Guess that it will be action platformers since I started with Pitfall, Jungle Hunt and Moon Patrol and then I migrated to Mario Bros and Mega Man series, in Arcades definitely it has to be fighting titles because of Street Fighter II, World Heroes and Fatal Fury, then Survival Horror since Resident Evil 3 and Silent Hill 2 were my two first games that I have played from this genre but I do play at least 99% of the rest but not first person, they make me sick and some times I do have to puck cause my eyes can't afford them that means no Dead Island, Left for Dead or Doom for DoaFan :'(

I typed this list up a few years ago, lol. The term now would be Stealth genre, I guess Third-Person Shooters along the lines.

There aren't many genres I don't enjoy as a whole, I don't mind a FPS or sports game every once in a while. I enjoy fighting games despite being absolutely terrible at them. But the genres I generally give a lot of leeway to are: 4X strategy games, strategy-RPGs and turn-based dungeon crawlers. I'll usually enjoy games in those genres, even if they're rough around the edges and quite flawed. Also fairly generous with RPGs and 2D platformers as that is what I mostly played growing up.

I love me some old traditional JRPGs.
Final Fantasy 8 was one of the first games I ever played, and it just blew my mind. Being able to explore a big-ass and interesting world, the fact that it had a kickass story, the music. My god, the MUSIC. MMMMMM. Even the combat I loved, and though it's not necessarily a staple JRPG feature GFs were my favourite thing about the game as a kid. It was all more than my 5 or whatever-year old brain could take. So since then I've loved JRPGs that follow a similar format.

Most modern JRPGs have just been shameful, so it's getting really hard to find JRPGs of the same standard as pre-Enix Final Fantasy, but when they get it right they can be absolutely amazing.

(I know my opinion on FF8 isn't exactly a popular one, but I love it with all my heart nonetheless.)
