going back to the original that started for me:



and



the first NES game i've ever beaten.

[Balasubbie]

The Mother series, probably, to be entirely fanboy and trite. I'd do it chronologically this time too, for all the difference it makes.

I allways though this, there's nothing better like playing a game for the first time... such a amazing feeling...

Resident Evil 4



The game that introduce to me to the Resident evil franchise, thanks to this game i played the RE games on PC and PS2 and GC and PC (played RE 2 like 4 times or more).

Majora's Mask



I don't care, i'll pick this game ANY DAY over Ocarina of time. One of the first games that i played on my emulator (now i got the cartridge) and used a walktrough to finish the game... i wanna try again but without any help.

Donkey Kong Country 2



Super Metroid



Do i reallly need to explain this one?

and Resident Evil 2



This one and RE 4 are my favorite games in the franchise... i can't pick just one.

Morrowind for XBox, for sure. When I first played it, I had never played another game like it my life. No other game had so much to do, so much environment and NPCs to interact with, such an open-world. It was jaw-droppingly amazing. The game was just huge and insanely immersive for the time. Nothing else compared back then.

Morrowind was already smaller than Daggerfall was, and Ultima VII (already 10 years old at the time) had a richer game world by far.

Earthbound, hands down. Not even for fanboy purposes. This was the first game that I ever bought that I didn't rent (my parents would only let me rent a game before I bought it or tried to convince them for a birthday present). I read through Nintendo Power and followed Earthbound however I could.
Finally got it in November of 95, saved up all my money, scoured every store in town (even had a $10 dollar off coupon from Nintendo Power).

The amount of hype I put into it would have suggested that I was setting it up for failure. But it blew my mind. I was amazed the entire game. It felt fantastic, I'd relive playing it all again in a heartbeat.
I even convinced another kid at school that it was the coolest game he could get for Christmas that year.


Secret Of Evermore comes in at a close second.
I followed it the same way I did for Earthbound (Nintendo Power like a mofo). The snippets of rough sketches and CGI pictures and the places you would go in the game seemed like an amazing concept. (I get to go to a prehistoric world, greek temples, midevil castles AND a space station in ONE game. Sign me up)
The magic of the game started to wear off around the 2nd half of exploring Antiqua, and completely lost it halfway through gothica. I was THOROUGHLY disappointed that Omnitopia was nothing but corridors and like--12 enemies.
But I wouldn't mind reliving my first runthough of Prehistoria.

[ExedExes]

Shenmue - Dreamcast

Super Mario World
F-Zero
Pilotwings
Super Metroid
Zelda A Link To The Past

and many other quality SNES titles

Finally, Deus Ex - PC. It had that WOW factor for me like many other console games had for me in the past.

Agreed. I don't remember where exactly I lost interest but that game just kept going and going, I found myself at some points thinking, "is this game almost over yet?". But it was pretty engaging at first. I don't know that I enjoyed it enough to want to go back and experience it again but I was pretty into it for a while.

don't know where you lost interest? pick a card:

- numerous glitches (energize/Defend+Inn stat boosts, faulty hexadecimal system, losing your flying ship, maxing out on call beads)
- easily abusable level and alchemy spell system
- small world maps
- minimal story and zero character development
- boss fights not feeling like boss fights (especially with the easily abusable weapon and alchemy system)
- getting 90% of your in-game relic items from the Antiqua market
- 95% of all the spells in the game are niche and useless.

Beautiful game with an amazing soundtrack. But there is so much wrong with it.

It has honestly been so long since I've played it that I don't remember half of those but yeah, point taken. And that's why I stopped playing and got rid of it. haha
