What game or games are nostalgic for you?

[anotherdamnwatanabe]

I remember fondly Yoshi's Island and Donkey Kong Country. They were actually my mama's and I would first watch her play. They were my first games.

Watching your Mother play videogames automatically makes your childhood epic and beautiful, my good sire. I salute you.

Even if it's watching her massacring hellspawn in DOOM?

Nostalgia games for me would be DOOM, Ocarina of Time and Pokemon Gold Version.

The one and only:

Spoiler: Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon (N64)

Doom and Doom 2. Playing them in my school computer room during 6th form, and everyone having to spontaneously reset their computers when the teacher walked in.

"There was a power cut, honest sir!"

Nostalgia games for me would be DOOM, Ocarina of Time and Pokemon Gold Version.

ESPECIALLY if she's massacring hellspawn in DOOM.

Golden Axe, and Streets of rage mostly.

I still play them today. It's great, because golden axe can be completed in half an hour which makes going through it less of a chore than other similar games.

my first console was a PS2 and I'm getting kinda nostalgic for some of the games the (jak and daxter mainly becouse that's the first game I ever bought with my own money) but the most nostalgia for me is Sonic 3, GTA 1, and wolfenstein 3D. funny thing is that I had all of those games on PC. my uncle who is a programing genius(he works in programing) one day came to visit and he had a couple of cd's that he used to install a bunch of games (I never realized until a couple of years ago that he had pirated them).

other games include lion king, jungle book and Aladin (all on the PC and Aladin was a genesis port (and no those were bought legaly)). also the Hercules video game the first game I ever beat

I also still consider replaying MGS1, MGS3, RE4, RE remake, Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Medievil, Soul Reaver and the Crash Bandicoot series....the rest...not so much.

three totally awesome retrogames

Now THAT'S oldskool.

Me? I was more of a nintendo to SNES era kind of guy. (I think that's why I agree with MovieBob so much on gaming tastes. we come from the same era.)

instead of trying to do a list of EVERY SINGLE game that defined my childhood, I'll just list the ones I've played LAST YEAR.

Spoiler

TMNT: Turtles in Time
Knights of the Round
Romancing Sa-ga 2
Romancing Sa-ga 3
Quest For Glory 1 and 2
Sword of the Samurai

That should do for now.

I remember going round to my mate's house to play TNMT on his SNES! That game was f*cking epic.

 

[Dediles]

The SNES one is one of the few examples of a game port being BETTER than the original.

 

[Simili]

The first game i ever played: "Shinobi" on a borrowed sega game gear.
Then my first owned game, pokemon blue on my gameboy.
My first console game, spyro 3 year of the dragon on the ps1.
Aah, good times.

I'm also nearing 30 and my list is equally huge. That said...while I played lots of very old games in my time I probably get most nostalgic about the 16bit era. I guess I would have been...13? 14 maybe? I'd been playing games hardcore for years by then but for some reason this era tickles the ol' nostalgia bone a little harder than the real classics.

Who knows right?
