Most memorable game of your childhood?

At my friends house it was
Was always fun to play this in coop and even bought this game last year for my collection.
At home it was either Pokémon Red and my never ending fear of the Rock Tunnel or watching how my sister played Majora's Mask.

I would have to say Banjo Kazooie - spent so many hours with this game, collecting everything possible and exploring every single corner of those levels.
And follow closely by a random one I don't see talked about much: Jet Set Radio Future - for some reason I absolutely LOVED this game. The soundtrack, the style, the graffiti, the setting - I replayed this so so much!

Probably the Mario games on NES. I knew I liked gaming but going from crappy platformers on home computers (C64/Spectrum/ST/Amiga) with floaty controls and pushing up on a joystick to jump to SMB1 was an awakening of sorts.
For me it's Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy IX.
I remember feeling so guilty when I pressed Select in MGS the first time I played, I was almost in tears. :p
With FFIX I loved just about everything with it, the style, characters, the setting. It's sad they never made another Final Fantasy like it.

Super Mario World
I could only beat the first level for several years.
I know, I suck.
10 and older, Pokemon Blue.
12 was Power Stone 2.
Game for 14 year-old me.

Yeah Banjo-Kazooie is mine too. First time I felt absorbed into the world of a game. I spent hours looking for every secret and trying to find out the mystery of Stop N Swap.
Easily the first Contra. Also the first game I ever beat. Music was amazing in that game as well and the guns were wild, they all fired in unique ways.
Obviously growing up back then also hard not to think.

Back when I still had dial-up, I'd only play RuneScape alongside my brother, switching to let the other one play every 30 minutes. I remember refusing to do any quests, and grinding Woodcutting on the willow tree in Lumbridge. Great times.
There's quite a few, but I'll try to keep it simple:
Played Fighters Megamix a lot on my Saturn and it's a game I always think of when remembering games as a kid
I sunk SO MANY quarters into Lethal Enforcers

I would say:
And:
Have so many fond memories of playing a lot of N64 titles as a kid, since it was my first proper console, but these two in particular.

I'd say Banjo Kazooie as well. Since English is not my native language I could not understand a single word but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
I loved Rad Gravity on the NES... Never beat it though, I was stuck somewhere in the last level. I replayed it not long ago, it's not as bad as I was afraid I must say.
Oh man, I forgot about that Stop N Swap! Rattled my mind. I also always loved that you had to go to the Sand Castle in Treasure Trove Cove to ground bash in the cheat codes like give Banjo a massive head - ahhh the memories.
TMNT NES
Most notably for how hard it was, secondly because it was the first game I owned. I was such a huge Turtles fan as a kid and I really wanted to beat this game, but I couldn't. I remember getting to a rooftops level, but never got any further than that.

Ah, RuneScape would be up there for me too. Half the computer lab would be playing together.
Phantasy Star

I was a 7 years old console gamer back then and didn't know anything about RPGs. It was an amazing experience discovering the mechanics of the genre by my own. When I realized Alys could get stronger by defeating enemies my mind was blown away! I remember spending many afternoons mapping dungeons my with sister. Good times.

Immediately my mind takes me back to Dynamite Headdy. I remember being floored by the opening sequence, having not previously seen a game which such a liberal use of color, detailed sprite work and lively animation.
I think it's either Mario 64,Banjo Kazooie, or Tetris. My father isn't a gamer by any means but he liked those games. Especially Tetris. He would try to beat me so many times until one time he did and was so happy. Those memories are truly special to me.
This post wins, If i remember correctly think I ended up with all 99's except from Hunter and Summoning.

Going back even further into my childhood though I'd probably say Banjo Kazooie/Goldeneye/Mario 64. Played all 3 for countless of amount of hours, I remember playing BK with my mum she loved it haha.
There's one game that I'll always associate with my childhood, one of the very first ones I ever played - Commander Keen 4.
My actual first game was either the original Prince of Persia or Lemmings, but I didn't play those for long, whereas Commander Keen 4 (and the rest of the series) I played regularly. Still love the franchise and I come back to it every once in a while.

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. Spent over 10 years trying to 100% my original save file and finally got to get that last 3% to 100 with the help of my boyfriend. It's also the first game I ever owned for my first console.
Also LEGO Star Wars for the PS2. 100%'d the first game with my father back in the day.

A somewhat boring answer, but I don't think I have just a few; it sometimes feels like every game I've played (and indeed, some I've just seen but caught my imagination) sticks pretty indelibly in my mind.
It's a reason why I hung out in the "Games you remember, names you don't" thread in the old place so much, so much stuff is rattling around up there that I could make reasonable suggestions quite a bit of the time.

I remember playing Banjo Kazzoie for a bit when I was a kid, I need to get back and actually finish it.
I have to go with the first Sonic the Hedgehog for the Master System. I was 3 when I first played it hahahaha
it's been 20 years since whoa
Its a great game!
I played BK again 3 years back and just finished Banjo Tooie again few weeks back!
Yes! I loved Mega Man growing up, and then they threw in some 90's edge and I could not get enough
I remember it fondly, but I know nothing of what happens after the screenshot you postedTMNT NES

My absolute first game was Advanced Dungeons and Dragons: The Treasure of Tarmin on Intellivision 2. Super fond memories of playing this with my sister.
When I was a little older, I loved Phantasy Star IV soooo much. Of course the NES Mario's and stuff as well.
