I'm sure some of you are embarrassed by things you have or have not done in your gaming history, here's a list of mine.


- I could never figure out how to beat the level in Dark Forces with boba fett (never even found the bastard, just wandered around like an idiot)

- I played the entire game of Jedi Knight on the keyboard (And all other FPS games up until half-life)

- I never beat Half-Life without cheats

- First multiplayer FPS game I ever played online was Turok 2 : Seeds of evil

- My original Starcraft name was baconator

- Bought Baldurs gate a few months after its release. never got far

- Never beat ANY GTA game EVER

- Rocket Jockey is still one of my favorite games of all time

- Never played Fallout, XCOM,

- Never owned a console until 2004 - Xbox. First game I bought for xbox? Rocky Boxing

- The first time I played wolfenstein , it was the street fighter version, and i thought " WTF IS THIS GAME ABOUT?!"

- My controls I used for FPS games are the default controls from Decent -A forward -Z backwards, S,D sidestep(probably because it took me forever to figure out why the UP key didn't make my ship go forward)

- Never beat Prince of Persia

that's awesome.

- i called a gaming hotline in 1990 or 91 to ask for help finding an item i needed to complete shining in the darkness.



not only did this come out of my pocket money but the fucks didn't even have the info i was after.

-after a particularly awesome scene in ripper, i had a nightmare that night.



-i stole what became my favourite game for more than a decade, tie fighter. and i don't mean online like a fag.



i made up for this by buying it twice later on i don't spose that helped the store though.

-i never played system shock, total annihilation or fallout

-i fucked dad's 386 by installing the dragonlance dragon combat game, dragonstrike, over some files integral to making the pc work. the government IT guys had to fix it for him.



-i took a $20 price tag and put it over the $68 price tag for golden axe on the megadrive. my cunning ruse was fooled by a sales manager, so didn't get the game until months after.



-my sister is better at tetris and alex kidd than me.



-i have loved a game called flowers of crystal



im sure i'll remember more later cool idea for a thread.

old school

-Out of all the Doom clones of the 90's, I feel this one went under the radar the most.


Actually, it was a rather big piece of shit, but I loved it as a kid.

-I remember buying a D&D Gaming Collection package deal back in the mid 90's, containing the titles Dark Sun: Shattered Lands, Dungeon Hack, Unlimited Adventures, Stronghold and Fantasy Empires. I lost the rulebooks almost immediately after I opened the package (somehow), and was never able to get past the beginnings of any one of them.



-One of my favorite RPG's of all time happens to be on Sega's underappreciated handheld, the Game Gear. Of course, my copy gets left behind at a hotel in Hawaii, and is never seen again.

Defenders of Oasis, bitches.



-When your in 5th grade and a place like Funcoland, whom thrives on ignorant kids trading used games and equipment for values far less than they deserve (not that I dont blame my own dumbass self), disasters await. Didn't know this, of course, when I sold my Sega Saturn copy of Dragon Force for a mere $20. It goes for no less than about $150 today.

- Never could be bothered to play any of the portal games despite all the hype about how awesome they are.

- Was totally unimpressed by Half Life 2, beat it with cheats because i was too bored by it to go at it the proper way

- Never beat starcraft

- My favourite FPS of all time, OF ALL TIME! is No One Lives Forever 2...a game that apparently no one else remembers or cares about.

- I used to hide drugs in my old original series GameBoy...which i still have

- I used to prefer JRPGs over cRPGs
