Either Xenogears or FF7.

I wish I was 15 again. Kind of.

STREET FIGHTER II THE WORLD WARRIOR

>>3431209
Solar Jetman.

Mario 64 for the first time was honestly one of the better gaming experiences ever. The movement felt so smooth, jumping into paintings looked really cool.

Also, Chrono Trigger.. I remember getting that for my birthday, running to put it into my SNES, then watching the pendulum swing, and play into the attract mode intro. It was SO COOL looking. The music still gives me goosebumps, it's so good.

The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall

>first time seeing weather change
>that snow music
>screaming skeletons

Pokemon Red or Super Mario Bros. 3... or Super Mario World. Or Super Mario 64. Or Link to the Past.

Of all of them, though... Super Mario Bros. 3.

>>3431209
Probably Earthbound, partially because I love it and partially because I would want to see if it holds up minus the nostalgia factor.

Cave Story also

Super Mario Bros. 3

When I was in high school, Half-Life modding was huge. There was Hostile Intent and Science & Industry, but the most bold and incredible was Natural Selection.

Dorf Fort

Crash bandicoot 2 or ff7.

>>3431209
Any of the Gold Box games (Specially the Dragonlance trilogy)

>>3431267
Chrono Trigger would have to be my pick as well.

The first moments of this game are some of my most cherished in gaming.

Super Metroid.

Beating it felt like quite the feat when I was about 8. I've never looked at videogames the same way since.

I love the open world that is gated off until you find more equipment, all the cool shortcuts, the breakable walls, it seemed like a real place.

Skies of Arcadia. And not due to nostalgia because I played it for the first time in April this year. I was so happy while playing this game, I don't even know why. It was like a happiness pill.

Mine was Majora.Sorta had that same experience when I replayed it on 3ds

Came here to post this. I haven't had that with any other game.

My first console was the 64 with Mario and Smash. I booted up Mario, and played it for like an hour having a great time. Then I found the Endless Aquarium and for some reason that just blew my tiny mind.

>>3431209
Phantasy Star Online

SMW
YI
SM64
SMRPG
Super Metroid
DKC12&3

Ys Book 1 and 2
Chrono Trigger
Tetris
Super Mario Land 2
Kirby's Adventure

FF7, I had only played shooters and arcadey games before that. It was the first time I wanted to know more about a games universe and I started drawing the characters too, which ultimately got me into art.

Resident Evil 2.

First running into this guy was something else.
I was genuinely afraid to progress in this game.

But the best moment was when I found out you could experience the other person's story in the B scenario. I just knew the game was gold.

Wow. It would have to be Metroid. That shit terrified 6 year old me.

Some people bought a Dreamcast to play Sonic Adventure. Others for Soul Calibur. I have one thanks to Jet Set Radio.

>Those cool tricks
>That sweet OST
>That Cel Shading

I love it. It's my favorite Sega game of all time.

>>3431209
It's not a game in particular, it's being a child.

When you're a child and don't have experience with anything even the worst game in the world is magical.

>>3433738
I remember watching my friend play and it was the first time I had been scared by a video game, but it was awesome.

>>3433705
I had my sexual awakening while playing this game

told my mom I had a gf because I romanced elli

>>3431552
This was my pick too. I still seem to go back to it for like 2 weeks a year and play the fuck out of it. I found out last year there was a second one, so I checked it out on twitch...its just some run of the mill shit mmo, I was pissed when I saw that.

Xenogears and Grandia

Pool of Radiance on the Commodore 64

>>3431209
shadowrun for SNES

>>3431209
Dark souls 1.

>>3431209
Policenauts

Have to go with Pokemon Crystal. I love the music in that game.

>>3431293
For me it's this, or OoT, Daggerfall just felt so huge, so epic, and so rich as a kid.

OoT though would be #1.

Pokemon Gold/Silver and Link's Awakening

Gauntlet Legends (n64)

Sumner's Tower theme in the n64 version gives me so many feels.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-efegcepn6g

As well as Desecrated Temple theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Gi25YhSZA

Why did all the other versions of the game fuck up those two themes? Were they meant to be n64 exclusive? They're the best songs in the game!

Before I knew where everything was

Before I knew where to find the unbreakable / upgraded versions of weapons

Before I stopped being afraid of movies and video games.

Super Metroid by far. Pretty sure that game was made by lizard people, cus there is absolutely no way any human produced something that magnificent in every way.

Guild Wars 1

I know it's not retro yet, but it's much too old for /v/. I've bought like two games in the 11 years since gw1. There's no fucking point anymore. The magicalness was thrusting too hard too fast.

Id have to pick EverQuest. The game is shit now. But it was a fucking amazing experience for the first 2 expansions on the PvP servers. It was the first time i ever played a game online, and its the reason my words per minute got decent from all the shit talking on pvp servers... so many good times on there.

Einhänder.

Played a demo disc and was hooked immediately.

>>3431352
I agree on that one when i watched the movie The Wizard as a kid and they first showed the game i thought holy shit is that real.

This isn't /vr/, but San Andreas.

I remember the first time I got done with the Los Santos missions and got dumped in the wilderness, miles away from my friends and family, I knew it was going to be much more ambitious than anything GTA had done up to that point, and the series hasn't hit a high like that since.

desu. Sinistar.
I only ever experienced it in a arcade collection (Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits). I want to experience it in an arcade. It was the only game I played on that collection. I love the whole idea about Sinistar, puts a nice spin on the conventional "fly around space and shoot shit" type of game. I'd love to play it in the sit down cabinet (first arcade cabinet to implement stereo sound)

Mine would be Majora's Mask

After a lot of time of not knowing what to do exactly in Clock Town, and discovering the bombers password.
The astral observatory and it's music was magical, it had a sense of success in the game.

>tfw i will never play Majora's Mask for the first time again and groove to the Milk Bar music.

Gotta agree. The sense of dread the clock induced lost it's charm after the first time around.

>>3431226
I'd say Pokemon Gold and FFV Advance
Outside of RPGs it would be Crash Bandicoot 2

>>3441435
Or Yoshis Island

CoD: MW2

back when shooters were good and original...

This and Golden Axe II are the first games I remember playing, so either those or Pokemon Silver.

Every time I hear that Goldenrod theme I get teary eyed.

Ultima 7. At the time, it was such a massive, detail-packed world to explore, full of quests, subplots, drama, mysteries, interesting characters. My memory of opening it for my birthday is crystal clear.

Wings for the Amiga was a close second.
