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 :)

In no particular order and with limited time thinking about it:

  • Kirby Super Star
  • Mario Sunshine
  • Sonic Adventure (1 & 2 if I may)
  • Guitar Hero
  • Zelda: Link to the Past

My first console was a NES I inherited, but the first console gotten for me was a SNES, and the first console I received new in box was a GameCube. PS2 underrepresented in this list although Guitar Hero was on there and that game was wildly important for getting me more interested in music in general.

GTA: San Andreas and NFSU2. But not for the reasons you think. They were the first games that I could play on my school laptop. It was super slow (amd A6 1450 Apu, 4 gb ram) and those ran perfectly fine.

Heh I played NFSUG2 on a laptop with 2 GB RAM. It shipped with Vista but ran great with XP.

2 GB was a ton back then! You could fit a whole OS into that, twice!

I actually have a pentium M laptop that I played NFSU2 on during that time. My sister would use my school laptop (we weren't allowed to use my home computer) and I'd use the pentium m machine. I wouldn't be surprised if the pentium m had better single core performance than the A6.

Edit: I found a few benchmarks and the 735 is somewhat faster in single core performance provided that the instruction set is supported.

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.

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

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

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

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

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. 🧓

Commodore Vic 20/Commodore64: Clowns, Omega Race, a space station game, Ghosts and Goblins, Zork, there was a Transformers game (looked fan made), Lode Runner, and about a dozen more

Half Life

Team Fortress Classic

Mecharrior 4: Vengeance

Ocarina of Time

Diddy Kong Racing

Those are the ones where I'd be a different person now without.

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 month ago

That's usually the case for me too, but these games in the screenshot are older than the ones I tend to see in other posts like this so this one doesn't make me feel as old.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Lemmings. Prince of Persia. Doom. Tomb Raider 1. Gran Turismo.

[–] 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

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

Pokémon Red, Pokémon Gold/Silver, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Call of Duty 4.

I played a lot of games and can list many more, however those are the ones off the top of my head.
