4 main game screens that shaped your childhood

[O Ilusionista]

I saw this trend on twitter and thought it would be interesting to bring this play here:
what are the 4 main game screens that shaped your childhood?

The only rule is: the game must have a splash screen.
If you wanted to place games that do not have a splash screen (such as very old consoles as Atari 2600), place them separately from the rest.

Only 4 games are allowed. These are mine:

@danno Wonder Boy 3 was going to enter on my list - as I played that game a lot when I was a kid - but I could only put 4

Plus, if I could add Atari games, there could be 4 more candidates:

I still play those 4 games at least once a month, I've never stopped playing them since childhood. Street fighter 2 champion edition and Shinobi are absolute gaming perfection.

California Games (Master System version) is one of the games I do this too. Everytime I play Master System, I have to play it.
Same for Atari2600 Keystone Kappers

Here is my selection:

- Bomberman for sleepless nights to play at 4
- Budokan for the zen and martial spirit that emanates from it
- Dragon's Fury for the dark medieval atmosphere accompanied by magnificent metal music
- Drakkhen for the team of 4 players to manage and the encounters of random gigantic monsters on the map

Why only four games?





Final Fight and first Street Fighter II I played for years
Super Contra and Super Metroid are Nintendo games which can't be forgotten
I also keep playing Sonic2, Bare Knuckle 2 (SOR2) and Ninja Gaiden at home

It's hard to put only 4 haha. You may think it's strange to not add Genesis games like SoR2 here, but indeed my childhood was based on Atari, Master System and Arcade games. I acquired a Genesis a bit late but it was one of the consoles I played most.

these are my most influential and enjoyable games, - they feel like cristmas morning 90 % of the time, i feel that my childhood era games always felt insufficient/ incomplete and i begun completing games way beyond childhood....

Airton Senna's Super Monaco GP? Oh I remember that, good old times

Yeah, I have a lot of good memories from the Master System era

The last one in particular was more when I was an early teenager, but these games were what I played the absolute shit out of.
