Ah! I'm with you there. Metroid Prime was one of my first 3-D games (along with Super Mario Sunshine, which is also special to me). The graphics were amazing, and I really felt immersed in a lonely, strange, dangerous, and beautiful (some places) world. It was also my first Metroid game. I'll never forget my first ventures into the Chozo Ruins, Magmoor Caverns (oh the music), and Phendrana Drifts.
Super Mario Sunshine was my first 3-D game, and I love that game because I love the whole tropical island feel of it and it always makes me feel, uh, happy! I remember first being completely lost running around Delfino Plaza. Noki Bay, Sirena Beach, and Pianta Village are very scenic.

Where's the coffee cake?
Glad to see people like the game as much a I do.
Pokemon Gold(GBC)
There's a great game. Intoduced great new Poke's, added day and night, nicer graphics, and the ability to travel to Kanto. Gotta go play that now. *Runs off*
I can recall the grand feelings that I felt for the following games at any given point in my life, and so I will list them:
Sequels have to be pumped out constantly or people get bored of the games because they aren't made to feel personal anymore. It's crazy that we expected to see a new Zelda and Mario at E3 this year; yes, I really wanted to, but we just got a new Mario not even a year ago that had been in development for years, and we got Twilight Princess the year prior to that. Since then, we've gotten Mario Kart and Smash Bros. We've become a very greedy consumer populace, expecting sequels almost immediately afterwards. Regardless, the best games have already been made, and those are the ones that we will always remember, and can always crawl back to when the modern day gaming industry crumbles.
- Super Mario 64
- Ocarina of Time
- Skullmonkeys
- Crash Bandicoot
- Spyro the Dragon
- Bomberman 64/Hero
- Star Wars: Dark Forces
- Pokemon Blue
- Banjo Kazooie

I honestly cannot begin to recall any other games that gave as much - if not more - back to me as I did to the previously mentioned. That's love right there. We, as humans, love the imperfections in things, and that is why our love for games lies in those of the past, of the 8-bit, 16-bit, 32, and 64 bit eras. The games from the NES, SNES, Genesis, Saturn, Playstation, Nintendo 64, the Gameboys, etc, were THE golden age of gaming. Now, we're in the gilded age of gaming, where games look great on the outside, but are nothing on the inside. Games did not strive to look 100% back then, they focused around the experience, and as gamers, we knew that, and we knew the imperfections. We loved those games because of the low-fi home-warming feel that they brought. They were more so like toys, where imagination sparked feverishly when playing them. Now, games are like cinematic movies, and we just watch them from start to finish. Yes, there are great games out there, like the upcoming Mega Man 9 (which I will be purchasing, despite never being a Mega Man fan), but there's just far too much garbage.

That was a beautiful statement. Being a nostalgic gamer myself, I can tell that you are very dedicated to the golden age of gaming. Cranky Kong himself would be proud of you.
On that note, the games that left a great impact on me include the following;
Ape Escape
Guardian's Crusade
Donkey Kong Country 2
Final Fight CD
Sonic Adventure(original Dreamcast version)
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage
Super Mario RPG
Kirby Super Star
Mischief Makers
Super Smash Bros
Mystical Ninja starring Goemon
Sonic CD
Parasite Eve
Final Fantasy IV
By the way, I must say that while the Dreamcast's games looked good at the time they came in, they actually had soul(licensed games notwithstanding). Even the quirkier games had their own charm to them. The Dreamcast was truly Sega and Sonic Team's swan song before becoming a shadow of their former selves.

Also,Paper Mario.
It was my first RPG(not FF7!),and I loved how the 1000 year door improved so much of the series,and then SPM took its charm away...
I still have it!
And Sonic Adventure Battle 2.
I swear that game has the highest replay value of ANY game.

wow this. Paper Mario 1 was amazing.
1000yd was br0ken. Danger Mario FTW. killed Bonetail in 1 turn XD.
Also, Wario Land on GBC.
I love finding all the secrets and getting all the treasures, and of course, the infinite lives/power up cheat. probably the first game I ever got 100% on, Was Mario 64. then Wario land. the best part about SM64 was trying my hardest when i was younger, and then ripping the game to shreds with Glitches nowadays.
Yeah,1000 year door was very easy,thats its main flaw <_<

I really like all three Paper Marios, but SPM have a diferent sort of feel for me. Not so much of a "great RPG" vibe as a platformer that experimented with new things.
Sonic Adventure 2: Battle was amazing. I tried Adventure DX later on, but I prefer the second one. Both stories were well done for a Sonic game and gameplay was pretty chaotic and fun. My friends and I absolutely loved the multiplayer, boarding through the city was just great. Even Chao races were fun, but building stats up was all the better. SA2:B actually had some decent vocal tracks, some of which reside on my MP3 player.
I loved Wario Land 4. I remember going back through al the stages to find the CDs and fighting the boss and getting the bst ending. I think I beat that game for the first time in lunch, in fifth grade or something. But now it's so much later, sixteen...and playing it is still so much fun.
The famed Beyond Good & Evil post:
When I first saw this game, I was still in the idiot phase; I skimmed a mini-quide of it in a magazine, mianly looking at the pictures. "Wow, how stupid." I thought. It's ironic that that thinking was pretty dumb, for I later realized it might not be that bad of a game, just something to play. The opportunity had passed, though--you couldn't find BG&E anywhere, you rarely can now.
I saw it in either late 2007 or early 2008 sitting plainly on the shelf of the used Gamecube games at Gamestop. There was no cover for it, instead there was a Gamestop image. "Beyond Good & Evil"...it was something that hadn't ever really appealed to me before. I walked around the store, debating whether or not to get it, remembering almost nothing of the game itself--except that there was a talking pig in it--and looked for anything else that looked decent. But it was all too expensive, and BG&E was only fifteen dollars. I knew I wasn't going to hate it or anything, maybe just not like it as much as previous gems I had played. I went ahead and bought it, not nowing what was in store.
The beginning blew me away. The graphics were beautiful, quite nice for a game coming from 2003. The protagonist, Jade, and one of the orphans she sheltered were doing some form of yoga, as the sun gleamed brilliantly in the background. Suddenly, a meteor comes crashing into the ground and these odd creatures come out, capturing several of the orphans. Jade, takes a burning branch and fights these monsters off, and after that has a very strange experience that pretty much hooked me from then on. I don't want to give too much away, so I'll stop going on about the plot.
The gameplay was great in that game, responsive and special in the way you had to "defeat" your enemies. In the eyes of Jade, her camera was oftimes her greatest weapon. There was so much to do in that game, my only affliction with it is its length (only fourteen hours to beat, about ten acquring most everything in the game and beating it). But this can't really be placed to blame, as BG&E is the first in a delayed trilogy of games.
And since I can't really find a place to put this, the music was really great, as well. Sorry about not mentioning that.
I think BG&E mattered so much to me because it breathed life into a very mundane session of gaming for me. It let me still have hope in games of today, even though I realized that game is about five years old now. I had run into many legends on the Gamecube, yes, but there were few that rivalled Beyond Good & Evil's originality and the differnt rush of things I felt while playing it. I guess it was sort of an in-between, modern enough to let me see the new world of gaming might still have a chance, and old enough to let me appreciate games of the past. BG&E may not be motion-controlled--or even have much association with the Wii--but it showed me if people like director Micheal Ancel could be creative only five years ago, others certainly could as well.
I think that what was said about older games was true, but I still believe that newer games can become gems. With the Wii, I think developers are on the right idea, but haven't reached it quite yet, save for some things like Galaxy, Twilight Princess, and Super Paper Mario which were very appreciated. I think we just have to look harder now, when casual is beginning to overtake core. There are midriffs, too, like Animal Crossing, which stores its depth in odd ways like items and such, but right now I'm waiting for something much more deep and meaningful: Chrono Trigger for DS.

I've played a lot of good games but Earthbound's probably my favorite... never before had I felt a sense of finality"right before beating it. After the "no turning back" point, I realized that I really didn't want the adventure to end, and it left me a bit sad actually. The whole game in general was an enjoyable experience, usually games have slow points but I never really felt that in Earthbound.
Of course, my ROM crashing during the final boss fight wasn't so hot (apparently that's an anti-piracy measure... which is kind of funny actually). Hopefully Nintendo will put it on VC soon so I can finally "beat the game" or at least get an excuse to play through it again.

Yeah Earthbound is AMAZING. I always feel so sad after I finish it, because I always get attached to the characters and the ridiculous plot. I got that for my birthday the year it came out and I have played it religiously every year by just leaving it running until it's done, never had a problem with it too (knock on wood). I did that up until a year ago, when I made the mistake of leaving my SNES at my ex's place. Gotta get that back...
Anyways, that's always been my all time favorite tied with OoT, which I also play once a year. The Original LoZ was one of the first games I remember playing, always brings back great memories. Other games I love:
Donkey Kong Country
Super Mario Bros. 2
Golden Sun and the Lost Ages
Kid Icarus of Myths and Monsters
Metroid
Gradius

Battletoads, good god i think i spent my entire life trying to complete that game.
On a more serious note, Final fnatsay x i can play the opening song on piano.
I have lots of memorys of playing games with my family like Perfect dark 64, mario party, ge and OoT But i would say taht i feel attached to final fantasy x.

Paper Mario, for the N64.
That was the second-to-last game I got for the system. I was too young to know what a franchise or company was, and, being a homeschooled kid, I didn't know about the GameCube, so I made it last. I still love that game more than any other video game- I even loved how the manual smelled.

Soul Calibur. That was one of the very first games I ever played. I remember I was only still a little kid in the arcade at the mall. My dad gave me some quarters, and Soul Calibur was the first game I tried out. Nightmare happened to be the very first character I ever used in the series, and to this day (3 Soul Caliburs later) Nightmare is still my main. Soul Calibur is still one of my favorite series and although Nightmare seems like your cookie-cutter bad guy, he's still my favorite video game character of all time.
Kingdom Hearts 2 is also one of my favorites. The music in that game is amazing...

Really, really loved going through every Mario Kart. I enjoyed Super Mario Kart so much, anyone remember the Feather? The battles in the SNES version seem less chaotic than todau's but still have that charm to them. Mario Kart 64 was a big boost to the series, nice graphics and more interactive stages, plus that Super Mario 64 reference on...Peach Circuit I think it was. I like the GBA and DS versions as well, catchy music in those (Sky Garden, Delfino Plaza, Bowser Castle) and Super Circuit looked a LOT like the N64 version (at least to me), which was amazing to see on a GBA. And ROB was randomly in Mario Kart DS, which makes me laugh that I see him again in Brawl. Double Dash had an interesting concept, the items there were the most unique in the series and I still have time riding across the rails of Mushroom Bridge. And now Mario Kart Wii adds motion controls, and many new faces.
Those all mean something to me, so I'm just going to be short about it because explaining each one=wal of text. Those are what really opened my mind to racing games, even though Mario Kart stays my favorite in that area.
I just did the Beyond Good & Evil glitch where you fall forever. Really, REALLY strange.

Diddy Kong Racing was so much fun...another great battle mode. I loved the characters and the way the cars looked. It looked like you could never take tht game seriously; when you sat down and went into that Castle Area, you'd think quite different. Putting in "FREEFORALL" made our fights so chaotic. I had people practically cniping me at points! I have to encourage some others to get back and play this.
Oh, and Ryu, you're not alone for having a long list. There have been so many video games that are dear to me, for almost every system. I've played too many, it seems, because I think that's when I start to ramble in my posts a bit. =d Nintendo has offered a lot of different adventures...I've never played the Virtual Boy, I haven't been disappointed with one system yet.
Anyways, though, I didn't know Banjo-Kazooie's geography was a hack of Super Mario 64. It doesn't seem like it at all!

F-Zero GX. It was the only game I was seriously good at. I beat staff ghosts without snaking, and unlocked everything possible in the game, even beat Master class with the worst (but my favorite) pilot. I couldn't lose... I don't really play it any more though.

Mario Kart 64:
This was the first videogame I ever played (at my cousin's house) and I loved it. I had never done anything as much fun as playing Mario Kart 64, and it's still one of my favorites.
Pokemon Yellow:
My first videogame, and it's what got me hooked on videogames. I would play it for hours on end, no matter what, I wouldn't stop. I'd turn on my night-light, go lie down on the floor and play my Gameboy under it when it was time for me to be in bed. Too be completely honest, though, I was obsessed with it, and my parents consecuently sold my GBC, but I managed to save my gaves. It was just so amazing. I'm glad I still have it.
Super Mario 64:
almost like Pokemon Yellow. I played it constantly. Getting the 120th star was just amazing.
Super Smash Bros.
This game took over my life. I lived for it. I'd wake up two hours before school every morning and sneak downstairs to play it. I'd take my Pokemon figures and pretend to play Smash Bros. when I couldn't play N64. I spent hours on end playing this game. I'd even pretend play it on my couch. like pretend I got knocked off and had to jump back. Obsessive? very much, but I was like, 9
. Fun and great memories? hell yes

The two big ones for me have to be Yoshi's Island(SNES)and Kirby Super Star(SNES). Both of those games had me in front of the TV for hours on end.

Thief: The Dark Project (1998)
(R.I.P Looking Glass Studios)
Thief: TDP was my first contact with sneaking games and, in my book, it's still the best game in the whole genre along with its sequel, Thief 2: The Metal Age. All is there: the sneaking (awesome gameplay); the characters (Garrett's witty comments come to mind); the story (twisty); the adrenaline rush when I'm hiding, unsure whether I've been seen or not; the plotting in the dark, waiting for the best moment to strike, to shine, before I creep back into the shadows again... I loved and still love every second of it.
Even Thief: Deadly Shadows had me hooked for a while but, being designed first and foremost with a console in mind (XboX), it didn't quite stand up to its predecessors. Nevertheless, it is a solid game, its gameplay true to the Thief name. Plus, anybody here who played the Cradle of Insanity knows what scary is.
I heard Thief 4 is in the work... I can't wait.
Oh, and here's a link to *the* fansite for everyting Thief... been my homepage for nine years:
thief-thecircle.com
Super Smash Bros. Melee, for everything it's inspired in me, promoting healthy competition, and really being the game that introduced me to competitive gaming.
But, I think more than most other games, I have a lot to thank Kingdom Hearts for. Without it, I wouldn't have started writing horrible fanfiction, and without that I wouldn't have started writing in competitions, and without that, I wouldn't have entered WWYP, and without that I wouldn't have an orange username right now.

I never had a game system when I was a kid, so I'd play them when I went to relatives' place.
And I'd always try to play Sonic 2. Oh, the memories.
My Uncle had a Pac Man machine. Nuff said.
Super Mario World. I first played this in a hotel, believe it or not, and I fell in love with it instantly.
Then, after I started getting computer games, I got a couple that I'll always remember as being some of the best ever:
Mainly: Sonic CD.
Backyard Baseball (from waaaaay back)
aaand....
Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego!!!! (the oldest one; before they started dumbing down the series)

who will wield the sword . . .
Excalibur, Herald, Gigas . . .
The blade has had many names,
for it has been celebrated in myths and legends throughout history."

Soo many games; Here's just a few
There are so many great games from the past that if I made a list it would take up soo much space on this forum. I got into gaming I'd say in 1994 and the SNES was my first system and as of now still is.
All three Donkey Kong games are awsome. I still play them to this day. In fact I get into Donkey Kong Contests with a few friends to see who beats the game first. (Not counting bonuses and lost worlds; just the main levels) I lost one just recently in DK2 but got up to Toxic Tower. A DK1 or DK3 will competition will likely arise soon.
Mario games are also classics whether they are the tradition 2D game like the ones on Super Mario All-Stars or even the 3D ones Like the Paper Mario's.
Tetris Attack is also a classic. During the summer of 1999 I played this game all the time even though it came out in either 95 or 96.
And like most everyone one here all three Smash Games are awsome as well and will be played time and time again.
On Playstation I always had fun playing Twisted Metal 3, Madden 99 and Frogger.

I loved Thief. I never completed the game, though. Was hard. Or I am bad at it, I don't know.
But what you say is truth. The sneaking had so much suspension in it. The whole concept felt so refreshing too back then (from the sneaking, to the choice of weapons and the story).
I'm hoping Mirror's Edge is going to be sort of refreshing like Thief was.

Guitar Hero, the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games, and Super Smash Bros.
I have quite a few. The first three Mario Parties, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, Wario World, F-Zero, Super Mario World, and Yoshi's Story, as well as the three Super Smash Bros. games. (SSB, SSBM, SSBB) These games are what made my childhood happy man. x]

Kingdom Hearts is about the only game that's ever "meant" anything to me. I just lost myself in those characters and their story when I was playing that game.
There are plenty of other games I've played that are lots of fun, but they aren't very meaningful.

My first video game was Diddy Kong racing, so it was awesome. Star Fox 64 is one of the few games I still play for my N64. And I have a bunch of wrestling games for the PS2 that mean a lot.

Sonic 1 and 2 on the Genesis: The first games I've played when I was only less than 2 years old. Too bad I had to sell my Genesis so I could eat. At least I got Mega Collection on the GC. :D
Smash Series (64, Melee, and Brawl): Melee introdued me to the competitve scene, 64 is just awesome, and Brawl is one of my fvorite games ever.
LoZ: ALttP: THE best LoZ game. OoT, TP, and WW were all dope and fun and all, but Link to the Past is the best game in the series by far. So much fun.
