May not seem like long ago but I am still in high school. But wow it has already been 8 years since then... This is probably the game I have played the most of all, I think I have the most hours on that of all the games I played when I was smaller.
I also played this quite a bit...

These might also be noteworthy...

I have always been an avid overall Nintendo fan, since I was very young. It was not that long ago that I was introduced to PC gaming. Although I did find it odd that my parents bought me a GBA when the DS was just around the corner (or already came out, I do not remember). I cannot blame them too much though, they did not grow up with video games and even as adults were not that familiar with them.
I think it went like: Both Gamecube and GBA around 2005, Wii around 2007, then DSi around 2008.
But yeah, mostly Pokemon and Megaman, action RPGs. Some classic Nintendo franchises in there, like Mario and Kirby.

My dad has always had a broad library of games, I mostly played all the ones that he had because I was always watching him play them.
Alot more than these but I'd be here a while posting them all.

To name a few. Also I'm pretty sure that Harry Potter game was made for the Gameboy Color, not the smaller Advance cartridge. I'd go look but someone broke into my car and stole all of my Gameboy shit a few years ago, I lost everything :(

Donald Duck Quack Attack was the shit back then. We had this club thing at school where you could stay until your parents could come pick you up. There was a computer there that we could use to play our own games, and I brought Quack Attack there one day. Pretty much everyone wanted to play it all the time. Later on I got a Nintendo DSi and played Pokemon and Mario with my friends.
Though Ratchet and Clank is probably the most influential game to me. I really liked it and played it all the time with my cousin but my school friends wouldn't get interested in it because CoD was starting to become cool and my parents didn't want me to play violent games like that. They also refused to buy me a PS3 which meant that I couldn't continue the R&C series.
Back in my day we had to use MSDOS to boot up games from a floppy disk

Is it bad that I'm trying to guess people's age by when games came out?

I played the hell out of the first game and actually liked it, but I guess that was just me being an idiot kid.
Let's go WAY back.

That Donald Duck game was a bitch, you couldn't go backwards on the Game Gear. It also took 6 AA batteries and they didn't last long. :v:
I even had [url=https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lBz7Dhot_to/maxresdefault.jpg]this[/url] thing for it, it was kinda cool not gonna lie. I need to see if it's still laying around here somewhere.
