Most of us probably grew up playing video games, some of them we forgot or our gaming system ain’t what it used to be. What games bring you back to the good ol’ days when you didn’t know what politics were and couldn’t be bothered to watch the news bc the new ep of Spongebob is on? For me I have to say the Simpsons Game (PS2), the Billy & Mandy Fighting Game (PS2) DK Country (SNES) and NBA 2k14 (PS3, please whatever Deity is out there bring me back to 2013 so I can cheat in 2k again and make my MyPlayer basically just Michael Jordan 😭) and probably Infamous for PS3, I probably played the first game like 18 times fr. What are your faves?
BioShock baby! It has story, killer environment, lore…everything
For some reason its NBA street vol. 2, funny because i dont even like basketball. Chrono trigger too.
Never played Chrono Trigger but wow what a cool game, very fun to watch
You should honestly, its such a good game that (aside from the menus) it doesn’t feel dated at all.
I’m showing my age here, but:
- Scorched Earth
- Commander Keen
- Zoombinis
- Encarta maze game
- Old Windows hovercraft game
- Doom II (got a copy from a friend on floppy disk)
Old Windows hovercraft game
Which one’s that?
Thanks! Apparently I was thinking of a different game
Oh man, fogot about Commander Keen, that game was so much fun :)
Especially Keen Dreams, so fucking trippy
a classic :)
Crash Bandicoot, Crusaders of Might and Magic, Advance Wars, N2O, Wrestling Games. Wish they would remaster Crash Bash with online multiplayer 😢.
The newest Crash game is pretty good, brings me back
Yeah, hope the next one is good as well.
Halo Combat Evolved
Wort wort wort
Aaaawubadugh
Project IGI , Desert Storm , Vice city !
There a couple very specific eras of JRPGs that hold a very special place in my memory.
The Super Famicom era around games like Chrono Trigger is the peak for me though. I remember I got it as a gift totally by mistake, my parents had meant to buy another game but got possibly my favourite game of all time instead. I can still go back and play that game and it holds up just fine.
PS1 era Squaresoft was also pretty much a golden era for me, Xenogears was a pretty massive influence on some of my younger intellectual development.
