NFT: Video games you loved when you were a teen

So 13-19...Hmmm. Mario Tennis, the Madden games, the NHL games, Super Smash Bros.

.

Spy Hunter and vector graphics Star Wars were my favs

I think I was 13 or 14 when Wargames came out.

Teenage years: Half-Life 2, GTA III, Vice City and Madden.

pretty much grew up during the golden age of video games - mid 90's to early 2000s and played everything I possible could.

Perfect Dark
Super Smash Brothers 64
Final Fantasy 7
Halo

.

Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball for Super Nintendo.

I'd include Fallout 3 and 4 but I was in my 20s. I still play Fallout 4 to this day.

.

and other Infocom text adventure games for a few years as a kid

for video games, we started with Colecovision, but in my Nintendo heyday my favorites were Zelda, Mike Tyson's Punchout, and Contra

Into college, Sega hockey ruled the day, along with Madden

Morrowind

Best game of all time.

I was more a pinball guy

and Centipede.

Video Games:
- Warlords (Atari)
- Football (Intellivision)
- Missile Command (Atari)
- Utopia (Intellivision)

Countless hours playing those, Led Zep's 'In Through the Out Door" the soundtrack.

Also dumped many quarters into the 2-player RBI Baseball.

Anyone here remember Silver Ball, Tonnelle Ave Ridgefield?

.

Duck Hunt, RBI Baseball, Excitebike, Zelda, the early Maddens, Tommy Lasorda Baseball.

was pretty cool

and I'm dating myself:

Mayan Ballgame

Golden Eye on N64.

I had to look that one up.

so go through all the classics at the time and that's your list. But I spent so much time on Tecmo Bowl it was nuts.

Zork.

...it's been a long time since I was a teen.

Civilization 2. The time I spent on that one is disgusting

I'll second that, although I was in my 30's when it came out.

Pong Adventure Pac Man Donkey Kong Tempest.

beloved game.

but then it became almost all sports.

Blades of Steel
Nintendo baseball

and then sega
Sega hockey '94 is probably the greatest video game ever
Fifa Soccer
Bill Wash College Football

During my teen years, Goldeneye for N64 was one of the staples. Played a lot of Wrestlemania 2000.

Sports wise, I played the absolute crap out of NFL2K, 2K1 and 2K2 on Dreamcast.

2005 was just outside of my teenage years, but NFL 2k5 for Xbox and MVP baseball 2005 for PS2 were all-timers.

Dreamcast was a pretty decent system. It's a shame it didn't do too hot. If I remember correctly, it came out too late with Ps1 and N64 already out there for a lengthy amount of time.

NHL 94 for Sega was fucking bad ass by the way. I remember I got that for my birthday in 1994. That was a very good game.

Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness (PC)
Mortal Kombat 2 (arcade)
Mario Kart (SNES)
Pilotwings (SNES)

Asteroids, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Tecmo bowl, MLB, Punch out, Mario Bros.
I have and Xbox still do but haven't looked at it in over a decade I would play COD and Madden probably the originals at this point.

I am sure there are more but memory fades through time.

About 5 or six years ago I bought for my stepfather a retro Atari set per my mothers request for Christmas it came with a ton of games installed he still plays it to date and he is in his 80's.

on SNES was the fucking bomb. I think I was 12 when it initially came out, but I think I was officially a teenager when I discovered it a year or two later.

I played Daggerfall and really liked it in spite of all the bugs. I remember being so disappointed waiting for Morrowind to drop (lots of delays, etc.). I had largely stopped gaming in high school outside of Madden because of time constraints and just missed every game in the series since then. Tried out Morrowind during lockdown and enjoyed toying with it. It
surpasses Daggerfall in just about every way and I can totally see how its considered one of the best RPGs of all time.

Pitfall
MYST
PGA Golf (on Mac)

Space Invaders, Galaga, Asteroids

Space Invaders, Galaga, Asteroids

sports:
-baseball stars
-tecmo bowl/tecmo super bowl
-blades of steel
-tyson's punch out

non sports:
-battle of olympus
-final fantasy
-megaman

Etch-A-Sketch

Baseball Stars for sure. This game was awesome and one of the first I remember with a cheat. I can't remember exactly how to do it but like you did some and it asked a question like when isn't it and the answer was when it was or something like that. The making building of players was a lot of fun.

All the Tecmo Bowls were awesome, I mean do I have to say more.

I also loved Aerobiz which I had a blast on... when and where are the olympics and how fast can I get a flight there!!
