I got a Nintendo for my girl many years ago and sorta took it over. nah, we time shared.

First game I fell in love with was Dragon Warrior 1. I tend to gravitate to rpg's more than anything. Final Fantasy had a few really great ones that I will love forever. The latest one is not at all interesting to me tho. Final Fantasy Tactics is another big favourite. Currently playing Skyrim and Diablo 3. Both are exceptional in their own way.

For computer games I really enjoyed Sid Meier's early stuff like Railroad Tycoon, oh so much fun. Alpha Centauri. Oh and an old timey 6 floppy disker (or thereabouts, can't remember) Might and Magic. Really enjoyed that one too.

I never did get into the gun shootem up things. Always preferred to do my killing with a bow or some ancient sword in a medieval like setting - and avoid those games with the bug eyed big blue haired kids, gawd. The game could be great but all that neon makes me heave.
