I also enjoyed playing Pokemon a lot............ Actually, I still do.

I could go on forever about console games of my childhood. So I will go for Arcade machines instead. The Simpsons Arcade, Virtua Fighter, Tekken, Time Crisis 2, House of the Dead, Radikal Bikers, and Sega Rally. Used to have great fun with all these machines at arcades when I was younger. Pity I never came across a Crazy Taxi arcade machine as I loved the game on my Gamecube. I also enjoyed playing Air Hockey and Pinball at the arcades, I remember the Addams Family Pinball Machine in particular to be quite fun Quite a pricey machine to buy now though!

There were no PC games when I was a kid, but I did have an Atari. I liked Space Invaders and Missile Command.

Also had a Commodore 64, and my favourite game on it was Zaxxon, which was this game where you fly a little plane and blow stuff up. Way ahead of its time, imho, as it featured isometric projection and seemed "3D" at the time.

But, video games weren't what they are today so they didn't really hold my attention much. More typically, I'd play cards, chess, dominoes, backgammon, that sort of thing. For a while I played D&D every week with some friends, but then I moved.

But my absolute favourite was playing hex-and-chit wargames with my uncle. These were incredibly complex board games - probably the most complex games to have ever existed before computer games - that were very popular in the 1970s and 80s among university students. My uncle had a collection of Avalon Hill titles, and in the summer, which we spent at the cottage, we'd play Anzio, Rise and Decline of the Third Reich, AfrikaKorps, D-Day, etc.

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, Gran Turismo 2, Mario Kart 64, Dune 2000, Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Incidentally that taste in games is better than most teenagers' haha. First person shooters are crappy.
