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 played it as a kid using gameshark because my dad just got me one so I used it on everything I played..

Took the challenge out of it, but thinking back kid me would've been stuck somewhere somehow..

Didn't think it was all that tho, I liked Suikoden better still..

The one sure thing I've picked is my girl preference since then has been Tifa Lockhart like haha
