Message: [QUOTE="MegaHiro91, post: 81400, member: 175527"] I ask this because while I do have my own fair share of nostalgia games like Spyro the Dragon (my first ever console game) and Commander Keen (the first game I ever played), I sometimes play other retro games and can't help imagining if I lived in a parallel reality where I had grown up with this or that other game instead. Like, I'm playing through the Tomb Raider IV remaster as I type this, and while I've been a big TR fan since Legend in the mid 00s, and also love and respect 1-5 for what they are, I never grew up with the classics and therefore don't feel I have the "ability" to appreciate these games to the same depth as someone who grew up with them and hold them dear. I have a friend who did grow up with them, and as someone who had barely any friends growing up - counting myself lucky that I at least had siblings - I imagine if she had been my neighbour (or something like that) and we would have played these games together. Figuring out the puzzles and all that kind of stuff. Are there any games like that, where you sometimes fantasize about an alternate reality where your childhood and the games you played and who you played them with were different? [/QUOTE]
