Man, If tons, mainly older games...you guys might not know some of these...
The first game I EVER clocked..Sonic the Hedgehog, on the Mega Drive...getting through the Labyrinth Zone was one of the hardest things id done at that point in my life...then getting to the awesome Starlight Zone (Who doesnt like this one?) then the hard as hell Scrap Brain Zone...and the third part, I moaned when it was an even harder Labyrinth Zone...then the final battle! Oh man, the feeling I had upon beating Robotnik!
Sonic 2 was just as awesome, the zones were beautiful and the Boss Battles were damn cool...one of the coolest games ive played
Another game I played, a Dracula game for the Mega Drive, it was damn scary, with really atmospheric places and enemies, beating it was really something, it was just damn cool that game...the last level was freaky as hell...especialy fighting Dracula himself...the start was cool, being in that bar, then ending up outside in some cemetery place, I think I had nightmares with that game, I want to play it again..
You'll probably be amused by this, but there was two disney games I loved to death, both to do with Mickey Mouse and some world, the first, you were in this castle and went through all these doors, each leading to a different world, the first world was a forest world, I think the second was some candy place (The jelly pits were really hard, you kept sinking ;_;) and upon completeting the first floor, you got to go upstairs to the next row of doors...some stages were REALLY scary and hard for a kid like me (At that point) I was always afraid of this level were you had to run like hell from one end to the other, and every now and then all this water would come and you had to jump up onto a block before you got submerged, sometimes it was SO close...the final boss was scary as well, some evil witch..it also had a fun two player mode, but the game was shorter..
The second one was easy, but SO much fun, I think it something to do with mickey and donanld being mages of a sort, you get to control one of them, and go through all these cool worlds, I loved it so much, and the two player mode ROCKED..I played through it about a zillion times with both mickey and donald, and a zillion times on two player as well...
Ah, my first RPG...Ultima IV on the Sega Master System..I didnt know what I was doing most of the time, but it was SO much fun, id love to play it again properly...I also loved Sonic 1 and 2 on the Master System as well, although 2 was SO DAMN HARD, it had a Labyrinth Zone even harder than Sonic 1 on the Mega Drive ;_;
Most of my fav gams ever were on Sega as you can see, I played Nintendo a few times and it was only ever Mario games (Mario 2 and 3 were so fun, the first was too hard for me)
At some point YEARS later (How did I survive without my video games?) we got a Playstation, and the first games were Abes Oddysey and Tomb Raider, both games were utterly awesome, I loved Tomb Raider's later levels, like Atlantis and stuff..
At some point we got FFVII, my first actual RPG that I was old enough to know what I was doing..I loved it, and beating Sephiroth with my uberly underlevelled party was one of the hardest things Ive ever done, levels around 50, with Neo Bahamut the strongest attack (I never even used it in that battle, I spam casted Pandora's Box and Shadow Flare)..I was so scared during that battle, as every time Supernova was used, I had to do a healing frenzy, I ran out of Hi-Potions even, I basically had a little party after his defeat...although being at 1 HP and no items left, and seeing that scene where cloud goes down to meet Sephiroth, the whole time it was NO, NO, NO, I NEED TO HEAL...and seeing Omnislash...I was utterly speechless...
Another honourable mention is Pokemon Blue, I spent days playing that (Like most people) Theres nothing like the magic of playing through a Pokemon game like Red or Blue the very first time...every other game and playthrough just isnt the same..Defeating the Elite Four...with one pokemon left with only a few items and a few PP left for Tackle...wow, that was a great feeling
Other games worth mentioning are Silent Hill, the first time you play this....wow, so damn scary, the possessed worlds, and the sewers really had me scared, especially the possessed hospital and "Nowhere"...I found this the freakiest thing in the game...in the hospital you power the elevator to get to the second and third floors..you go to the second floor, and the first door you get too? "Its jammed" Third floor? "Its jammed" Ok, now where do I go....enter the elevater, thinking about going to the first floor..."WTF!! theres a button thats appeared out of nowhere that goes to the FOURTH floor?" I felt this feeling of dread when I saw that button...and sure enough, upon going to the fourth floor.....a hellish place, and i pressed the map button.."I dont have a map of this area" *shudder* Its the wierd things that freak me out in that game...sure the things like sudden noises and bodies falling out of lockers are scary, but its the other things....
Sorry for the long post, but this thread really brought up a lot of memories...
