Indeed a game Eggsnham played merely 7-8 years ago is still 1/2 of his life time. I am 30 and 7-8 years ago to him probably seems the same as 14-16 years ago to me. (I am 30) There just happens to be more crap in my head. But the feeling of time is probably similar.
Nostalgia?
Super Soccer on the SNES. I didn't have one, but my cousin did. Oh dear lord the awesome. Goalkeepers were a ***** to control, but I rocked so hard at that game, even though I didn't play it half as much as my cousin.
Does anyone remember the hoverboard racing game called "streak". As far as I know, this game never existed and is only a figment of my imagination because NO ONE has ever played it.
OT: I've been playing sunset riders and dk country for snes. great games.
The old 2d consoles were great, but my favourite gaming system has to go to Dreamcast, because of the good times and memories that are associated with it. It was the first system I bought with my own money when I was in high school.
The following are games I remember fondly from that beautiful under-appreciated system:
Shenmue!!
Resident Evil:Code Veronica
Echo the Dolphin
Jet Grind Radio
Skies of Arcadia
Grandia 2
Crazy Taxi
Dead or Alive 2
Soul Calibur (lots of soul calibur)
Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm
Sonic Adventure 1/2 (ok, they weren't that great...)
Bangai-O
Ikaruga
Seaman
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Phantasy Star Online
Power stone 1/2
Tokyo Xtreme Racer
And more that I'm sure I'm forgetting!
I'm sure nobody actually cares, but I went to list a couple and I just had a nostalgia avalanche and couldn't stop.
How could a system with so many great games have failed so miserably? /tears
i just sat and played through all of DK 64 again... that was fun. i suppose i can't really talk about nostalgia at my age but hey, its kinda old and it's still bloody fun.
Being 14 I'm just getting my first glimpses of nostalgia of games like KH and FFX couldn't beat em but thatl soon change...
Also anyone remeber dark cloud doing this on iPod so can't post pictures or vids.
I think it would depend on the person. Thinking about, FFX was released just under half a life-time ago for me. The person that posted that, has lived longer since it was released than he had before it was released. When you consider something like that it makes setting a definite period for something to exist before being nostalgic seem a little silly.
Baldur's Gate II makes me nostalgic and that wasn't that long before FFX. I didn't ever finish FFX and I only got it after it had gone platinum anyway so that doesn't really count for me
EDIT: I played games older than that but my fondest memories are from playing multiplayer Baldur's Gate II with my brand new best friend.
I remember opening a box from my grandma on Christmas Eve and inside it were an arcade style joystick(for the time, more like a flight stick now) and Moon Patrol for my Atari VCS. I couldn't have been more than six or seven at the time and I stayed up all night playing that sucker. Even hearing my parents set out the Christmas gifts couldn't get me out of my room until about 9 the next morning. (Although seeing Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain set up on opposite sides of the tree with the Skystriker and CObra Rattler between them made me forget about it for a bit)
My SNES would be my big Nostalgia dump. I spent many fond years with that thing, and to this day I consider it to be the best gaming console to have been released due to a fantastic mix of good RPGs, good platformers, and good action games.
Sure does. I want to be fifteen again! It's not fair! I wasn't supposed to grow up!
OT: Sneaking into my brothers room to steal the power supply for his SNES (he used to hide it from us when he was out) and playing Super Mario World, Castlevania and Contra IV... not to mention all the other games he rented. After that the N64 and all the classics that came with it(I really needn't say anymore) and then I decided to jump on the Gameboy bandwagon when Pokemon was released. Good times.
Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins, for the original Game Boy.
Diddy Kong Racing for N64 was my second video game, and I don't understand why critics hated it. I loved it back then, and I still love it now. I remember the hours and hours spent going back through all the ice tracks so that I could race the stupid walrus, and then the
These, so much these. I lived in Germany for a few years when I was younger and we had Diddy Kong Racing, but when we moved back and got an American N64 the cartridge wasn't compatible. And I think I lost Mario Land 2 a long time ago, but it was my first Mario game ever.
And all the N64 platformers like SM64, Rayman 2, the Banjo-Kasooie games etc. And The Paper Mario games.
