"Game's Question of the Week - Which game, if any, inspired you to get your current console?"

I suppose, being the topic host , I should start...

For me it was Super Mario 64... jeer all you want, but seeing my childhood gaming hero in true 3D was all the influence I needed to plea with my parents for an N64... and i'm damn glad I did!

It wasn't a game that inspired me to get my current console, it was certain people on here hyping up Shenmue. So I got it to see what all the fuss was about, and regretted ever buying Shenmue.

I'm so so so so so so so so glad that I picked up MSR, PSO and Grandia 2 at the same time though, they more than made up for Shenmue's boringness.

Then of course, like Grix, I got Skies of Arcadia and haven't been seen since. (Best game I ever played).

How's your animation coming on Grix?

Ah! Current console... All it says in the heading is "Inspired you to get your current..."

Hmmm.

Shenmue, for the Dreamcast, encouraged me to get one, but Skies of Arcadia is utterly amazing. Go play.

Mario World on the SNES and also Street Fighter.

Followed closely by Sensi World of Soccers "Your a goal scoring superstar hero..."!!

I agree with that most definately!!!

Cannon Fodder's "War has never been so much fun" must be the best song ever written for a game.

I think for me it was.....SOnic for the mega drive. I loved seeing my character hero kicking butt in a game I happily completed time + time again.

For me I got my Dreamcast because of Resident Evil Code Veronica. I am a great Resi fan and I will do almost anything for Resi Evil. I will get a Game Cube for Resi Evil Zero next year.

It was Goldeneye on the N64 - playing it round my mates forced me to buy one.

Pokemon Red for the GBC - don't sneer, it's a good game. But I don't want to catch them all.

And it was Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast. Oh, someone's already said that.
