What Video game did you play most as a child?

[senseless]

Does anyone remember Adventure on Atari? I liked that game.

Of course!

Diablo 2. I was addicted to that game when it came out. I was 11 when it did.
After that it was halo 2.

 

[hieromonk]

it was either championship manager or Runescape

Pc : carmageddon / Everquest /
Xbox : midtown madness / kingdom under fire / crazy taxi

 

[GumaRodak]

Lineage 2

Everything on Amiga!

Then Mac games like Warcraft 1-3, but honestly too many to recount.

It was probably either X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter or Asheron's Call.

I am very excited about Star Wars: Squadrons.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial of course.

I didn't think that game was as bad as some said. Just hated that glitch where when you tried to get out of the pit, you would fall back in at least half the time

The first [home] video game I played was pong. Kind of crazy the money we spent on a console that did only one thing, on a black and white TV.

Once the Atari came out, I remember going to Sears and spending what felt like all afternoon playing on the demo unit (or trying to play because others were there). At some point my mom got me a atari 2600 and my favorite game a tie between space invaders and adventure.


That was one of my all time favorite games - it was awesome

Yea I loved the demos at K-Mart. This one salesman used to play baseball with me on the Intellivision

Oregon Trail, F15 Strike Eagle, Police Quest, Kings Quest.

I never could find the magic dot.

Loved the Quest Games and the old school RPGs like Phantasie, Wizard's Crown and Eternal Dagger. Also loved the text adventures even before Zork. Used to love this one with a Peter Pan theme where you went to the island and had to find all the treasure and bring it to the cave

Telengard (Commodore 64, 1984)

Star Control II (PC, 1992 or so)

Easily Telengard!!! And Jumpman. And I rolled over Asteroids once

Platform-neutral?

Also, "child" is a really long time, so I will break it down by generations/platforms.

I am unsure about the single most played, but probably one of these:

Atari 2600/5200: Pitfall and Pitfall II, Kaboom!
NES: TMNT, SMB 2 or 3, Zelda 2, FF1, Metal Gear, Metroid
SNES/Sega: Zelda Link to the Past, Mortal Kombat 2
N64: Goldeneye 007, Both Zelda games, SW Rogue Squadron
Mac: Warcraft and WCII, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, Castles: Siege and Conquest


Definitely not a complete list of my favorite games, but those come to mind as ones I played the most. I am sure I missed some.

I actually beat Kaboom! once. Could never figure out Pitfall though. Did run out of time a few times though actively playing

Just keep thinking of more and more as I read. Played Bard's Tale a ton too. By far the first the most. Don't even remember if I finished II or III
