Sonic and Herzog Zwei for the genesis were my gateway, then Guardian Heroes for the Saturn. Looking back, I think it was Warcraft II when I think I had achieved status as a "gamer", X-wing and Tie Fighter games. Then came Total Annihilation - got it for christmas in 7th grade, i didnt come out of the office until classes started again, and pretty much played it until i graduated high school. There were minor addictions up until I experienced the glory that is Descent: Freespace, and Freespace2; I cant remember the release dates of these games but theyre old and I still play random missions to this day.
Oh and Resident Evil 4, absolutely perfect game that must be played, I almost failed a couple of tests due to this game.
