      The very first Warcraft. Asked my supposedly rich uncle to buy me Doom 2 while he was in SG, and he got me a 5-in-1 pirated disc instead that had it. It ended up being my favorite RTS all of time despite having played Red Alert, Dark Reign, Starcraft, and other classics before or around that period.

      Never did like the sequels, though.

      The Wild Arms series. It was my introduction to the turn- based RPG genre.

      Playing the game led me to other classics such as Chrono Trigger and FF6.

      The music was fantastic and to this day I still listen to the soundtrack. I remember scouring the internet for any version of the first Wild Arms’ music.

      Early games of the Total War series I’ve played (Rome 1 and Medieval 2) which I still play (a few mods, mostly)

      Red Alert 2 (though I would never play online since I’m incredibly shit at it)

      Counter-Strike 1.6 (and 1.3 if it still exists in the wild)

      Ragnarok. Because of this game natuto ako mag-budget para pambili ng load at ng internet cards (salamat ISP bonanza sa student friendly prices).

      Until now, I’m still playing, though mobile version na.
