Back on the SNES I was pretty much all over the place: platformers, RPG's/action-RPG's, side-scrolling shooters, fighting games, and FPS's like Wolfenstien 3D and Doom. When I got an N64 my horizons shrunk some, as I mostly played first-party Nintendo games, true 3D FPS's, and RTS's on the PC. RPG's had pretty much fallen off the map, along with fighters and side-scrollers. I was pretty set with that group until the Medal of Honor games came out for PC, then I began to get heavy into FPS's and more action-oriented games. Now I'm back to my broad intake with old-school games (or ones of the old-school style), shooters (3rd and 1st person), fighting games, racing games, action games, hack-n-slash, survival-horror, music games, whatever.

Basically think an hour glass. Started playing a lot of genres, played less as I got older, then started playing a lot again around four years back.
