Which ones did you like back then that you don't like as much now?

Probably serious racing car games, like Nascar and Need for Speed.
I used to like a lot the one for my N64 and V-Rally and stuff but I don't think I car much for them anymore. Games like Need for Speed used to get my attention for the driving and looking around but now I don't think I* can do that without thinking I should just be going in a real trip to admire our real landscapes.

I've never really thought about that.

I suppose I used to get a lot more excited about Real Time Strategy games back in the day. And I guess I really don't like RPGs as much as I once did. I don't think I've played a new JRPG in years, and the only western RPGs that I really engage with are the Fallout games I think.

Anything that isn't fightans I guess. Funny enough I didn't enjoy fighting games as much as I do now.

I am, now a kid! Anyways before this years, I liked playing without any adventures game only without war games. But now, I only like adventures, RPg, I liked car-racing games before 3 years, when I was 7..

Now, It is no interest in racing games.
There are many times of games I liked and now didn't.. And first, I was always afraiding dying on the games so I never continued playing these games, and now, it is so fun.

When I was a kid I remember I always used to love racing games and tennis games. We had a Nigel Mansel racing game on the Super Nintendo which I loved playing and I remember having a tennis game on the Sega Megadrive which I spent hours on

It's a bit tough to answer.
I am not much of a gamer to begin with. still, I loved competing with my sister. So, I kinda played tow-player battle games a lot.
May be I am into battle stuff as I do play stuff from time to time.
I loved mario game too.

Puzzle games, like Tetris; Pokémon Puzzle League and several others. I just don't seem to have the patience for puzzles, lol.

... Oh! And the Smash series! I used to be completely obsessed about Super Smash Bros. Melee whenever it came out. Now I kinda dislike the Smash series in general and I never play it anymore (even though I own the latest one for Wii U). Not even Melee. I kind of got tired of the concept, for some weird reason.

Maybe it was the novelty worn off, @Akiranon. I remember I was obsessed with the very first one because the whole idea that NIntendo, taht never stepped out of line decided to do something like that was pretty incredible for me at the time. The idea of having a Pikachu fighting against Link and against Mario. they all sharing the same space. I thought thatw as Amazing. Then with Melee the bump in graphics and having Sheik and Young Link as well as frigging Mewtwo was very cool to me.

Although to be frank I never have been completely out of the loop. Even though I do play a lot when they come out and after that they end shelved unless I got visitors, I still get pretty excited with the newer titles as they were announced. Even now, Cloud announcement got me pump up for both reasons, Cloud hiimself and the wonder about the rest of the ballout characters soon to be revealed.

When I was in Mexico I grew tired of the game as I felt pestered to play it. Here I am lucky when I get someone willing to play with me. Usually only happens when we have a game meeting or something.

The same genres I like now. Namely, platformers, of both the 2D and 3D varieties. Heck, my first ever games were Super Mario Land 1 and 2, and my most recent has been Super Mario Maker.
