Answer 3

The one game that always kept me playing for hours on end were the Mario games ! From the NES to the SNES to the N64, I could never get enough of Mario and it's the sole reason why I bought a Wii just to download those great old games from Nintendo's virtual console.

The N64's Goldeneye is another game that kept me playing for hours !

Answer 4

The best video game I've ever played and is still my most favorite, is the Jak and Daxter video games for PS2, but I would say the one that most influenced me is the Mortal Combat games for Super Nintendo (:

Answer 5

I still have a double screen video game of Donkey Kong. That one of Mario jumping over the barrels and taking out the hooks to make Donkey Kong fall down... my first videogame.

Answer 6

Captive for the Atari ST. I had played many games, and had such systems as the Coleco Vision (w/ atari adapter) Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC128, but Captive was the first game to get me hook, line and sinker!

Edit - Wow, by the sounds of these answers, it seems I may be the oldest one (Except Bull Goose (sorry to point it out man))

Answer 11

Mortal Kombat and Mario got me hooked into games. Also everquest and world of war craft.

Answer 12

zelda ocarina of time + ff7! I love those games! (I was 7-8)

Then I went off games for a bit, playing them but not as much because I had high expectations for amazing rpgs and no other game would do.

So then Kingdom hearts came along, which in my eyes when I was younger was the ideal video for a girl like me. It even had disney princess. That's when I was nine years old and ever since then I'd go crazy for a good rpg. I also LOVED pokemon blue (I had that 1 too, even though I picked charamander in the beginning XD)

When the DS came out I almost cried because you can't fit the gameboy games into them! =[

So I was the only kid using a gameboy advance when everyone else was using DSs XD xoxoxoxox

Answer 20

TMNT: The manhaatten project for Original Nintendo

Answer 21

Probably Final Fantasy X or Kingdom Hearts II! Both PS2 games, they rock! I would play for hours! :)

And also, Super Mario 64 and Zelda Oceania of Time! I don't know if those are the correct names, but I started playing those when I got a N64.

Answer 22

As much as I LOVE the Zelda series, I would have to say Super Mario Brothers 1.  It was the game that came with my Nintendo, the first video game system I really owned.  It took it from a hobby to a passion.  

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was a huge passion as well.  

Answer 23

StarCraft is what got me rollin. If anyone wants to play, add axist47 to your friends list on Battle.net. Now, I'm on Brood War, and eagerly awaiting SCII's debut.

Answer 24

Zelda ocarina of time most defiently for the storyline a difficulty

Goldeneye  

Answer 25

POKEMON I love that game the first time i played was about 8 years ago the first one i played was Gold version.  I also loved crash and spyro

Answer 26

Tetris on old monochrome monitor. Sounds funny now, but once it was a very advanced thing. That opened a world of computers and video games for me.

Answer 27

N64's goldeneye and other 007 games, mission:impossible, and pokemon snap and stuff like that

Answer 28

Resident Evil 4, surprised?

I would play that game for what I thought was just 2 hours, then I realized I missed dinner. I would always play that game whenever I got the opportunity, it was so addicting. No other game BEFORE that ever got my attention ( besides Super Mario of course), because, I have to admit, I didn't no anything about good games until I played that ( I made bad decisions in the past). But now, 2 years ago, thanks to Resident Evil 4, I know to distinguish the good from the bad

Answer 29

It could be Mario Kart Double Dash!!. However I do like Pokemon games.

Answer 30

Sims,Animal Crossing, Chibi Robo, Mario Kart Wii!

Answer 31

POKEMON!! Yes, definitely that. I played the red version more than the blue

Other honorable mentions would be the original Crash series, the original Spyro series and Gran Turismo
