So I assume many of us have played some games for the first time long after their release date. Like, maybe you didn't have a specific console growing up so we didn't play the "classics" on it, or something.

I'm just wondering how many of you have played an older game and thought "wow, I wish I grew up with this game"?

For example, for me, many years ago I played Super Metroid for the first time and fell in love with the idea of just wandering aimlessly around the game world, occasionally stumbling into new areas. I would have loved to have played it as a kid with childlike wonder without worrying about finishing the game or making progress.

I didn't play any Halo games until MCC on PC. However, not sure I wish I'd grown up with them, since I hate shooters with controllers, and I enjoyed playing the games in chronological order over release order.

But at least it's now one of my favourite series.
