childhood game

I grew up with Donkey Kong Country, Pokémon (Gen III), Plok!, Rayman 2, RollerCoaster Tycoon, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, and of course Super Mario World.
Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country 2 were the first games that I played and the only ones that stuck with me all the way to where I am now! :3
SMW is what let Mario become my favourite game series and DKC2 inspired my love for chimpanzees hehe. I'm grateful for both!

Unconventional answer, but when I think about childhood video games of mine, Fantastic Contraption is the first thing that comes to mind. But I also really liked Wii Sports, and Super Mario Bros. 3 after my brother bought it from the Wii's virtual console.
Most of my big video game memories come from games I played in my early/mid teenage years, namely:
- Persona 3/4/Q
- Final Fantasy 6
- Chrono Trigger
- Terranigma
- Aquaria
- Xenoblade Chronicles
Even Super Mario World, I didn't *really* get into until I started spending a lot of time on this site.

I grew up with a Sega Genesis before ever playing SMW, so Sonic The Hedgehog 1, 2, 3&K are big nostalgia hits for me. I mostly played SMW at a friend's house when I visited, but later discovered this community and got more into it as I became involved in ROM hacking. My absolute favorite childhood game has to be an old Genesis ARPG title, Landstalker: The Treasures Of King Nole.
My very first video game was either Super Mario World, or the first Kingdom Hearts. I don't recall which was the first, but that's where it started and, I suppose, set up my taste in games for years to come! Other games I spent much of my childhood playing were Super Mario All-Stars, the DKC trilogy, the Army Men games, Toontown Online, Super Mario Galaxy and the first three Paper Mario games.
Kind of a boring answer considering they're famous SNES games, but Yoshi's Island and Kirby Super Star were both really important to me growing up
Check out my site! It's got a bunch of projects I've worked on, including homebrew and a virtual world about collaborative map building that's RP focused.
I grew up playing almost every game, including Sonic, before playing SMW.
Sonic 1
Sonic 2
Sonic 3 and Knuckles
Ristar
Nights into Dreams
Super Mario Bros
Donkey Kong Country and Pokémon
These were the games that made me feel nostalgic.

I was all over the place gaming wise as a kid. The first video game I ever played was one of those Plug-N-Play type things they used to make in the 2000s that had classic arcade games on it. If memory serves correctly mine had Ms. Pac Man, Mappy, Galaga, Xevious (my favorite of them all) and one other game I can't seem to recall. At some point my dad told me about Galaga 88 (which is just Galaga but 5x better) and I really wanted to play it so he wound up setting me up with a Turbografx-16 emulator of all things and somehow got the rom files for every game released on the console in the US. So not only was I playing Galaga 88 but I was also playing tons of other shooter games released on the console (my favorites being Blazing Lazers, Twinbee and Parodius) as well as other obscure games and even ports of classic games like Street Fighter II.
At some point my family was gifted a Wii for Christmas and my love for gaming exploded even more. I was gifted Pokemon Battle Revolution along with it but then my family and I started getting into the virtual console which is how I was introduced to Mario for the first time. My mom and I would play SMB3 multiplayer all the time and it was great. From there I played all the classics like SMB1 and 2, SM64 and of course SMW.
At some point after that Minecraft came out and I played it with all my friends but then I started getting into my teen years which was a whole other playing field of RPG's, Touhou and obscure SNES titles I found thru this forum.

My first exposure to TV video games was SNES with DKC1 and Super Mario All-Stars, and didn't play Super Metroid until sometime in high school. A lot of my gaming in high school was internet browser games on sites like Addicting Games (often puzzle or escape-the-room type games). I was somehow completely unaware that DKC2 and 3 even existed until the GBA versions of those came out. Speaking of GBA, the majority of my time playing the GBA was either Pokemon or Super Mario Advance games and didn't give much else a chance due to assuming I would get frustrated with it real quick, causing me to miss out on highly acclaimed gems until Switch Online or Switch ports of those games.

You mentioning this reminds me that I actually had something similar when I was really little - though the one I had included the original Pac-Man (not Ms. Pac-Man), and the other games were Galaxian, Dig Dug, Rally-X, and Bosconian.
I also had a really cool Batman game as well.

We were very Nintendo-heavy growing up, so a lot of mine will be obvious:
-Mario (SMA1-3, Sunshine, Galaxy 1+2)
-Zelda (Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword)
-Mario Kart (Double Dash, Wii)
-Smash Bros (Melee onward)
-Pokemon (Silver, Emerald, Heart Gold)
I'll include some less obvious but very nostalgic ones as well, though:
-Harvest Moon (A Wonderful Life on Gamecube, Animal Parade on Wii, Friends of Mineral Town on GBA)
-Lego Star Wars (both of them on Gamecube)
-EA's Harry Potter (books 2 and 4 on Gamecube, book 2 on PC, book 3 on GBA)
-Big Brain Academy (Wii)
-Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004 (GBA)
We also had one of those Plug-N-Play Namco things, came with Pac-Man, Ms. Pacman, Galaxia (different from Galaga??), a racing car game, and the legendary Dig-Dug.
While I'm at it, I may as well list some of the hard nostalgic CD games we had on PC:
-Insaniquarium Deluxe
-Humongous Entertainment Games (Freddy Fish, Pajama Sam, Putt-Putt, etc.)
-Blues Clues: Blues Treasure Hunt
-Crazy Machines
-Adventures with Barbie: Ocean Discovery (anyone? anyone?... no?... yeah that's fair)
Admittedly a lot of those last ones were when I was more ages 3-6, so maybe not as much revisitable nostalgia there...
Oh, but lest I forget some of the classic Flash games:
-MARDEK series
-Fantastic Contraptions
-Stickman Sam
-Pandemic 2
-Red Defender
-Civiballs
-Probably 50 more I'm forgetting
...okay, I should probably shut up for now. But that hopefully gave you enough of an idea, haha.

The games that truly defined my childhood were the NES ones, although I only knew the ones that were offered from those xx-in-1 stuff, and not individual cartridges.
We also owned a Famicom with 4 games: The Lion King, Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Mario All-Stars, and Super Mario World.

Toy story 2 and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the PC, as well as another few PC games that are only known here in Scandinavia.
When I was very young, I had a NES and I remember I played a lot of the original Super Mario Bros. in it. My house got robbed and it got stolen, so my mom got me a SNES + Super Mario World instead. Mom didn't tell me about the occurence until years after so I could only find it strange that the levels and music were different and there was a map now lol
I didn't have a lot of games in either system from what I remember, but my uncle presented me early to the world of emulation, so I had Snes9x and this huge pack of games to play with. I looked for anything with "Mario" or "Yoshi" in the title, as well as Donkey Kong. My cousin liked the fighting games but I couldn't figure out my way around them. When he was around we'd play some Batman game together (but it was pretty hard).
Aside from Nintendo stuff, we for some reason had a CD of Need for Speed: Underground 2. Oh that game was good

My parents introduced me to the world of gaming early on, and they bought a SNES for young me to play. We enjoyed ourselves on gems such as Aladdin and the DKC trilogy, but Super Mario Bros. (on NES) and Super Mario World were exactly the first games I've ever played. We also owned a CD with tons of SNES games, but it's long gone now. sad
To this day we own tapes with games such as Magic Jewelry, Bonkers and Tom & Jerry.
Additionally, I used to play 4x4 Evolution, one of the best racing and multiplayer games ever, and there were a lot of tourneys. My partners have since moved on and the multiplayer mode is now rip, but these times were good.
