It might be the Genesis and not even the "good games.". Many an hour were spent on Eternal Champions and Crüe Ball. Moved on to the PS2 and spent too much time on Tekken Tag bowling.

Witcher 3 had some of the best video game writing I've seen. I usually role play as hero characters, but that game made it difficult. I get a job to kill a werewolf and find out she has a loving family that is subject to discrimination. Goodness!
