Commander keen
Wingnuts
Burn:Cycle
Myst
Duke Nukem (the first one but also 3D)
Wingnuts was a dumb fmv 'dog fighting' game, but when you beat it you could play it again with silly dialogue. I also remember when setting up the sound card the test audio was a guy saying 'ah veiners, just ze vay I like zem!' In a bad German accent.
Burn:Cycle was an fmv adventure game that I adored, it also came with a sound track cd and a little packet of leaflets based on in game stuff that was really cool. I still listen to the ost on occasion
Sims 3
Skyrim
Animal Crossing New Leaf
Cities: Skyline
Sims 2
So I don't really feel that old when reading the notes, I do however apologise to anyone having an age crisis reading this.
california games.
Flowers of crystal.
Tetris.
Daedelian opus.
Tetris.
ET because fuck me and fuck that game
Civ 1. So many happy memories.
The Secret of Monkey Island Master of Orion Dune Strike Commander Privateer
Man, it's hard stratifying games you care about, especially when you have a massive log of them that all impacted you in one way or another. There were a bunch of free Linux games that I have very fond memories of too, like Nexuiz, OpenArena, Abuse, etc. Also a bunch of weird niche games and demos, like One Must Fall and Food Fight and Fur Fighters. It's an impossible task, honestly.
Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards
Super Mario 1 & 3.
688 Attack Sub
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
Halo:CE would probably be the single most important, but it just missed my teenage years.
I played a lot of Atari and Collecovision as a kid, but games didn’t feel “important” until my family bought our first PC. After that, game consoles in general stopped being important. It was a new world of possibility.
Journeyman was amazing! Great story and pretty amazing 3D rendered graphics for the time.
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.
Super Mario Bros 3 Dark Reign Unreal Tournament Homeworld Gears of War
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.
While it didn't make my list, I played a crazy amount of NFSMW
Just five is so limiting:
Mario Kart Mega Man 3 Donkey Kong Country Jet Moto Final Fantasy VII
Even expanding to ten feels restrictive, alas:
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 The Neverhood Perfect Dark Seventh Guest Earthworm Jim
The DS wasn't the first gaming machine I ever had, but it was the one I had from ages 13-18 and the one where I cut my teeth.
My top 5 were (in no particular order):
Megaman 4
Donkey Kong 64
Paper Mario 64
Assassin's Creed II
Guitar Hero (a lot of them but mostly World Tour)
Starfox 64
Pokemon Snap
Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
Age of Empires 2
Halo (1-3)
Very similar to mine except I had Link's Awakening (instead of LttP) and FF7
I really miss Ragnarok Online. Some friends and I played on iRO while that was free for a bit and then later on euRO. The monthly fee was a significant fraction of my pocket money as a highschool kid but totally worth it
Morrowind Ocarina of Time Donkey Kong Country The Sonic chaos game on dreamcast Time splitters
In rough chronological order:
Starflyers
Mario Kart
Shadow cities
COD zombies (ios app version)
Minecraft
I'm stopping this list before high school, as I built my first PC and figured out emulation, so I started playing a lot more games.
-Pokemon Gold (OG)
-Metroid: Zero Mission/Fusion
-SSBM
-Battlefront II (The OG one)
-The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
xenogears final fantasy 7 final fantasy 10 super smash Bros melee Diablo 2
I can't limit it to 5.
I keep trying to, and it doesn't work, I end up leaving out something that I spent a massive amount of time on and also very strongly impacted my conception of what a game can be.
In no particular order
Command and Conquer Red Alert 2
Caesar III
Spyro
Metal Gear Solid
Gauntlet
Half life/2 should probably be on there, but it still doesn't feel like an "old" game, especially since I play them every year or two, they haven't left my computer since 2010, and honestly I can't see myself not playing it when I'm 60.
