Video game fans have been sharing the four games that helped define them, after a similar debate about films was struck up on social media.
Movie site FilmStruck had asked its social media followers to name four films that personally affected them, before Twitter user @EpicNameBio applied the same idea to games.
I don't watch movies, so I can't do the whole "what 4 films define you" thing. But I can do games!

Fellow gamers were quick to share stories of how games had changed the way they viewed not just the medium itself, but also the world around them.

#GameStruck4 is next to impossible for me to narrow down, but if you put a gun to my head right this second, other than wondering how you got in here, I would say in no particular order:
1) Final Fantasy VI2) ChronoTrigger3) Quest for Glory4) Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Even Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson got involved.

Others used it as a chance to show their dedication to a single series.

For some though, having to narrow down their list to just four titles was proving too much.
I need more time to consider this. #FilmStruck4 #GameStruck4 pic.twitter.com/AMMGbGouTG
