Formative Games

The games that got me into gaming and formed the corner stone of my early tastes in games, from my early childhood to adolescence. I grew up as a sheltered Nintendo kid and I didn't really start playing more mature rated games until high school. My tastes are rather different now from back then, as I went on to cultivate more of a varied taste in games after adolescence, but it was still a fun exercise to think back on the games I played the most growing up.

Cool list idea! I have played 12 of these, none of them are by Nintendo lol.
that description is so me, had a ps2 when i was a young lad but when I got a Wii in 2010 I literally only liked Nintendo and was a huge fanboy up until 2016 when I got into PlayStation again lol

@FallenGrace Thank you! That's funny, I figured the Nintendo games would be the ones that most folks here have played aside from a few of the comic book games, Team Fortress 2 and Devil May Cry.

@NOWITSREYNTIME17 My biggest regret in life is never owning a PS2... I'm jealous, but I'm glad you can relate to the Nintendo fanboyism, lol
