Most likely I'd have to say, going purely on gut feels alone, Diablo 2 or the Warcraft 2 Level Editor or maybe Rollercoaster Tycoon. If I had to be a little more objective about it, I'd probably say Quake 3/Live even though I only started playing it in 2012, or Victoria: An Empire Under The Sun.

Taking very recent releases into account, it's hard not to put Super Mario Maker in at least the top 5 games of all time.

I take this back, Quake made me a PC gamer, Zelda 1 & 2, and Final Fantasy 1 made me a gamer as a kid

For me it was Super Mario Bros and, if the screenshots I found of the team select menu are matching up with the picture I have in my head, Baseball Stars.

I think it is the game since https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGuPONzYm28 I remember this music I think. I was 2 or 3 when I played it last though so.

One of the most memorable moments in gaming, to me, was in Pokémon Silver when I beat the Elite Four and found out that you can actually go and fight your way through the entire original R/B/Y region.

I love when a game reveals itself to be way bigger than I had been led to expect. It happened twice yesterday.

I'm more blown away that in 2000 or before that even, the whole problem of people camping and stuff was already elegantly solved by Quake and Doom and w/e, and now Activision and EA are doing the most insane possible poo poo year after year and adding more and more onto the problem to combat complaints and lessen it by tiny steps while creating new bad things...

The game I think I spent the most time emulating as a kid was a Japanese copy of Monster Rancher 3 I think for GBA which I somehow learned how to play and understand just from doing it.

Oh it was just Monster Rancher Advance. This but in Japanese because I could never find an english copy and by the time it came out I had probably already learned how to play the Japanese one.

how does monster rancher advance generate monsters

I don't remember, I guess randomly but there's a picture in my brain of a CD icon in the game's menus somewhere so probably through a crazy japanese thing where you put a CD in a tower at a toy store or whatever and hook your GBA up to it.

This is what Wikipedia says: Similar to the other Monster Rancher games, gameplay revolves around creating, raising, and fighting monsters. Due to the Game Boy Advance's limitations, players do not generate monsters by inserting disks into the console, but typing characters. Players can also create new monsters by combining 2 existing ones, just like the PlayStation versions. One of the differences between this and earlier Monster Ranchers is that Dino has been replaced with Zumms, as well as several species, such as Monols, having been omitted.

It's the only Monster Rancher game I played and I only saw one episode of the show so I'm not the guy to ask, especially since I only played it in Japanese. lol

It's become impossible for me to truly lose my life to a MMO due to my lack of patience and always being aware of how truly little time there is for anything so I don't mind playing them, it's like playing a slightly more expensive any other kind of game to me, at this point.

So you could generate a monster from the phrase rear end or gently caress. Awesome

My first GBA games under the tree at Xmas were Wario Land 4, and this which was actually a GBC game.



I wasn't a wrestling fan even the least bit at the time and wouldn't be for another uhh 12 years I think, for context.
