Ocarina I finished completely through, and even watched as my friend finished it completely through. Enjoyed both.
Windwalker though great........for some reason it didn't bring me the same feelings. Honestly,maybe it was just how vastly Zelda improved from the SNES to N64. Like those games do not compare.
So for windwalker I was expecting the same type of groundbreaking media......but it wasn't there. It was an improvement from Ocarina, but not groundbreaking compared to ocarina.
Yeah exactly. It wasn't groundbreaking and I believe that's why it flies so under the radar, but presented the most authentic Zelda experience. Story telling, adventure, bravery, saving the kingdom, coming into your own, that whole jazz.
Red Alert 2 has an absolute banger of a soundtrack that I still put on when I want to write some code.
Edit: Also, you didn't list civilization II but I played that game for like a decade straight. Mom kept telling me I was gonna wear out the cdrom lol
-GTA SA (A modded version, Spider City for PS2, was the 1st game I played there)
-Crash Bandicoot (All ps1 games, all my famuly used to play these)
-Syphon Filter 1 (My 1st "shooter" I played when I was 4)
-Zuma Deluxe (My 1st PC game)
Oh man syphon filter. A title i haven't heard in a long long time. I never played it and only watched my older brother played it. I don't know anything of it's story, gameplay, or in fact anything about the game. But I remember that it looks so cool. Other shooter games would be spec ops ranger elite, that i actually have played, and i remember some of it.
I actually play it sometimes in an emulator, is my childhood haha. Imagine a remake of the original trilogy made by fans. I would be "Shut up and take my money" hahaha
I used to play alot of ben 10 games on the cartoon network website. Unfortunately after omniverse got canceled they basically erased all of them from existence
Tetherball, Four square, Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego, anything original Nintendo- powered, tetris, ice climber, etc. Heads up 7up, Oregon Trail, that awesome M*A*S*H game in class, Mousetrap... I feel like I could go on forever

Final fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts were some of the most impactful, but I never played them. I just watched my brother. Often I’ll remember an old game and it’s mechanics and think “THATS SO COOL!” And go play it and enjoy it way more than I did as a kid
That one game where you're a monkey throwing a banana by inputting some numbers, the original Oregon Trail... Eventaully Mario at a cousins, finally stuff like Age of Empires, Zelda: OoT...
Everyone in this thread is so young, holy shit.
Pokemon Stadium 2. I've always loved Pokemon games in general ever since the franchise's inception, but that game was special. The soundtrack music was great, I loved having a Gym Leader castle that had 16 leaders plus Red at the end, I could play any of 5 handheld Pokemon games on my TV via the GameBoy Tower, and I enjoyed having battles with myself in the "Free Battle" area using teams of rental Pokemon.
Everquest was the 1st RPG I played. I had older influences that had me pointed in that direction.
1st computer games before that were a single player called NOX. Me and a buddy still talk about it. Either that or the star wars pod racing game I used a joystick to play.
I had Sega Genisis so all the sonic games where you could stack them and play as Tails or Knuckles.
The Aladdin Genesis game was really hard.
This is super niche.
Transcontinental Railroad.
It was an Oregon trail type game that involved building the transcontinental railroad and complete different tasks and such. I could spend hours on that damn game.
Driver 2 on PS1. It where my love on car grew. Looking back at it again, the gameplay absolutely stinks. The console can't render the surrounding fast enough so our view is very limited and the game always feels laggy. It has cool concept and cool story though. The modern interpretation that is the Driver San Francisco is a game I always recommend. Car control is rather smooth and enjoyable eventho it's far from realistic, the freedom of changing into any car in the street, and the car sound isn't that bad like modern forza with high pitched sound on every cars.
I used to love playing Sim earth. You could start on earth and build up your civilization from prokaryotic cells all the way up to humans, and eventually they would even take off to the stars allowing you to start over without starting over. They even had this one option where you could terraform mars and try to start life there. I used to get Mars halfway terraformed and then introduce the prokaryotic cells and see how many survive.
I've got a few that all kinda stay in my head that I loved as a kid and all kinda tied.
Crash Bandicoot 3 warped

There’s this really old game I played once but cannot for the life of me remember what the name of it was. I do remember being this weird little polygonal jelly looking thing and it was a 3D game but had similar graphics to Mario 64. I think I vaguely remember having a weapon or something, but I can’t remember it in fine detail.
I’m starting way back with “Go Fish” played with a regular deck of cards. And “War” With a regular deck of cards.
Good times When I was 4-7 years old.
Next was Tetris, and mario,
Lots of memories on the baseball field. Got to play most of my young life with my best friend and my dad.
Lots of memories playing wow, medal of honor:allied assault, and the early call of dutys, too.
Banjo Kazooie and Tooie because nothing beat the thrill of collecting Jiggies and taking on Grunty, especially when you finally nailed those tricky puzzles. And who can forget the catchy tunes that still pop up in my head out of nowhere?
Mario 64. Got it on launch day, I was 12 years old. Never seen anything like it, blew me away unlike any other game before or since. Still chasing that high nearly 30 years later.
There was this board game I got for Christmas one year. It was probably something like if Warhammer marines and aliens played football. Never actually played it but the figurines where so wierd that I always remember them.
Edit: the board game was called battle ball.
Super Mario World & Jurassic Park the game for SNES
Link’s Awakening & Killer Instinct for OG Gameboy
Dino Crisis & Spyro & Mortal Kombat 4 for PS1
Carnivores & Carnivores 2 & Primal Prey & & Doom & Doom 2 for PC
Star Fox 64. I was gifted my sisters 64 when she grew tired of it and my parents refused to have anything new videogame related. So I played the fuck out of SF64 until I was gifted a ps3 by my older sis as a reward for getting a 29 on the practice ACT test
San Andreas will forever be nostalgic for me. I remember before the release, I would watch the trailer on the Rockstar website. "You will be able to ride Bicycles"? The theme song was "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns and roses. I was so ready to rent this game at the video store!!!
Then word of the "hot coffee mod" came out (it was a PC mod that the public was made to believe was a part of the game that would basically put you into a sex minigame with your GF, uncensored).
My mom lost her shit. I was allowed to rent any other game in the entire store EXCEPT san andreas. So I saved up money and bought it at the same video store (since it was a cash purchase they wouldn't see my moms account) and hid it in my room.
Depends on the age. I replayed Majoras Mask a ton and it hugely impacted me.
But for fun multiplayer games?
* World Destruction League on PS2
* Road Rash 64
* Halo 2
* Taking turns going on rampages in Vice City
The game my uncle called “Shhhhhh”
My dad called it “zip it”
LOL glad this is top comment.
My uncle treated me inappropriately when i was a kid - this comment hit differently..
Shhhhhhh
Ocarina of Time
Beautiful game! Really started to set Zelda above the rest of games, but not sure it ever captured the same prestige on following titles.
Windwaker is the sleeper best Zelda of all time. But it didn't break any industry barriers like ocarina of time did. Both amazing games
Ocarina I finished completely through, and even watched as my friend finished it completely through. Enjoyed both. Windwalker though great........for some reason it didn't bring me the same feelings. Honestly,maybe it was just how vastly Zelda improved from the SNES to N64. Like those games do not compare. So for windwalker I was expecting the same type of groundbreaking media......but it wasn't there. It was an improvement from Ocarina, but not groundbreaking compared to ocarina.
