What were you playing at this time 10 years ago?

*CyberCubed* · 07-24-2013, 08:35 AM

Its 2003 again, what were you playing at this time 10 years ago? I was still a teenager back then in High School so I had a lot of games to play.

This was the year Zelda: Wind Waker came out for Gamecube, so I was playing that. In the summer I remember playing Soul Calibur II which included Link as a playable character, as well as the amazing F-zero GX. On top of that Mario Kart: Double Dash came out in the Fall.

On the GBA side of things I think I was playing Mario and Luigi and some of the Mario ports. Maybe Fire Emblem on GBA as I think it was 2003 as well.

And most importantly Pokemon: Ruby and Sapphire came out on GBA in 2003. I was a huge Pokemon fan at the time so I was playing them non-stop.

I didn't have a PS2 yet, so I wasn't playing any PS2 games at the time.

I was a Junior in college that year! We played a TON of Mario Party 4 on Gamecube which of course we turned into a drinking game. And if you look between Waluigi's legs when he gets big from a giant mushroom there is totally something pulsating there. SO Wrong!!!!

For PS2 I was playing a lot of Devil May Cry that year along with the first TMNT game based off the 2K3 series.

*MikeandRaph87* · 07-24-2013, 09:39 AM

Seems like a random thread...ah,well,I will bite.

Pok'emon Sapphire. Starting with the usual water type as team leader. Also, Spider-Man:Mysterio's Meance.

Ninja Turtles (2003) and Rocky for Gamecube.

Captain PunchYouHard · 07-24-2013, 09:42 AM

Still UT. Which I was playing three years before that, and which I still play now. That and BW are timeless.

Gin Rummy · 07-24-2013, 11:49 AM

That years Madden I guess. But that can be said for every year.

Also, In 2003, I was really into Max Payne 2. MP has to be my favorite Video Game Series.

*XERO* · 07-24-2013, 01:09 PM

Mostly SSB Melee, F-Zero GX, Mario Sunshine, and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.

*sdp* · 07-24-2013, 03:33 PM

Well I wasn't much of a gamer anymore, but I did buy and play Wind Waker up until you find out that Hyrule was flooded. Don't know how far a long that was but probably not a lot. I also fell into the hype and bought Pokemon Ruby, I also didn't play it much, probably only got 3 gym badges. I don't know what else I might've played, I probably bought other games though just never played them. I bought Silent Hill 3 and never played it but I listened to the soundtrack so many times. I don't remember other games I might've played or bought during that time.

I was a sophomore and Junior during 2003, I was a full on metal head and not as much of a geek anymore during that time. That's also when I went to my first ozzfest. But yeah music took all my attention since 2000/2001 and by 2003 gaming was but a fading memory, it wasn't until 2006 with the DS and Wii that gaming won me over again and even then I haven't really been what people would call a "hardcore" gamer, i play rather 'casually', even if I'm better informed than most "hardcore" gamers.

*Candy Kappa* · 07-24-2013, 06:14 PM

Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine and the first TMNT game on the Gamecube

And lots of lots of lots of Super Smash bros. Melee.

Peanut · 07-24-2013, 07:37 PM

The Wind Waker was the obvious one. I was enjoying playing that, along with the Master Quest version of OoT that came with it, but I also distinctly recall being absolutely blown away by WarioWare.

I was also still deep into both the first Animal Crossing and Morrowind in the summer of 03, both of which are probably two of my most played games of all-time. I know I played a lot of other releases from that year, like Tony Hawk THUG (I think that was out?) and stuff like F-Zero and Mario Golf, but I recall very little about them. Wind Waker, WarioWare, Animal Crossing and Morrowind almost completely comprise my gaming memories of 2003.

RaphAndDonnie · 07-24-2013, 07:42 PM

Ah 2003...I was excited because I had gotten a Gameboy SP (although I can't remember what I had for it) played Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire CONSTANTLY. I also played The Simpsons: Hit and Run, and LOZ Wind Waker.

TMNT_Guy · 07-25-2013, 01:06 PM

Sonic Mega Collection. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle was my first Sonic game and I thought it was awesome (Still do.) but Mega Collection was what introduced me to Sonic's early adventures and I've been a fan ever since.

I also remember playing alot of Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Golf Toadstool Tour. I loved the intro movie of that game, makes me wish there was a new Mario TV show.

Double Dash is probably my favorite game of all time. I must have got it later in the year though because I associate it with 2004. But Mario Golf TT... I think I got that game around release mid summer '03 and holy crap is it fun! I'm not huge into golf, but it is by far my favorite golf game. The taunting, the flaming drives, Waluigi throwing fits and flashing gang signs, the announcer proclaiming, "NICE ON!"... it's as hysterical as it is fun. Though like Mario Party and Mario Kart, SO much better when played with a group!

愛 · 07-25-2013, 03:31 PM

Wind Waker and trying to perfect FFX...maybe. I don't even remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.

*Ninjinister* · 07-25-2013, 03:36 PM

I have trouble keeping track of what games came out this year that I've played, and which ones came out last year. I'm not gonna have any clue what I played 10 years ago."

Although since you mentioned Ruby and Sapphire, probably that.

*Storm Eagle* · 07-25-2013, 04:33 PM

I got Wario World for the GameCube around this time ten years ago, so I was playing that. I got through it pretty quickly though, and didn't even mess with it a whole lot after I did. So I just ended up selling it.

*Zulithe* · 07-25-2013, 04:42 PM

Honestly I was really tuned out on TMNT at that time, so no TMNT games for me.

I was playing Wind Waker (of course), castlevania: aria of sorrow, KotoR on Xbox, Xenosaga Ep 1... plenty of other stuff but those come to mind

*CyberCubed* · 07-25-2013, 04:47 PM

I'm surprised more of you weren't playing Pokemon at the time. A new gen release was a big deal back then especially since it was the first Pokemon gen on GBA.

Peanut · 07-25-2013, 04:56 PM

I was 18 at the time and I was done with Pokemon. I'd say a lot of the kids who were in grade school during the Pokemon R/B insanity probably got out of it too, considering it was the worst selling generation until B/W came along. People got older and moved on.

Luke795 · 07-25-2013, 06:16 PM

PS2 games.

I was around the same age (I was 17) and I was as hyped about them as previous games. They were still the top selling GBA games.

I guess the difference is the initial fad of Pokemon subsided by then, and new younger kids didn't get into the franchise at the time as they were distracted by Yu-gi-oh or whatever other anime craze was going on at the time. So between older fans moving on and younger fans distracted by other interests, I guess that explains it.
