Well look at that JJJ, it's nice to see someone who grew up with Sony as well as Nintendo!

Probably the most worthy mentions would be:

Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped:
Spoiler: show
The platformer of my life. Put so many hours into this, re-played the game at least 10 times, AND STILL HAVEN'T 100% IT! Naughty dog really outdid themselves with this title, their titles were always great, even now (which is part of the reason why I cry everytime I see I have no PS3). Great secrets, nowadays not too challenging (except for the platinum time trials), extremely tight controls, cool bosses, power-ups, great level design... I won't stop singing it praises. It's just great, something I'd call perfection for me.


Pokemon Blue:
Spoiler: show
I had a gameboy way back when (and still have it now!). I found this game at a trading mart thing, and knowing pokemon I picked this one up straight away. Aaand then I got stuck at Vermillion grym (cause being a 5 year old kid I didn't figure it out). It wasn't until my friend nearly beaten the game, when I actually understand the concept of using CUT outside of battle xD. Many memories, one of my only connections to Nintendo back then.


Czasoprzestrzen/Spacetime:
Spoiler: show
A Polish indie game, made in RPG Maker, doubt any of you will've ever heared of it. A monster has come to destroy the Earth. To prevent this from happening 3 heroes, Aki, Winiwia and Turmin were sent to the past to slay the Monster while it was still young. However once they are sent things start to get complicated. Turmin separates from the group, Aki and Winiwia find themselves caught up in problems of the past world. When I replay this game now I see poor design choices, many annoyances, and just some weird things, but overall it was a great game to get me into RPG genre. Unforgiving but great. It also helps that it's sequels are even more awesome. I wish someday other people could play it, but for now it's just my hidden gem...


Final Fantasy 7:
Spoiler: show
Another problem, since this was an RPG in English, I didn't understand a word xD Most of my attempts ended on Guard Scorpion, but one time I've got past him, and got to Tiny Bronco on my own (which then would be rendered useless, since I've deleted my save file). Playing this now shows me that I was better off leaving this game until I learn English, and understand what is said. The game is great, massive world, great music, cool battle system, and of course fantastic story.


Pac-Man World:
Spoiler: show
Another game that I've not heared mentioned by very many people. This one puts some fresh air into the old Pac-Man! The 3D gameplay is great, with cool level design, puzzles, music, bosses and even cool throwbacks like the pellets, mazes and a level in space world (which is freaking awesome!). More people need to play it.


Other Mentions:
Spoiler: show
- Croc - Maybe not as good as the others, but that 4th world gave me the creeps, and is forever engraved in my memory
- Diablo 2 LoD - Far beyond my age restrictions at the time, but it had the atmosphere I've never experienced before. Dark, gritty, cool game.
- Pokemon Silver - Of course the sequel to one of the most successful games ever, so I must've played it. I don't need to sing it's praises, my favourite game in the pokemon main series so far!
- PMD: Red Rescue Team - ...I said in the main series, because this game is on par with silver!
- Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc - Very wacky game, have yet to finish it since I somehow gave up on it at the FREAKING FINAL BOSS.


Any other games that will come to mind I'll just edit in.

Oh, I forgot about Playstation and Gameboy. I remember Crash Bandicoot Warped and Final Fantasy 8. Pokemon Gold was my first Pokemon game so playing it and the remakes of it are like nostalgia city for me.

Speaking of Final Fantasy 7 I got a copy yesterday for only 20 bucks. Woot.

One of the very first games I played was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist, for Sega Genesis. It was in the waiting room of the dentist I used to visit. It was pretty cool even though I never did very well with it.

Simply Sonic R, Pepsi Man (we had the ARABIC version at that time :P) and Crash Team Racing, that's all I remember. Man, I will miss Sonic R and Pepsi Man soo much :(

Oh man, I had Sonic R for the PC. Back then I thought it was hard. Haven't played it since, but watching AGDQ speedrun just shows how bad I was xP Probably the best thing about that game were the hidden passages with emeralds and such.
