I, being a child of the 90's grew up on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. Let me tell you, I absolutely loved this game. I did not have any idea what to do, but just running around, riding Epona, and killing skeletons was great. I still to this date have not beat the game, but I plan to someday (hopefully). So that brings me to the topic, what game did you grow up on. Preferably when you were age 3-5. And maybe even the game you had no idea what you were doing, but just loved to free roam. Please leave a comment telling me the name of the game, and what console/OS you played it on. Also leave the decade you were born in (if you would like) and we can see who played what. I will follow up on this blog post with some videos in the future, but right now I would just like to gather some data.

Leave your comment below. I also would like suggestions and comments on my posts. Follow me on Twitter for the latest tech updates. And check out my brand new personal blog. I would also like input on that via Twitter if possible.

Video games didn't come out till I was about 25.

Comment by Pete Burgess on October 1, 2010 at 4:49am: Pong on a Grandstand console (probably a TV2000). It was amazing when the version with joysticks instead of dials came out - 8 built-in games with 2D "bat" movement!!!

Yes, I'm a child of the 70's (almost 60's!).
