ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 เม.ย. 2017
- Someone asked me on stream what the most influential games I've ever played were so I thought I'd make this video and take a walk down memory lane with you guys talking about
super mario brothers, legend of zelda, pacman, everquest, world of warcraft, warcraft 2, final fantasy, and a few more :)
I talk about why these games meant so much to me and what was going on in my life at the time that made them so influential and important!

dude witnessed the entire history of gaming I luv him
D-Rabbit for
Boogs isn't the only gamer dinosaur that's still roaming around. Always remember, if it wasn't for us nagging our parents countless times daily for a new game, youngins like you wouldn't have the empire that exists today. So, you're welcome ;)
There are tons of us. We're not ancient. Hell, I still have all my own teeth!
I did the same thing in my generation for PS2 games
D-Rabbit for not really, it seems like alot people started gaming with the nes, but at the same time micro computers had thousands of games people don't know about in the U.S., but in the UK it was a different story, where micro computers games was the dominant way to play games.

"Big and round and eat pills... Omg im pac man" You know.. You havent really managed to make me burst out laughing, Boogie.Untill now. But damn that was fucking hillarious.
harkenrebirth you should catch his twitch streams. he's hilarious on it and has made that joke on there once or twice. lol
harkenrebirth he said . holy shit I'm Pac-Man
It wasn't that funny
Jimmy garoppolo #4-0 #2ndGOAT #HottestNFLplayer It's dark humor dude. I personally love dark humor. It's important to know the seriousness behind it. Still it's fun.
Jimmy garoppolo #4-0 #2ndGOAT #HottestNFLplayer yes tf It was 😂😂😂😂😂😂
While I was drowning in Greece I motivated myself to fight the waves by thinking that I could never again play GTA3 if I died.... not kidding.
Lol. Games keep me surviving life too
Alexander Bjerkvik looks like it worked 😁
Haha I always think that for the big releases and new consoles.
Alexander Bjerkvik daaaamn! Thats heavy bro! Glad you made it though!

Super Mario Bros 3
Starcraft
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Diablo 2
Halo
Morrowind
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Halo 2 was definitely THE game of my life.
best halo game ever.
Oh fuck yes
Halo reach first halo game and the best game
my first game was pong,not stopped since then.57 years old now still enjoy gaming
Tony Cookson That's Awesome!
Tony Cookson that's really cool!
Tony Cookson never stop please!
I can imagine this isn't what you meant but nevertheless my first impression was seeing someone write that they've played Pong for 57 years with the implication that they're a hardcore gamer... psychologically programmed to be tilted at that xD
Gregory Kanis
Gonna have to demonetize this one Boogie. There are swords in the background promoting violence..
Just wait untill you see Francis
I don't think that there are many who want to see Boogie boobs
SkiDooRydr I SAW POKEMON PRODUCT CARTOON VIOLENCE DEMONETIZE IT!!! lol
Essa Elmokdad what about francis' sister (aka boogies wife)
SkiDooRydr thats funny as shit lol
Not joking, I played minecraft every single day for about a year and a half when I was 14. I had such a great experience in that game. I met new friends, joined factions, raided other factions, created my own bases, and built just about everything you can think of. This game may as well have been an mmorpg with all the modded servers I played on. It was such a great time!
Hey boogie. Great video. I think we shared the same path in life. I have you by ONE month though, June 74. Started with PacMan (yes, I can still hear the sounds from when he ate dots on the Atari), moved on to SMB in the arcade. Mine was in a Godfather's Pizza and it was a stand alone machine. Moved on to Zelda from there. All nighters with friends. I didn't get into Final Fantasy, but played EQ2 and then my life was F'ed for MANY years to WOW. Thanks SO much for sharing and bringing back some nostalgia for us old timers.
a lot of people wouldn't understand playing a game everyday for years and having it "take over", but I do. Love you boogie its nice not feeling alone.
Mark Garcia me 2 , Diablo 2 was my game for that and later AoE 2. no regrets!
Mark Garcia Halo stole my teenage years from me and I don't regret it
Linus.O Diablo 2 ugh lost my career and family from that game addiction I
still playing wow 12 years running, no regurts(yes that's mispelled intentionally). Will always have a good time on here.
Mark Garcia he also realized that's it's unhealthy and refuses to do it unless there's an expansion. moderation in all things. one of you guys admitted you picked it I've your family and career. that's just wrong. edit. and just so there's no mistake, I also have a serious gaming problem. I manage to not shirk my work responsibility or my daughter that I raise alone, but more times than I can count, I was on a video game when I should have been helping with homework. we can all do a little better.
Star wars KOTOR saved me from some dark times in my life back in the day, when they first came out.
yeah me too that game was probably the brightest part of my schooling time
PhantomOfDarkness Undoubtedly one of my favorite games.
PhantomOfDarkness LOVE KOTOR!!!
Star wars in general saved my life and the KOTOR series only strengthened that bond I have with star wars.
PhantomOfDarkness Just imagine if Obsidion decided to make a new one... how amazing it could be... FUCK WE NEED A STAR WARS RPG GOD DAMNIT
Really interesting for me, as a 19 year old, to hear about people like you, the real OG gamers, who actually played the legendary old games like pacman and the first mario games
I was right there too back in the day, I'm only one year older than him. I started with Pong & Atari and then once we got to the NES & SNES I was addicted for life to gaming. I got to go to all those old school arcades back in the day. It sure was a lot of fun growing up when we did. I had the time of my life.
Awesome to hear! Meanwhile I grew up with an original Xbox, the first games I played was probably Ssx 3, and Burnout 3 takedown, and a few others
Well we all have a starting point. I modified my original Xbox so it now has all those old games I grew up on as well as all the old arcade games.
Oooh cool!
I still have my original Atari 2600, and my Tandy1000 computer. Those were the good ol days lol.
For me, it was:
Jak and Daxter: Precursor Legacy - Inspired me to figure draw as a kid because I loved the character designs so much
Fusion Fall - First MMO
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai - Introduced me to Dragon Ball Z, which introduced me to anime
Little Big Planet 2 - I loved the first game, but 2 got me really interested in game / level design
Fallout 3 - My first true RPG, and Bethesda game
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance - Made me more interested in comics and Marvel heroes which are now incredibly important to me
Mass Effect - Made me interested in science fiction as a genre
That feel when you played World of Warcraft for the first time. Good times.
Sōma Yukihira yes Best feel i Was like 10 or 11 When i played wow first time
Boogie, you look like you've been sniffing glue in the thumbnail.
I thought he looked like a cheeseburger walked by
He looks like the ice cream truck is coming....
Daniel May no it looks like he's been doing some hard core Gaming. 😎
I played WoW in the closed beta and for about (oddly enough) 7yrs after it. I at times would play just like you for 8+hrs a day everyday for long periods of time. I was also using it to work through emotional damage and it gave me a place to escape to where I could avoid some of the feelings that were normally at the forefront of my mind. I made many friends and some I am still friends with some 13yrs later, it clearly was an addiction but it had many aspects that were beneficial. It sure as shit beat what a bunch of my "real life" friends did, tons of drugs lol. Anyway, love you Boogie! Glad you've been able to work through so much and I'm SO SO SO SO excited to see you a year from your surgery. Gotta have my Boogie in 2027! :D
God I loved Everquest growing up. It truly made me feel like I was somewhere else. The music, the different locations, the raids, the people I met...great memories.
To this day, I still remember the first time I watched Francis raging at WoW and getting his account hacked.
I was also really addicted to the game, so I could really relate.
Great video as always.
it was the first video I had seen of his, have been hooked on his content ever since.
2002/2003 runescape > Current Runescape. Js. The stick figure combat hit home.
that combat still exists in OSRS (old school runescape)
Just grinding out on runescape, should have 85 smithing by tonight. Wanna be my miner slave for 10K gp an hour? I'll give you much more once I'm 99 and rolling in it.
Yes, Runescape is my most influential game ever. I'm playing it right now. Not Rs3, I play Old School Runescape. It's the shitt
any runescape from 2007 or earlier is dope but runescape from 2008 onwards is ass
@H. Comfy oh, you're one of those types of people
My first mmorpg was EQ1. Around 2000... for a couple years.... Then EQ2 came out and I was OBSESSED! To this day I run an EQ2 guild. I enjoy many other games but my heart will always be with EverQuest and EverQuest2. Whether it's Final Fantasy or Elder Scrolls or Star Trek Online or ANY game... I always remake my EQ2 character. She is my soul. These games that shape and change us will always be a part of us.
I'm a little younger so here are my 7:
1. Pokemon Emerald
2. ATV Offroad Fury 1 and 3 (Its a tie lol)
3. Spiderman The Movie Game
4. Sonic Heroes
5. Pokemon Platinum
6. Uncharted 2
7. Sonic Advance 3
Being born in 1997 those games were basically my childhood. I have so many fond memories of catching and battling Pokemon with my friends, beating up bad guys in Spiderman, launching off hills and exploring in ATV, and running through levels in Sonic, through which I discovered one of my favorite video game characters, Shadow the Hedgehog. My grandparents had an old NES that used to be my aunt's, so I also grew up playing Mario/Duck hunt, Super Mario Bros. 3, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and Crystalis. Thanks for the nostalgia trip Boogie! :D
"Holy shit I'm Pac-Man" 😂
The arcade machine was called the Nintendo Playchoice 10. We had one at our local roller rink.
Ellie Wheatley I think I played the mario game on that. The best one I played had metal switches to select something or other and they kept electrocuting me!
I remember how my parents always used to say that games would never get me anywhere, they'd never "do" anything for me, and so on... we've all heard it. But things like this really can change things for someone, change their entire life really... you never know. For me the list is:
Guilty Gear, this one changed EVERYTHING for me. Everything. Not only did it get me into an entire genre, but it also got me meeting lots of new people through playing it, and got me into cosplay and conventions, which led to the first time I ever travelled on my own (and as someone with a form of autism, that was a HUGE thing for me) which has now become a regular thing for me... no, not even "regular" now, I do it really often at this point. It's led to so much more than all of that, too... just thinking about it, I'm amazed at how much it changed for me. My life would be VERY different (and probably not for the better) if I had never found this.
Giga Wing: I do alot of bullet-hell games nowadays, or just hyper difficult games in general, and this is the one that started it. It's bloody easy for me now, but when I first played it, it seemed outright impossible. Surely nobody could ACTUALLY beat this thing, I thought. And then later, I tore through it and did beat it. It kinda showed me that with enough effort and confidence, anything can be done even if it seems ridiculous at first.
Baroque, on the Wii: Nobody's ever heard of this. But it's one of my favorites, and got me into an entire genre. It also eventually led me to games like Isaac, and along with the bullet-hell games, eventually led to my chance to finally participate in MAKING a game, something I'd wanted to do since I was a little kid. And then that led to finding a whole new hobby to get into, alongside all the game-related stuff, thanks to the money made from it.
Just off the top of my head, mine are as follows:
Adventure - Seeing it back in the day before computer games were a big thing really stoked my desire to be a programmer.
Might and Magic 2 - Began a lifelong obsession with RPGs
Everquest - One of the first times I'd been truly immersed in a computer game's world.
City of Heroes - The creativity in creating and defining my hero was unparalleled.
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Unique world combined with deep modding tools made it one of a kind
Mass Effect - I don't think a videogame has ever told a story as effectively as ME in my opinion.
My seven are:
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Fallout New Vegas
GTA San Andreas
Red Dead Redemption
Mortal Kombat
Life is Strange
Dishonored
Haha I have a very hard time deciding between fallout 3 and new Vegas
Runescape, playing for 12 years now
Brace110 this was my childhood game, I started in 2003 and played until 2010 or so, somehow I found myself back. I've been playing osrs for about 2 months now.
Brace110 2004-2010. 04-05 was fantastic time! Ahh the memories...
Definitely the greatest
Runescape never dies!!
xSitzes you never quit, you just take longer and longer breaks :p
Super Mario 64 was the first video game i ever played and what a game to start with! The second I picked up that N64 controller i was hooked and couldn't put the game down and immediately after playing that game i popped in Zelda: Ocarina of Time and I went from someone who was interested in video games to a full blown hardcore gamer.
The first video game and the ones after it are the games that have the most influence on you and by starting with these two games, i've been a gamer at heart ever since i was 3 years old. No regrets at all.
This video's old now, but I wanted to tell this story because of your EQ mention. My first experience with a game kind of like EQ was actually a MUD (multi-user text-based game) called MajorMUD on a local BBS.
This BBS was actually previously known for having a good number of phone lines (eight) and having "Game Connection", which would let you play games like DOOM and Descent multiplayer. Four-player, which was the max at the time, DOOM & Descent actually worked really well via the BBS. Anyway, one day I logged into the BBS and *no one* was in Game Connection. Everyone was in this game called MajorMUD, which, as I mentioned, was completely text-based. This *blew my mind* at the time, and I continued to not understand until I tried it. Once I tried it, I became rather quickly addicted. After all, MajorMUD was basically Everquest with fewer people and no graphics. It had monsters, quests, cities, grouping, etc. Hell, the text you see in those text windows in Everquest and WoW are pretty similar to what you'd see playing the MUD. When Everquest did eventually come out and I played it, I was pretty quickly addicted. I actually ended up playing for a long time with a friend from that BBS. Ah, memories... I'm just always amazed, looking back, at how a text-based game completely took over this community that had previously been playing games like DOOM and Descent.
90s boogie with denim jacket. so beautiful.
Redzombie 001 no one is beautiful in a denim jacket.
Took that to serious
Redzombie 001 a canadian tuxedo is no laughing matter
You made that EXACT Pacman Joke in a previous video LMAO
Lumpyrox nier or gravity Rush
Stories about boogie's life always make my day a little bit better. Such a deep person :)
Kingdom Hearts II was an amazing game that influenced me and my love for video games. When I first heard about it and what you could do by meeting Disney characters that's why I so wanted to purchase a copy for it for my PS2. I played it and I was just sitting there wondering to myself "When am I gonna meet Donald and Goofy?" But I surprisingly wasn't bored, I actually got invested in the story and the characters Roxas and what he was going through. It really opened my eyes. And also leveling up and gaining new abilities and synthesizing new weapons was something I learned for the first time as I was going along.
I am a huge gamer but I've only ever had an actual personal connection with a game, and that game is Runescape.
that has to be a joke
@@witwot61 Nope not a joke. I've LOVED and ADORED many games but the reason I said Runescape was a personal connection was because its the only game I've ever played where I've surpassed 1000 hours. It was a huge part of my childhood.
@@mynameisdudge that's kinda sad tbh
@@witwot61 Thank you. Wishing you good health :)
@@mynameisdudge sure weeb
Loved this video Boogie. Would love a part 2.
Kyle Hackley I would like a part 2 as well.
Final fantasy VII was THE game that turned me from a kid who played games sometimes into a gamer. That was the first time I realized that games could be more than a way to pass the time. They could be works of art, inspiring emotions and ideas that were previously unknown to me. The thought that I could form a real emotional attachment to a character (I bawled like a bitch when Aerith died) was so profound to me that it has strongly influenced who I am today. I love to write, I love to make my own little comics. If I EVER manage to recreate that sense of real bonding for another person with a character I've created that will be the pinnacle of my life achievements.
Sure, I'm down for part 2. As for me, my influential games:
1. Super Mario Bros - The first video game I've every played, and one of the very first images of my life.
2. Super Mario World - First game I beaten.
3. Goldeneye 64 - Had one of the best multi-player experiences of my life.
4. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Enlightened me about what video games really could deliver.
5. Suikoden II - One of my favorite RPGs that isn''t exactly a mainstream game.
6. BioShock - The game that influenced me to take up Ayn Rand's philosophy, which encouraged my life to do things for myself
7. Skyrim - One of the biggest games I've played in, and still wasn't bored after beating it.
being born in 1995, your looking at pokemon red/blue, crash bandicoot, yu gi oh forbidden memories, world of warcraft and the call of duty series
I changed fifa to wow, I play fifa all the time but I lost like 3 summers because of wow.
Pokémon Blue anyone?
Definitely cause it's not my most favorite but it was an astronomical influence on getting me into games. Can't really be overstated
“ Optional Tourette’s “. I died. 😂
My top 10 games
1. Pac-man (for obvious reasons)
2. Donkey kong 64
3. Super smash bros. 64
4. MarioKart
5. Legend of zelda
6. Minecraft
7. Halo
8.mario party
9. Banjo/kazooie
10. Pokemon
If you care
Secret of Mana
Metal Gear Solid
Command & Conquer Generals
Final Fantasy X
SimCity 4
Anno 1503
Not bad titles to be fair 😉 although where C&C is concerned it has to be Red Alert 2!
Rob Day such truth in that statement. I wanna learn how to mod it
Final Fantasy X :)
Generals was so good
CoC Generals was the first game I ever played at the age of 6, incredible. Best one in the series.
sometimes when life gets tough i just think, someday there will be a new Elder Scrolls Game.
It was the NES era for me. Super Mario Bros, Legend of Zelda, Kirby's Adventure, Blaster Master, Startropics and more. Brought up some good memories with this vid Boogie.
I used to play a lot of Command and Conquer when I was a kid, also Spyro and Crash Bandicoot on the old playstation 1, ahhhh those were the good days, I used to think Spyro had awesome graphics and that it couldn't get any better, and I actually find myself thinking now that the older games are generally better then the newer ones, maybe they have better stories to them? or maybe it's just because of nostalgic reasons i dont know anyhow these games you listed boogie were awesome I never heard of Ever Quest before though but must of been alright! lol anyway boogie I love you man I recon you have the truest heart and a kind personality man! keep up just being you dude love your videos :)
The immortal Boogie shall reign forever! Hail Boogie!
Hail boogie!
Ultima online was my everquest
ho god. I spent so much time in Ultima underworld 1&2. Not to mention utlima 7.
Same :) It seems its normally UO or Everquest that someone played, because they came out the same time.
Kinda of brings me a little joy to know that Boogie's story is so much like my own, even down to the games. I have a few differences, but they're in my top list because of them being so memorable, or having a special story attached to them. I definitely would put Warcraft and FF7 like Boogie. Super Mario World (SNES), Quake (PC) and Age of Empires (PC) would probably round out my games.
I think mine are this:
Super Mario World (SNES) - Lots of personal stuff with this one
Quake (PC) - My first competitive FPS where I played other people (Gamespy servers!)
Age of Empires 2 (PC) - Not my first 4X Strategy game but the only I played online forever and met some of my very first online friends (Shout out to IceD if you're out there bud!)
Xwing vs Tie Fighter (PC) - Another first for me was becoming the commander of a fighter wing for a clan. I helped lead the clan and was the lead pilot in battles.
Gears of War (Xbox) - My first Xbox game, bought it with the settlment I got for suriving a nasty car wreck. Got to play with Gamespy editors before the site was closed down.
World of Warcraft (PC) - My umpteenth MMO but one of my favorites, many friends were made, and lost. I'll remember the friends and the late nights on chat more than boss fights.
Final Fantasy 7 (PS) - This game is the game i think about when people ask me what's my favorite game of all time, what game is special to me, etc.
Loved this video Boogie, it's great how the old games all have these memories associated with them. A few of mine would be:
1. Super Mario Bros 1 & 2 (NES) - I still remember my brother getting a NES for Christmas when I was 3 years old, and I had no idea what a video game even was. These games were life changing.
2. Nights into Dreams (Saturn) - first game on my own first console that I felt a bond with, put effort into playing, and finished. It was tough as shit and one of those games I had to consult with the school playground for help - and fuck yeah I finished it.
3. Resident Evil (PS) - I learned about this game in 1996 when I was 9 or 10, and I think it was the first sincere hype I ever felt about a game, and it lived up to it. Just that cartoon imge of the Tyrant in some magazine, and there was no going back. Every story I had to write in English class for the next few years would be based on this game.
4. Dark Souls (PS3) - in my early 20s I fell out with games and took a long break from them. Dark Souls pulled me back in with all that childhood excitement and obsession I'd been missing.
Nice one!
I had the Pac-Man fever too. lol
I thought that picture of you looked like Gabe Newell xD
7:15 lol. Classic Larry
I was born in '81. The first time I saw Mario 1 was in '87 in a toystore with my parents and brother. I had an Atari 2600 at this point so this blew me away. Thing is, they had kept the NES and controllers in a locked box so you couldn't actually play. What they didn't consider was that the hole where the cables went through was big enough for me to fit my hands through so I was able to grab the controller and play the game. It was magical. We weren't well off at all so there was no way my dad was gonna buy me one. The next day I was home alone until the evening and I couldn't help but think of the game so what I decided was to hop on my bike, ride my 6 year old ass to the town 10 miles away where the toystore was and play the game again. In this day and age, that seems unthinkable. Of course I never told my parents what I had done. Eventually it did take until christmas '88 to finally get my own NES.
Super mario bros, Contra, Zelda : A link to the past, Earthbound, Secret of mana, Final fantasy 6, World of warcraft till Lich king, Guild wars 2 and now Zelda : BOTW
Mega man 1-2-3-4-5-6, X, X-2, X-3
Jason Labbé yay secret of mana!!!
This list is fake. Where the fuck is COD? Jk love you boogie
Thanks
Honestly COD 4 was one of the greater gaming experiences I had. That game was really good.
CoD4: Modern Warfare is the BEST CoD and I'm only ten years old
James Till nope can't agree with ya waw was the best
but cod 4 was the most important to me though
I hear yah boogie, I did the same thing with everquest. In fact, I had a friend who lived with me at my parents house ( i was about 15 when I started playing) and I would play all day while he slept, and he would play all night. (I quit school to play this game, not proud of that but it's true). Annnd I went back for more playing for several years pretty hard on project 1999 emulated server! Some of my greatest gaming memories are from everquest. I legit tear up sometimes recounting them.
Shoot three years later? Pffft this type of thing is still relevant.
My top 7:
1. Curious George for the PS2, first game I ever played
2. New Super Mario Bros DS, got me to buy my first system because up until then I had shared with the other members of my house
3. World of Warcraft, got me to be more social online and irl
4. Various COD games ranging from MW2 to BO3, helped shape my personality (for the better)
5. Skyrim, really got me hooked on open world fantasy games
6. FFVII, FFVII
7. D&D (yes it counts shut up), made me more of a creative person and also helps me interact with my friends more often
skyrim is personaly the most influentual games for me it saved me from the gips of depression,anxity etc
My seven are:
Donkey Kong 64
Super Mario 64
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
Pokemon X & Y
Final Fantasy X
Xenoblade Chronicles
Truly Outrageous Jewels donkey kong 64
I'm working on a let's play of Donkey Kong 64 if you want to watch.
Play Pokemon Sun, you won't regret it
You should branch out from just Nintendo and try out some games made by other companies such as KH or OW
I played Moon when it came out and I loved it. I just like X & Y a little more.
When you were talking about SMB and seeing it played on an arcade machine two things popped in my head of what you may have seen. There was the PlayChoice 10 which had 10 NES games you can choose from. You put in X amount of quarters in to play the game which had a timer and when the timer ran out the system reset to the main menu. It had two monitors where the main monitor was the game and the other monitor had the list of games and then if my memory serves me correctly it had a leader board during gameplay?
Another NES related arcade machine I can recall was "vs Super Mario Brothers" and there was a sitdown version and a stand up version. I remember seeing these in bars. I only seen 3 games in my travels one being SMB. The others were Goonies and Donkey Kong Jr. There may have been more but those were the common ones when i saw that type of machine.
"Hill's Has the Hits! LPs, or Cassettes!"
I remember when fights broke out, there, over Cabbage Patch Kids, for girls, and over Lazer Tag, for boys.
That was the first time I ever saw violence over getting a hold of Christmas gifts that were under-distributed. Thankfully, we still had NES Classic, this past year, and will have SNES Classic, to keep things going, 32 or 33 years later.
Alex the Kidd,
zombies ate my neighbours
ocarina of time,
pokemon red,
Mario 64,
GoldenEye,
digimon world one
Zombies Ate My Neighbors. WOW I totally forgot about that game!!! HAHA
Lol, I'm playing EQ on my personal emulated server as he talks about EQ
Project 1999!
I've spent over 15 years of my life gaming. Without socialization. I would play my playstation and ps2 & the sims but never an mmo where u actually meet people. But all those years will one day pay off.I honestly don't know how but I have this strange feeling it's going to all be worth it.
As someone who waas a small child during the sudden expansion of gaming in the late 80's and early 90's, I can vibe with this. Mario was the first game I ever played and beat. At the age of 3. My father got it when he was in the military to play it in his off time, and I played it when he was on base. And got good lol. Mario Kart would be the game that I had gotten amazing at and consistently beat my father at which subsequently made him quit playing. But Doom sunk it for me. I became obsessed with Doom and then Diablo and Diablo 2. I got a cheap Dell when I was in middle school to play those games. And finally the final nail in the coffin and my absolute favorite game of all time, Counter-Strike 1.6. I miss those days...
hi Uberwolf, its Solax

OMG BOOGIE!!! WE BOTH PLAYED SUPER MARIO IN ARCADE AND PLAYED EVERQUEST 1!!! HOLY CRAP I LOVED EQ!
Cliff Bell Jr. You can still play on project 1999 for free, classic EQ - first 3 expansions only, still a popular game and lots of fun
LOL Mistmoore had the realest trains hahaha
I still play EverQuest to this day and just bought the most recent expansion for the 6th time today as you have to buy it once for each account.
For me
it was back in 1994 I was 7 years old and my first console was the snes.
1 - Donky Kong Country 1, I must of played it for hours and hours.
2 - Mario Kart, this was the game what got me in to racing games
Then in 1996 I got my second console for Christmas and it was a ps1, the graphics for the time was amazing going from a 2D snes to a semi 3D console.
3 - my first game for my PS1 was Final Fantasy 7 I was obsessed with this game and still to this day i still am, over the past 20 years I most of clocked hundreds of hours and it's still one of those games still to this day I truly enjoy, after all this time.
4 - Gran Turismo 1 was the first racing game, what I played and felt like I was driving a real car, I enjoyed the so much I got a steering wheel for it.
5 - This is probably the game what got me back in to game, I must of been 20 or 21 years old and I was finding I was not enjoying game as must as I use to or finding games a disappointing or the same, but when mass effect for the xbox 360 came out, I found myself drawn back to playing games again like when I got Final Fantasy 7.
Back in the early 90's I found a love for Arcades games like Galaga not the ripoff Galaxian (kind of the Mega blocks vs Legos) and no there not the same. Galaga influenced me heavily in my youth with its sound effects of the blasters, alien ships, and title music along with the challenging patterns your forced to memorized to win. Galaga was the game to geek out on. one thing I remember is losing a life on by having your ship get captured and when you get it back you feel immortal with the double ship blasters. I remeber ever time it was re-released on Nentendo, Playstation, and even pc I had to have it and spent days not eating or sleeping till I got a grove going and the family pet tripped the power cord and had to start over on wave one after making it to wave 300.
WoW most influential game of my life, and FUCK WOD expac it ruined it for me and now I can't play legion because WoD made me burned out. I know I'm missing a lot hopefully the next expansion after legion will be as good so I can get back more addicted than ever :p
Timelost
Dude, I know exactly how you feel.
legion is so amazing tbh lol
ive played WoW since vanilla, left during Mist, came back near the tailend of WOD, Legion is the best xpac to me. More fun then WotLk in my opinion.
Voidstalker123 don't make me miss it even more :'( I can't get back because as said I'm really burned out from WoD there was literally nothing to do after mythic HFC it was really annoying but I'll get back hopefully in future expansions or if legion continues for longer future patches
Hello Boogie you are best :) :) :)
When I was growing up it was Donkey Kong, Galaxy, Space Invaders, Joist & Pac-man & Mrs Pac-man. Loved them all. And oh chorus Air Hockey, Pingball, pool. Those I know are not video games but they shaped my life big time.
Hey Boogie, I just noticed that we are born the same year..Grats for the awesome 74 :P
First console for me that got me in to gaming was an Atari 2600, I was so sick most of my childhood so my dad bought me that console, and after that I was hooked, cant remeber the game I played the most, but I can still remeber the grafics :)
And after that I went over to nintendo and Snintento and then to ps1 and so on.
But I got a comendore 64 and a few games that really had an inpact was "Wings, Giana sisters, Law of the west,, ik+, barbarian,. Then came the amiga, and what a bump up in grafics that was with titals like "another world, Defender of the crown, Moonstone, Loom, it came from the desert, the secret of monkey island" I know I have forgotten alot of the games I played but these are some of them, and these are just until I got my first ps1.
My list
Crash bandicoot
Dynasty warriors 2
Skyrim
PAC man
Blockbuster
PES 2004
Battlefield 3
*Halo 3* for me
Yep, the first was crazy revoltion, the 2cnd they did it again, but the 3rd man... LEGENDARY multiplayer.
For me, all the others after that were a little less good
Saaaammme
My childhood was largely influenced by video games. My earliest memories of my dad are playing together on his Nintendo 64 when my mom went to work. We used to play goldeneye, Mario kart, and many others. I used to get up every Saturday morning and I would setup the Nintendo 64 and play games for hours until someone got up, some of the best memories of my life.
One Saturday morning, I woke up, as normal, and went downstairs to setup the n64, and it was missing. I immediately called my dad at work, who after questioning me on why I was up at 5:00 am, he told me he didn't know where it was. When he got home, he sat down 6 year old me, and told me that money was tight and he had to sell the n64. I was crushed.
Here is my list.
Super Mario land 2
Donkey long '94
depthcharge
Mario kart 64
pac man
Space invaders
Ocarina of time
You're the best Pacman ever, Boogie
I am 15, my Dad has a super NES. I actually really enjoy playing a lot of games on it, so they must just be really really good games. XD
Or I am easily entertained. To be fair, I am playing them with my siblings and we are laughing at the butts on the backs of the characters in Double Dragon every time they climb a ladder. I do play all of the Mario games by myself however. I have not been able to beat the game without using a cheat, like the warp zone. I could never really get into Legend of Zelda because it is really difficult, and every time I open it, I die immediately. I will give it another try. XD
The first game I played was actually Pacman on my Dad's NES, but he didn't let me play it enough to get hooked. I was like 4. Then I played this computer game about the Wizard of OZ for a really long time and beat that game like 20 times before my mom took it away from me and gave it to my Cousin because she thought I was obsessed. (I was definitely obsessed. It was like magic. I was 5) The really *GAME CHANGING* thing for me was the Wii. My Dad got that thing, and I saw him playing it and I was just amazed. It was the coolest thing. I finally managed to get him to let me play it, I was 10, and I played Super Mario Bros New. And I was obsessed. Every day after school, I would come home and play that game until I beat another world. To this day, I still know every single secret and cheat. That definitely changed my life. Some other favorite obsessions were paper mario, Super mario galaxy, Castle miner and then Minecraft. My journey has not been alone, very much with my brother and sister. I fear I will never be able to move out of the house because they make up much of my life. Probably too much of my opinion on things.
I’ve owned a Nes for like two or three years now and I’m fifteen, i love it omg
love ya boogie
I was taking a sip of my water when you said "Oh-shit, I'm pacman..." and I spit it all over the monitor.
If I had to pick 7:
1. Sonic
2. Mario
3. Assassin's Creed
4. Prince of Persia
5. Burnout
6. Grand Theft Auto
7. Bomberman
Halo 3 got me really into gaming. That was a damn fun game
Every 2000s kid has a special place in his heart for gta sa. I will not forget it even if I get alzimhers I kid you not.
I'm not a 2000s kid but agree with you about gta sa.
My seven are:
Command and Conquer: Generals - First PC game I ever played at the age of 6
Medal of Honor (The First One) - First shooter I ever played at the age of 6
MW2 - First online game, got it when I was 12, my favorite COD, had amazing memories
WaW - Zombies haunted me, Campaign was incredible
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
GTA 4 - First Grand theft game I played
Forza Motorsport - First racing game, loved the car customization mechanics
As Playstation gamer I never played Final Fantasy, untill this day it's one of those series I hear and read about but never played. For me however, Metal Gear Solid was everything and I played every game from the series I could get my hands on, it's a big part of my life. And I collect as much as I can about it...but not MGS Survive, MGS "died" when Kojima was kicked out of Konami. Still hate Konami to this day, nothing good about them anymore.
Another great video again Boogie, here's me waiting for a part 2 by the way! And the other 6 that were a big part untill now:
Bioshock
Destruction Derby
Dragon Age
Fallout
The Elder Scrolls
Socom US Navy Seals (especially 2)
boooooooogieeee play nier automata please
Boogie do you play Yu-Gi-Oh?
If you haven't you should get into it, it's really fun.
Even with the upcoming Link mechanic?
I'd say so. I've never considered the Link Summoning to be "bad" I have just considered it "different" like when Synchro and XYZ were introduced. Granted, this is probably the biggest shakeup in the format since the game's release but hey you gotta evolve and move forward. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into my first Link Deck once they're available :D
A summoning mechanic that severely hurts the playability of a lot of existing decks is bad no matter what pros it may have
Whether it's "bad" or not is completely subjective. Even with the argument made that it is factually bad for extra-deck based decks doesn't work because I know of a lot of people who're excited to integrate the Link Monsters into their decks to ramp things up a bit. Don't get me wrong, I can understand the frustration of the kind of players who spend a heap of money on a deck just to learn that in a few months it's not gonna be good enough, but that in itself doesn't make the mechanic objectively bad.
Besides, once you look into it, Link Summoning does not really cripple a whole heap of decks, it just adds one extra step in your plan for victory. A lot of people are figuring out crazy Link Combos already which'll allow Extra-Deck heavy players to go nuts like they normally would. The only major thing is that with the EXDeck being capped at 15 you will have to make room for Links, but other than that it's no big deal. Again though, I can understand the notion of spending more money on your deck is not a fun one for some people
The Link mechanic is a disaster for Extra Deck based decks. Decks that don't rely on it or only need 1 extra deck monster at a time won't be bothered by it but decks that rely heavily on it to win games will takes a serious hit and are forced to use link monsters to be even playable. Unlike the previous summoning mechanics that added more variety to the game without hurting the previous summoning mechanics, the new rules around link monsters limits that variety and hurts the summoning mechanics before it. Link monsters by themselves add the consideration of monster zone placement to the game through links which I see as a positive thing but restricting the summoning of extra deck monsters to a single zone which can only be expanded by using a link monster is where Konami screwed up big time. The first thing I heared was that it's designed to slow down the game which has already been proven wrong by Jeff Jones. Link summoning does not slow down the game as people would have hoped for, adds more complicated rules to a game that is already difficult to fully understand demotivating potentially new players from learning the game. When you look at it how it's been set up the Link mechanic and the master rule update to the game are nothing more than corporate greed, introduce a new summoning mechanic with new rules that forces people to play it if they want to play the extra deck so they have to buy all those new cards in order to continue playing. Right now the OCG has those new cards and rule update and currently decks that don't rely on the extra deck are beeing played, also due to the lack of proper Link cards and support but you can bet on it that Konami will break their new cash cow to make it the best deck (with an added banlist)
I love the fact that background music from Warcraft II is used during pet battles in WoW. So much nostalgia.
I'm a tiny bit younger than you, so in my case:
Super Mario Bros, i was 4 years old and competing against my father to see which one could go the farthest in the game
Zelda Links Awakening, first Zelda i ever had (later a friend bought a SuperNES, so i bought 40 of his NES games for like 5$)
Rock'n'Roll racing, the game that made me very competitive
Secret of Mana, AKA the fake Final Fantasy led me to Final Fantasy VII
Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun made me a jerk, sadistic, waiting for my friends to be proud of their stuff and blow it up.
Star Wars Galaxies, i spent so much time on it, roleplay made me understand to not trust people on internet
Mass Effect, just as epic as getting intimate with an alien specie.
If I had to pick my most influential games, I'd have to say:
1. Galaga on the NES, my dad and I would play it all the time
2. Wave Race 64
3. Super Mario 64
4. Test Drive Off-road 2, my first PC game
5. Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit, the first game I realized I could mod.
6. SOCOM II and 3, I spent many years of my life on the SOCOM games. I was the king of paintball for a whole summer.
7. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, I spent so much time coming up with my own stories after I finished that game, and the four pages of cheats were one of the most amazing things I've experienced in video games to this day.
Mario Bros was iconic. There's not a gamer who grew up in the 90's who wasn't defined by their obsession to finish Mario. But also Circus Charlie and Battle Tank for me.
When it comes to PC gaming: Diablo 2, Sacred, Borderlands, Call of Duty (the very first one)
For me it tracks the different stages of my life: Final Fantasy 1, Zelda 1, Zelda Link To the Past, Final Fantasy 7, XCom Terror From the Deep, GTA Vice City, World of Warcraft.
Mine was Sonic the Hedgehog 1. I was a baby and I saw my mom play Sonic 1 on the Sega Genesis and every time I saw Sonic, I smiled. Every time I heard the Sega jingle or had it sung to me, my butt would be asleep. I was born in 1998 so I am still a scrub. WWE and Dragon Ball clinched me into the realm of fighting games. Bejeweled is something I go back to because it made me get a interest and appreciation for music in video games back then.
A lot of games have had a huge impact on me. I can not name them all lol. Some of them are games like Super Mario Bros / World, Ninja Turtles for Sega, Sonic 1 and 2, Goldeneye, The World is Not Enough, Duke Nukem, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, Metal Gear Solid (Pretty much all of them), The GTA trilogy for ps2, The Warriors, and one of my favorite games of all time, if not my favorite is Star Wars Knights of the old Republic....I know that is quite the list, but it is a lot bigger than that trust me lol. So many great games, through out my childhood, and still to this day at the age of 28. I have played games all the way back to the Atari 2600 all the way up to PS4, and tons of PC games. Gaming is my biggest hobby, and I am very passionate about it.
My parents had an NES before I was born and when I was about 3 or 4 I got to play it and I remember the first game I ever played on the system, Iron Tank, I was terrible and didn't get very far, then I played LoZ on the NES and though I was young and didn't really understand what to do, I ran around and swung my sword at everything. Consoles have been a huge part of my life ever since, but if I had to pick one game which influenced me above all else I would say Pokemon Yellow. I have no idea how many sets of batteries I went through playing that game but playing pokemon was my everything for the following year. I took my gameboy with me everywhere and somehow it survived all the times I dropped it. Still have it and Yellow to this day, occasionally I put a set of batteries in it and power it up for old times sake.
This was really nice to watch and interesting because I've only played one of the games mentioned! I got into video games pretty late and when they were hitting their stride so I love hearing about people who were alive when games like Pac Man came out.
Also got me thinking what my picks would be... probably some of the following...
Super Mario 64
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Age of Empires
Diablo II
Halo
Conflict: Desert Storm
Counter Strike
Star Wars: Battlefront
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Fable
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty
Uh oh... I could probably add more...
Games that have changed my life: WoW (of course), Fallout 3/NV/4, KOTOR, SWTOR, The Elder Scrolls series, Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Conker's Bad Fur Day (I still taste macaroni and cheese whenever I think of playing that game), actually there's way too many games for me to be able to remember them and list them here.
