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.

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 :)
It's so hard picking 5 but:
Super mario bros Half life Metal gear solid Driver Grand theft auto 3
I could just make the list all Pokemon games, but that seems like cheating...
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.
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.
Well, I'm not as old as some people, but here goes.
• Sonic Mega Collection
• Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 ( w/ all expansions )
• Borderlands 1
• Worms Armageddon ( the xbox360 version )
• Destroy All Humans 2
Super Mario Bros 3 (on GBA)
Runescape
Pokemon Diamond
Skyrim
COD4
super smash bros melee
tomodachi life
sonic adventure 2
will add last 2 if i can think of any
in roughly chronological order:
to this day, Titanfall 2 is by far my favorite FPS game. nothing comes even remotely close
Starfox 64
Pokemon Snap
Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
Age of Empires 2
Halo (1-3)
Megaman 4
Donkey Kong 64
Paper Mario 64
Assassin's Creed II
Guitar Hero (a lot of them but mostly World Tour)
Pokémon Red, Pokémon Gold/Silver, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Call of Duty 4.
I played a lot of games and can list many more, however those are the ones off the top of my head.
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.
Super Mario Bros 3 Dark Reign Unreal Tournament Homeworld Gears of War
The Secret of Monkey Island Master of Orion Dune Strike Commander Privateer
I think at least. Mario Kart DS also ranks highly of course, so does Team Fortress 2 and Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. GTA SA/IV, Pokémon Diamond, Wii Sports, Super Mario Galaxy. I gamed a lot as a kid/teenager so there's plenty that influenced me.
Counter-Strike 1.4 Counter-Strike 1.5 Counter-Strike 1.6 Call of Duty: United Offensive Day of Defeat
Super Mario Galaxy
Red Alert 2
Age of Empires 2
Fallout New Vegas
TES Oblivion
And then there were games like Pizza Connection (my mother loved playing all parts except for the action sequences, which were my obligation), Aces over the Pacific, Lands of Lore, One Must Fall: 2097, Mortal Kombat, Stars!, Sinistar, Master of Orion 2, M.A.X., Z, Gender Wars (lol the story was utter trash but the gameplay was fun), Metal Marines (I just loved shooting rockets between windows on my desktop)...
And the longer i think, the longer the list gets because i start to remember more, like Syndicate, Alley Cat (i just found out that there is a Remeow Edition for free!, Abuse, Mechwarrior 2, ...
Damn, gotta look into my old archives and go on a retro rampage this weekend
FF VII
Ocarina of Time
Ghost & goblins
Galaga '88
Ninja Spirit
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
Lots of honourable mentions though.
Lemmings. Prince of Persia. Doom. Tomb Raider 1. Gran Turismo.
Most important?
Morrowind.
I was already playing it, when a pack of dogs killed my two geese. One had a broken neck, the other had its guts spilling out.
I'm convinced that Morrowind helped me through my depression, and prevented me from becoming suicidal.
But I also like Drakan: Order of the Flame, Little Big Adventure 2, Dune 2, and Warcraft 1.
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.
Pokémon, wow, final fantasy tactic advanced, harvest moon, civilization I guess ?
Star Ocean 2, FFVII, Chrono Cross, Legend of Dragoon, Resident Evil 2.
Honorary mention for literal every ps1 game.
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.
