I just remember playing megaman 1 on NES over and over mostly to listen to the music after you beat the first bosses, i loved the music of that game so much!

    The end of Twilight Princess is permanently embedded into my mind. Just the silence of Ganondorf standing with the sword plunged through his chest is incredible and a little haunting at the end of that game.

    That, and when my dad showed me DOOM. That was a good day.

      Man, I have such vivid memories of going to Toys R Us for the first time (and subsequent times after that, honestly) and being in total awe that the entire store was dedicated to kids’ stuff. It’s really sad that kids won’t get to experience that anymore… I know tech is at the forefront of entertainment, regardless of age, but I would wager any kid would love the same kind of toys we had just as much.

    It’s not a good one but the first time I felt existential dread was playing Missile Command in the Atari 2600. I was about 8 and realized that the game only ends when all of your cities are destroyed and life is extinguished. No matter how I tried or how good I got the game would end in a devastation.

    On a good note, I remember skipping a party to play ocarina of time. I thought I would regret skipping the party, nah. OoT was and is still better.

    Playing Final Fantasy VII as a kid and realizing that video games had reached a level of storytelling on par with film or books.

    My cousin and I were playing Monopoly on NES. The computer player offered us a trade. I don’t remember what it was exactly, but it wanted Boardwalk from some other property we had no use for. We declined the trade and console immediately reset. It still makes me laugh realizing the game rage quit on us.

    A bunch of neighborhood kids would come over on Fridays and spend the night, we’d stay up until like 2am with 1 person playing the original Resident Evil on ps1 and were scared shitless. Then we’d spend the next day playing Mario Kart 64 and OG Smash Bros.

    This will make me sound young but beating KOTOR on Xbox. It was literally years in the making because I was 6 when I started it and maybe 9 when I finally figured out how to progress to the end and defeat Malak with grenade spam of every single one I saved the whole campaign. Man I was in heaven
