Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I had been through four consoles and five jobs before most of the games in the notes had come out.

My top five were virtually chiselled on stone tablets by comparison :)

I was in high school when I bought my first console, so it's pretty much just Landstalker and Phantasy Star IV.

[–] GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You really aren't.

The first one on my list was a game in the arcade, then a game on the Atari 2600 :)

[–] choya@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Damn, Atari 2600 looks so old. The oldest I have is nes kungfu. The sound effects are classic.

Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, Apex Legends, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (1 and 2) and Terraria. I'm not very old X)

[–] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Age of Empires II and Rollercoaster Tycoon, that's about it.

I was born in 1995, but didn't have a capable PC until my late teens so I was stuck with whatever ran on my win98 potato without internet connection. Great games though, still play them today

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

My cut-off date for "teen years" is the year you were born. 🧓

[–] chrisbtoo@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Off the top of my head:

  • Karate Champ II (arcade)
  • Pac-Land (arcade)
  • Gryzor aka Contra (Amstrad CPC)
  • Sorcery (Amstrad CPC)
  • Xenon (Atari ST)

Oh wait, Elite (BBC, Amstrad, and ST) — probably more so than Xenon.

  • Portal/2
  • Titanfall (and Titanfall 2)

to this day, Titanfall 2 is by far my favorite FPS game. nothing comes even remotely close

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Most important?

Morrowind.

I was already playing it, when a pack of dogs killed my two geese. One had a broken neck, the other had its guts spilling out.

I'm convinced that Morrowind helped me through my depression, and prevented me from becoming suicidal.

But I also like Drakan: Order of the Flame, Little Big Adventure 2, Dune 2, and Warcraft 1.

[–] bright_side_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And here I am trying to figure out what Child Youth Gap is lol I played through burnout 3 a year ago, it is soooo good still ❤️

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The gap between child and teen. Distinct time frames.

It so holds up. Blame that game for the pop punk flavor I love in music lol

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Patapon 2

Wizard101

Minecraft

Skyrim

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Pokémon, wow, final fantasy tactic advanced, harvest moon, civilization I guess ?

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

By pure numbers, mine has got to be GTA San Andreas since I only had a PS2 for the longest time. I think that might be why I kinda hate games now? Buying a new game and you get maybe a couple dozen hours if you're lucky kinda sucks. Oh it's just a campaign of like 9 missions? And the missions are pretty linear? idk man, might be worth like $10 but definitely not fullprice $60 or even half off $30.

[–] feddup@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

It's so hard picking 5 but:

Super mario bros Half life Metal gear solid Driver Grand theft auto 3

[–] FearMeAndDecay@literature.cafe 1 points 1 month ago

Hmm definitely Minecraft, Skyrim, and Sa2b. As for the other two… probably Town of Salem and Fantasy Life for the 3ds

I still play Minecraft, I played some modded skyrim last year (and got the oblivion remaster) and I literally got a steam deck primarily so I could play sa2b on it whenever I want. I’ve been loving the fantasy life sequel that just came out too. The only thing I don’t really play anymore is town of Salem bc the servers suck even worse now. So few players that you’re always stuck with racist trolls and shit

Basically, teen me had pretty good taste
