Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
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.

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 :)
Twisted Metal 2 Final Fantasy 7 Legend of Dragoon Final Fantasy 8 Hydro Thunder
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.
Civ 1. So many happy memories.
Counter-Strike 1.4 Counter-Strike 1.5 Counter-Strike 1.6 Call of Duty: United Offensive Day of Defeat
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
Man, it's hard stratifying games you care about, especially when you have a massive log of them that all impacted you in one way or another. There were a bunch of free Linux games that I have very fond memories of too, like Nexuiz, OpenArena, Abuse, etc. Also a bunch of weird niche games and demos, like One Must Fall and Food Fight and Fur Fighters. It's an impossible task, honestly.
california games.
Flowers of crystal.
Tetris.
Daedelian opus.
Tetris.
ET because fuck me and fuck that game
California games takes me back. That was a classic!
Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards
Super Mario 1 & 3.
688 Attack Sub
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
Halo:CE would probably be the single most important, but it just missed my teenage years.
The Secret of Monkey Island Master of Orion Dune Strike Commander Privateer
I played a lot of Atari and Collecovision as a kid, but games didn’t feel “important” until my family bought our first PC. After that, game consoles in general stopped being important. It was a new world of possibility.
Just five is so limiting:
Mario Kart Mega Man 3 Donkey Kong Country Jet Moto Final Fantasy VII
Even expanding to ten feels restrictive, alas:
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 The Neverhood Perfect Dark Seventh Guest Earthworm Jim
My top 5 were (in no particular order):
Morrowind Ocarina of Time Donkey Kong Country The Sonic chaos game on dreamcast Time splitters
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
In rough chronological order:
Starflyers
Mario Kart
Shadow cities
COD zombies (ios app version)
Minecraft
I'm stopping this list before high school, as I built my first PC and figured out emulation, so I started playing a lot more games.
-Pokemon Gold (OG)
-Metroid: Zero Mission/Fusion
-SSBM
-Battlefront II (The OG one)
-The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
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.
xenogears final fantasy 7 final fantasy 10 super smash Bros melee Diablo 2
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.
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.
In no particular order
Command and Conquer Red Alert 2
Caesar III
Spyro
Metal Gear Solid
Gauntlet
Half life/2 should probably be on there, but it still doesn't feel like an "old" game, especially since I play them every year or two, they haven't left my computer since 2010, and honestly I can't see myself not playing it when I'm 60.
Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask
Super Smash Bros Melee
Halo: Reach
RuneScape
Guildwars 2
Megaman 4
Donkey Kong 64
Paper Mario 64
Assassin's Creed II
Guitar Hero (a lot of them but mostly World Tour)
Starfox 64
Pokemon Snap
Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
Age of Empires 2
Halo (1-3)
