What Game Literally Changed Your Life?

[Howie]

Sonic The Hedgehog and Herzog Zwei I guess. It was my first videogames

[Jackofdiamonds]

Final fantasy for the NES. It got me hooked into RPGs

[Young-Al-Capone]

I should also mention Shadowrun . Snes, Genisis, and the japanese Mega-CD version. If you haven't played them, do it now!

...Shadowrun, you take my breath away

[Strider_Hiryu]

Duck Hunt. Because of that game, I now have to urge to shoot a dog whenever I see one... I'm kidding, but that's the reason I don't like dogs. They all make me think of that darn dog laughing at me.

Final Fantasy 7, It changed the way I look at RPGs completely.

[BiggySmall]

Final Fantasy X. It was the very first RPG Ive ever played but I enjoyed RPGs ever since

[Cyberxion]

I'd say that DDR actually went a long way to changing my life. It made me more active, and helped me to be more rythmically inclined.

Everquest.. I played this game for six+ hours EVERY day for three years or so.. Sold my character when I was done playing for $1250, and bought my first car using the money i had from a video game..

FF7, transformed me into an RPG gamer instead of sports.. Ive played every rpg under thesun since then, or tried to anyways.

Street Fighter II had a big impact on me. Great gameplay, hard-to-master controls, very detailed graphics for the day. I remember the arcades were packed with multiple rows of SF2 cabs.

After a few years and a few callouses i finally mastered the shoryuken, yay

[KnightofNachos]

I guess Ultima Online had a pretty large affect on me. After I had dropped out of school Ultima Online was my only way of interacting with people outside my house. This was at least 8 years ago, boy the years go by fast.

Xenogears had a tremendous effect on my mind, but I don't know if it was exactly life-changing. It still remains a testament to how immensely beautiful a video game can be with story alone.

[Deathcrush]

Twisted Metal 2. first video game i ever played. i remember it like it was yesterday. i thought it was just some racing game with guns . man was i wrong.

[mavericktk90]

Hmmm, I'd have to say D&D, the pen and paper old school style, hehe... It may not be a video game, but nevertheless a rather immersing one, since your MIND makes the "graphics"

[Solidus Joe]

...
*Tries to think back as far as possible*

It must have been either Pac Man, Donkey Kong or Pitfall.

One of them started my gaming habit when I was 3. Thus changed my life.

My dad still pays for that mistake every birthday and christmas

I really don't know how a game could actually change someone's life but for me I never really played v-games as a kid. One day I went to a friends house when I was about 14 and started playing FF7 and after that I was hooked. Now I have more games than anyone I know (personnaly). So I would have to say FF7.

[Soeru]

3 words: Metal Gear Solid.

Half-Life also pulled me into the time-consuming world of online gameplay.

To be honest I have not played a video game in more than 6 months, damn, I don't know what the hell I'm doing at Emuparadise...
