1. Sims
Sims taught us many valuable lessons about life, such as love, loss, and the art of manipulation. Also, if you claim you never made your crush on Sims and had your characters' and theirs fall in love, you're lying.
2. Zoo / Rollercoaster Tycoon
Owning a successful theme park is no small task.
3. Neopets
A lot of hours were spent here.
4. Webkinz
These little animals are the only reason I ever went into a Hallmark store.
5. Dance Dance Revolution
At least this required physical activity.
6. Disneychannel.com games
Suite Life of Zack and Cody Pizza Pickup, Lilo and Stitch Sandwich Stacker, and Bueno Rufus. Re-play at your own risk.
7. Rampage
What's more fun than just smashing things and causing chaos?
8. Diner Dash
This game was probably more frustrating than it was fun.
9. Nintendogs
One of the best DS games ever. Although this game had me neglecting the real dog we owned in favor of my animated showdog.
10. Barbie games
Barbie Horse Adventure, Barbie Explorer, and Secret Agent Barbie were all the reasons my sisters and I fought over computer time.
11. Tetris
So frustrating but we continue to play.
12. Runescape
Medieval games are always so fun!
13. Super Smash Bros
So many characters to chose from, so many hours spent playing.
14. Pokemon
Gotta catch em all!
15. Lego Star Wars
This game absolutely consumed one of my middle school summers and introduced me to the Star Wars franchise.
16. Bejeweled
I'd play this game for hours on my mom's Nokia flip phone. Kids today would call it "Candy Crush"
17. MyScene games
This game ignited my passion for fashion.
18. Toontown
Fishing, throwing pies, and avoiding Bossbots were all in an average day.
19. Guitar Hero / Rock Band
Although these games are more recent to us, and we still play them today, social events revolved around these games and introduced many of us to some classic rock. The joy and sense of satisfaction of playing the 'Dead or Alive' or 'Sweet Child of Mine' remains unparalleled.
