    Played a lot, overall would be probably Sonic, possibly Mario World 2 on the GB though, played a lot of Golden Axe and Streets of Rage too. There was an incarnate of a Fifa game too that I got a lot of time out of, think it may have just been internationals though. There was a Formula one game that my dad played loads as did I, not sure if the golf game obsession started with the PS1 or if there was one for the SEGA that we played...

    Did it really take this long for someone to mention the hilarity and epicness of Micro Machines?

    How did I forget about this?! Hours and hours of time spent flying about in wee cars and boats in back-yards and ponds!

    Kid Chameleon ALL the way. Fantastic game and fairly challenging.Also spent ages playing Zool, Flashback on the Amiga

    Of my early childhood, Kung Fu Master on a friend's ZX Spectrum. On my own first console, I'd say Road Rash (Megadrive). The sheer lawlessness of it was breath taking to a 14 year old!

    Command and Conquer many many hours went into it!

    Mario Kart or Super Mario World until I had a seizure, damned flashing lights, grew out of it eventually but that curtailed my gaming sessions for a couple of years

    C&C/Diablo/Total Annihilation, those would be what I consider as my early favorites, about the time I really got in to games even though I did play for years before that.

    Last Ninja 2 on my friend's ZX Spectrum.

    mario all stars on the snes, and donkey kong land on the game boy. i remember being too "sick" to go to primary school a little often ;) even thinking about me in my pyjamas playing those snow levels in mario brothers 1 fills me with nostalgia when all the other suckers were in school!

    donkey kong land nearly made me go insane, i played it on xmas for about 16 hours and that night when i went to bed all i could see was donkey kong when i closed my eyes, and all i could here was the catchy songs. my dad was gonna bring me to the hospital lol. my brother had 6 golden coins on his one, we both got a gameboy that christmas

    4-player Micro Machines against friends/family members, constantly trying to one-up each other by trying to push each other off of the track. Sometimes, the race itself would be second to this.

    Being strict with 'Childhood' (As in still in primary school), I'd say WonderBoy In Monster Land or Shinobi arcade machines.

    Simons quest and Shadow run(snes version)

    Beyond the obvious (C&C, Diablo etc.) I'd have to say Eye of the Beholder 2 (EOB2). I could play the game perfectly fine, save perfectly fine but my PC could not handle to LOAD games!

    This meant every time I wanted to play the game I had to start from scratch and I became very good at the game (got stuck on the labyrinth with light balls in the end before I upgraded my PC and got the walkthrough to help me).

    8 players (4teams)!!

    You could split the controller into 2 ...so it was Left , Right and Down as brake, and the teammate had A(left),C(right) and B as brake :D
