Off TopicWhat was the game that made you fall in love with gaming?
When I was REALLY little, my older sister had an Atari, and I hated it! There wasn't one game on there that would hold my interest for longer than 20 minutes. When I was about 6, we finally got an NES for Christmas, I was freaking estatic! Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt combo cartridge was packeged in with the NES back then. It was the 1st Super Mario Bros. that I originally fell-in love with. Mushrooms, firepower, secret warps, and more secret areas and power-ups than you could imagine for a game back then. It was the first GREAT game, IMO.
I also got the original Legend of Zelda with it. I really liked that game, too. But it took me a little longer to appreciate it. Back then there was no internet, so no instant walkthroughs or cheat-guides. It took A LONG time to complete the original Legend of Zelda. (My sister actually made pencil and paper maps of the dungeons, including where keys, bombs, and items were!) Now, that I know it by heart, I could run through it in a couple hours.
Those games of course led me on to all the other great games of the NES era like: TMNT II, Ninja Gaiden, Battle of Olympus, Contra, Bionic Commando, Crystalis, Mega Man, and others.

For me, the original Super Mario Bros was the first game that really sucked me in and kept me playing.
But it was Dragon Warrior that really sucked me in and kept me playing games for hours and hours on end.
My first system was the orignal game boy. Metroid 2 had so much to it. Lots of guns, items even armour. I also liked how the metroids evoled making the battles tougher. It was a pretty big game for it's time too expesialy when you consider it was on the game boy.
Also I like playing as a female hero.
