What game or console defined or influenced the type of games that you like?
I played mostly nintendo handhelds and consoles growing up. I really like RPG games and games like TLOZ. I never really enjoyed the bloody games like Mortal Kombat or Killer Instinct, I saw them as overly violent.

Compared to these days, I mostly play MMOs, shooters and sometimes sims like stardew valley.

Mostly grew up with Nintendo which shaped me to prefer good and fun games over menu combat weeb story shit, controller shooters, boring racing games (some are good) and collectathons pretending to be platformers

SEGA Genesis.
It was mostly arcade ports, and even those that weren't direct arcade ports, but were developed and/or published by SEGA, has an arcade design direction in them... I fell in love with these 15min to 45min campaigns, that didn't actually take you so little time to finish, since you'd get sent back after losing, which you'd lose quite a lot by the way, and you'd make a bit of progress each and every time... until eventually you beat it, by sheer persistance, and then... that video game that had kicked you while you were on the ground for so long, that took you days, or even weeks, to really finish... now that you're good at it, that you've mastered it, because you can't beat it unless you truly master it, you can finish it in less than an hour, they're perfect for picking up and playing in those brief windows of time you might have on a busy day, and when I have more time I'll play a new title instead, since I know that it could take me days of playing just to get the hang of things. It's my most played console, and for good reason.

I'll give nintendo credit for decent soundtracks but in comparison to sega or playstation, the games felt slightly more boring. Not sure why

Paperboy was pretty fun tho and danky kang

I called it Mega Drive back then too, but I call it Genesis here since I know it's a name most in /vr/ are more used to than Mega Drive, that's all.
