Games from your childhood/adolescence that you remember fondly

[thanonyx]

What are some games from when you were a kid or a teen that you remember fondly? Games that when you look back on them it gives you that sweet sweet hit of nostalgia based serotonin.

I have plenty like Sonic the Hedgehog, Spyro the Dragon, Mortal Kombat, Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland, Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, Jak & Daxter, and many more.

A lot of mine are Commodore 64 games: Hardball, Law of the West, Impossible Mission, and Sid Meier's Pirates. Then on Genesis, a lot of that early stuff like Last Battle and Tommy Lasorda Baseball. Going back to that stuff is always like a warm handshake from an old friend.

 

[VampireLord1024]

Animal Crossing on the GameCube, Army Men: Sarge's Heroes on the Nintendo 64, mainly playing a little bit of the boot camp part, Banjo-Kazooie/Banjo-Tooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, ClayFighter 63 1/3, Destruction Derby 64, Road Rash: Jailbreak on the PS1, Sled Storm on the PS1, and probably others.

Super Mario Land definitely

Especially the OST

 

[Stingy Perry]

The OG Sonic on SEGA MD was the first game I played.

hat 2011 Spider-Man movie got a bunch of tie-in games, and I got the DS port of all things. It was an asset flip and quite crappy but little me thought it was cool because you could damage enemies by swinging into them like in the other movie. The boss theme goes hard for no fucking reason and it baffles me to this day.

Age of Empires 3. I actually DL'd first the demo and then kept replaying the same maps for a while before actually buying it. Simcity 4 + Rush Hour is also a game I wasted wayy too much time, I can still remember the whole OST. And finally Ragnarok Online... a game that forever ruined my sleep hours lol

 

[IyoTheHelpfulWolf]

I was a wee child, only 8, and I had never witnessed anything like it. Dripping with style, blasting my ears with molten metal, a Gothic atmosphere and mixed judeo-christian and greek mythos that captured my imagination, and the slickest, most satisfying, most immeasurably over-the-top and badass combat I have ever played, all lead by a protagonist I look up to to this day for his choice to not let the circumstances of his birth define him.

Wanna know the name?

Devil May Cry

[SecretStrategist]

As a young child, my late father had introduced me to the original NES and the first two games I ever played which had helped set me on my video game journey: Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.

 

[Waffles]

Almost too many to list... Sensible Soccer, Secret Agent, Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego?, Frontline, Cannon Fodder, SMB, Desert Strike, SkyRoads...

 

[DunkeyKong]

Yup just like @Waffles said, too many

Age of Mythology - The Titan (Win XP)​
