I started with coleco & Atari, have had pretty much every system since.

Donkey Kong (Coleco)
Asteriods (Atari)
Contra & Super mario bros (NES - OG Nintendo)

Nowadays the PS lines are my favs, still game a bit but only when I can shake the controller away from the kids....lol

I've been playing Rambo on the NES and I keep getting lost, I've killed the giant spider boss but after that I couldn't figure out where to go. I also tried Platoon and the second stage is pretty weird, it goes into first person.

Yes, Bionic Commando was a major pain in the ass in terms of how it was played in terms of the dynamics.

I played bionic commando last night and it was a little hard at first because you can't jump. You have to use that grappler he has to get up on platforms.

Rollercoaster tycoon 2 was awesome.. if the happiness dropped, just pick/grab the frowning visitor and drown `em in the lake. Dead bodies tell no tales. :D

I started gaming in the early 90's, nearly 20 years ago. I have to say the old Genesis/NES/Sega CD/Turbo Graphx 16/3DO/PS1 Japanese role playing games had the most influence on my gaming choices. I prefer JRPG's and MMORPG's over anything else. I just play far too much for any other genre to be enough for me to take in.

1. Dragon Force - Saturn(This game is a forgotten gem, rarely experienced by most gamers because of the short-lived Saturn. The amount of effort they put into the jewel case booklets and disc art is incredible. Definately worth getting on an Emulator.)

2. Final Fantasy - NES

3. Lunar, the Silver Star Story - Sega CD

4. Chrono Trigger

5. Guardian War - 3do

Obviously there's hundreds more that influenced me, these are just the ones that really imprinted themselves into my brain forever.
