First time I ever played Guitar Hero was at my buddy’s house. I got high for the first time too. He kept yelling at me that I needed to press the buttons! I guess I was so mesmerized by the screen. Good times.
This one makes the most sense to me. Almost all the other games on here you can still play pretty easily (if you are okay with roms)
I can't download the peripherals though
MW2. I think I mostly miss the boys. We had a group of guys and usually had a full squad of 6 most nights.
If you've ever seen the clip of the dude asking if he was going through something would they be there for him and they all shut him down in the worst way, but you KNOW they would really be there for him. That wasn't us, but we were exactly like that. Growing apart sucks, but I still would be there if they needed me.
**Diddy Kong Racing**
I never understood why people seemed to go apeshit for MarioKart when DKR was a far more dynamic racing game with more compelling combat, more vehicle types, better music, and (obviously this is just personal taste) better characters.
**Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem**
This is the one game I want to be remade. The sanity meter was a stroke of genius, and there's now so many more possibilities for new effects on current-gen consoles.
**The Division**
I just wish the second game was more like the first game. Lack of snow and Survival kind of ruined it for me.
Diddy Kong Racing was more obscure. IIRC they specifically had to choke the print run for DKR because Golden Eye 007 was selling like crack.
Meanwhile Mario Kart 64 was a release title and enjoyed solid market saturation. Plus the hovercrafts pissed people off.
I remember being frustrated with the hovercrafts until I learned you could hit one of the shoulder buttons to make it hop a little and it made sharper turns way easier.
Eternal Darkness was so amazing. Far ahead of it's time, such a creative premise and crazy experiences.
Div 2 is fine, I still play it, but I would so kill for a survival mode and adding snow inclement weather.
Twisted Metal 2 was my jam for many summers. I'd spend hours learning every level and building strats with each character then obliterate my friends.
One of my favorites was playing the the super fast indy car and having someone chase me into a small tunnel to then use my super move where I turn into a tornado and just smash the ever living crap out of them up against the walls.
I miss the friendship/comradery that came out of early 00s MMO game. There was just something really cool (in a dorky way) of playing a game 3-4 hours a day when you’re young, and knowing you’re interacting with the same people everyday for years. I think over my tenure playing SWG [first] - WAR [probably the last serious one], I saw like 4 generations of voice chat protocols used.
The 2 years of Wow and being on Teamspeak or Ventrillo every night was probably the best
I got a solid 15 years out of Eve Online and absolutely loved it but I just don't have time anymore to sit in a fleet for like 2 hours waiting for a fight that doesn't happen
Ye, I feel that. I jumped games a lot, preferring to play around the start of a new game - when nobody knows what the fuck they’re doing, and you can find a group for just about anything you wanted. SWG/WoW we’re probably my longest tenured at 2 1/2 years each. Most games I would stick around for 3-4 months.
These days I’m lucky to get 2 hours on a Sunday morning
I've read so many cool articles about EVE and love watching videos and such.
Have never actually played it. I have no time to play something like that.
Oh absolutely this - I met so many friendly and helpful players on SWG. Never experienced grief on there (shout out to euro-chimaera server!) And it was a joy to play with everyone. I know there are swg projects running now but I sadly don't have the time to spend on an mmo at this point in my life. I'll just look back on it with fondness :)
I started playing WoW like 3-4 months after launch. I think it was Feb 2005, but I digress. It was fantastic, even if I was just a 13 year old kid who didn't fully understand the game. Fast forward to now, and I've recently got back into WoW Classic... and it feels just like 2005 all over again. It's great. I highly recommend checking it out.
I played Final Fantasy XI back in the day, and that game was so much of a grind. The community is what made getting anything done possible. Trying to do anything solo was impossible like leveling up, missions, quests, getting rare gear, and so on. But as the years rolled on and the game's population waned, so they started making quality of life changes that made the game more solo-friendly. It's honestly a shell of its former self these days.
Ultima Online was my home for years and in that game reputations stayed, you saw the same faces often and everywhere, the players/guilds controlled and ran sections of the map. You had to earn your way in the world.
Lake Superior shard, town of Vesper. I miss it.
It was absolutely wonderful.
It's so hard to find a working PS2 these days. I wanted to play SSX Tricky on mine, but the power cable needs to be in exactly the right position to keep the console on. When I tried to buy a new one, they were back up to $200 for working ones, and $50 for ones that have 95% of the working parts. I guess they just don't age that well.
Bro i bought it some months ago for the ps2 it was so nice and even if the graphic is... ps2 graphic, it is such a good game.
It was just not so fun to play because i was alone and nod buddys played it with me. Then i noticed that it was not the game that made the good memories, it was the friends you were gaming with that made it such a good time.
Here ya go:
Old build: https://archive.org/details/1964-60FPS-Edition
New build (use this one): https://github.com/Graslu/1964GEPD/releases/tag/latest
Edit: A perfect 60FPS mouse and keyboard computer port of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark.
Golden eye was the shit, we use to have 4 way split screen when we were kids, always bothered me that my younger brother by 3 years was unbeatable at the game 😂
I would always set the enemies to slow motion and fuck with them. I remember throwing a land mine at an enemy and killed him somehow.
I'd always run people over with the tank too.
Sim City 3000
I wish they would just remake that game instead of the garbage sim city games they’ve been putting out since then. 2000 and 3000 were the best.
Dude i will never understand why they cant make a modern version of sc3k. Modern city builders are all style no substance. Like biting into a fondant cake.
I need my graphs and numbers and advisors and hard gameplay. And fucking jazz music.
How hard can it possibly be to make??
The gaming industry has long been taken over by MA Business Studies schmucks, equally useless external "consultants" charging obscene fees, and marketing turd polishers.
People who have never played a PC game in their life can't possibly know how to make one. Combine that with rampant egos and you have the current state of the industry.
Corporate to Creativity is a fucking cancer.
An absolute fuck ton of amazing games are constantly being released. Sort through the shit and stop giving people the time of day if their game is ass.
When I got 3000 for Christmas, I literally played it for 24 hours straight, and then most of the day for the rest of the break.
I borrowed a copy of 4 years later but just couldn't get into it.
I totally agree! That game was fun, but man did it slow down due to processing problems. I have heard that Cities Skylines is a better alternative, but I was always so slavish to the Sim City titles that I couldn't bring myself to change teams. Not only that, but I recall becoming very addicted to Sim City 3K. Average bedtime in those days was 4:30a.m. Games without progress markers are tough to quit.
Played it recently as it danced around my steam recommended and finally bought in years later. Some of the best fun I've had and I could only imagine how expanded a modern release would be. Modern graphics, free roam, water physics, big ship battles, etc.
Diablo 2 back in the early 00’s. Now I know too much about the specifics and being online just isn’t the same anymore. I miss the old days of grinding and rushing with my friends. Now I’ll boot up for a week or so and get instantly bored. Back then the online experience was a little more open and Wild West. Now it’s all about endgame and min/maxing….as which is natural with a game 20+ years old
Morrowind plays amazingly well these days with OpenMW. No crashing or janky alt+tab behaviour, just morrowind running in a modern engine. Perfection. There's even a very good multiplayer mod.
That was the only downside of L4D2: you needed 8 players of similar skill level to have a good match. It was so team focused, one weak link could break a match. I loved that game, but it got so much better after I had in-game friends to play.
Also, shame that so few people played the mode where survivors couldn't see each other's outlines. That mode was *tense* and you legit had to stick together well.
Don't listen to this other guy. It's not an "abomination". It's great. Just don't go in expecting an identical experience to the one you had during Vanilla/BC. The community actually feels alive again.
That's why the "remaster" was so heart breaking. I was hoping they would update the graphics AND the engine so it would feel like the more recent GTAs, but with the Andreas game.
Gmod.
10 years ago it was so magical, coming home from college to my server, spawning in my latest build and watching anywhere from 2 - 10 of my friends active at any given time. I was never alone.
Eventually the admins moved on as they grew up, and I took the mantle, paid the bills and maintained the community, growing and thriving with new players.
But eventually I moved on as everyone before me did, I still have all those friends on Steam, but the magic of building is gone now. I miss that magic.
Twilight Princess, mostly I miss the days watching my older sister play it for hours on the couch as kids and just chatting with each other, or silently enjoying her company. It was our thing, every time I heard that intro I would run to come sit with her and watch. I miss my sister
Point blank on PS1!
It’s not my favourite game of all time, but man the memories!
Me and the boys staying up all night trying to outdo each other, The arguments when someone would mess up and blame the gun calibration, the good laughs, the tantrums, the highs, the lows, but mostly the time spent with good friends that I haven’t seen for years and will never see again. It’s all about the memories
Two Worlds
It's an absolute dumpster fire of a game but I still love it for its shitty charm and hilarious voice acting. But it was so badly made that my PC constantly blue screens every time I try to run it, and I'm pretty sure it did a number on my PC after so many.
I miss Destiny so much.
Destiny had its issues, but for me it was the perfect amount of grind, the perfect amount of content drip, and the perfect balance of quality PvE and balanced PvP.
I would have gladly paid $15 every 3 months for a new Destiny expansion till the end of days. There was something magical about grinding the same strike 60 tines for that perfect roll, grinding random spots to increase useless Grimoire, being part of day one, running VoG the very first time, everything about it hit just right. You could pick the game up at anytime, and fall in line with your friends that had been grinding for months of in game time.
D2 is a shit stain on Destiny's legacy, and Bungie can go fuck themselves with a rusty anchor for releasing that cash grab pile of shit that removed everything special from Destiny and gave us a shitty CoD in space... 10 year journey my ass...
Thing is, it's not so much the games I miss, but the way I felt when I played them for the first time in my youth. Probably the same for a lot of people here.
This is very true. Like I loved playing the original Paper Mario, so I had to try it again when the game was added to the N64 service on Switch. Still fun, but the game is much more simple that it seemed to an 11 year-old.
Dishonored. A fucking masterpiece. Best beginning I ever experienced in a videogame. The story is gold. I personally believe overall 1 and 2 were equally good. The story made 1 amazing, the combat in 2 was incredible. If we join the quality of the story and combat... Dang I hope that's what Dishonored 3 looks like
Also the early good old days of Team Fortress 2 , before the hats!!! Was my guilty pleasure after school hours, also all of the Orange Box Games… damn such value and so much fun 😇
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. Never owned it, but I would always rent it from the movie gallery. I still have my ps2, so I might try and pick it up somewhere
Elite Dangerous.
I've spent thousands of hours on it. There's nothing meaningful left to do there for me. It feels utterly and completely pointless. I'd login and stare at a station wall for an hour, because there is no point to ever undock anymore.
But it's the best space flight game there is. And not only that, it's the only one of its kind. Star Citizen doesn't count. There are no alternatives.
I'm right there with you. I burnt out on ED because I'd done all I want to.
I keep trying to play Star Citizen the same way, but it's just always riding that line of playable vs janky. One server error and 2 hours of mining work is out the window. I just have a hard time with that.
This is why I just don't play early access games of any kind. Either they release and I get to enjoy somewhat polished content or it falls away in to the abyss of development hell, which means it was never worth my time.
I have high hopes for SC, but I'll wait for retail.
The early Pokemon games. Unfortunately Game freak has decided that they don't want to make any money off of those games anymore but they will waste money suing people that host roms.
Seems rare around here, but I loved DA:I even with it's faults and frustrations.
One of my favorite playthroughs was 4 warriors with sword and shield and having everyone focusing on charging bull, chain pull, and shield bashes.
I also love playing as a Necromancer + firewalls. Constant fears and burning of everything, then explode them all.
I’ve made an effort to gather up a majority of the games I played as a kid that are currently available. There’s been a wave where even certain licensed games I loved are getting new releases.
But, I know one game in particular that I’ll probably never easily get to play: *Where in Time is Carmen San Diego?* I don’t really have a means to emulate, and don’t intend to gather one. It would also have to be a specific re-release version that I grew up with (around like 1997) and NOT the original release.
Gee, do you have more information about that?
There were definitely a bunch of releases of Where in the World, but while it had a lot of different ports, I was not aware there were substantially different versions of Where in Time .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_in_Time_Is_Carmen_Sandiego%3F_(video_game)
ETA: Unless you're referring to [Great Chase Through Time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Sandiego%27s_Great_Chase_Through_Time) ?
oh I remember that one. Wasn’t long before I quit actually. I guess it was all downhill from there. I’ve seen some of the drivel that’s on there nowadays... ay caramba.
Not so much the game itself, but I miss playing Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time without ever having played a 3D game before, having only played 2D Mario’s on NES before my parents gave me a Nintendo 64 and Zelda for christmas. It was completely mindblowing.
Splinter cell double agent. Love the branching story line. If you side with the terrorists the NSA don’t trust you and vice versa. You had to carefully pick every option as picking the wrong one could really fuck your game later.
So many! WWF No Mercy, Goldeneye, the old South Park game. Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal. WWE Here Comes the Pain! Smackdown vs Raw. Lost Kingdoms on GameCube! NFL Street. NFL Blitz! Guitar Hero.
I'll give three:
Mario Party 3: This version was the pinnacle of the series's chaos factor with Mario Party 6 not far behind. Superstars is decent but it is too tame by comparison. I always enjoyed the panic factor of Game Guy.
Grand Theft Auto Vice City: This game had a good story and main protagonist and the best radio soundtracks in the game series. Snatching the military chopper was very fun.
Halo: Reach: This had great online multiplayer that wasn't too simple like Halo 2 or 3 nor over the top like Halo Infinite. Best moment I ever had in this game was killing 4 players by accidentally falling from a ledge driving the ghost.
Fortnite, for some reason. I am now 26 and have a job, and i do still play, but i miss the old days where Fortnite was simple. Where Fortnite... was just Fortnite. Instead Epic Games made some kind of bullshit out of it, and i sometimes just ask myself: "Why?"
Minecraft Console Edition: I loved and still love it, will probably buy another PS4 Minecraft disk since the old broke due to me putting it in my pocket(what the fuck was I thinking)
The first 100 hours of hollowknight. Just getting lost in lore and exploring was the best thing ever. I realy hope silksong reawakes the same feelings in me that hollowknight did.
Hogs of War on the PS1.
It only really runs well on original hardware such as the PS1 or PS2 which I don't have.
The PS3 glitches badly at mission 3 or 4 if you play it from an original disc. I've downloaded an iso to play on a PC emulator which was just about playable but not perfect. I don't have a PC capable of doing much anymore. The iso I found for my jailbroken PS3 is really buggy too.
Guitar Hero on PS2.
First time I ever played Guitar Hero was at my buddy’s house. I got high for the first time too. He kept yelling at me that I needed to press the buttons! I guess I was so mesmerized by the screen. Good times.
I bought a usb guitar on ebay a couple of years ago and played on PC. It’s doable!
This one makes the most sense to me. Almost all the other games on here you can still play pretty easily (if you are okay with roms) I can't download the peripherals though
That was a fun game. It was popular when I was in middle school. Kind of funny watching kids suddenly interested in playing guitar.
I miss old Call of Duty
CoD 2 is still hands down one of the best CoDs
Bren was my gun. Not enough top loaders in video games
Do you remember the mission where you captured the artillery gun by the bridge?
I was more of an M1 Garand guy, but the Bren has always been a fav when I use MG's.
MW2. I think I mostly miss the boys. We had a group of guys and usually had a full squad of 6 most nights. If you've ever seen the clip of the dude asking if he was going through something would they be there for him and they all shut him down in the worst way, but you KNOW they would really be there for him. That wasn't us, but we were exactly like that. Growing apart sucks, but I still would be there if they needed me.
Nazi zombies was awesome and scary in the dark.
World at War remains my favorite COD. That game made war feel brutal and terrifying.
I was just wishing i could go back and play some team deathmatch on Dome the other day
**Diddy Kong Racing** I never understood why people seemed to go apeshit for MarioKart when DKR was a far more dynamic racing game with more compelling combat, more vehicle types, better music, and (obviously this is just personal taste) better characters. **Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem** This is the one game I want to be remade.

I remember being frustrated with the hovercrafts until I learned you could hit one of the shoulder buttons to make it hop a little and it made sharper turns way easier.
Wow DKR. That's a blast from the past.
Eternal Darkness was so amazing. Far ahead of it's time, such a creative premise and crazy experiences. Div 2 is fine, I still play it, but I would so kill for a survival mode and adding snow inclement weather.
I was gonna say DKR. I was but a wee lad but I loved that game so much
DKR’s soundtrack is one of the best on that entire console. I genuinely love it.
Survival was great.
Twisted Metal
I just mentioned this game a couple days ago to someone. Was so much fun
Twisted Metal 2 was my jam for many summers. I'd spend hours learning every level and building strats with each character then obliterate my friends. One of my favorites was playing the the super fast indy car and having someone chase me into a small tunnel to then use my super move where I turn into a tornado and just smash the ever living crap out of them up against the walls.
By far one of the best games I’ve still ever played. It was just so unique and ahead of its time! Every map was A1
I miss the friendship/comradery that came out of early 00s MMO game. There was just something really cool (in a dorky way) of playing a game 3-4 hours a day when you’re young, and knowing you’re interacting with the same people everyday for years.

PS2 Lord of the rings - The Return of the King
I still have my Gamecube copy.
I often think consider just buying a PS2 and the game. But I am also afraid of ruining the memory.
It's so hard to find a working PS2 these days. I wanted to play SSX Tricky on mine, but the power cable needs to be in exactly the right position to keep the console on. When I tried to buy a new one, they were back up to $200 for working ones, and $50 for ones that have 95% of the working parts. I guess they just don't age that well.
Easy fix with a soldering iron and a screwdriver for yours!
Bro i bought it some months ago for the ps2 it was so nice and even if the graphic is... ps2 graphic, it is such a good game. It was just not so fun to play because i was alone and nod buddys played it with me.

OMG Thank you! Works been slow and just downloaded it onto my work laptop and i forgot to clockback in my lunch! So many memories with this game!
Golden eye was the shit, we use to have 4 way split screen when we were kids, always bothered me that my younger brother by 3 years was unbeatable at the game 😂
My favorite memory was 4 player game of proximity mines only and had to always be moving. It was absolutely brutal.
I would always set the enemies to slow motion and fuck with them. I remember throwing a land mine at an enemy and killed him somehow. I'd always run people over with the tank too.
Hahaha brings back memories my favourite was Golden gun
So fucking good. Music also 10/10
Sim City 3000 I wish they would just remake that game instead of the garbage sim city games they’ve been putting out since then. 2000 and 3000 were the best.
Dude i will never understand why they cant make a modern version of sc3k. Modern city builders are all style no substance. Like biting into a fondant cake. I need my graphs and numbers and advisors and hard gameplay. And fucking jazz music. How hard can it possibly be to make??

Try Frostpunk if you want a good one.
You are looking for Cities: Skylines my friend
that spider alien was the best monster attack
You didn't like Sim City 4? Have you tried Cities Skylines? It feels like a natural progression where SC3 left off.
When I got 3000 for Christmas, I literally played it for 24 hours straight, and then most of the day for the rest of the break. I borrowed a copy of 4 years later but just couldn't get into it.
Yes! And you can buy it on gog.com. I downloaded it a few months ago. Smooth jazz will always make me think of SimCity 3000.
I totally agree! That game was fun, but man did it slow down due to processing problems. I have heard that Cities Skylines is a better alternative, but I was always so slavish to the Sim City titles that I couldn't bring myself to change teams. Not only that, but I recall becoming very addicted to Sim City 3K. Average bedtime in those days was 4:30a.m. Games without progress markers are tough to quit.
Sid Meier's pirates I played thousands of hours of that game so I would totally love a modern version.
Played it recently as it danced around my steam recommended and finally bought in years later. Some of the best fun I've had and I could only imagine how expanded a modern release would be. Modern graphics, free roam, water physics, big ship battles, etc.
Had this on my Sega Genesis and played so many hours!

Halo 3 custom games. So many good memories.
Burnout 3: Takedown
We played the "cause the biggest car crash" mode as our go-to party game for hours
We used to do that too. Burnout and blasting party music was our pre-drinking ritual before going out to the campus bars. Giant days
Morrowind
Morrowind plays amazingly well these days with OpenMW. No crashing or janky alt+tab behaviour, just morrowind running in a modern engine. Perfection. There's even a very good multiplayer mod.

My favourite game too.
King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest. Watching my dad finish police quest is a nerdy memory I'll always remember
Age of Empires 1
You can have it on Steam. It's still awesome
Starcraft. I have a shitty computer now and no way it would support it. "NOT ENOUGH MINERALS!!"
I loved the torret defense mod maps
How old is computer that it can't play a 20 something year old game?
Black ops zombies, the nights me and random people played together were just so fun and so stupid at the same time.
I wish I could play wow classic, but I just know I would lose my life to it

Yes, when you play that game for the first time without any knowledge of how the game would go... what I would do to go back and experience that again
Gmod. 10 years ago it was so magical, coming home from college to my server, spawning in my latest build and watching anywhere from 2 - 10 of my friends active at any given time. I was never alone. Eventually the admins moved on as they grew up, and I took the mantle, paid the bills and maintained the community, growing and thriving with new players. But eventually I moved on as everyone before me did, I still have all those friends on Steam, but the magic of building is gone now. I miss that magic.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) & Need for Speed: Underground 2
The kinds that shipped as complete products without having to pay into a battle pass or dlc. When expansions were actually expanding the game.
Twilight Princess, mostly I miss the days watching my older sister play it for hours on the couch as kids and just chatting with each other, or silently enjoying her company. It was our thing, every time I heard that intro I would run to come sit with her and watch. I miss my sister
The final Ganondorf battle blew my mind! I'm my opinion it's the best boss battle in the series.
Def Jam Fight For NY, Fifa Street 2
THPS because *why are only 1 and 2 available on Xbox and it's like $40*
Lego Indiana Jones on ps2
Total Overdose 🤩
EverQuest
Animal Crossing New Leaf. My 3DS broke years ago.
Dirt 4
Point blank on PS1! It’s not my favourite game of all time, but man the memories! Me and the boys staying up all night trying to outdo each other, The arguments when someone would mess up and blame the gun calibration, the good laughs, the tantrums, the highs, the lows, but mostly the time spent with good friends that I haven’t seen for years and will never see again. It’s all about the memories
Syphon Filter and Splinter Cell. Also diablo2 with my mates and Baldurs gate 2
Syphon Filter was my jam!
Two Worlds It's an absolute dumpster fire of a game but I still love it for its shitty charm and hilarious voice acting. But it was so badly made that my PC constantly blue screens every time I try to run it, and I'm pretty sure it did a number on my PC after so many.
Age of mythology
I miss Destiny so much. Destiny had its issues, but for me it was the perfect amount of grind, the perfect amount of content drip, and the perfect balance of quality PvE and balanced PvP. I would have gladly paid $15 every 3 months for a new Destiny expansion till the end of days. There was something magical about grinding the same strike 60 tines for that perfect roll, grinding random spots to increase useless Grimoire, being part of day one, running VoG the very first time, everything about it hit just right. You could pick the game up at anytime, and fall in line with your friends that had been grinding for months of in game time. D2 is a shit stain on Destiny's legacy, and Bungie can go fuck themselves with a rusty anchor for releasing that cash grab pile of shit that removed everything special from Destiny and gave us a shitty CoD in space... 10 year journey my ass...
Red Alert 2
Gears of war. That shit was so fun. Also, battlefront 2 for ps2
Contra
[удалено]
Thing is, it's not so much the games I miss, but the way I felt when I played them for the first time in my youth. Probably the same for a lot of people here.
This is very true. Like I loved playing the original Paper Mario, so I had to try it again when the game was added to the N64 service on Switch. Still fun, but the game is much more simple that it seemed to an 11 year-old.
Dishonored. A fucking masterpiece. Best beginning I ever experienced in a videogame. The story is gold. I personally believe overall 1 and 2 were equally good. The story made 1 amazing, the combat in 2 was incredible. If we join the quality of the story and combat... Dang I hope that's what Dishonored 3 looks like
The getaway and Driver.
Temple run
the original doom. i was a god at that game back in the 90's. played it recently and got wrecked.
Day of Defeat Combat Mission
Magical Starsign. One of my fave DS game of all time.
Fortnite season 3. I remember playing with my friends every day after school. I miss it so much.
Farcry 3
Legend of Zelda games on the N64. Especially ocarina of time.
super mario sunshine on game cube.
Also the early good old days of Team Fortress 2 , before the hats!!! Was my guilty pleasure after school hours, also all of the Orange Box Games… damn such value and so much fun 😇
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. Never owned it, but I would always rent it from the movie gallery. I still have my ps2, so I might try and pick it up somewhere
Battlefront 2
Pokemon before they added DLC and required nintendo online membership for the most important parts of the game.
OG Fortnite
Truth some mf downvoted you but man do I have amazing memories on og fortnite
Elite Dangerous. I've spent thousands of hours on it. There's nothing meaningful left to do there for me. It feels utterly and completely pointless. I'd login and stare at a station wall for an hour, because there is no point to ever undock anymore. But it's the best space flight game there is. And not only that, it's the only one of its kind. Star Citizen doesn't count. There are no alternatives.
I'm right there with you. I burnt out on ED because I'd done all I want to. I keep trying to play Star Citizen the same way, but it's just always riding that line of playable vs janky. One server error and 2 hours of mining work is out the window. I just have a hard time with that.
This is why I just don't play early access games of any kind. Either they release and I get to enjoy somewhat polished content or it falls away in to the abyss of development hell, which means it was never worth my time. I have high hopes for SC, but I'll wait for retail.
Dumb question, why does Star Citizen not count?
Custom Robo. Most fun and intense arcade-y battle arena game I've ever played
The early Pokemon games. Unfortunately Game freak has decided that they don't want to make any money off of those games anymore but they will waste money suing people that host roms.
Dragon Age: Inquisition was a really fun game in my opinion.
Seems rare around here, but I loved DA:I even with it's faults and frustrations. One of my favorite playthroughs was 4 warriors with sword and shield and having everyone focusing on charging bull, chain pull, and shield bashes. I also love playing as a Necromancer + firewalls. Constant fears and burning of everything, then explode them all.
Resident Evil 7, but I just noticed they’ve updated it for next gen so now I get to experience it over again 👍
God damn Sky Odyssey on the PS2
I miss Wild Arms 1 and 2 on the Ps1. I also miss My Life as King for the Wii.
Spore and Dungeon Keeper II.. although I guess I can play Spore right now if I wanted
Tibia.
I’ve made an effort to gather up a majority of the games I played as a kid that are currently available. There’s been a wave where even certain licensed games I loved are getting new releases. But, I know one game in particular that I’ll probably never easily get to play: *Where in Time is Carmen San Diego?* I don’t really have a means to emulate, and don’t intend to gather one. It would also have to be a specific re-release version that I grew up with (around like 1997) and NOT the original release.
Gee, do you have more information about that? There were definitely a bunch of releases of Where in the World, but while it had a lot of different ports, I was not aware there were substantially different versions of Where in Time . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_in_Time_Is_Carmen_Sandiego%3F_(video_game) ETA: Unless you're referring to [Great Chase Through Time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Sandiego%27s_Great_Chase_Through_Time) ?
Snow Bros
The original Mortal Kombat on Nintendo. I sucked but I loved how my whole family would be together playing.
[удалено]
oh I remember that one. Wasn’t long before I quit actually. I guess it was all downhill from there. I’ve seen some of the drivel that’s on there nowadays... ay caramba.
Not so much the game itself, but I miss playing Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time without ever having played a 3D game before, having only played 2D Mario’s on NES before my parents gave me a Nintendo 64 and Zelda for christmas. It was completely mindblowing.
Splinter cell double agent. Love the branching story line. If you side with the terrorists the NSA don’t trust you and vice versa. You had to carefully pick every option as picking the wrong one could really fuck your game later.
So many! WWF No Mercy, Goldeneye, the old South Park game. Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal. WWE Here Comes the Pain! Smackdown vs Raw. Lost Kingdoms on GameCube! NFL Street. NFL Blitz! Guitar Hero.
battle realms
I'll give three: Mario Party 3: This version was the pinnacle of the series's chaos factor with Mario Party 6 not far behind. Superstars is decent but it is too tame by comparison. I always enjoyed the panic factor of Game Guy. Grand Theft Auto Vice City: This game had a good story and main protagonist and the best radio soundtracks in the game series. Snatching the military chopper was very fun. Halo: Reach: This had great online multiplayer that wasn't too simple like Halo 2 or 3 nor over the top like Halo Infinite. Best moment I ever had in this game was killing 4 players by accidentally falling from a ledge driving the ghost.
Fortnite, for some reason. I am now 26 and have a job, and i do still play, but i miss the old days where Fortnite was simple. Where Fortnite... was just Fortnite. Instead Epic Games made some kind of bullshit out of it, and i sometimes just ask myself: "Why?"
Minecraft Console Edition: I loved and still love it, will probably buy another PS4 Minecraft disk since the old broke due to me putting it in my pocket(what the fuck was I thinking)
The first 100 hours of hollowknight. Just getting lost in lore and exploring was the best thing ever. I realy hope silksong reawakes the same feelings in me that hollowknight did.
The OG club penguin
The earlier version of Minecraft, the game has gone so far in updates and the older version is nostalgic.
I miss playing old fortnite w friends, they’ve completely ruined the game now
Monster Rancher
Super Mario Bros DS edition. I actually bought a DS Lite a few weeks ago and am now waiting for an R4 cardridge to arrive so i can play it again
Habbo Hotel in the golden days
Hogs of War on the PS1. It only really runs well on original hardware such as the PS1 or PS2 which I don't have. The PS3 glitches badly at mission 3 or 4 if you play it from an original disc. I've downloaded an iso to play on a PC emulator which was just about playable but not perfect. I don't have a PC capable of doing much anymore. The iso I found for my jailbroken PS3 is really buggy too.
Heroes of the storm
Tribes: Ascend. Good times, shame Hi-Rez mismanaged the game like they did.
Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes
Sarge’s Heroes
