So many memories this thread is bringing back!
I've also just 'lost' an hour of my time digging out the details of my favourite Arcade game of my youth - Grand Champion!! http://www.gamesdbase.com/game/arcade/grand-champion.aspx One of my favourite memories from growing up was walking into an arcade and sitting down at this to the disdain of all the boys who were then very impressed when I beat them all!

Pretty much the perfect video game.

Wow. Pokemon BLUE. I was HOOKED.
Having mentioned Track and Field earlier I remember one time where me and my mates were having a sleepover and playing the game with our backs to the lounge door. At about 4am we are all FRANTICALLY tapping the controllers.
Needless to say my mum comes down to see what all the noise is and see's the back of 3 or 4 young teenagers all jiggling their arms furiously and groaning.

I remember playing that for a whole day one winter with my cousin and finally completing it, what a feeling for an 11 year old

Unfortunately, it has not aged well at all.

The first game i was ever addicted to...
Dizzy! Truly a masterpiece. I've played it recently, the gameplay and 'story' are still unbelievable.
Wolfenstein 3d was the first 'great' PC game I ever played, the original great first person shooter.

It has aged terribly. Like, REALLY badly.
Half-Life was unveiled a few months after it was released, then that changed the world of first person shooters...
Edit: I can't believe that Half-Life coming up to 16 years old... It changed everything, there were no levels, everything was truly three dimensional, the sound design was amazing that the sound came from the source and the graphics were beautiful... is this an old game?

Streetfighter.
But I remember my "mate" who was in fact just a spoiled little tit used to invite everyone round his to play Streetfighter on his Sega. He never let anyone play on it though he used to just make us watch him play single player mode for ages. Until one day someone got so annoyed they pushed the whole lot onto the floor. The Megadrive survived but the forks on the cartridge snapped and his portable colour telly was just a weird red colour forever after. If you're reading this Daniel Taylor of Bracknell, you deserved it you fat, greedy shit.
