance

Ocarina of Time

Diddy Kong Racing

Those are the ones where I'd be a different person now without.

  • Columns (played with my mom, she fucking loved that game so much she’d leave the console running between playtime to save her progress)
  • Sonic spinball
  • Golden axe/street fighter (both)
  • Comix zone (this one even influenced my music tastes because it came with a CD - the first cd I ever owned. Still have it.)
  • Dominion (now abandonware, similar to StarCraft but with laser fences and shit)

All of these were SNES/genesis other than dominion which was pc.

Whatever hockey game I had on genesis gets an honorable mention. It’s the only purely sports game I’ve ever played and liked.

Cytus

Pokémon Platinum

Diablo 1

Mabinogi

Yume Nikki

Cytus is pretty much the core of my whole personality (and music taste) so it is The Most Defining game for me. Platinum is special since it was my first game instead of a family game or whatever. Diablo scared the crap out of baby me but I really liked playing it! It was something my entire family played, everyone had a character save. I always was interested in MMOs but Mabinogi is The One that works for me. I reminded me a lot of Runescape when I played it but didn't have an egregious pay wall behind half the content (when I got to playing mabi, ik they had some pay walled stuff that they've gotten rid of over the years). I play any tab target MMO and I'll just have 'damn I'd rather be playing mabinogi rn' in the back of my head most of the time. And Yume Nikki was my first real foray into horror. I'm a wimp and hate playing horror games but I loved how vague everything was that I learned everything I could about the game. Enough to guide a friend through it over a phonecall.

[–] kusttra@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I could just make the list all Pokemon games, but that seems like cheating...

  • Pokemon
  • Golden Sun
  • Warlocked
  • Mega Man: Battle Network
  • Dragon Warrior 3 (on GBC)
[–] feddup@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago

It's so hard picking 5 but:

Super mario bros Half life Metal gear solid Driver Grand theft auto 3

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Super Mario Bros 3 Dark Reign Unreal Tournament Homeworld Gears of War

[–] FearMeAndDecay@literature.cafe 1 points 4 months ago

Hmm definitely Minecraft, Skyrim, and Sa2b. As for the other two… probably Town of Salem and Fantasy Life for the 3ds

I still play Minecraft, I played some modded skyrim last year (and got the oblivion remaster) and I literally got a steam deck primarily so I could play sa2b on it whenever I want. I’ve been loving the fantasy life sequel that just came out too. The only thing I don’t really play anymore is town of Salem bc the servers suck even worse now. So few players that you’re always stuck with racist trolls and shit

Basically, teen me had pretty good taste
