What games did you play as a child? I still remember the day my family got a PS2 for Christmas. My sister would not let me play the Sonic Mega Collection until my father went to the store to buy a memory card so she could save her progress on Dance Dance Revolution. I only got to play Sonic for like 20-30 minutes a day. My favorite was definitely Sonic and Knuckles because it had the best levels, graphically, and was also the longest of the games. I even completed objectively shitty games like Sonic 2d and 3d Blast, although when I played them I enjoyed them all the same. As I grew up I eventually convinced my father to buy me Call of Duty 3, and he told me to keep it out of my mothers sight or else she'd ground me. Despite her father fighting in World War 2, she was a prude towards any sort of masculinity and violence.

The PS2 was actually the last console I got that generation. I got the Cube for my birthday, and then I got an Xbox when Microsoft was giving them away to MSN subscribers (remember that shit?). The game that sold me on PS2 was Resident Evil Outbreak of all things. I went over to my bros house and I saw him playing Resident Evil on his PS2 with 4 other chucklefucks and I knew the future of gaming had arrived.
Microsoft may get credit for the console multiplayer push, but I didn't pay for Live until the 360, and I played a LOT of console games online from my PS2. Resident Evil Outbreak, Timesplitters: Future Perfect, Socom, Jak X Combat Racing (i heard this was released on PS4, no internet I'm assuming), and that Gauntlet game that wasn't particularly great but I took what I could get. I remember I was in the top 10 players for Goldeneye Rogue Agent when that shitshow was shut down.
So while I played the other consoles more in total PS2 online really represents that special period when you change from a child to an adult to me. I remember blowing half my first paycheck to get all the shit for PS2 online (hard drive, games, keyboard, network adapter, etc.).

Does 31 count for being an oldfag? I had an NES at 7, I still have my Genesis and N64. Played and owned so many games it's hard to keep track. I still remember spending hours upon hours playing Sonic 2, Sonic Spinball, Ms. Pac-Man, Revenge of Shinobi, Terminator 2 Arcade, Earthworm Jim, Smash Bros. and Melee, Mario Party…
And now I hate everything the industry has become. It's so hard to find the shining nugget of excellence in the dank, piss-stained swamp of mediocrity, surrounded by rushed cash-grabs and political propaganda. Labors of love are impossible to invest in these days, because they ultimately get shouted down by everyone with a modicum of power. Everything fucking sucks, and people in positions of authority openly shit on anything that has real effort put into it, so nobody has incentive to put forward anything of value.
