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 :)

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.

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

  • Unreal Tournament

Don't remember which game specifically, but the moment when you're escaping out if the bowels of a living planet is unforgettable. Also the game is overall kinda creepy, I had hard time playing it lol.

  • Borderlands 1/2

More towards my mid-teens, found about borderlands. Played it through and through, found great people in borderlands forums, it introduced me to so many good songs that are at the top of my playlists to this day. Two very great games.

  • TF2

Speaks for itself. There will never be a game remotely close to how good TF2 was. Even TF2 itself.

Also some honorable mentions:

  • A strategy game where you play as a mech that goes nuclear when destroyed, name is long forgotten sadly
  • I'm Going In 2
  • Hitman Silent Assassin
  • Counter Strike 1.6/Source

And only recently I discovered World of Warcraft, specifically Wrath of the Lich King. Don't really have anyone to play with, but sometimes it's fun tanking for the entire group of randoms. I really enjoy tanking, when I know where to lead the group to lol.

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.

  • Populous - The Beginning
  • Command & Conquer - Red Alert 2
  • Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2
  • Super Mario 64 DS
  • Europa Universalis III

I think at least. Mario Kart DS also ranks highly of course, so does Team Fortress 2 and Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. GTA SA/IV, Pokémon Diamond, Wii Sports, Super Mario Galaxy. I gamed a lot as a kid/teenager so there's plenty that influenced me.

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.

  • Titanfall (and Titanfall 2)

  • Morrowind
  • Harvest Moon 64
  • Pokemon Silver
  • Myst
  • Super Smash Bros 64/Melee/Brawl (I played what was latest)

  • Columns (played with my mom, she fucking loved that game so much she’d leave the console running between playtime to save her progress)
  • Sonic spinball
  • Golden axe/street fighter (both)
  • Comix zone (this one even influenced my music tastes because it came with a CD - the first cd I ever owned. Still have it.)
  • Dominion (now abandonware, similar to StarCraft but with laser fences and shit)

All of these were SNES/genesis other than dominion which was pc.

Whatever hockey game I had on genesis gets an honorable mention. It’s the only purely sports game I’ve ever played and liked.

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.

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I can only think of 4 big ones.

HellMOO, based on LambdaMOO, a text based game/roleplay/sandbox engine.

Blockland, a Lego kind of game about building with much more on top (like how Minecraft is a building game with more to it)

Zelda Majora's Mask / Twilight Princess.

GTA San Andreas (Multi Theft Auto / SA multiplayer mods)

Maybe something like Creatures. I still think of those games.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Star Ocean 2, FFVII, Chrono Cross, Legend of Dragoon, Resident Evil 2.

Honorary mention for literal every ps1 game.
