At the risk of sounding ancient: Lifeforce on the NES.

[–] Qwazpoi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I got a few.

N64 command and conquer I can still hear the commando blowing up logo and saying that was left handed.

Ocarina of Time

Skies of Arcadia

And kotor, but for some reason I remember the pazak mini game more than anything else.

Probably all the earlier need for speeds (1 2 and 3, underground) just played em a lot! Also duck hunt of course

There are so many good memories. Its hard to choose.

On PC it's Atlantis, by Cryo Games. It was a point and click, like Myst. I liked the story telling.

On snes it's Terranigma. Also because of the story. But the most played game for me was Super Metroid.

A special mention needs to go out to the entire GTA series, because I grew up with them.

I played Tenchu recently, and it was just as good as it was the first time I played it. Those controls are jank, but it's really a fun game regardless. It has a wonderful soundtrack, and it feels foreboding which is lovely for a ninja game. I feel the same sense of dread that I do as if I were playing a horror game or something. It's quite good!

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Lion King on the SNES.

I played. And played. And played. I took that game and system with me when I left home and I took it with me all across the country. And then I finally beat it on a 12 hour graveyard shift with a friend. We were on our last life and were going to be dead. And it happened. The only time in my life I ever beat the game was after 15 years of unsuccessful attempts.

Beyond Good and Evil for me it was a very unexpected good game with fantastic music and atmosphere.

[–] WarlockLawyer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Uncharted Waters: New Horizons on the SNES. The opening music alone is magical in my memory

And sadly, this game runs too fast on modern hardware. Back then the programmers used CPU cycles as a timing advancement technique. So like a Pentium 4's cyclic operation kept the game playable. Try it under emulation on a modern CPU and the game is unplayably fast. Yes I tried slowing down the processor speed in Virtualbox, can't find the sweet spot % so this game is lost in time. Like the dinos.

Gradius for the NES

The Mind Maze game in Microsoft Encarta

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Probably Star Wars Battlefront, THPS/THUG, or Ocarina of Time

But Oracle of Seasons was the first game I owned

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

THUG and THUG2 were great.

[–] Metype@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

That's tough but it'd have to be between Super Mario World and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

[–] callyral@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Sonic Heroes (most nostalgic)

Sonic The Hedgehog 2

Minecraft

Glow Hockey (mobile) or a similar game to it but that's the one I saw available for download nowadays
