Once again, we invite you to take a look at some after-hours activities. **Let’s share the names of our favorite games** , both current obsessions and those that used to make time fly… years ago 😉 Post one or a few game names (photos, print screens of cover arts are welcomed as well)! Promote contemporary stuff or go a little bit nostalgic… And don’t worry repeating! It will only highlight how meaningful some titles are for whole generations. And traditionally, **everyone who takes the challenge receives a unique “Gamer” badge** and 100 bonus points as well! Let me start with something so obvious and yet so timeless: GTA San Andreas, of course. ![grand-theft-auto-san-andreas-screenshot.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/e/ed5796b34613e87944fe9fa1643320a6f71e5f15.jpeg) ---

So many to choose from, so little space! Favorite childhood game: The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time. I’m currently listening to an album with a more epic take on Zelda songs: [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/album/5VgztJRvkD0xFqFfMZcxDW?si=ik6WBUd-SV-FDcNFS_jOig) ![zelda-02-gq-21nov18_b.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/7/7e3b871dc211c0520e2e6fa2125b4cb05a14245d.png) Most hours spent in one game: I guess an MMO, probably World of Warcraft or The Lord of the Rings Online ![maxresdefault.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/6/655525848037b6c33c83a2d6703aaf27ea2109eb.jpeg) Currently playing: Diablo 4 and Factorio. Diablo 4 is great in couch co-op. Factorio makes me feel like I’m an engineer in my spare time as well. ![Factorio_4.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/1/b/1bb23023f3d2acff76b5079e76d90ce3911fa5c7.jpeg) ![58c359b8-e199-41cb-879a-4593d1c17b0d.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/e/ed298d7719b444196e0694f888918077ae07de18.jpeg) ---

Hard to choose but, The first one: Countles hours/days/weeks… in Diablo 2, not the new Resurected version, but the classic one, i think i replaced my mouse like 2 times because of this game. ![Diablo_II_Coverart.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/1/1674e2cdc9441b0f37e3e2948bbf55a2553558e5.png) The second one: maybe the Half Life (the full series), the story is just amazing, with amazing gameplay. (and Counter Strike, because it was a mod for this game at the beginning.) ![halflife.jfif](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/e/e102bdf23b40533e6548be96e4760c4becb6fbbc.jpeg) The third one: World of Warcraft, i think, this game took quite a few hours of my life… The grind was real ![World_of_Warcraft.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/8/2/8237e55aa2099b2832f478701ce2cccacb730c4a.png) Now Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, and Diablo 4 ofc. ---

This challenge topic sent me down the nostalgic rabbit hole, beware 🙈 As a late-late millennial, my childhood still happened in the pre-PC games era. Instead, I had **Sega** console!

In order to complete the tasks, you should pay attention to the instructions, so to avoid being lost or enclosed somewhere in the game, I had to use a dictionary.

Not really a gamer.

With hypertappers, Tetris seems to have started a whole new era, and the values obtained since then were absolutely unimaginable when I was playing it: [Tetris Champion: Winners of the Classic Tetris World Championship](https://tetrisinterest.com/tetris-champion/) Some years ago, I was also much into chess: ![AntonioSousa_2-1689168419058.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/e/c/ec6c43688f04f5a9a538464bcea6e786c78965d9.png) Nowadays, I don’t play a lot… ---

Time to make me feel old.  My favorite games are story games.  Originally they were by Sierra: King’s Quest, Space Quest and Police Quest. ![Kenny_Gillette_0-1689172846901.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/4/4b96062664f2148de0b3126f78ccf65f3fe669ee.png) King’s Quest ![Kenny_Gillette_1-1689172918439.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/a/3/a3e0c0fed54b5a895e8b86672fb9d2fc0bc87816.png) Space Quest ![Kenny_Gillette_2-1689172965992.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/e/e8572e1ed6a64834fa329d60e6102a0bd4e7560d.png) Police Quest Then Links 386 ![Kenny_Gillette_0-1689174714831.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/7/9/79673671772b641e8d1213dec100a355f2c3a888.png) I started playing games again a few years ago on PS4.  Favorites: Uncharted IV (why I got back into gaming), Star Wars Battlefront II, Spider-Man, and Red Dead Redemption II (Hope they remaster the first one). ![Kenny_Gillette_1-1689175071600.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/0/6/06950deb495621e4490bd10dca9b9a1cf66ddb9f.png) Uncharted IV ![Kenny_Gillette_3-1689173101914.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/d/7/d7c80af0316d7f2eb262640466c9e296ae7efda5.png) Star Wars BattleFront II ![Kenny_Gillette_4-1689173178929.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/a/d/ad9a9a75924bee57cf99842f5c86cc28271e06e9.png) SpiderMan ![Kenny_Gillette_5-1689173218417.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/e/c/ecc599c4536e15ff03aeabb42652d548a11f4989.png) Red Dead Redemption II (I think my favorite game of all time.  Finishing my 3rd play through right now). **Notable mentions:** **Nintendo games:** Super Mario Bros., Contra, Punch-Out, etc. [25 Best NES Games of All Time | Den of Geek](https://www.denofgeek.com/games/best-nes-games-all-time-ever/) **PS4** : God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Last of Us, Assassin’s Creed series, Tomb Raider series.

Oh, I forgot Starcraft 2. The number of hours I spent in there with ladder, direct strike and co op must be quite substantial as well. I’m looking forward to Stormgate as it’s created by many of the same people. It’s been quite some time since I’ve been excited by a new RTS. ---

Currently these two ofc 🙂 ![marina_pollehn_0-1689248899204.jpeg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/0/08ff27a59c2f98e4d55cdac4d5f0ebda263d0ab1.jpeg) ![marina_pollehn_1-1689248916316.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/d/0/d01096050befc22a594162d02225dde2596573bb.jpeg) And for some reason, even though it was waaaay before my time, PacMan remained a favorite. ![marina_pollehn_2-1689248954809.jpeg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/1X/e602ad1bdf3323127a7e0b30bb0c94dbc81d4ef2.jpeg) ---

PacMan is a favorite too! ---

Yes, excited for Stormgate as well. The dev talks for it sounded pretty good as well 🙂 ---

What better to promote Community gamification, than games themselves, huh? 😛 Happy to see that some of my all time favorites are already on the list! I’ve played World of Warcraft for SEVERAL years: my main was a very happy Tauren Warrior (tank). Met very nice people through the game, and also brought a lot of my IRL friends to play! Lots of fun! ![PedroDeodato_3-1689260285743.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/c/8/c82c4cc8a39898bd0b6ed5ec8a08bcf9f1507bc0.png) I even got an Horde T-Shirt when I got my Mists of Pandaria expansion pack, back in 2013! For the Horde! 😄 ![PedroDeodato_1-1689259910157.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/5/5991773956405bbeec07599663c5b5356f92cac1.png) However, my heart will always go to the best WoW expansion ever: Wrath of the Lich King! What a blast! ![PedroDeodato_8-1689261143250.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/8/850ff372c01533661846e4eb5f928d47582ef633.png) Being a World of Warcraft gamer, naturally I also delved into the realms of League of Legends (back when LoL was just an excuse to have a break from WoW, while we waited for instance queues). In WoW, I was a tank and helped protect others… in LoL I’ve always played support: not much of a damage person, here! 😛 But I loved being a part of a team, and supporting my team (literally) throughout every match! Played LoL since Season 1, and kept playing also for several years. ![PedroDeodato_4-1689260449677.jpeg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/2/20b7321b18a5225537231cb428f4e2dbaddad355.jpeg) In the meantime, I also played some CS:GO, but my all-time favorite FPS is, definitely, Crysis! Wonderful graphics, but - most important - very thrilling and exciting, keeps you hooked from the first minute! ![PedroDeodato_5-1689260509767.jpeg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/6/635bbf625f4324ba21cbe3c3ae5d84cf0271fcf3.jpeg) Saved the best for last, the game that introduced me to what gaming is all about: living a story! Do not be fooled by my first two choices, which are online and focused on competing! Even in those, you are always either a caracter in some story or - better yet - part of a team: a team member (in every team, in every context, really) is always a sort of a character in some story (most of the times, a story much bigger than the character itself). The first game that led me to this crazy storytelling/storyliving world was a very simple, friendly but albeit wonderful game: Sly Cooper. I first got it when I was something like 7 or 8 years old, and played it at least once a year since: to revive those cheerful childhood moments, and to remind myself of what a warm feeling it is to go through with a great story! 🙂 ![PedroDeodato_6-1689260801893.jpeg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/1/11f8719bb2ab64a532988f0e69b6f5925aae24fb.jpeg) [Next page](https://community.dynatrace.com/t/take-the-gamer-challenge/40656.md?page=2)
