Interesting you make this thread now, I'm almost 20 so my childhood games are mainly PS1-era stuff, and I played a LOT of Rayman 2 on PC at school of all places, a few years after it came out. My friends and I instead of playing outside would sit inside and play Rayman 2 every lunch time for weeks haha.
I picked up a copy on PS1 for $5 on eBay last week, and have been playing it a bit the last few days. Very nostalgic for me. I love the level design and the humour and characters. Very fun. The only annoying thing is using L1 and R1 for moving the camera ><

I used to love fighting my bro in this game. We would almost piss ourselves as it was just too fun!
And the Final Fantasy VIII and Legend of the Dragon demos are two more highlights for me.

Bitches & softcocks, may I introduce...Lazy Jones! This slack ass janitor was a hardcore gamer. Sneaking into hotel rooms and trying his hand at many mini games, Lazy Jones was and forever will be a legend in my books!

i had Dizz and loved it but on C64 which also uses tapes but didnt screech and whine, Commodore had the good sense to not play it through the TV speakers.
I had PAng on cartridge for C64 I destroyed my joystick playing that game.

Ignoring FFVII as its boring to go on about it; I spent a lot of time playing Mario Kart on the SNES, used to love battle mode on the beach!
Started PC gaming with Worms which has to be one of my fave games of all time, my friend John and I spent sooo much time on it.
Comman and Conquer was awesome too and then Red Alert, also sunk countless hours into Theme Park and Hospital.

And the best thing - I've just read it's getting a remake. :D
Just a quick thought right off the top of my head:
NES: Super Mario Bros. 1 2 & 3, Ninja Gaiden, Renegade
SNES: Mario World 1 & 2, Street Fighter II, Rock and Roll Racing (Loved this game!)
N64: WCW/NWO: Revenge, Mario Kart 64, and of course Smash Bros.!

Still the best commercial ever!
PS1: All the FF's (this was the first time getting into them, starting with VII), Marvel Super Heroes, RE
And I'll stop there because I have to get back to work lol

My cousin had a Mega Drive (Sega Genesis) console when it first came out and whenever I would visit we would play games like Streets of Rage, Mortal Kombat 1 (even though we were both too young lol), Shinobi and Sonic and Knuckles. Those were good times, staying up till late playing games without a care in the world, except for how to beat the next boss lol.

Had a demo of this on PSX. Could never figure out wtf to do on it. Actually thought about buying it from GOG on my PC to try it again.

I remember getting very annoyed at not being able to play this game because my PC couldn't handle it. :lol:

I never knew it was on the PSX. I've considered buying it from GOG too, as I tried to run it off the disc a while ago but Windows wouldn't play ball.
