Question of yesterday, I think... better late than never, I suppose. I have a tendancy to miss all the qotd's that I want to contribute to.
Anyway, video games have been a pretty big part of my life, though I never really popped that many quarters into the arcade machines. I started off getting hooked on video games mostly on the PC (IBM XT) and some of the early consoles (Atari, NES and Sega Genesis). But here's a quick random list just for fun...
Early Games on the IBM XT:
- Arkanoid
- Hero's Quest (so, you want to be a hero)
- California Games
- Xenon II
- Prince of Persia (the first sidescroller one)
- Duck Hunt
- Pac Man
- Tetris
- Star Fox
- Super Star Wars
- Mario (I suck, my timing's always off)
- Time Crisis
- Street Fighter
- Mortal Kombat
- Virtual-On (awesome)
- Quake III Arena/Team Arena (deserves special recognition)
- Quake (I, II and 4)
- Doom (I, II and 3)
- American McGee's Alice
- StarCraft
- Return to Castle Wolfenstein
- Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
- Star Wars: Dark Forces, Jedi Outcast , Jedi Academy
- Half-Life and all sequels
- Star Wars: Republic Commando
- Medal of Honor series
- Call of Duty I and II
- Aliens Versus Predator I and II
- Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
- Myst/Riven etc.
- Heavy Metal: FAKK 2
- Chronicles of Riddick
- Gore (total waste of money)
- Unreal Tournament 2003, because right after I bought it, they released UT2004 which was nothing more than a glorified patch that solved all the problems that annoyed me in 2003.
- Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (Oooo... can't wait *froth at mouth*)
- Final Fantasy VII (I feel like I missed out on a big part of pop culture)
