Are they the ‘epics’ of their time, or some things that are less well known?
Yoshis island
Super mario world
DKC 1, 2 & 3 Pokemon gen 1&2
Banjo kazooie & tooiee TLoZ A link to the Past, Ocarina of time & Majoras mask
Warcraft 3 + frozen throne
Command & conquer 2 + yuris revengeI still love all of the 90s FPS games like Doom and Quake.
Same. The rise of the boomer shooter was fun but you can’t beat OG.
Have you tried playing on a lower difficulty level?
I love you.
I’ll let my wife know that someone finally does!
Half-Life 1 was the peak of this genre for me
Final Fantasy 6 but, back in my day, it was called Final Fantasy 3.
Every time Final Fantasy Tactics comes out again, I’m all over it.
I still play through The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past at least a couple times a year though it’s usually with the randomizer these days. It is objectively the best video game ever made, which helps.
What do you think of the other Zeldas in the same style, like Link’s Awakening, the Oracle games or Minnish Cap?
All good to great games that build on the foundation set by ALttP. I’d gladly play any of them if you put it in front of me but nostalgia demands that I push the one I played when I was like 9 years old or whatever.
Master of Orion.
MOO2
The Pokemon games on all of Nintendo’s handheld consoles emulate really cleanly on a smartphone.
I’m a sucker for the Gen 1 nostalgia every now and then.
Nfs hot pursuit 2 holds up insanely well. Ahead of its time. Gt2, ff12, musashi, crash bandicoot. Lot of ps2. Still play all my 2600 and nes and n64 games too
Less Pokémon here than I thought there would be, though it does make a showing. I do gen 2 and 3 now and again. Gen 1, I think I’ve wrung out completely, and gen 4+ (DS and onward) just doesn’t emulate as cleanly in my experience.
And I guess I’m approaching my 2nd decade of still playing certain MUDs: Achaea/Aetolia, Discworld, Lost Souls.
I don’t really game much these days, though; certainly not like I used to.
Age of Empires
Age of Mythology too <3
Fallout 1 & 2, Final Fantasy 9, Elite
I’ve still got my Nintendo 64, and I sometimes boot up Goldeneye for old time’s sake.
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Worms Armageddon
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
HOMM3 is like a warm blanket when you’re sick and tired.
Worms Armageddon was a classic
I didn’t have video games in my youth, so I’m just catching up now.
Rayman’s saga Especially Rayman 3 and Rayman 2, I am so excited for the upcomming fan-remake Rayman 2: Redreamed
