I was born in 1976, so video games were a huge part of my life.
I don’t have as much time to play them now, but I do have a Wii,
which I enjoy, but miss that feeling of opening the newest,
best-graphics-ever, can’t stop playing, games. It occurred to me
recently that many of the games I played as a child, and teenager,
changed my life in many ways.
Here are the 7 games that changed my life, and how they did
it:
#1 - Mattel Electronic Football (1977)
I still remember my neighbor getting this amazing creation. I
was about four years old, but I remember being blown-away by the
cool noises it made. I didn’t understand it, or have a clue how to
play it, but I carried it with me as often as I could.
How it changed my life: I don’t know if Mattel
branded the units, but my neighbor’s had a Tampa Bay Buccaneers
logo (yeah, the orange and white one). The day I saw this game, I
became an instant Bucs fan.
#2 - Space Invaders (Atari 2600, 1981?)
My
parents bought an Atari 2600 when I was 5. They didn’t buy it for
me, so they ended up putting it in their bedroom, and I went for
months not knowing it was in the house. I guess they got bored with
it and ended up moving it into the living room. I didn’t know what
it was, but after about 5 seconds of seeing Space Invaders in
action, I was doing the, “ooo, let me try, let me try…” I quickly
found myself addicted to the game, and still to this day, consider
it one of my favorites. I figured out the double-fire (explained in
the video) by myself, and told all my friends my version of the
game was special.
How it changed my life: I learned a valuable
lesson from Space Invaders. I learned that all-nighters are fun
while they last, but really suck the next day.
#3 - Kangaroo (Arcade, 1982)
I was a latch-key kid (weren’t we all back then?) and would go
to the Boy’s Club after school, and during Summer vacation. My
first Summer at the Boy’s Club, was the Summer we received 2 video
games: Donkey Kong, and Kangaroo. Donkey Kong always had a really
long line of kids wanting to play, so I always played Kangaroo, and
found it extremely fun. I could go for hours playing on the same
quarter. The game was simple - you were a kangaroo trying to beat
up monkeys using your ginormous red boxing gloves. You hopped up
ledges trying to ring a bell, and punch monkeys all the way up.
There were other levels, but you get the idea.
How it changed my life: Sometimes beating up
monkeys makes you feel invincible, so when a kid kept talking to
me, and made me die (we’ve all been there), I punched him. It was
my very first fight. I ended up losing a tooth when he elbowed me
in the mouth, but it forever changed my life by teaching me that
there’s a huge difference between a video game punch, and a real
punch.
#4 - Super Mario Brothers (NES, 1985)
Oh the memories. I had SMB for one year before getting another
game. I played it non-stop. I figured out every warp zone, every
hidden vine, and every 1-up mushroom in the game. I could run
through the entire game, and finish it with one man. I could get
into the negative world. It was just so freaking cool, and I had a
NES Max, so I had turbo fireballs too. Things seemed so simple back
then.
How it changed my life: I was the first kid in
the neighborhood to get a Nintendo. Talk about instant “Cool”
status. I became the most popular kid in the neighborhood, and
realized that having cool gadgets upped my social status - leading
to a lifetime gadget addiction.
#5 - The Legend of Zelda (NES, 1986)
The gold cartridge was intoxicating. The music was memorizing.
It was just all too perfect of a game. I was getting a little
older, so I couldn’t play it as much, but I played it every chance
I got. I remember going into the first dungeon, and my jaw hit the
floor. I think I was the perfect age for the game, because it all
just made sense.
How it changed my life: Zelda changed me a few
ways. The first thing I remember is that it really made me
understand maps, and instilling in me a desire to explore things. I
ended up spending more time outside as a result of this game,
thinking that there might always be something really cool around
the next corner - like a whistle I could blow to make tornadoes.
The other life-changing event was quickly learning that 900 numbers
are expensive. Let me explain - back in 1986 or 87, Nintendo Power
was free. It was more like a newspaper, but it had screenshots, and
other cool game tips. They also had an advertisement for a 900
number you could call for game tips. I didn’t know it would cost
money to make the call, so I called everyday….for a week. I ended
up losing the Nintendo for a week, and found the red ring on my
own.
#6 - Columns (Genesis, 1989)
I hated this stupid game. Stack some lame blocks in some lame
order, and some lame stuff happened. I can’t express how much I
hated this game. Seriously. It wasn’t Tetris, and it wasn’t
exciting. It was just stupid blocks with stupid colors.
How it changed my life: Why would a boy play a
game he hated so much? Did I mention I was a freshman in high
school when I got this game? Did I also mention that the reason I
bought it was because my girlfriend wanted it? We had been dating
for months, and she couldn’t put this stupid game down. We ended up
playing until about 2am one night, and I’ll let you figure out the
rest of how this changed my life.
#7 - Super Puzzle Fighter II (PS1, 1997)
Back to the block-puzzle style games. Again, I bought this one
for a girlfriend (different one). Super Puzzle Fighter wasn’t that
bad. We would sit in beach chairs in front of the TV eating atomic
fireballs, playing this game. It was an interesting game in that it
had the puzzle stuff, but also had little Street Fighter characters
in the middle of the screen, beating the hell out of each
other.
How it changed my life: The game was great for
two players, but I quickly realized that if you stacked your blocks
along one side as fast as you could, then did the same to the next
column, it would eventually start making big jewels that would blow
up and bury your opponent. This lead to a very heated argument one
night. Probably the biggest argument we’d had, but I purchased an
engagement ring a few days earlier, and after the fight cooled
down, I ended up proposing, to which she said yes. To bad I don’t
have a game for the divorce we had 5 years later.
#8 - Moon Cresta (Arcade, 1981)
I published this post, but then remembered this game, so I had
to come back and edit it. Moon Cresta seems to be a lesser known
game. It’s very similar to Pheonix, and Galaga, but from what I can
tell, it never really caught on. The premise is the same as most
shooters….you shoot stuff. This game had a slight twist. At certain
times during the game, you could dock your smaller ship onto a
larger piece of the ship, and had better fire power.
How it changed my life: This game probably
changed my life more than any other, but it came much later in
life. When I was about 5, my grandmother would go to a craft store
for hours. Across the street was a Dairy Queen with Moon Cresta in
it. I would be there a few times a week, and there was always this
older kid there that would hog the game - no matter how many times
I said, “I got next man!” I would stick my head in front of the
screen to watch the game, and he would almost push me down. I would
do anything I could to make him lose so I could play, but he was
really good, and the game gives you extra men for every 100,00
points, so one quarter could last all day. Almost twenty years
after first playing this game, and getting bullied by the older
kid, I became friends with a guy I worked with. We went to lunch
one day, and somehow started talking about Moon Cresta. Neither of
us had ever met anyone else that had ever even heard of the game.
Then it happened. He started telling me about this little kid that
would annoy the crap out of him when he played it. He said his mom
used to work next to the Dairy Queen, and he would go and play the
game for hours. Long story short - it’s the same bully. We’ve now
been business partners for 7 years, and we’re the best of
friends.
I’m sure there are many other games that changed my life, but
none that really had lasting changes like these games.
I’d love to know what games changed other people’s lives. I
can’t be the only one. If you have a game that changed your life,
post it in the comments section.
I’ll pick one random comment next week, and the winner
will receive a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It’s old, but
it still works. I think I have 6 games that I’ll also throw in.
Good luck!
One of the (if not the) first football games where you can "play"
as an actual professional sportsman. Remember Bo Jackson, there was
NO way to tackle that guy!
I feel like pong really
changed my video gaming life. While most gamers these days weren't
around for that revolution, it really stands out to me as an
amazing proof of concept.
I think the first game I
played was Donkey Kong. Hmmmm. Can't say it really changed my life
in anyway though. I didn't really own my own video game system till
the SNES so the first game to have a real impact on my life was
probably Super Mario World.
