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.

Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
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.

This list could also be alternatively titled: "Why I flunked out of college the first time."
True. For me it was counter strike source 😄
Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, Apex Legends, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (1 and 2) and Terraria. I'm not very old X)
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. 🧓
I m old.
What an interesting way to look at demographics!
Off the top of my head:
Oh wait, Elite (BBC, Amstrad, and ST) — probably more so than Xenon.
stone tablets
Right there with ya OP!
Commodore Vic 20/Commodore64: Clowns, Omega Race, a space station game, Ghosts and Goblins, Zork, there was a Transformers game (looked fan made), Lode Runner, and about a dozen more

Super Mario World
Secret of Mana
Twisted Metal 2 Final Fantasy 7 Legend of Dragoon Final Fantasy 8 Hydro Thunder
I was in high school when I bought my first console, so it's pretty much just Landstalker and Phantasy Star IV.
Games that i bonded with my siblings playing growing up. Our lives would have not been the same without them.
Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros, Xena Warrior Princess, Going Quackers, Pokémon Stadium
Am I young or everyone else old?
No order:
•Chrono Trigger •FFVII •Panzer Dragoon Saga •GTA3 •EverQuest •(Street Fighter Alpha 2 is up there too)
FF VII
Ocarina of Time
Ghost & goblins
Galaga '88
Ninja Spirit
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.
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.
I could just make the list all Pokemon games, but that seems like cheating...
It's so hard picking 5 but:
Super mario bros Half life Metal gear solid Driver Grand theft auto 3
Super Mario Bros 3 Dark Reign Unreal Tournament Homeworld Gears of War
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
