Video game, super Mario Bros 3 NES

Board game, monopoly

Other, pogs and pokemon cards.

Can't decide. For video games it would be either CTR, Midtown Madness 3, GTA III or RuneScape.

Sonic 1-3, Mario 1-3 and Alex the Kid. I also loved Wiz N Liz.
---

Probably Paper Mario. Playing it helped me learn how to read better. Also, I cried after I beat it because I was sad it was over. My mom saw me crying and got worried, and I didn't want to admit that a game made me so emotional, so I made up some story about why I was crying...I wish I could remember what it was lol

Depends on my age.

I spent a LOT of my childhood just playing pretend, though. It was always kind of fun wandering through my local state park down the nature trails with painted wooden swords made out of wind fence slats (or wielding a mop-handle staff as the wizard) going on fantasy adventures. I had access to beach, tall meadows, marsh/swamp, forest, steep hills, and open fields all relatively close, so there were always exotic landscapes to explore.

Mmmm...as a kid my grandfather would take me to Blockbuster once a week after school to rent a game.
The games I remember getting over and over again were Dragon Seed, Star Wars: Pod Racer, Dave Mira's BMX, Monster Rancher, and Silent Bomber.

Yoda Stories

Besides sports, the game I liked playing as a kid was Kick the Can. There was a big empty lot where a lot of the neighborhood kids got together to play in.
---

All PS1 Crash games, Digimon World 3 and Tekken 3, followed closely by Ace Combat 3, KoF 97, Mega Man 8 and Mega Man X6.

As for board games... War and that Pokmon one, don't remember the name.

Too many video so let's go board.

Magic was fun for a while. Omega Virus. We also had a bunch of people with Laser Challenge stuff.

Physical: Besides sports, I enjoyed capture the flag. In my neighborhood, one of the kids on the block had what was basically a forest. We divided the forest into two, and we had to hide the flags. They could be pretty much any where in the forest (so trees, bushes, etc.) as long as a piece of it could be seen. It was actually really fun, and thinking about it makes me want to play it again.

Boardgame: monopoly. In the summer, my brothers and I would play monopoly everyday, often multiple times a day. We got so efficient at the game that the games would last 30 mins -45 mins.

Video game: I loved pokemon, but my favorite game was and still is super mario world. Mario party and smash were the go tos for multiplayer, though.

Toss-up between Dungeons & Dragons or Final Fantasy IV.
---

I've played way too many games to just list one.

Anything by Rare, Sonic (original up to and including Heroes, dropped the series after that), Intelligent Systems games, Pokmon Gens 1-3, Super Mario RPG, and Harvest Moon probably took up the most time. Animal Crossing and Mario Kart too. F-Zero GX, Custom Robo, and Metroid Prime are like my Holy Trinity of GameCube games. Also Super Monkey Ball 2.

Fuck, the GameCube is amazing.
---

Mario kart for gamecube and super mario bros deluxe for gameboy color which I still have, I should try and play it again sometime.
---

"off in the shower"

I won every time I played
---

Riding my bike around the block and doing sweet jumps.
---

depends on the exact age, but I guess as a kid, the favorite above all favorites was always SMB1
