Topic: What type of gamer are you?

[Mario]

Here's a little bit about me.

Age: 16

First console:Sega Mega Drive

Game that really got me into gaming:Pokemon Blue

Consoles owned: Nintendo Gamecube, Playstation 2, Nintendo 64, Playstation, Sega Mega Drive, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP

Favourite console and why: Nintendo Gamecube, because it has introduced me to a new era of gaming with the likes of Pikmin, Eternal Darkness and Super Monkey Ball, it has brought back some great classics like Resident Evil, Sonic Mega Collection, Metal Gear Solid and Pacman, and it just has the best games available on any system in my opinion. Plus its library of games extends by over a thousand with the Gameboy Player. It looks awesome too and has the best controller ever.

Favourite games: Goldeneye, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Eternal Darkness, The Legend of Zelda: All of them, Pikmin, Pokemon, Super Smash Bros Melee and Resident Evil. And almost anything else made by Nintendo.

Most anticipated games: F-Zero GX, Pokemon Coluseum, SSX 3, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.

Favourite genre: Action/Adventure.

Wish for the future of gaming: Quicker PAL conversions, and more games for Australia.

What kind of gamer are you?

[ThePerm]

Age: 19

First console:Nes/Commadore 64(same day)

Game that really got me into gaming: oddly enough.... Mario is Missing

Consoles owned: Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo 64, Playstation, Sega Genisis, game gear, Gameboy Advance, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Atari Jaguar, NES

Favorite console and why: Nintendo 64, because it was awesome...i had an NES. But i had so much fun. Whether multiplayer or otherwise mostly on n64.

[PIAC]

Age: 18

First console: Super Nintendo (i could say Amiga 500, but its not really a console)

Game that really got me into gaming: Monkey Island on Amiga 500 or Super Mario Bros. 3 on NES (my cousins)

Consoles owned: Super Nintendo (twice), Nintendo 64, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo Gamecube, Gameboy Advance SP, Sega Master System, Gameboy Player. (future consoles Dreamcast and NES)

Favourite console and why: hrmmm this is a difficult one, its a very close tie between the Super Nintendo, the Gamecube and the Dreamcast (despite the fact i haven't owned one before) but i think my choice would have to be on the Super Nintendo. for sheer fun alone, anyone who owns games like the Donkey Kong Country series, Super Metroid, Mario Allstars, Yoshi's Island (possibly my favorite game of all time) will know what im talking about, even lesser titles like the Super Starwars games are incredibly fun, sure they arn't as long or as flashy as games today, but they are FUN! selling my SNES to get an n64 was THE stupidist thing i have ever done, not because n64 was crap, but the SNES was just so awsome.

Favourite games: Yoshi's Island above all, followed very closely by Super Metroid. Super Mario 1 and 3, the Pokemon series, Metroid Prime, Skies of Arcadia, CHRONO TRIGGER!!!!!!!,  1080 Snowboarding,  Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time and The Wind Waker, Worms Armageddon, X-wing, the Super StarWars series, Super Smash Bros (n64), The Monkey Island series, aaaaaaaaaaaaand the Broken Sword series.

Most anticipated games: Veiwtiful Joe, Soul Calibur 2, Knights of the Old Republic (pc)

Favourite genre: Point and Click Adventure, Action/Adventure

Wish for the future of gaming: Simultanious world wide releases, more 'quirky' games to make it out of Japan and into australia, for me to have enough balls to play Eternal Darkness
 

[Termin8Anakin]

Age: 17 (18 next Tuesday! YAHOOOOO!)

First Console: Super Nintendo

Game that got me into gaming: I spent an equal amount of time on Dig Dug and Space Invaders

Consoles owned: Game Boy, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and Gamecube (Shut up!)

Fave Console and why: I wasn't really into gaming until the N64. And it wasn't until the N64 that I realised i loved NIntendo. So I have to say the N64. Plus I absolutely adore Banjo's games, I love Jet Force Gemini, Mario 64 and F-Zero X got me onto futuristic games. I only had 5 games on the Snes: Mario Kart, NBA Jam, Super Soccer, Street Racer and Sim City - not really a difinitive Nintendo Gamer's collection.

Fave games: Super Mario Bros. (NES), Super Mario Land 2 (GB), Jet Force Gemini, Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, Mario SUnshine, Mario 64, Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, F-Zero X, Eternal Darkness.

Anticipated Games: F-Zero GX, MGS: TTS, Too Human, Wind Waker 2, Viewtiful Joe, Killer 7, and the possibility of the ultimate Pokemon RPG.

Fave Genre: Action/Adventure, Platform.

Wish for future of gaming: PAL (and Australia more specifically) gets more attention in hardware and software releases (and advertising!!!!), that i become the next Shigeru Miyamoto (or if i don't create games, the next Matt Cassamassia/Billy Bergi......sorry), that developers see that the only reason NIntendo is seen as kiddy is cause they won't make their mature games for it.

[KnowsNothing]

Age: 13

First console: Sega Genesis

Game that really got me into gaming: Mario 64

Consoles owned: Nintendo Gamecube, Playstation, Nintendo 64 ,Sega Genesis, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance(gone now), Gameboy Advance SP

Favorite console and why: As of now, N64 because it's the system that brought me into the wonderful world of geekyness with great games like Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Mario Kart, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Jet Force Jemini, and alot more I can't think of right now.  But it looks like GCN will be my favorite because almost all of these games will have sequels on the cube, which makes me one happy panda.

Favorite games:Super Mario 64,The Legend of Zelda [OoT, WW, LA], Pokemon Red, Super Smash Bros Melee, Metroid Prime + Fusion, Mario Kart, Mario Golf, Golden Sun, Super Mario World.  I love 'em all!

(EDIT: How could I forget Mario/Duckhunt which has to be the best game ever.)

Most anticipated games: Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Eternal Darkness (I know it's out already, but i ordered it and it should come any day now), FF:CC, WW2.

(another edit: Eternal Darkness arrived at my doorstep not ten minutes after making my first edit.  I didn't keep my promise to beat WW before I play Eternal Darkness though.  I have a feeling I'll never finish that game even though I am sooooo close)

Favorite genre: Action/Adventure.

Wish for the future of gaming:  A disease to strike only mainstreem gamers so all will be right with the world.    

[Grey Ninja]

Age: 22

First Console: NES

Game that really got me into gaming: Bolo Binary

Consoles owned: NES, Atari 2600, SNES, N64, GCN, GBA

Favorite Console: SNES.  IMO, the SNES was Nintendo's golden era.  The games were fantastic and numerous, but it was the RPGs that really made the console great.  GCN deserves a definate honorable mention though, because most of my favorite games are available on GameCube, and there's never a shortage of something to play.  The lack of RPGs at this point really make it lose to the SNES though.

Favorite Games:  Zelda: Wind Waker, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, Eternal Darkness, and Metal Gear Solid are my top 5 favorite games of all time.

Most Anticipated Games:  (in no particular order) Xenosaga, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Metal Gear Solid 3, Silent Hill 3, Killer7,  Too Human, Baten Kaitos ( Baten Kaitos = Xenogears Gaiden?), Tales of Symphonia.

Favorite Genre:  Traditional console RPG.

Wish for the future of gaming: And end to discrimination of different consoles, and an end to people calling E rated games kiddy.  Also, an end to the thought that only a game with blood and guts is any good.  

[nitsu niflheim]

Age:  24 (I'll be 25 September 6)

First Console: One of the Atari's

Game that really got me into gaming: Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest

Consoles Owned: NES, SNES, Gameboy, Nintendo 64, Playstation, Dreamcast, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Xbox, Gameboy Advance SP. Personally by me.

Favorite Console: SNES.  Best variety of games.

Favorite Games: Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 2 (US), Secret of Mana.

Most Anticipated Games:  Final Fantasy X-2, Soul Calibur II (GCN), Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, Star Ocean III: Till the End of Time, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Tales of Symphonia, F-Zero GX, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Sword of Mana, Fable, Xenosaga Episode 2, Dino Crisis 3, Resident Evil 4.  In no particular order.

Favorite Genre: RPG's

Wish For the Future of Gaming: Final Fantasy 3 ported to GBA.

[kennyb27]

Age: 17

First Console: NES (well, it was my dad's)

Game that got me into gaming: Super Mario 64

Consoles owned: NES (twice), N64, GCN, Playstation, GB, GB Pocket, GB Color, GBA, and GBA SP

Favorite Console: N64 or GCN.  Why?  Well, for the 64 it was all the great games brought into a new dimension (literally).  Mario turned 3D, Zelda jumped into the 3D world, Donkey Kong (althought it wasn't the best game).  And there were other games that just got me hooked like Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie (some of the best Adventure games ever), MarioKart, Mario Tennis, Pilotwings, GoldenEye...right I'll stop that now.  And GameCube because it recreates those great games and adds to them.  Eternal Darkness is one of the most fun games ever.  And there never is a dull moment with the GCN in my house.  

Favorite Games: Super Mario Bros. 3, Donkey Kong (original on NES), Super Mario 64, Eternal Darkness, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pokemon series

Most Anticipated Games: Viewtiful Joe, F-Zero GX, MarioKart: Double Dash!!, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike, Too Human, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Mario 128

Favorite Genre: Action/Adventure, Turn-based RPG

Wish for Future of Gaming: For gamers to stop worrying about sales and what companies are better than others.  And for console prices to continue to drop so all gamers can experience the best games no matter what console.

[evilnate]

Outta my way!  Old man coming through.

Age: 27

First Console Atari 2600

Game that really got me into gaming: Combat/ (and later) Ultima IV

Consoles Owned: Atari 2600, Sega Genesis (w/32X add-on!), Sega Game Gear, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Gamecube, Game Boy Advance

Favorite Console and Why: I was about to put the Genesis here, but upon further reflection, I'd have to say the Gamcube, but only with the GBP add-on.  The GBP is almost the exact opposite of the 32X add-on, and it's turned the Cube into the second-most versitile gaming platform out there (second only to the PC).

Favorite Games: Gunship!, Wing Commander I&II, X-Wing Alliance, Gunstar Heroes, Ranger X, Sonic 2, Legend of Zelda: OOT, Metroid Prime, Golden Sun.

Most Anticipated Games: Rouge Leader III, Soul Caliber II, Metroid Prime 2, Too Human.

Favorite Genres: Flight Sims, Action/Adventure

Wish for Future of Gaming: More interaction with game worlds and characters.

[Ian Sane]

Age: 21

First Console: SNES

Games that really got me into gaming: Super Mario World and Street Fighter II

Consoles owned: SNES, N64, PS1, GBA, Gamecube

Favourite console and why: SNES of course.  It had the third party support of the Playstation with Nintendo's quality first party titles.

Favourite games: Super Mario RPG, Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Yoshi's Island, Mortal Kombat II, Fire Pro Wrestling, Super Smash Bros. Melee, F-Zero X

Most anticipated games: F-Zero GX, Soul Calibur II

Favourite genre: Action/Adventure

Wish for the future of gaming: For Nintendo to become the agressive competitor they were in the early 90s again.  I'd rather they die in a blaze of glory than fade out as an obscure niche developer left behind with the times.

[Gamer Donkey]

Age: 16

First console: NES

Game that got me into gaming: Mario/Duckhunt

Consoles owned: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, Gameboy color

Fav console and why: I would have to say the Gamecube is my favorite. It's the first console that I really got into, sadly I didn't start earlier in life. I also like all the Gameboys because of their portability.

Favorite games: Mario/Duckhunt, Rogue Leader, Burnout, Mariokart, Goldeneye, World is not Enough(for multiplayer only), most of the Need for Speed series, Roadsters(GB Color)

Most anticapated games: F-Zero GX, Black and White 2(PC), other stuff I can't think of

Fav genre: FPS, Flight Sim, Racing

Wish for the future of gaming: For games to cost less.

[HiTmaN]

Age: 14

First Console: NES

Game(s) that got me into gaming: I can't really say Mario, because I used to play Gauntlet and Tecmo Superbowl with my dad. So I'll say Techmo Superbowl, Gauntlet, and Zelda.

Consoles owned: NES, Super NES, Playstation, Game Boy Pocket, Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube

Fav console and why: Its a tough decision but I'm going to go with my Dreamcast. Hours of mindless fun spent playing on it. Four open slots made it the ultimate party machine, and with the graphics of a PS2 its just THE system. Get 4 lightguns, 4 friends, and House of the Dead you'll have a blast.

Favorite games: Super Mario RPG, Zelda, Zelda II, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario Bros, GTA 3, FF7, Soulstice, Tecmo Superbowl, Devil May Cry, Tony Hawk, Mega Man X

Fav genre: RPG, sports, adventure

Most anticapated games: Mega Man X7 or any Mega Man game for that matter, WWE Here Comes the Pain, Soul Calibur 2, Mafia

Whish for the furture of gaming: Cut the price for new games from $50 to maybe $35. $50 is about 1/4 of the system, cmon thats a rip.  

[Molobert]

Age: 15

First Console: NES (Friend bought me a used one for $20 at Gamestop about 8 years ago)

Game that really got me into gaming: Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt

Consoles owned: NES, Playstation (bought this from a friend a couple years ago, used it for Tony Hawk 2, and now it's gathering dust), Game Boy Advance, Game boy Advance SP, N64 (bought from same friend a couple years ago, used), Gamecube.

Favorite console and why: Either the N64 or gamecube. After my NES died, I only played video games at others' houses. Then I bought an N64 even though the gamecube was out, because it had awesome games. I hadn't even heard of gamecube until I saw a SMS commercial, but I bought one last January and it kicks ass. GCN got me into hardcore gaming.

Favorite games: In no particular order: Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Diddy Kong Racing, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Diablo II, Quake II, Super Smash Brothers, Skies of Arcadia: Legends, Metroid Prime, Wario Ware, Crash Bandicoot 2.

Most anticipated games: F-Zero GX, Soul Calibur II, Mario Kart: DD, XIII, Tales of Symphonia, Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike, Half Life 2, Metal Gear Solid : Twin Snakes, Prince of Persia, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Viewtiful Joe, Custom Robo.

Favorite genre: Platform and Action/Adventure

Wish for the future of gaming: More original games, less crap.

[mouse_clicker]

Age: 15

First console: NES

Game that really got me into gaming: Roller Coaster Tycoon and Doom

Consoles owned: NES, Gameboy, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, Playstation 2, PC (it's technically a gaming platform)

Favorite console and why: I wouldn't be able to decide- I love my Gamecube to death right now, but I can say the same for all the consoles I've owned. It's really too hard to say.

Favorite games: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Link to the Past, Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Super Mario 64, in that order.

Most anticipated games: Too Human, Ico 2, Wind Waker 2, Viewtiful Joe, GTA: San Andreas (or whatever the next one is called), Mother 3, Metroid Prime 2, another Grandia, Half Life 2 (a lot of sequels)- many more, but those are the top ones.

Favorite genre: Again, I can't say- part of me says FPS, part of me says action/adventure, part of me says adventure, part of me says RPG- I'm being pulled in too many directions.

Wish for the future of gaming: Standardization- I'm really getting sick of buying 2 or more consoles every generation just to play all the great games. If they had a standard platform (like CD's with music) I would be a LOT happier.



I feel like such a nerd filling this out.

You really are my polar opposite in some ways, you know that?  Parasite Eve was one of my favorites, and is heaps better than FF7.

[KnowsNothing]

So far, I'm the youngest person on this board by one year.  So it kinda makes sense that my name is KnowsNothing.

And they say Nintendo's for kiddies....

True. . . our only similarities seem to be our interest in RPGs, but you're more picky if you ask me.

Heh.  how am I more picky?  I put up with the second disc of Xenogears without problem, and I was able to put up with the overly short length of Parasite Eve, with scads of FMV thrown in.
